Obscura — Pro Camera

After trying out what seems like 30 camera apps I can safely say that this is the only one you need. Even beats Halide. Love the live filters and the beautiful UI design. Great work, love it 🥰

I have loved Obscura ever since it was as recommended to me ( Obscura 1). Anything that elevates my very average ( but enthusiastic!) photography is a winner in my book, and Obscura definitely does that. I always brought a camera out with me to capture everything…. Long before cameras in phones were invented. Obscura makes it look like I know what I’m doing, along with it’s cool (and warm) filters and effects, precision if you want it, and tons more. It’s easy to use, play around and up your skills, and to get help if I need it. Safe to say I love Obscura

Got the “lifetime” one-time purchase a while ago. Now, new features are locked behind a subscription. App deleted.

This looks like it might be great, but I am deeply opposed to subscriptions on software and the features I would find most useful are locked behind that barrier. Please consider adding a option to purchase a perpetual license.

So interface is fantastic, issues, 1. With the setting on limited photos I can not get even the photos taken with the app to be viewable in the app. 2. Subscription apps are hard to like. I decided to try it for one year againat my pure hate for subscription based apps, I’m currently using 12 different camera apps and so for the interface is by far the best, I’m hoping the photo issue is just a bug, my plan is to test all the apps until I can find the one that I gravitate to by the ease of use, the main concern is that somewhere I think I read it’s made by one person, what happens if that person decides to stop or can’t keep support up? I hope this app keeps going it has great features and huge potential, I’ll be happy to give 5 stars if the album loads without issue, even with the dreaded subscription.

I just want to suggest it would be nice if I could choose a color for the shutter button. I’m older, glasses help but even still, if the shutter button could be a color I’d stop pressing the white lens change circle when I want to take a picture. I’m so used to pressing a white shutter circle for the iPhone camera. And, if each lens choice could have a color I’d not have to read the small print. Thank you otherwise all very nice. !

I’ve been looking for something to replace FilmMic Pro since it had gone to a subscription model and rediscovered Obscura. I like the interface, very accessible even for new users. However, for advanced users or anyone looking for video, you’ll have to cough up more bucks to get to the “Pro” features. Once again, subscription raises its ugly head. I understand why people use it, but my issue is that these models tend to trap you by holding your media hostage if you decide not to renew, or they use some other way to keep you paying. Here the developer teases. Want to record video? You gotta pay. Want access to Raw? You gotta pay. Want to do anything beyond taking a snapshot? Pay up. I’d rather pay for versions and decide if upgrading to the latest is worth it. Guess I’ll keep looking.

I downloaded this app cuz it says it works with the Fjorden camera handle and omg I’m in love with this app it’s reasonably price too for it’s nice features I would recommend it to everyone

I've been using Obscura since its first iteration. They are always solid cameras. Obscura 4 is so versatile and predictable and stable. 🔥💯👍🏼

It advertises its manual controls, but you need to get a subscription service in order to access it. There are dozens of apps that give you this ability for free. Deleted.
