What's New in mood.camera

2.2.1

July 17, 2026

Fixed an issue where, in rare cases, the dynamic range effect would be applied too heavily. This was mostly noticeable on LOW and ZERO settings. New in 2.2.0... Metro has been reworked to be closer to my initial vision for the emulation, with cool desaturated mids, and punchy reds & greens. Currently Metro is the second least used preset, so I feel this change will be well received. I have also added a new Bright tone which pushes exposure while preserving highlights. Perfect in scenes where you want to capture the intensity of the light. Lastly, for a bit of inspiration, you can now randomise all settings in the advanced preset editor. Enjoy!

Unbelievable!

First -and probably only- review of an app ever. And that’s because it deserves it.

To anyone reading this, delete everything else, this app is all you need.

To the developer(s), you have given a gift to the photography community at large.

Brilliant photography app with exhaustive filters

One of, if not the best camera apps on the store right now. Simple, intuitive and easily customizable. Only drawback currently is that it’s a bit heavy on the resource usage but apart from that it’s almost perfect.

And a big shoutout to Alex, the developer for his quick and extensive support!

Using this instead of buying a standalone camera

I was considering some standalone cameras until I stumbled onto this app, and honestly, this gets me 95% there, and I can just use my aging iPhone mini. 5 stars easy.
