Yesterlens vs Sunory

Stand where an old photo was taken and take it again, years later. Yesterlens lays the old photo over your camera so you can line up today's view exactly: a film still at its real location, a childhood photo by the same door, an old postcard of your street. When the two views match, it takes the new photo for you. LINE IT UP • Three ways to see the old photo over the camera: a see-through ghost, bright outlines, or a curtain you drag across. • Hints tell you which way to turn the camera, when to step closer or back, and when to level the phone, until it says "Lined up". • Hands-free shutter: it shoots once the views match and the phone holds still. Prefer the button? It waits for the jolt of your tap to settle, so the shot stays sharp. • Landscape film stills? Turn the phone sideways and the overlay turns with it. THE SAME FRAME • The new photo is cut to the old one's frame and turned the same way, so the pair matches exactly. • Film stills with black bars are trimmed on their own; crop or rotate the old photo by hand if you need to. • Lenses from 0.5× to telephoto on iPhones that have them, pinch to zoom, and a 3 or 10 second timer. THEN AND NOW • Compare the two with a curtain. • Save a collage, one above the other or side by side, with your own captions like "1987" and "2026". FIND THE PLACE • If the old photo knows where it was taken, Yesterlens shows it on the map with walking directions; otherwise pin it yourself. • Near the place, a compass tells you which way the old camera faced, when the old photo recorded it. • New photos carry where they were taken (you can turn this off), and a map shows all your places: the ones still to retake and the ones done.
