Read full descriptionHide full description
FastShutter always opens to the shutter, and never into a menu, a mode, or a setting. It minimizes the time to your first photo. If the camera hardware is still warming up, tap the shutter anyway. FastShutter queues your tap and fires the instant the camera is ready. Use FastShutter often and the camera starts to feel consistently ready, so your attention stays on the moment instead of the interface. • Always opens to the shutter, never a mode or menu • Tap before the camera is ready and the shot still fires • Hold to record video and also save a photo • Upgrade to Premium for auto-capture on launch

Fast Shutter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
