Lit Cam 2.0 coming soon — fully rebuilt, new modes, free for current users! Turn your device into a light-powered camera, with full control of both the screen and the rear flash. Illuminate subjects at night, zoom-in for sharp macro shots and add a natural glow when taking selfies. Lit Cam is the only app that lets you take photos in complete darkness! Light is everything in photography. Flash in other camera apps can be unpredictable and overpower the photo. We transform it into a continuous configurable light, which makes it vastly more useful. Add the perfect amount to highlight your subject and strike the perfect foreground to background balance. Combine light with zoom to improve photo sharpness and capture hard to see details, which is great for close-ups. The app also works as a photo light. Use it to fill shadows and be creative when using another device as the camera. Adding light is key when taking photos at night or in low light situations. Portable photo lighting solutions can cost over $100. Lit Cam provides similar functionality with the devices you already have. Transform that extra phone or tablet into a photo light! Take better photos at night and add some pop to macros / close-ups. Now go light some shots! Features * Use the display or the flash as the light source * Take photos with both front and rear cameras * Flip sides seamlessly, even with the camera on * Supports all built-in lenses, including the ultra-wide on iPhone 11 * Smooth zoom controls for the rear camera * Magnify and illuminate dark objects, great for macro photography * Manual light power control, from 10% to full-power * When using the screen, pick the color temperature for the best look * Auto-select the perfect screen color when using the front camera * View real-time camera shutter speed and ISO sensitivity * Compare field-of-view to DSLR/Mirrorless camera lens with full-frame equivalent focal lengths * Tap to set automatic focus and exposure * Multiple settings to customize app launch * Optional rules of third grid for great composition * Simple, fast, and focused - no bloat * Minimal interface for one-handed use and optimized for all orientations * Instantly turns on when you open the app * Keeps the screen from unexpectedly sleeping * Thoughtfully dims the screen when using flash * Works on iOS devices of all sizes - turn those old phones/tablets into portable lights! Disclaimer: Continued use of the screen or flash may decrease battery life, but you already knew that.

Erasa is the honest object eraser. Brush over what you want gone — power lines, date stamps, watermarks, photobombers — and Erasa fills it in, right on your phone. • ON YOUR DEVICE. Every photo is processed right on your iPhone using on-device machine learning. Your photos are never uploaded — the erasing even works in airplane mode. • NEVER RESIZED, NO WATERMARK. Your photo is never resized — edits save at the original resolution. No "pay to unlock your photo," no stamp across your image. • FREE — HONESTLY. Erase as much as you want for free, supported by a single banner ad. No subscription, no free-trial trap, no surprise paywall after you edit. Prefer no ads at all? A one-time $7.99 "Go ad-free" removes them for good — yours forever, no subscription. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a photo. 2. Brush or lasso over the thing you want to remove — cover the whole object, a little past its edges. 3. Tap Erase. Compare before/after, undo if you like, then save. Tip: for big objects, erase in a few smaller passes for the cleanest result. Erasa keeps it simple and fair: powerful on-device erasing, your photos stay yours, and a price model that respects you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Erasa at Free against Lit Cam's $1.99. Erasa also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Lit Cam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
