With more than a dozen effects to experiment with, Time Warp takes your live video and slices and dices it, then recombines it into a new video with a little bit from here, a little from there, a little from now, and a little from before. Time and space get a little squishy for some creative, weird, sometimes unpredictable effects. As you experiment, snap photos and take videos to share with your friends. We were Time Warping long before Tik Tok made it famous, and we've got a ton of different twists on time-based video tweaking. Of course, we've got the "blue line" effect (though ours is gold, lol), but we've got so much more than that. A few things to try: - Hold the camera still while you take a selfie... contort your face and watch as it melts in the Time Warp fun-house mirror. - Place the camera on a table, so the background stands still, then dance around a little for the camera. It. Is. Weird. - Pinch, swipe, and twiddle all the controls in settings. It'll glitch like mad... but you know, in a good way! After you've created some cool video or photos, share it to Instagram, using the hashtag #madewithtimewarp and tag us! We want to see the weird stuff you create!

ShadowClone
Read full descriptionHide full description
This camera can capture afterimages of people with AI. It is possible to capture images as if a ninja had transformed into a shadow. Since AI is used to determine the person, no afterimages will be left on objects or animals other than the person. Afterimages can be added to videos that have already been shot, or afterimages can be added in real time. You can also choose to register the video with an afterimage in the photo library.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ShadowClone at Free against Time Warp's $1.99. Time Warp's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 45 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
