Camera +

Is anyone using camera +? The app for $1.99? How is it?

For me it has replaced the native camera app. I keep the original camera app nearby in case I need to shoot video.

Camera+ was recently pulled from the app store for allowing users to toggle a hidden option to use the volume buttons to snap photos... which is a fantastic feature btw.

My i4's jailbroken, and I have it set up to boot Camera+ for a quick photo if I push volume down and up in succession regardless of what app I'm in.
 
I'm hoping Camera + is NEVER upgraded if they have to remove the feature. I would rather see a "sequel" to the app, so the current version is left untouched. The feature to use a physical button to shoot is priceless, and I can't see why Apple didn't do this themselves.

How do you enable the volume down button to take photos? What version do you need?
 
you fool its not available anymore, wished i would have bought it in time :-(
 
I bought the Camera+ while it was on sale for $0.99

Now I forgot to back it up... what would I do ?
 
i wish you could email apps and share them, like with friends and family..not mass sharing. LOL.

A simple hack in Safari, just type “camplus://enablevolumesnap” in Safari’s address bar on your iPhone (no quotes) will enable the volume buttons to snap the shutter. I know this works in version 1.2.1 of Camera+, not sure about older versions. If you want to disable it, type “camplus://disablevolumesnap” in Safari (again with no quotes).

Can't believe Apple lets these kinds of things slide threw the App Store. It's not exactly a copyright but it can confuse most people. Not fair that these people are taking advantage of people via Apple.
 
the irony of the whole thing is-Apple rejected the button function of camera+ because of the whole "user confusion" thing, yet they'll allow apps like this that just capitalize on name recognition of another app. I seem to recall a handylight clone (sans tethering of course) that did the same thing.

call me crazy but these copycat apps seem more confusing than a setting that you have to enable yourself.

Camera Plus basically used Camera+'s name to get people to buy their app. It's nowhere near the quality of Camera+.

Camera Plus and Camera Plus Pro came first. You're right -- they are nowhere near as good as Camera+ was.

Here's a scammy app taking advantage of the Camera+ name... Real Camera+. It's a horrible app that should be avoided.

Here's a post about it:

And to be fair, here's a review of the app:

It's not even a good camera replacement on its own. It's a low-end image editor that saves low resolution files.
