Still my quick go-to
If Im going to take a picture without stopping to think about some special need for a specialized camera, this is my default. For selfies, you bet. Also for shots that merit some craft. Camera+ stays fresh, updates always improve performance, never ruin what is a neat little package. Been using it for years. So have my wife and daughter.
Besides the quality results, I think what makes this an iOS classic is how elegant--how deceptively simple--the user interface is. One can easily, logically, and yet intuitively navigate layers of features.
1. Its an easy point-and-shoot. Photo taken, you can easily come back to it to apply one of Camera+s artful filters. There are just enough of those--neither overwhelming nor lacking. Theres also a modest variety of effective "scenes" to enhance light and color balance quickly.
2. Dig a little deeper and you can process your photos in the "lab," taking control of the usual suspects: contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, sharpness, etc. The soft-focus control is really special--havent found anything quite like it elsewhere. Back to your library of 63 sensibly organized filters... While none is overdone, if you want to be more subtle--or the opposite, kick it up a notch--you double click the filter button and it gives you a slider. You can also layer on another filter, then with sliders adjust the mix of your two selected filters. Sophisticated processes made accessible. Thats what Camera+ is about.
3. Finally, you can go all the way as a manual-control camera. Well, it may not go as deeply and extensively into controls as some. But you can do a lot with white balance, focus, and exposure. And, of course, the degrees of function from automatic to control-freaky are intuitively organized. You also get stabilizer, timer, and burst. And it is so great to have macro!
Could it do more? Sure. But not without loosing its character: well-edited, easily navigated, yet powerful picture-taking for everyone.
