Let's collect favorite pictures into the sphere! A sphere lens is processed into a style which looks at a photograph with a spherical lens. It makes the photograph that the glass ball has floated in the air, please try! The guide of a circle is displayed on the camera of a sphere lens. Let's take a photograph so that a part to emphasize may be settled into a circle! After photography or selection of a photograph becomes a preview screen which can change the size of sphere. Because it is a preview, a picture is displayed roughly a little, but a beautiful picture is saved at the time of preservation. Make a sphere into a favorite size with the button of + (Plus) and - (minus), and it is preservation with the button of a lower arrow. After preservation is made also as for contribution to a twitter as it is. (A twitter is restricted to iOS5 or more.) Wanna make more beautiful pictures ? If so, you should change the setting of "SphereLens" in a "setup" of iOS. Although saved in the size of a maximum of 1024x768 pixels, by high resolution, preservation can come to be performed and the photograph processed with the sphere lens can be saved more finely than usual, if a setup is changed. However, even when a setup is changed, size change is not performed in the picture below 1024x768 pixels. In order that processing of high resolution may consume a memory so much, it recommends ending the application which is operating in the background. Processing time is also borrowed in many from usual. ## Key features - Spherical lens photo processing - On-screen camera guide - Adjustable sphere size - High-resolution saving - Direct Twitter sharing - Customizable settings ## Recent user reviews (8 of 8) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/spherelens/id530098078/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Soratama is the original? *2020-01-06* I'm guessing Soratama is the original based on the esthetic of the two, but I may be mistaken. This is decent, Soratama is better but no app deserves to have a 1 star rating accompanied by the crude scrawling of a child. ### 1/5 — Review *2014-07-20* Terrible. Doesnt work ### 4/5 — Beautifully captivating! *2013-04-12* I love the clarity and design! My only wish to make this a five star app is that the picture in the background wouldn't blur out when you take the picture. Also I wish the background picture would not appear upside down. It would be nice if you had more editing options. But a great app overall! ### 5/5 — Wow *2013-03-19* This is an amazing game I can not believe how talented you are. Thanks a lot for creating this app :^> :~> ### 4/5 — Great app *2012-09-22* Perfect app very good for a free app ### 5/5 — Like *2012-07-03* It was great but marble cam is better ### 3/5 — Mmmm... *2012-06-02* Nice idea, bad performance; final result is low resolution on my photos, Waste of memory on my iphone. Deleting... ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-06-01* Great lens and quality. Love the idea. Great for instagram :) ## Frequently asked questions about SphereLens ### What is SphereLens?
