Hey you! Yeah you! Shouldn't you be looking for Photon instead? Our newest app has been rebuilt from the ground app to support the next 10 years (or 20, who knows?) of mobile photography. Check it out at http://photon.cam “The Clarity filter is iPhone photography’s secret sauce—it adds pro-camera crispness to almost any shot.” — Kevin Sintumuang, The Wall Street Journal “If the iPhone’s standard camera is like a digital point-and-shoot, the Camera+ app is like a high-quality SLR lens.” — TIME: 50 Best iPhone Apps 2011 “improves on almost every aspect of the built-in camera app” — Charlie Sorrel, Wired Winner: Best Visual Design, Best Photography App — Best App Ever Awards It’s all about one thing... great photos! Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or someone who’s barely touched a camera, Camera+ will make you love taking photos. Touch Exposure & Focus Set exposure separately from focus. You can now easily control how light or dark your shots come out. Shooting Modes Use the Stabilizer to steady your iPhone and get the sharpest photos you can. There are countless uses for the Timer including taking the highest-quailty self-portraits. Capture all the action by using Burst to take rapid streams of shots. Digital Zoom Up to 6× zoom with advanced digital processing provides you with quality that simply blows away the competition. Front Flash How many times have you wanted to take a pic of yourself in a dark room but couldn’t. Well, now you can! Horizon Level Use the Horizon Level to eliminate taking crooked shots. Clarity Clarity is one of the biggest breakthroughs to happen to image processing in a long time. Clarity analyzes your photos and makes several intelligent adjustments that magically bring out details and breathe life into dull photos. With Clarity, you’ll stop throwing out bad photos… you’ll be amazed to see what it can do to photos that you’d typically consider unusable, like shots that came out too dark. Scene Modes Most modern digital cameras all have scene modes to help you get the best photos for your particular situation. With Camera+, you get to choose from several scene modes including Food, Sunset, Night, Portrait, Beach, and many more. Effects Professional photographer, Lisa Bettany created a slew of stunningly beautiful effects. Make your photos shimmer with “HDR”… get down and dirty with “Grunge”… fill your pics with emotion and despair with “So Emo”. And this is just the tip of the iceberg… there are dozens of 1-touch effects for you to experiment with. Lightbox All the pics you take in Camera+ go in the innovative Lightbox where you can quickly and easily skim through them and get rid of bad shots. You save only the photos you’re satisfied with so that your camera roll stays neat and clean. Sharing Whether you want to show your results to your friends and family or the whole world, Camera+ has got you covered. Proudly share your photos on Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. Or go the more personal route and email or message them from right within the app. iCloud Lightbox sync Automatically sync your Camera+ photos between all of your devices. Shoot all day on your iPhone… and then edit at night on your iPad. Crops If you didn’t line-up your shot perfectly when you took it, you can easily fix that with Camera+. And when you want to get a bit creative, we setup a bunch of popular crop sizes for you. With a single tap, you can make your pics square, 4×6, 8×10, and more. Borders With Camera+ you get several great border designs, from simple black and white borders to more gritty designs, you’ll be able to add wonderful finishing touches. Captions Have some fun with your photos by putting captions on them. It’s a great way to really personalize your favorite shots.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Camera+ I Pro Camera & Editor at Free against Camera+ Legacy's $4.99. Camera+ I Pro Camera & Editor also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (12K vs 2.3K). Camera+ Legacy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (62% vs 50%). On update cadence, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Camera+ I Pro Camera & Editor is free to download; Camera+ Legacy costs $4.99 up front. Camera+ Legacy sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Camera+ I Pro Camera & Editor sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Camera+ I Pro Camera & Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camera+ I Pro Camera & Editor has 12K ratings behind it against 2.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Camera+ Legacy's written reviews are positive against 50% of Camera+ I Pro Camera & Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
