About

REOVA

Features
Read full description

REOVA is a camera and photo editor built around two creative tools: live reference overlays and composition drawing guides. REFERENCE CAMERA Choose a reference photo and place the original image, an extracted subject, or a solid silhouette over the live camera preview. Move, scale, mirror, and adjust opacity until the pose and framing line up. DRAW YOUR COMPOSITION Sketch freely on the camera preview to mark subject placement, eye lines, movement, or framing. Use your drawing as a visual guide while composing the shot, then clear it when you are ready. AFTER CAPTURE Compare the reference and result side by side or as an overlay, then continue in the full photo editor. KEY FEATURES • Live reference image overlays • On-device subject extraction and silhouettes • Drawing guides directly on the camera preview • Adjustable position, scale, opacity, and mirroring • Multiple camera aspect ratios • Before-and-after comparison • Perspective correction and proportional cropping • Color adjustments, filters, effects, stickers, text, and drawing • High-resolution export Photo and subject processing happens on device. REOVA requires no account and includes no advertising tracking. Some advanced features require a REOVA+ auto-renewable subscription. Prices, billing periods, and eligible offers are shown in Apple's purchase confirmation. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled in App Store account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: REOVA at none against InstaFilter's shown. InstaFilter's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
