Choose a film recipe and see its character in the live viewfinder. Shoot with the look already applied, without a separate editing step. MAKE LOOKS YOURS. Start with a preset or build your own. Shape color, grain, halation, and the response from shadows to highlights. Go deeper with individual emulsion layers, dye settings, and H&D response curves. In-app guides explain the controls as you explore. SCAN. LOAD. SHARE. Share your film recipes as QR codes or links. Scan a friend's code, add the recipe to your collection, and shoot with their look. FILM CHARACTER. RAW DETAIL. Capture and develop Apple ProRAW or RAW DNG on supported cameras. Still-photo capture reaches up to 48 MP where supported by your device and camera.

Vi Vante Camera Pro

Photography starts before the shutter. Vi Vante Camera Pro is a photographer-built, iPhone-only camera designed around a deliberate rhythm: compose, tap to focus, set exposure and depth, then make the photograph. Its full-frame-inspired focal and aperture controls put photographic decisions in your hands. COMPOSE WITH INTENTION Choose 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, or 77mm fields of view. Use exposure compensation, composition guides, highlight zebras, and face exposure tools to read the frame and place attention where you want it. Minimal Gauges is the default; the full dashboard remains your choice. SHAPE DEPTH Set rear-camera Portrait bokeh before pressing the shutter with a dedicated aperture dial. When live bokeh is unavailable in low light, optional on-device Bokeh Rescue can add background separation after capture when sufficient subject or depth evidence is available. Results depend on the photograph; very dark scenes may not provide usable evidence. SELF-PORTRAITS WITH INTENT In Selfie Mode, choose Off, Subtle, Soft, Lux, or Noct bokeh after capture. Catchlight offers Auto, On, and Off while shooting. Glow Eye Recovery, Shadow Fill, and Studio Light provide further control over eligible portraits. CAPTURE AND FINISH Choose DNG+JPG for a RAW file alongside a JPEG, or JPG for an efficient finished capture. Apply on-device Color and B&W filters, Eye Recovery, and Vignette. The original remains untouched. Sky Rescue appears only when the app detects a blown outdoor sky and a safe boundary. OPTIONAL AI PHOTO EDIT STUDIO Open AI Edit a Photo from the menu. Add pointed blue tags, write what you want changed, and send your notes together. Content-aware edit areas are prepared automatically; pixels outside those areas are restored from your original. Save a separate lossless PNG at the original upright pixel dimensions. AI editing requires Sign in with Apple, internet access, and permission to send the selected working photo and notes through our Cloudflare service to OpenAI. Opening the editor or selecting a photo does not upload it. AI results may not always match your intent. Each first result includes one optional same-image do-over with fresh notes while the result is available. Download promptly: cloud results are available for one hour. Each account receives one free edit that does not expire. Additional edits are optional, non-renewing in-app purchases: one edit for US $7.99 or ten for US $49.99. Local prices are shown before purchase. AI availability varies by region and supported image decoding. ORDER A FINISHED PRINT Select photos individually, approve an edge-to-edge crop for each, and build a private cart of up to ten prints. Physical prints use secure Stripe checkout, including Apple Pay when available, and Prodigi fulfillment. Only approved, metadata-free crops are uploaded. DOCUMENT THE MOMENT Optional Location records map position, camera direction, and calculated sun position, and supports Photo Map and Open in Maps. YOUR CHOICES Eligible new subscribers receive a 7-day free trial, then $19.99 per year, renewing automatically unless canceled. AI credit purchases are separate. The camera subscription does not require a Vi Vante account; AI credits do. Core camera and ordinary editing operate on device. No ads or cross-app tracking. Cloud processing is limited to features you explicitly choose. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Vi Vante Camera Pro at daily against Oqra Cam's every 10 days. Oqra Cam's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
