Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DSLR Camera Effect Auto Focus at 88% against Focos's 51%. DSLR Camera Effect Auto Focus also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). Focos's advantage is ratings volume (51K vs 24) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Focos holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focos has 51K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Focos'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Focos ships an update every 2 weeks, DSLR Camera Effect Auto Focus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
