About

ARCH Cam

Features
Read full description

ARCH Cam is a spatial film camera. Every photo is shot on film: a cinematic film stock and fine grain are baked in the moment you press the shutter. And your shots don't disappear into a grid. They float around you in a 3D arch you can spin, pinch and walk through. - Five film stocks: Standard 500, Chrome 250, Gold 400, Cool 300, Monochrome 100. - Hold the viewfinder to meter: drag up and down for exposure, left to soften the film. - Develop: give photos already in your library the same film look. - Video, graded on the same stocks. - Arches: a spatial room for every trip, month or place. - Formations: sphere, color, helix, cube, cylinder, rings, waves. - Lock-screen and Control Center button straight into the camera. Free: a 24-exposure roll every week. ARCH Cam Pro: unlimited film, yearly or monthly with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

SpeedReader: Juice turns long text into focused one-word reading sessions. Paste text, import a public URL, open an article in the built-in browser, scan a screenshot with on-device OCR, or bring in a PDF, then read at your chosen pace with a fixed visual anchor. The reader is built for quick, repeatable reading sprints: - One-word-at-a-time display with adjustable words per minute - Fixed eye anchor and optional bold/color focus - Adaptive pauses for punctuation and longer words - Built-in browser and favorite sources - Local library, reading stats, and saved profiles - Image OCR and PDF text import Daily reading allowances are clear and visible in Settings. Everyone gets 1,000 words per day free, with optional paid tiers for higher daily limits. SpeedReader processes imported text locally where possible. URL import fetches the public page you choose; the app does not bypass paywalls or send article text to a SpeedReader backend.

Verdict

The call

ARCH Cam and Speed Reader are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
