The iPhone has risen to become one of the most popular smartphones on the planet not for its calling features per se, but for its multimedia. People use their iPhones for a number of purposes, from playing games to listening to MP3s to taking pictures and video. Those with late-model iPhones might have noticed that the cameras integrated into the handset are capable of taking crisp photos of a quality that is nearly professional.
It’s no surprise then that there are a number of mobile apps on the market that work with iPhone cameras, adding features and enhancing functionality. But not all mobile camera apps are created equal. So in the interest of narrowing the list, here are the best on the market.
Instagram – free
It’s best to get the 800-pound gorilla of photo apps out of the way right off the bat. Reasonable people can disagree on what the most popular of photo-sharing apps is lacking or which features could stand improvement. Having said that, it is fun, easy and its sheer popularity means that those who enjoy sharing photos can reach the widest possible audience.
Photolettering – free
Those who enjoy creating and spreading Internet memes will likely find Photolettering helpful. Once the photo in question is ready for viewing, iPhone owners can use this app to add text in various fonts provided by House Industries. It’s also great for turning a favorite photo into a sign or poster.
VSCO Cam – $0.99
Easy elegance is the name of the game with this photo app. Billing itself as the “Standard of mobile photography,” VSCO Cam comes with a number of helpful presets and easy editing tools that won’t prove too complex for first-timers. Users can also import and export images in high resolution as well as compare before and after-editing pics with the single tap of a touchscreen.
Fuzel Pro – $1.99
Collage-happy photo nuts will enjoy this option, as it offers an easy interface that makes adding photos a breeze. Users have complete control over their collage layout, and there are a number of artistic templates to choose from as well.
Facetune – $1.99
Most iPhone owners likely use their smartphones for self-portraits and pics with friends rather than to try and become the next Annie Leibovitz. So for these folks this app is a must-have. It not only offers touch-ups and red-eye removal but face reshaping and eye enhancement as well.
Photoforge2 – 3.99
Those who do aspire to Leibovitz-level fame and fortune in the photography world can use this editing app to hone their iPhone snaps. The controls are indeed advanced and users can perform pro editing moves such as color balance, curve adjustment, channel mixing and noise reduction. Photoforge2 also comes with a number of filters, lenses and textures.
These are just a few mobile apps that run the gamut from professionally complex to fun and easy. But no matter the skill level of the iPhone shutterbug in question, the above apps each offer the creative features and functionality to help them improve their photography game.
