## What is PennyCam?

PennyCam is a camera made for little hands.

Point it at anything and tap — anywhere on the screen. Both cameras fire at once, so every photo captures what your child is pointing at AND their face in that moment, together in one shot.

BUILT FOR TODDLERS
• One giant shutter button to teach kids to aim for a button — but a tap anywhere on the screen works too
• The volume buttons and the camera button take a photo too, so little hands don't have to aim
• No modes, no menus, no settings to accidentally change
• Works even when little fingers are already resting on the screen
• The big button never moves around, even when the phone is turned sideways
• A short pause between shots so your camera roll doesn't flood
• Flash, shutter click and a gentle buzz, so they know it worked

SIMPLE FOR PARENTS
• Photos save straight to your normal camera roll
• Prefer video? Switch to short video clips in the private parent settings
• Drag the little selfie window anywhere you like — it stays where you put it
• Nothing to sign up for, no accounts, no ads
• Your photos never leave your phone

PennyCam was made by a dad for his three-year-old, who loved taking photos but kept accidentally switching camera modes. Now there are no modes to switch.

Just point, tap, and see what they see.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-14

What's new in 1.2
• The parent menu now greets you each time the app starts, so it's easy to find — and you can turn that off inside it.
• The four-finger hold is far more forgiving: place your fingers one at a time, wobbles and screen protectors welcome.
• The selfie camera now uses its widest view, so short little arms fit the whole face in the frame.
• Photos save at full resolution with much smaller file sizes.
• Fixed the Reset selfie window button and stray photos taken while opening the parent menu.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-11

What's new in 1.1
• Video mode — one press records a short clip, both cameras at once, with sound. Turn it on in the parent settings.
• The volume buttons and the camera button now take photos too.
• Turn the phone sideways for a proper landscape shot — nothing on screen moves.
• A private parent settings panel (four fingers, held three seconds) for photo/video, clip length, and more.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-29
