Super appareil photo
A remplacé l’app appareil photo de mon iPhone !
Been using for YEARS
I love using Obscura. i am no photographer, but the tools and menus are easy to use and navigate and it helps me take better pictures. i love the filters too! they’re really good.
i’ve been using this app for many years and the improvements over the years have been significant. it’s clearly a labour of love and you can feel that through every part of its design.

The best camera
Adds so much capability without getting in the way. If you care about how your photos turn out, you owe it to yourself to get it.
Super App
Bei der Suche nach einer App, die mich im Handling ob der vielen Klicks für die richtige Einstellung nicht verrückt macht, habe ich Obscura entdeckt. Bin noch in der Testphase, aber das macht schon richtig Laune. Intuitiv vom Feinsten. Sehr schönes Interface. Top. Ich habe nur ein Problem wenn ich die Fusion Cam nutze - die App stürzt beim Einstellen jeden Parameters sofort ab. Oder geht das nur in der gekauften Version?

Not a free app anymore
I used to love using Obscura, but I went through a time when I wasn’t able to do much photography so I stopped using it. I get the app again and am greeted with a screen that says I can only take 30 pictures before forking over $25 for a subscription.
I have no problem with prompting about a subscription because I understand it’s not free to make apps like this. I’m even okay working with a limited feature set to use the app for free. But forcing a subscription when it was optional before isn’t cool.
Time to go find another good camera app again…

Response from developer
Hi Noah, if you paid for Obscura, you definitely shouldn’t be seeing the capture limit. Apologies for that! Could you reach out to me at ben@obscura.studio and I’ll see what I can do.
Good but 3 suggestions
1. There are 4 raw presets, and we don't really know what goes into them..
2. There should be a way to balance the exposure by going up and down like in the native camera app
3. Zoom should be more intuitive, like pressing a random button rather than having to swipe after you press the button.

Disappointing Change to an App I Used to Enjoy
I’m extremely disappointed to open an app that I’ve been able to use freely, only to now be presented with a subscription paywall for features that were previously available without having to pay.
I completely understand that independent developers need to earn money and that premium features can be a reasonable way to support an app. However, taking functionality that existing users have been accustomed to using for free and suddenly requiring a subscription for it feels very different.
The $24.99/year price isn’t necessarily outrageous, but that’s not really the point. It’s the feeling of opening an app expecting the experience you’ve always had and discovering that you’re now being asked to pay to continue using features you already had access to.
There is at least an option to continue with limited features, but that doesn’t make the change any less disappointing. I would have much preferred a more transparent transition or having existing functionality remain available to current users while introducing new premium features for subscribers.
I really wanted to continue enjoying this app, but being unexpectedly pushed toward a subscription has definitely changed how I feel about it. 😕

Forced to pay
Not worth it
Good but with issues
I was looking for an app that lets me freely zoom with the front camera because the default camera app doesn't allow this. This app does what I downloaded it for and the image quality seems basically the same. 5 star app
Edit: took 2 stars away because it doesn't seem to be able to shoot video properly. Doesn't matter if I change the settings to 24, 30 or 60 fps. The result always comes out as a strange and jittery 16.58fps

Free Trial
There are three camera apps I like, but with so many features and without out detailed information about which are supported for a given iPhone model it is extremely challenging to evaluate and choose an app.
A free trial that is not time limited but allowed the user to take a limited number of photos would make the process easier.

Cool app but not my jam
Kind of hard to explain but it didn’t do it for me. Something with the UI I guess, or maybe I’m not smart enough to make the most of it. I can see a lot of work has been put in crafting the app so I’m still giving 4 stars though

真的不實用（勿受騙）
No Free Tier, no support
There is no accessible free tier, I’m taken to the upgrade screen, with no way to get to the camera controls. Also the support link next to the review button leads to a page not found error screen.
Limited without IAPs
I downloaded this on recommendation from a magazine article but it turns out that the useful features can’t be tried without subscribing and the initial subscription is offered with a discount… ie a surcharge for changing your mind later, so I deleted it.
Where is support?
Emailed twice, ignored. Camera shoots whatever it wants despite what settings you choose. Need to shoot raw, can't have random mode. Needs to be more stable and the dev needs to care
Best photography app I’ve used – Incredible interface and features!
I’ve been using Obscura for a short time now, and I’m already impressed by the level of detail. The interface is professional, unique, and very intuitive for photography.
One of my favorite features is the level indicator—having the exact degree number in the center is incredibly helpful for getting the perfect shot. Also, the face tracking for focus is excellent and makes shooting people much more reliable.
While I haven't found a ProRes option for video yet, it’s not a problem for me. I use the Blackmagic Cam app for heavy video work, and for quick, high-quality clips, Obscura or the stock camera app are more than enough.
Overall, for photography, this is hands down the best app I’ve ever used. Highly recommended!

Abzocke
Hatte Lifetime gekauft und soll für die neue Version wieder voll bezahlen. Finger weg!
Best App to photograph, nice presets!
I really love this app and have been using it for over year now. I love the neutral look of the fotos but the filters/presets aswell. I even went back to old photos I took with my phone and my camera to use the presets.
You can geek out on a lot of options but can also leave it as easy as a phone camera should be. Raw fotography works fine and the photos in general look much better then on the normal iPhone camera app.
However, lately I have encountered some serious problems. The image-settings largely don’t seem to really change anything. If I select 48MP-resolution it doesn’t work. Changing to 3:2 aspect ratio doesn’t work. Saving only the edit of a taken photo doesn’t work. Photos therefore will now only be saved in 4:3, 12MP and in portrait-mode. It used to work and I could change all settings at will. Pls fix this, it would be a shame if I could not use the app properly anymore.

Good, but missing some things.
It’s good, no doubt about that, but I just cannot feel happy paying for a camera app that can’t use all my phone’s cameras. This is not unique to Obscura, but all the non-apple camera apps seem to miss my 28 and 35mm lenses on my iPhone pro. A shame! Otherwise a perfect camera apps.
Beautuful but a big problem
Really well-made app — I’ve tried several, and in terms of interface and usability it’s probably the best. It allows shooting both in ProRAW (12 and 48 MP) and standard RAW at 12 MP, with full manual control and the ability to lock both focus and exposure. I would absolutely buy it, but it has one major flaw that makes it practically useless for me: I can’t export the original .DNG files to my Mac, where I want to edit them (with Halide this works without any problem)!!! Exporting from the app doesn’t work, neither via AirDrop nor by saving to iCloud, and from the iPhone Photos library it only exports the JPG or HEIC version. I don’t know if it’s a bug or a limitation of the app, but as it is, it’s totally useless to me. A real shame.
