Zerocam 2.0: Camera for Real Photos. Zero Processing. Zero Filters. Most phone cameras today rely on aggressive computational processing that can over-sharpen images and create a flat, artificial look. Zerocam 2.0 strips away the digital makeup. We built a clean, high-quality image pipeline to capture life as you see it. No fake HDR, no “beauty” filters, and zero over-processing. Why Zerocam? While most camera apps add more controls and processing tricks, Zerocam removes distractions and focuses on the soul of photography: - A natural, distortion-free look. Say goodbye to strange halos around buildings and skin that looks like plastic. - Pure simplicity. No settings to tweak. No menus to get lost in. Open the app and shoot. - Full hardware potential. Get the most out of your iPhone camera system. What’s New in 2.0? - Native Lens Support. Easily switch between Wide, Ultra Wide, and Telephoto on supported iPhone models. - Zero Looks (Natural Color Grades). Subtle, film-inspired color profiles applied in real time. These are not heavy filters, but carefully crafted professional color grades, updated monthly. - Multi-Exposure Mode. Create artistic shots by instantly merging two frames into one. - iPhone-Optimized Interface (Beta). A redesigned UI that feels native, fast, and intuitive across supported iPhone sizes. - Pro-Grade RAW & JPG. A rebuilt image pipeline delivers cleaner tones and more reliable RAW files, giving you greater flexibility in post-production. Built for Intentional Photography Zerocam is designed for photographers who want to stay present, not buried in settings. It’s fast, intentional, and built to treat your phone like a real pocket camera.

Thank you so much for your feedback 💛 ### 5/5 — Easy for files to edit *2026-06-15* This makes taking pictures and getting files that have a wide editing range super easy if you like editing, this is one of the easiest workflows on a mobile phone **Developer response:** Hey, thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it! You can now shoot in RAW Max and 48 MP with supported lenses. Just update to version 4.3.1 😉 ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-05-25, version 4.9.7* Is there any way to get past the splash screen with the logo on iPhone 17? I’m on the latest iOS version and all I can see is zerocam logo at the startup after animation completes. ### 1/5 — Amazing photo colours, but the app doesn't work *2026-05-18* I love that the app removes iphone's postprocessing. The photos are so good with Zerocam. But the app is terrible and doesn't work. I used to use it on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, it didn't save photos half of the time. It blinked when it did the photo, and then you go to the gallery and the photo is not there. Now I have iPhone 17 Air running the latest OS. I saw there was an app update, so I gave it a chance and paid for the subscription again. Sadly, the app still doesn't work. You open it via s shorcut, take a photo. It shows an ugly label “Saving, keep open". Ok. I wait. And even after it sometimes the photo doesn't appear in the gallery. On top of that when I launch the app sometimes it shows the loading screen with the logo for 3, 5, 7 seconds and nothing happens, the app doesn't load. I give up and open the regular camera app. I'm cancelling my subscription again. This is embarrassing to try to use a camera app that you can't rely on to open and can't rely on to save the picture after you've made the shot. **Developer response:** Good news! We have fixed that issue in the latest version of Zerocam (5.0.0), we have also brought back the lifetime purchase, because everybody was asking for it :-) Please, consider leaving us a 5-star review, if you think we deserve it. We're a small indie team of 2 people and the App Store ratings are so important for us 💛 ### 1/5 — Update *2026-05-14, version 4.9.6* We need new update and more setting to control our zero processing photos ### 3/5 — Great no-nonsense camera app but one flaw! *2026-05-13, version 4.9.6* Please add the ability to enable “mirror” selfie camera photos! I absolutely despise the way “regular” selfie camera photos appear! I always turn on “mirror” selfie photos mode on even the stock iOS camera app. It’s a huge dealbreaker that this doesn’t have “mirror” selfie photos option. It’s a pita to have to manually go into the photos app and edit it and flip the selfie image horizontally. I really enjoy the rest of this app though! It’s simple, and straight to the point. The zero cam mode is on point too! Looks excellent without all that extra processing. ### 4/5 — Good, but some issues with smaller screens *2026-05-03* Overall I really like the photos zerocam takes; they look solid without being over edited. However, there is one issue for me. The controls are a bit poorly laid out/designed for my iPhone SE. the capture button and the buttons to flip the camera/change zoom overlap significantly. It’s usable but it’s a bit of an inconvenience, especially because it’s pretty easy to misclick and switch the camera instead capturing and vise versa. This could be remedied with smaller buttons for both the capture and lens buttons. But overall, the app is pretty solid **Developer response:** Hi Alexx, thanks so much for the kind words and for taking the time to point this out! Great news — we've fixed it! The UI has been reworked so the capture button and the lens/flip controls no longer overlap, and it should look and feel much better on smaller devices like the iPhone SE now. No more accidental camera flips mid-shot. We're a small indie team of just two people (one designer, one developer), so feedback like yours genuinely helps us prioritize what to improve next — it's the best way for us to know what's actually getting in the way of people enjoying the app. We really appreciate you flagging this instead of just walking away. If the new update feels better on your SE, we'd be incredibly grateful if you'd consider bumping your review up to 5 stars — it makes a huge difference for a tiny team like ours and helps more photographers discover Zerocam. Happy shooting! — The Zerocam team ### 1/5 — Great concept ruined by greed *2026-04-26* This app takes beautifully natural, unprocessed photos, but the mandatory subscription is a complete dealbreaker. Expecting users to rent a camera app forever instead of offering a straightforward purchase is incredibly greedy. Great idea, ruined by the pricing. The devs are probably going to respond with “we’re a small indie developer team”. Ok well you’re part of the problem. Small team or not, you are just feeding the subscription fatigue that is exhausting your users and ruining good software. **Developer response:** Good news! In the latest version of Zerocam (5.0.0), we have brought back the lifetime purchase, because everybody was asking for it :-) Please, consider leaving us a 5-star review, if you think we deserve it. We're a small indie team of 2 people and the App Store ratings are so important for us 💛 ### 5/5 — Improvement suggestions *2026-04-20* UPDATE April 2026 - very happy with the changes made in version 4.9, which includes most of my suggestions above. Thanks developers! Original review - I would love for you to consider 1) a front-facing camera option, 2) a faster way to switch lenses in-app, and 3) a visual indicator when rotating device to landscape (e.g. rotate the text on buttons). Also, on iOS 26 my photos appear to be incorrectly rotated in the Photos app? Tapping on them to preview rotates them back, but this feels like a bug. Otherwise I love the app and the photos that it produces. Thanks! **Developer response:** THANK YOU 💛 ## Frequently asked questions about zerocam ### What does Zerocam do?
