Scoop Camera Pro
Read full descriptionHide full description
Scoop Camera Pro is the camera that does not make you wait. The moment you open the app, video and audio are already recording. So the perfect shot of your cat, your baby, or the dog catching a frisbee cannot outrun your shutter finger. Built for the moments that do not pose for you: Cats stretching, leaping, blinking, or doing whatever cats do Babies first smile, first crawl, first wobbly steps Pets running, jumping, mid-zoomies Kids in motion: sports, scooters, playground time Sleeping animals that wake the second you reach for your phone Anything you have ever missed because you took half a second too long How it works: Open Scoop Camera Pro. Recording is already on. Point at whatever you want to capture. Press the big red button to stop. The video saves to your Photos library, and the app asks: save a still from this clip too? If yes, scrub through the timeline and pick the exact moment, eyes open, smile peaking, paws off the ground. It saves as a regular photo. Why it is better than a normal shutter: Press the shutter on a normal camera and you get one image. With Scoop Camera Pro, every shutter press is a 30 frames per second video. You pick the keeper afterwards, when there is no pressure. Eyes closed? Pick the next frame. Cat blinked? Pick a different one. The moment is already on disk. Privacy and pricing: Everything stays on your device. The video saves to your Photos library, and only the stills you choose to save are written to Photos. There is no account, no upload, no cloud, no analytics, no ads. One time purchase. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. Works on iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Localized in 12 languages.

A camera that reproduces risograph printing โ multi-plate color separation, halftone dot screens, and intentional plate misregistration, rendered live in your viewfinder. Or bring in any photo from your library and print it the same way. SEVEN REAL PRINT PROCESSES * Riso Duotone โ color-separated into pink + cobalt plates, overprinted * Flat Screenprint โ halftone-free spot color * Offset Newsprint โ a genuine CMY rosette, vintage press texture * Photocopy โ Xerox-style decay and scan noise * Engraving โ single-plate crosshatch * Mimeograph โ blocky ink blotches * Spot Color Halftone โ the most saturated color survives a black dot screen Each one is a genuinely different rendering pipeline โ not one filter with seven color presets. EVERY VALUE IS A SLIDER Pick a catalog spot ink or mix your own with hue, saturation, and brightness โ plus paper stock and paper grain, screen angle, dot width, halftone dots or riso grain, and misregistration strength. Nothing is hardcoded to a preset. Dial in your own look. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU PRINT Riso Duotone and every single-plate process render in full in the viewfinder โ every ink plate and the intentional misregistration, exactly as saved. Offset Newsprint previews one CMY plate live for speed and composites all three at the shutter. YOUR PHOTOS, REPRINTED Tap the photo button next to the shutter to open any photo from your library in the same print processes and sliders. A before/after split shows exactly what changed, and your original is never touched โ the print is saved as a new photo. TRY EVERYTHING FREE Preview and adjust all seven print processes at no cost. Saving with Photocopy is free; Full Unlock is a single one-time purchase ($5.99, not a subscription) that lets you save with the other six: Riso Duotone, Flat Screenprint, Offset Newsprint, Engraving, Mimeograph, and Spot Color Halftone. EVERYTHING ELSE YOU'D EXPECT * HEIC capture, saved straight to a dedicated "Chroia" album in your Photos library โ no separate account, no cloud * The mechanism you shot with is written into every photo's own EXIF * In English, Japanese and Korean No ads. No tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scoop Camera Pro at none against Chroia's 1. Chroia's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
