PennyCam

Read full description

PennyCam is a camera made for little hands. Point it at anything and tap — anywhere on the screen. Both cameras fire at once, so every photo captures what your child is pointing at AND their face in that moment, together in one shot. BUILT FOR TODDLERS • One giant shutter button to teach kids to aim for a button — but a tap anywhere on the screen works too • The volume buttons and the camera button take a photo too, so little hands don't have to aim • No modes, no menus, no settings to accidentally change • Works even when little fingers are already resting on the screen • The big button never moves around, even when the phone is turned sideways • A short pause between shots so your camera roll doesn't flood • Flash, shutter click and a gentle buzz, so they know it worked SIMPLE FOR PARENTS • Photos save straight to your normal camera roll • Prefer video? Switch to short video clips in the private parent settings • Drag the little selfie window anywhere you like — it stays where you put it • Nothing to sign up for, no accounts, no ads • Your photos never leave your phone PennyCam was made by a dad for his three-year-old, who loved taking photos but kept accidentally switching camera modes. Now there are no modes to switch. Just point, tap, and see what they see.
