EveryProCam
Read full descriptionHide full description
EveryProCam is a camera for people who want to make the call. The screen is as simple as any camera's; underneath there is real manual control, RAW and a Lab to edit your photos without ever touching the original. MANUAL CONTROL - Four modes: auto, shutter priority, ISO priority and manual. A photo at 1/250 comes out at 1/250. - Metering, exposure compensation, exposure and focus lock. - Autofocus or manual focus, with in-focus edges highlighted and a magnifier. - White balance in auto, in kelvin and tint, with eight presets, a grey card and an eyedropper. - Two dials always above the shutter button, picked by you. LENSES AND FORMATS - Every rear lens, the 28 and 35 mm crops, macro, the front camera. - Sensor RAW (DNG) and ProRAW, also paired with a JPEG or a HEIF, at 12 or 48 MP where your iPhone has them. - HEIF, JPEG, 8-bit and 16-bit TIFF; HDR photos. - Six framing formats, from square to 65:24 panoramic. LIVE ANALYSIS Histogram, waveform, zebras on blown highlights, in-focus edges, composition grids and a level, all on the viewfinder without slowing it down. SHOOTING - Burst, bracketing, self-timer, intervalometer, flash and torch. - Long exposure up to 30 seconds: silky water, light trails and night, with the photo building up on the viewfinder. - Thirteen shooting profiles (portrait, landscape, night, moon, architecture, food and more) plus your own. - Seven Looks for the colour of the photo, the same in the viewfinder and in the photo. - Watermark and date stamp, if you want them. THE LAB Open it from the photos you took and from the rest of your library too. Every edit is a recipe stored next to the photo in Photos: you can reopen it, change it, undo it, and it travels with iCloud Photos. "Revert" in Photos brings the photo back as it was. - From the RAW negative: three stops of exposure either way, white balance redone by the decoder, blown highlights that come back. - Framing, rotation, perspective, crop to a format. - Tone with a histogram, before and after with a slider. - Background blur on portraits with depth. - Export to HEIF, JPEG, TIFF or the DNG as it is, with the size, quality and metadata you choose. - RAW files from other cameras, opened from Files or Photos or shared from another app, AirDrop included. YOUR PHOTOS An EveryProCam album in Photos, a gallery with filters for RAW and favourites, bursts in stacks. If the app closes while a photo is saving, the photo reaches Photos on its own when you reopen it. WITH IPHONE The Camera Control where there is one, the Action button, Control Center, the Lock Screen, widgets, Siri and Shortcuts. TEN LESSONS If you are starting out: ten lessons, from the interface to manual shooting, each with an exercise in the real viewfinder. The app notices on its own when you have done it. PRIVACY No account, no ads, no network. Your photos stay on your iPhone and in Photos. Location in photos is off by default. iPhone only.
Pure Camera

Pure Camera brings authentic true photography to your iPhone. Images are rendered directly from the iPhone’s raw sensor data through a simulated film process rather than applying a filter to a preprocessed photograph. Most camera applications begin with a processed image and apply color grading. Pure Camera utilizes raw sensor data without multi-frame fusion, Smart HDR, sharpening, noise reduction, or upscaling. The result is a photograph developed through an authentic film emulation—incorporating gamma, color separation, interlayer effects, and grain—using traditional darkroom characteristics rather than post-processing adjustments. This unique approach produces authentic, unprocessed images.. Nine Film Stocks Options range from neutral, accurate profiles to saturated slide film, faded prints, motion-picture stock, and high-contrast black-and-white. Each profile is derived from genuine film properties rather than visual inspiration. Manual Control Users have full control over ISO, shutter speed, white balance, exposure compensation, and aspect ratio. Preferred settings may be saved to named banks and selected with a single tap, or the application may be left to manage exposure automatically. Grain as a Variable Grain is a selectable parameter rather than a fixed attribute. Settings include off, weak, normal, and strong; intensity scales realistically with exposure—subtle at low speeds and more pronounced at higher speeds. Reliable Viewfinder The preview is calibrated to match the final developed image, ensuring accurate framing rather than a generic live-view approximation. Pure Camera is designed for photographers who prefer traditional camera behavior: exposure, focus, and composition are user-defined, while the film handles the remainder authentically. Premium The application is fully functional but limited to the primary lens. Access to additional lenses is available via a one-time in-app purchase with family sharing enabled.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EveryProCam at none against Pure Camera's 1. EveryProCam also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
