REC LOOP vs ManualCam

REC LOOP. Train within the limit. Repeat until it's your best. Keep only what matters. REC LOOP is a continuous recording app built around short countdowns and repeated takes. TRAINING — Build the ability to perform within a time limit Set a time limit and practice fitting your performance into it — speaking, performing, or playing an instrument within 10, 20, or 30 seconds. When one take ends, the next countdown starts immediately, giving you no time to stop and overthink. BEST TAKE — Keep trying until you get the one Record the same performance over and over. Every repeat is another chance to capture the moment when everything comes together. A SMARTER WAY TO MANAGE YOUR TAKES Your takes are kept temporarily while you record. When you're finished, review them all and save only the ones you want to keep. No clutter. No hundreds of unnecessary videos. FEATURES • Set the take length, rest time, and number of repeats, and the loop runs on its own • A 3·2·1 countdown before each take • Remaining seconds on screen, placed and sized however you like, and optionally written into the video • A start sound that never ends up in your video • Switch cameras and zoom, even while recording • A built-in metronome with adjustable BPM • Switch between 4K and HD • Turn on the flashlight while you shoot

ManualCam gives you full control of your iPhone camera, and teaches you how to use it. Set shutter speed, ISO, focus, white balance, exposure and zoom on smooth dials. Set only the shutter and ISO follows, or only ISO and the shutter follows. Values you set show in amber, so you always know what's manual, and the A button puts everything back on auto. Built like a camera The Darkroom design keeps the screen dark and quiet, so your eyes stay on the picture. Settings read in crisp mono type, like the markings on a lens. Dials tick as you turn them, with a firmer click on key stops. Controls are square, with thin outlines and nothing glassy in the way. Learn as you shoot A built-in guide explains every setting in plain words, with recipes you can load in one tap. A teacher line offers one tip for the scene in front of you, and practice challenges tick themselves when your shots show you've done them.
