In addition, showing a still image from Photo Albums is possible. Wireless transfer to AirPlay supported devices such as Apple TV is supported, as well as connections via various cables and adapters. The following adapters/cables are supported: - AirPlay supported devices - Apple TV (2nd generation and later) - USB Type-C Cable (video output supported) - Lightning to VGA Adapter - Lightning Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) - Apple VGA Adapter - Apple Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) - Apple Composite AV Cable - Apple Component AV Cable This application has the functions listed below.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Contacts2XL at 4.5 against CameraVision's 3.9. Contacts2XL also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). CameraVision's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 39%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position 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
CameraVision costs $0.99 and Contacts2XL $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Contacts2XL holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Contacts2XL has 302 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of CameraVision's written reviews are positive against 39% of Contacts2XL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CameraVision ships an update every 10 months, Contacts2XL every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
