What's New in Kodist

2026.5

July 8, 2026

Hi there! This update contains some improvements to the photos you make with Kodist. ◎ Manual focus After tapping to focus, you can now swipe left/right to adjust the focal distance. Zebra lines are overlaid to help you see where you are focused. We hope you like having manual focus control while keeping Kodist's lightweight camera experience. ◎ Technical improvements * Your photos are now oriented more accurately and reliably, especially when you take portrait and landscape shots in quick succession. * Photo orientations are locked when you press the capture button — the orientation won’t change if you move the device after capture. * Photo timestamps are locked to the moment you pressed the shutter. * When photographing a person, colors now subtly correct toward natural skin tones. * Kodist now launches 50% faster — from 0.87s to 0.41s on an iPhone 15 Pro. Not huge, but we like it ;) Thank you and hope you’ll enjoy the update.

Amazing, but…

I loved it, I had a challenge with “make a certain amount of shots to unlock new film filter”, it was a cool simple app until “pay to win” model kicked in. Now all the unlocked effects are off, my favourite Lomo is behind a paywall. The app is well-made, love everything about it but $7 is a little too steep for a nostalgic basic product. Especially when Huji exists, which does essentially the same thing. Shame but I choose to uninstall.

Hi there, I wouldn’t call it pay to win if it’s a one-time $7 purchase to literally unlock everything. I wish you the best and hope you find a great camera app you enjoy.

Awesome! Needs full screen preview.

Please add normal full screen view it’s too small

Thanks, and I’m glad you enjoy the app! Cheers 🍺

Great

Replaced Zerocam with this because it’s free. I’d like to have manual focus control and some kind of exposure tool given this app tends to overexpose the photos
