## What is TapShot?

ONE FINGER ZOOM FOR SPORTS
Drag one finger up or down to zoom in and out. Immediately tap your finger wherever it is to capture a photo. Perfect for volleyball, basketball, and all your kid's sporting events. Faster and easier to use than the standard pinch gesture. If your iPhone is in the horizontal orientation you can even drag up and down at the side of the screen so your finger doesn’t block the subjects you are taking photos of.


NEW: PAUSE VIDEO RECORDING
Record the game without the timeouts and stoppages. Less stitching videos together and editing. 


JUST TAP TO SHOOT
Tap anywhere on the image preview to take a photo or start/stop video recording while in video mode. No tiny shutter button. This is so much easier for taking selfies while your arms and hands are fully extended — just focus on framing the shot and tap away.


48 MP APPLE ProRAW AND HEIF
For iPhones that support it.


CUSTOM FOCUS POINTS
Long press for half a second where you would like to set the focus point while maintaining exposure settings.


CUSTOM ISO, SHUTTER SPEED, WHITE BALANCE & EXPOSURE BIAS ADJUSTMENTS
ToolPod has Auto and Manual modes for toggling between fully automatic photo capture and making manual adjustments to ISO, Shutter Speed and White Balance.


ADD YOUR LOGO WHILE TAKING PHOTOS
Import your brand or school sports team logo and have it placed on your photos while taking them! No need to use another app afterwards. Choose from 9 locations and set the size and space from the edges. Supports alpha transparency when importing a PNG from iCloud Files.


DEPTH CAPTURE MODE
On capable iPhones and iPads, use Depth mode to capture and embed depth data to your selfies and rear camera photos. Open and edit with the native Photos app to apply lighting effects and adjust depth of field settings.


4x3 OR 16x9 PHOTO ASPECT RATIOS
Traditional 4x3 size or wider 16x9, ideal for social media and video projects.


SNAP TO OPTICAL ZOOM POSITIONS
Drag with two fingers up or down to snap to the available optical zoom positions of your iPhone. This ensures you are only shooting at the optical zoom positions of your iPhone for best quality.


CLEAN VIEW MODE
Tap with 2 fingers to hide UI controls for an unobstructed image preview. Tap again with 2 fingers to restore them.


PERSONAL PHOTO BOOTH WITH AUTOSHOTS
Automated selfie sets. Because no one takes just one selfie — TapShot can automatically take a set of several photos, seconds apart. It means less physical coordination and you can keep your eyes on the screen to frame the perfect poses. If you just need one photo, there is a traditional simple countdown timer as well. 


BEAUTIFUL COLOR THEMES
Choose from 20 different color themes to make your photo and video capturing experience match the color of your iPhone or case.


EASY CAMERA SWITCHER
The camera switcher always tells you which camera you are using, the current zoom factor, and if you’re at the optical zoom factor for that camera to use the best quality possible. 


VIDEO RECORDING PRESETS
We made it easy to get the right level of quality versus file size. You don’t kneed to know complex video and photo terminology. And you don't need to leave the app to change any settings. 4K, 60FPS, HDR – if your device supports it you can use it in TapShot.


COMPLETE PRIVACY
No usernames, passwords or logins. We don’t collect a single thing about you or how you use the app. Nothing whatsoever is transmitted from your device to us. Your photos are saved directly to your iPhone’s camera roll so you can use the Photos app to manage and share.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.7.1 — 2026-04-27

• New! Added the ability to pause video recordings. Tap to start video, tap to pause and then tap again to resume recording. Double tap to STOP the recording. 

• Added helpers for first time launch to explain features.

• Smoother zooms. Small improvement in smoothness, but there is still minor latency when physical cameras are switching. 

• Updated file format + capture size preview label: Now will also tell you what megapixel size your capture will be before you take a photo. In video mode this label will display your video capture preset. 

• Fixed a bug where switching to Video mode might leave the capture size in 4x3 aspect ratio. 

• Fixed an issue when in Manual Photo mode your custom ISO, Shutter Speed and Color Temperature settings wouldn't be applied when selecting a different physical camera, going from 1.0x to 2.0x etc. Now when changing these settings they will persist across camera selections IF the camera can support the same settings. For example, if an ISO setting is higher than possible it will use the highest possible for that camera.
