Here is the list of the best camera apps to take high quality photos on your new iPhone. If I am not wrong, most of us have our phone galleries filled with pictures of sceneries that we have taken ourselves, right? Although, after looking at those pictures we realize that they do not justice to the beauty of the actual scenery. Apple has taken it upon itself to have the new iPhones equipped with amazing cameras that do, if not full, but quite a fair amount of justice to what we see in real life.
The cameras on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are the best cameras on any smartphone in the market. Do not just believe what we say but take DxOMark’s word on it! After being rigorously tested by DxOMark, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus’ cameras scored 92 and 94 points, respectively. And, landed on top of the ranking. But, have you ever thought if you are making full use of your new iPhone X, iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus’ camera?
Top Camera Apps for iPhone X and iPhone 8/Plus:
Here’s a list of amazing camera apps that allow you to use your iPhone’s camera at its full potential:
VSCO
This app (pronounced “Visco”) is already quite famous because of its amazing photo editing features. But, that’s not all it holds. It also allows its users to access its built-in camera, with a variety of manual controls. VSCO enables you to control focus, white balance, exposure, shutter speed, and even ISO. In addition to all of that, VSCO has an eye catching minimalist user interface.

Manual
In case you are a beginner at photography, or even a pro, who is after manual controls on their iPhone, this app is perfect for you. As the app’s name suggests, it allows you to adjust the ISO, expose and shutter speed with ease, so that nothing gets in the way of your creativity.
In addition to that, the app also lets you decide if you want to save your pictures in RAW format, JPEG format, or both. However, do know that RAW images take up a lot more space on your phone than regular pictures! This amazing app also provides you with a focusing tool that makes it easier to shoot macro subjects.

Camera+
Just like the VSCO app, this app also gives you a combined experience of taking pictures, and editing them. One of the best things about this app is that it allows you to set the timer to 30 whole seconds.
Also, just like the Manual app, you can shoot the pictures and save them in a RAW format. You can also use the shutter speed and ISO settings in the Camera+ app for shooting long exposure pictures. Even though, just like other advanced camera app, this app can be a little overwhelming at first, but you will love it once you get the hang of it.

Cortex Cam
Last, but for surely the least, there’s the Cortex Cam app. There are two mind blowing features this app offers. Firstly, it lets you take amazing pictures in low light conditions. And, secondly, it allows you to take long exposure pictures without having to use a tripod (how cool is that?!)
What it does it that the app takes dozens of pictures and lines them up, removing any disturbances or noise from your shaky hands, and merges them into one picture. The app works really good for long exposure shots (of water, etc) during the daytime as well.
