Turn your photos, videos and live camera into glitch art, moving 3D sculptures and visuals that react to sound. KinoGlitch is a creative playground for images in motion. Break a portrait into glowing particles, bend a scene through glass, stretch movement with slit-scan effects or build a look with layers, masks and text transformed by effects. Start with a preset, then shape it into something of your own. TURN IMAGES INTO 3D ART Transform photos and videos into sculptural meshes with 180+ grid and shape presets. Control depth, density, lighting and glow, then explore your scene from different angles. Add textures and backgrounds to develop your composition. CREATE WITH PARTICLES Rebuild your image with dots, rings, sparks, squares, diamonds or ASCII characters. Adjust particle size, depth and glow to move between delicate point clouds and bold digital textures. LET SOUND DRIVE THE LOOK Make meshes and particles respond to your video's audio or the microphone. In the Effects editor, let audio drive individual effect parameters, or draw custom curves to control how they change over time. EXPLORE 250+ EFFECTS AND OVERLAYS Experiment with RGB separation, pixel sorting, slit scan, glass refraction, mirrors, tunnels, waves, halftones and more. Combine distortion with 190+ color looks, including Neon, Cyber, Tokyo, Pale and Tint. BUILD YOUR EFFECTS IN LAYERS Choose when effects appear with a dedicated video timeline. Combine two effect tracks over your base look, apply shape masks and add text. Place words before an effect to distort them with the image, or keep them on top for a clean title. SEE IT THROUGH YOUR CAMERA Preview and record 3D mesh, particle and glitch effects as you shoot. Experiment with movement, light and sound in real time. SET YOUR ART IN MOTION Animate your 3D scene around different axes and record a full rotation. Save images and videos for music visuals, experimental films, digital artwork and social posts. KinoGlitch works on iPhone and iPad. Start creating for free with limited saves. KinoGlitch PRO unlocks unlimited saves, with subscription and one-time purchase options.

Verdict

The call

iVideoCamera Lite and KinoGlitch both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of KinoGlitch's written reviews are positive against 44% of iVideoCamera Lite's. KinoGlitch also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 86 months) and ratings volume (98 vs 6). iVideoCamera Lite's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iVideoCamera Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KinoGlitch has 98 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of iVideoCamera Lite's written reviews are positive against 85% of KinoGlitch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iVideoCamera Lite ships an update every 86 months, KinoGlitch every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
