So I’ve had the iPhone since it came out and have loved it, it’s been a great phone and mobile computer. To date however I’ve never felt that the camera was great and usually didn’t think of it as a viable alternative to carrying a camera. I’ve always thought is was much better in the long term to just whip out a camera of some sort; over the years though it’s become apparent that as much as I do pull out my DSLR and point and shoot I could always find other times that I woulda shoulda coulda taken some cool pics.
Ok so I recently bought the the iPhone app “Better Camera” which allows you to shoot add some cool filters to your photos and then send them up to some social sites including one made specifically for this app. It’s exactly what you need an app that does what it does well, keeps things simple and allows you to get in and out quickly while still getting your creative juices flowing.
Today I took a few pictures on the subway, edited them when I was underground and then came up and uploaded them to a few social networks. I had a few problems uploading the images to the http://www.thebestcamera.com website and had to re-upload the images a second time before they actually worked. But overall it was a great user experience and one that personally will allow me to start shooting more. I always like it when I can get into the creative mode faster after a long day at work and this little app let me do that today.
It was not perfect or without flaws, I’ve got a little wishlist going here but none of these are things that are stopping me from using the app. They are also pretty obvious so I’m sure that the team over at Ubermind is hard at work on them already.
Features I’d ask for -
- Mass upload
- Flickr integration
- Better upload stability (May be AT&T problem)
- Rating ability on the Website
- View all my photos or all of someone else photos on the site
