Miniature Cam - App Review



Oh no, not yet another camera App... well, this one is sufficiently different to make it worthwhile having a look.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
The first thing you'll notice is that the basic screen is beautiful; I absolutely love it. Not to put too fine a point on it, this is one of those Apps that looks so good that you just have to try it.

There are a number of controls, and again they are so 'tactile' (obviously they are not as you are using the iOS screen) that you just want to experiment.

You can choose still or video mode, as well as stop motion and 0.5, 2, 4, and 8 times speed. Your recording can be done using either the front or rear facing camera.

There are also three view finder modes; plain, horizontal lines and concentric circles (the knob to choose which looks great).

There are then four settings which are altered with a slider control: blur, contrast, brightness, and saturation.

The settings allow you to set video quality, toy effect (great fun), and whether or not to use sound (you can also add a music track later).

Once you have finished your video you can, obviously, save it, as well


Cost
This is a low cost App at $1.

Indispensability
This is one of those Apps that you will enjoy using but might not become part of your daily routine.

Dependability
The App works as expected. The choice of speed is set by long pressing the 'x2 speed' button, not flicking up, as might be expected by the sign on the button.

Security
No issues.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Good clean fun.
