## What is OverCam?

OverCam uses the flow of images captured by your iPhone’s video camera and combines these images in transparency to create an entirely new picture. The assembly of images is done in real-time and seamlessly, producing a shot that features all objects captured in movement. You can choose at what moment the final image is saved—simply by tapping the screen. An integrated viewer  enables you to browse through, select, and share different images.
 
• The number of combined images can be modified at all times; use sliders to control your stacks of images and capture speeds.
• 4k UHD capture on iPhone 6s and over.
• Optional Binary Effect module allows you to create awesome images with extreme contrast.
• Optional Posterization Effect module allows you to create images with extreme color saturation.
• Optional Black and White module.
• An auto-enhance filter has been integrated to automatically improve the quality of your superimpositions.
• A selection of frames are available to add to your images.

 
This multiple exposure technique is being used more and more in professional photography, particularly in highly artistic and sports photography. And, for the very first time, you can now do superimposition in REAL-TIME to create high-quality, predictable, and absolutely stunning shots. Photography professionals and amateurs alike will be amazed at OverCam’s results.

### 3/5 — Love it updated plz

*2019-01-09, version 1.10.2*

The newest update crashes a few times and when looking at the photos in the app didn't rotate from landscape to portrait 

It's amazing app for getting great photos I love it I like that I get to choose how many photos it takes to compress it together ... I do wish that you could 

1,removed grey overlay box for better Ui

2,let me take photos with my EarPods

3, add a self timer  

4,a manual focus with focus peaking 

5, increase the number of photos it could take by 20 or more

### 3/5 — Awesome

*2017-09-01, version 1.10.2*

Really great app little outdated but the overlaying of photos is awesome I don't like how it very slow on its animation when try to take 10 photos maybe make it a little faster when it does 6or more photos yes I had the speed all the way up still felt a little slow but still awesome to have and use Day to day

### 1/5 — NO, Just don't waster your time.

*2016-04-06, version 1.9.2*

This app is useless. Very low features, terrible UI, boring and dull.

### 5/5 — Great Camera!

*2016-01-09, version 1.9.1*

Do not understand about the multiple exposure, etc.; however, OverCam does take clear, sharp (regular) photographs.  Guess I will need to experiment with it some more to see what else is possible.

### 4/5 — For creatives

*2015-09-11*

Good creative app

### 1/5 — Frustrating - could be great but I couldn't work it out

*2015-04-26*

I wanted to use this app to layer multiple images to create a superimposed montage effect, but I could only stack up to 10 images, and there was no way of spreading the capture over a longer period.

### 5/5 — Perfect!!!!!

*2015-04-05, version 1.7.0*

I had downloaded an app a few years back that was very similar to this one and foolishly erased it.  A friend on Instagram suggested this one and it is perfect!!!! It gives that multiple exposure look to your camera shots! Great ghosting effect!  It is perfect for me and I am very happy with it!!!!

### 5/5 — Magnifique

*2014-05-09, version 1.6.1*

Une applications simplement fascinante... merci !

### 4/5 — Cool App

*2014-03-04, version 1.6.0*

The new update is such an improvement. Although I'm still learning the controls I've managed to take some pretty cool double exposure shots.

### 3/5 — Overcam Cool

*2014-02-12, version 1.5.0*

Great app! Enjoy using the 1 bit (binary) feature. It's perfect for high contrast portraits.
