## What is Focos?

Focos is a big step into the future of computational photography and light-field camera, bringing DSLR-like photography to your iPhone and iPad Pro, with beautiful bokeh effects usually achievable only with professional large aperture cameras. With the technology of computational photography, you can make unlimited changes to your photos, focus after the fact, change the aperture repeatedly, and add multiple lights in 3D space, exceeding the limits of any editing tools you’ve known before. The creative potential unleashed by Focos is endless.

### 1/5 — A little help here

*2026-08-20, version 2.11.38*

This was disappointing. It did absolutely nothing to my photos. No help section to explain why. I was looking forward to using it to change the light source and enhance some photos.

*2026-08-06, version 2.11.38*

I want to purchase lifetime version but in app purchases mode there is no lifetime option. But you people mention in App Store there is a lifetime purchase and it’s cost about 12.99$

### 1/5 — Oh

*2026-08-04, version 2.11.38*

I couldnt run the app
Iphone 7 plus

### 1/5 — Pay pay pay

*2026-08-02, version 2.11.38*

I’m not paying $14 Aud a week for simple photo editing… which there is now no free option! Used to be my favourite go to app for photos and now it’s 1 star, do better and don’t be greedy

### 1/5 — No longer able to zoom in to edit

*2026-07-25, version 2.11.38*

I really loved this app and when it gets it right it is still good. However since an update, I am unable to paint different depths of field accurately as when you zoom in, the app paints in a different position. Using an iPhone 17 pro max. Really hope it gets fixed to return it to a 5 star app.

### 1/5 — $130 Sub for what exactly?

*2026-07-16, version 2.11.38*

Don’t need another useless subscription.

### 1/5 — Scammy subscription?

*2026-06-30, version 2.11.38*

Something has gone wrong with this app, which I remember thinking was quite reputable some years ago. But I was astonished on latest download to find it absolutely crippled for use, unless I paid —no kidding, — $9.99 every WEEK.  You read that correctly, every WEEK. Why would a developer have such a pricing as their default? I don’t know, but one possibility is that their new business plan includes hoping that people forget to cancel their weekly subscription after the first few days. Just a guess. (Yes, there is a $99 per year subscription plan, but nothing reasonable by the month.  And $99 per year is also an astonishingly high price for an app that isn’t handling your entire workflow.) All in all, this bizarre pricing makes me worry that the developer has perhaps been bought out by some predatory firm. I don’t know that to be the case, I am just suspicious that where there is smoke there is fire. So I will not give them any of my data, or any access privileges on my phone.
