Reviews: What People Think About Obscura — Pro Camera
Cyntrifical
Rating: 5/5
I've been on iOS since iOS 11, using an iPhone 6, and currently I''m on iOS 16, using an iPhone 13. During that time I've purchased, downloaded and used many apps in the category of mobile photography and still have a folder loaded with them. I make an effort to bounce between different ones, giving each a chance to stand out to me, especially after an update. Typically my favorites are Pro Shot and Halide, and Obscura was more or less an impulse buy at the time, which sat on my homescreen exactly where it downloaded to. But once I took the time to try it out I was surprised I hadn't gotten it sooner. Easy UI, flexible controls and great photo processing have made Obscura the app I keep finding myself gravitating towards everytime I see a shot I want to take. I own DSLR's and am amazed by how far mobile photography has evolved especially on iPhones - and I believe the team with Obscura is utilizing every bit of technological innovations to not only emulate DSLR grade photography, but to exceed and stand in a category it's own. Amazing job to the developers! Carpe Diem

This is a really full featured app with plenty of advanced control to enable a photographer to really take good photos instead of just good looking snapshots (although this also possible when using the basic “Camera” function. The one area of improvement for a future version is: “allow the user to choose the compression level for JPEG and HEIC format files, up to 100% ( no loss) quality. Also, the precision when moving exposure reticle must be improved (the finger should be over or very close to the reticle when moving it)

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.
