Slow Shutter Cam puts an end to mere snapshots and gives you some of the most powerful features of a DSLR camera. All this, in a package that fits in your pocket. Slow Shutter Cam offers three capture modes to capture unique images: MOTION BLUR: Equivalent to the shutter priority mode on a DSLR, the Motion Blur mode is perfect for creating ghost images, waterfall effects or suggesting movement in your photographs by adding a blur. LIGHT TRAIL: The Light Trail mode allows you to 'paint' with light, show car light trails and fireworks or capture any other moving light in a unique way. Unlike shooting with a DSLR and being tied to specific rigid settings to obtain good results, the Light Trail mode takes care of the essentials, letting your creativity soar! LOW LIGHT: In low light conditions, this capture mode allows the camera to accumulate every photon of light hitting the sensor. The longer the shutter speed, the more light it will accumulate. You can even fine-tune the result using the exposure compensation slider to achieve the exact effect you want! Highlights: • Unlimited Shutter Speed and manual ISO • Option to resume capture and create multiple exposure photos • Real time live preview - See the result in real time • Innovative 'Freeze' and ‘Blur Strength’ controls • Tap to adjust focus/exposure • Time-lapse Intervalometer • Apple Watch support and handy Self-Timer • Full resolution support on every devices • Camera Control support (iPhone 16) With Slow Shutter Cam on your iPhone you get the features of a DSLR camera with the convenience of a device that you can drop in your pocket and take with you wherever you go.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Membit at Free against Slow Shutter Cam's $2.99. Membit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Slow Shutter Cam's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 17) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Slow Shutter Cam holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slow Shutter Cam has 2.8K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Slow Shutter Cam's written reviews are positive against 100% of Membit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Slow Shutter Cam ships an update every 2 weeks, Membit every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
