Designed by legally blind founder Steve Johnson, BlackLens uses face detection, spoken feedback, haptics, high-contrast visuals, and automatic capture to help you frame photos confidently — whether you are using VoiceOver, shooting outdoors in bright sunlight, wearing sunglasses, doing sport, or taking a higher-quality selfie with the rear camera. ◆ AutoCapture BlackLens can automatically take a photo when faces are detected, framed, and steady. No tiny shutter button. No guessing. Just hold the camera and let the app guide the shot. ◆ Headcount Taking a group photo? Turn on Headcount, choose how many faces you expect, and BlackLens helps make sure everyone is in frame before capture. ◆ Missile Lock When AutoCapture is off, Missile Lock gives you an audio lock-on cue. A tracking tone helps you frame the shot, then a lock tone tells you when you are ready to tap or press volume to capture. ◆ Haptic Framing Feel what the camera sees. • Gentle vibration means a face is near the edge • Stronger feedback means someone may be cut off • No vibration means the framing is improving This makes it easier to angle the phone without needing to inspect the screen. ◆ Mask Mode Mask Mode turns the screen into a bold, high-contrast framing surface. It is useful for low vision, bright sunlight, rear-camera selfies, and situations where the display is hard to see. Faces appear as clear visual targets: • Green means face detected • Red means locked and ready ◆ VoiceOver-Friendly Controls When VoiceOver is active, BlackLens provides dedicated accessible controls for key actions like switching cameras and toggling Mask Mode. Headcount can be adjusted with a simple VoiceOver swipe up or down. ◆ Simple Gestures • Tap anywhere to capture manually • Swipe up or down to switch cameras • Swipe left or right to toggle Mask Mode • Press a volume button to capture ◆ Better Rear-Camera Selfies Use the higher-quality rear camera with confidence. BlackLens gives spoken, haptic, and visual feedback so you can frame yourself even when you cannot see the display. ◆ Private and Simple No accounts. No subscriptions. No tracking. Just a focused camera tool designed to help more people take better photos. ## Black Lens Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/52/c6/90/52c690d5-bf91-b473-148c-bed7137209a9/App_Store_screenshots.001.jpeg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/7e/31/f1/7e31f16b-430d-0839-6e9a-a138c1df526f/App_Store_screenshots.002.jpeg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/f3/b6/73/f3b6733e-b16c-5d30-7124-43efa284e33b/App_Store_screenshots.003.jpeg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/d4/e0/f2/d4e0f256-4b1e-56df-a44c-d5759c1ce6bb/App_Store_screenshots.004.jpeg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/53/1f/3e/531f3e8f-b131-10ae-a22b-7f3420773ac7/App_Store_screenshots.005.jpeg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/b3/8d/c2/b38dc2cd-86b4-8d87-b4a8-e0263cf3bd2e/App_Store_screenshots.008.jpeg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/a7/ee/5f/a7ee5f50-de34-1eb1-3df2-90175f0a6cf6/App_Store_screenshots.009.jpeg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/66/cb/24/66cb24e9-3dfb-f972-b808-b82313da366d/V3.0_App_Store_screenshots.001.jpeg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/1e/d2/35/1ed23585-d97b-477b-0708-bedff0f352e7/V3.0_App_Store_screenshots.002.jpeg/1242x2688.png) ## Black Lens Rating Breakdown in United Kingdom - 5 stars: 4 (100%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 0 (0%) ## Black Lens Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Romania | Photo Video | #339 | | Top Paid | Azerbaijan | Photo Video | #414 | ## Black Lens Available In - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/black-lens-fytx/united-kingdom) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/black-lens-fytx/united-states) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
