ReactShow

Read full description

React to any video or photo and walk away with a clip that's ready to post — no editing afterwards. ReactShow records you with the front camera while a video or photos from your library play on screen. When you stop, the final file is already put together: both perfectly in sync, in the right shape for vertical short-form video. PICK YOUR LAYOUT • Split screen: you on top, the video below (or the other way around), with the divider wherever you want it. • Picture-in-picture (PiP): your camera in a small window over the video — drag it to any corner. • Background cutout: the app removes your background in real time and places you over the video. The green screen effect, without a green screen. • Dual camera: front and back cameras recording at the same time, so you can react to what's in front of you. • Switch layouts while recording: the final video repeats every change you made. RECORD WITH CONFIDENCE • Floating teleprompter: your script scrolls right next to the camera, so you keep looking at your audience. • Script library: save your scripts and reuse them anytime. • Photo slides: line up a sequence of images and comment on each one. FINISH IN SECONDS • Automatic pause removal: the app finds the silences and trims the dead air. Nothing is deleted from the original recording, so you can always undo. • 9:16, 4:5 and 16:9 formats, in 1080p or up to 4K. • Save straight to Photos and post anywhere. MADE FOR Reaction videos, news commentary, game and trailer breakdowns, product reviews, lessons, meme reactions, testimonials — any content where your face is part of the story.

About

Dual Lens

Features
Read full description

Dual Lens turns on both iPhone cameras at the same time. The back camera captures what's in front of you, the front camera captures you, and both end up in one frame. TEMPLATES • A round bubble over the main picture — made for trips, concerts and vlogs. • Rounded square and a portrait 3:4 window. • Split screen: top and bottom, or side by side. • One tap swaps the cameras, so the small picture becomes the big one. MAKE THE WINDOW YOURS • Size and corner radius — from a sharp square to a perfect circle. • Nine preset positions: corners, edge centres and the middle. • Or drag the window anywhere right on the preview. It snaps to a preset when you let go nearby. • A border in any width and colour. • Save your own templates and switch between them with one tap. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT FROM A CAMERA • Tap to focus and set exposure — on whichever camera you tapped. • Swipe up or down after a tap to brighten or darken the shot. • Touch and hold for AE/AF Lock. • Pinch to zoom or use the lens buttons: 0.5Ɨ, 1Ɨ, 2Ɨ and telephoto where available. • Flash, torch for video, 3 and 10 second timer, grid. • 3:4, 9:16 and 1:1 frames. • White balance: auto or daylight, cloudy, tungsten and fluorescent presets. • Take pictures with the volume buttons or Camera Control. TELEPROMPTER • Keep your scripts in a built-in library: write, paste, edit. • While you record, the text scrolls right under the front camera, so you look almost straight into the lens. • Change speed and text size on the fly. The teleprompter never appears in the video. YOUR LOGO ON EVERY VIDEO • Add a logo from Photos or Files; a transparent PNG stays transparent. • Nine preset positions or drag it anywhere, then set its size and opacity. • Turn it on once and it appears on every video, and on photos too if you like. PHOTO AND VIDEO • HEIF or JPEG photos at full camera resolution. • HEVC or H.264 video with sound. • What you capture matches what you saw on screen. • Optionally keep both original shots as well. PRIVACY Dual Lens collects no data at all: no accounts, no analytics, no ads. Your captures go only to your Photos library. Requires an iPhone with iOS 26 or later.
