Snapture

This now my new default camera app. If I am using my phone to take a picture I’m gonna use Snapture and not the camera app that came on the iPhone. This camera app is amazing. Each feature needs little or no explanation so read below how $1.99 can give you a whole new camera:

  • Tap anywhere to take a picture – my favorite and most useful feature
  • Picture in Picture view – take a picture and a thumbnail of the most recent picture shows up in the corner. Touch and hold the picture and it becomes full screen so you can see if you like it. If you don’t like it slide the thumbnail to the other side of the screen and you’ll have an option to delete it.
  • 5x multi-touch digital zoom
  • Burst mode – take up to three images in rapid succession
  • Touch to focus on 3GS
  • Upload to Facebook and Twitter right in app
  • Color filters
  • Stability control
  • Level
  • Auto/Manual Save
  • Take pictures in multiple image sizes

It does all of those features well. As usual, nothing is 100% fantastic. The app needs better camera roll integration. Snapture limits you to sending one image at a time right now. For example, I just took some pictures of toys I got the nieces and nephews. I was gonna send those pictures off for approval from the parents. Instead of being able to use Snapture’s built-in sharing feature I had to close out of the app and go to my camera roll in the iPhone Photos app so I could select all three to send. I hope that Snapture integrates a multiple attachment option and a full access to the camera roll.

Lastly, video camera. The video camera is a nice addition to the iPhone 3GS and I would love to be able to use the Snapture services on the video camera. With that said, I can see this app only getting better. So I think you should go out and get it now before the price starts to go up as more updates come through. iTunes Link
