Verdict
Phocus and DSLR Camera Effect Auto Focus both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of DSLR Camera Effect Auto Focus's written reviews are positive against 50% of Phocus's. DSLR Camera Effect Auto Focus also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Phocus's advantage is ratings volume (6.8K vs 24) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Phocus holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4.

Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Phocus's written reviews are positive against 88% of DSLR Camera Effect Auto Focus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Phocus ships an update every 2 weeks, DSLR Camera Effect Auto Focus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
