Let's collect favorite pictures into the sphere! A sphere lens is processed into a style which looks at a photograph with a spherical lens. It makes the photograph that the glass ball has floated in the air, please try! The guide of a circle is displayed on the camera of a sphere lens. Let's take a photograph so that a part to emphasize may be settled into a circle! After photography or selection of a photograph becomes a preview screen which can change the size of sphere. Because it is a preview, a picture is displayed roughly a little, but a beautiful picture is saved at the time of preservation. Make a sphere into a favorite size with the button of + (Plus) and - (minus), and it is preservation with the button of a lower arrow. After preservation is made also as for contribution to a twitter as it is. (A twitter is restricted to iOS5 or more.) Wanna make more beautiful pictures ? If so, you should change the setting of "SphereLens" in a "setup" of iOS. Although saved in the size of a maximum of 1024x768 pixels, by high resolution, preservation can come to be performed and the photograph processed with the sphere lens can be saved more finely than usual, if a setup is changed. However, even when a setup is changed, size change is not performed in the picture below 1024x768 pixels. In order that processing of high resolution may consume a memory so much, it recommends ending the application which is operating in the background. Processing time is also borrowed in many from usual.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ReeHeld holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReeHeld has 448 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of SphereLens's written reviews are positive against 55% of ReeHeld's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SphereLens ships an update every 3 weeks, ReeHeld every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
