[iOS] FREE Obscura 2 Camera App (Was $7.99) @ Apple Store App

1480

Greetings everyone, I saw this one over at MacRumors, seems like a great app that has gone free!


This one is a bit tricky to get, follow these steps:

1) Get the Apple Store app from App Store (linked in the OP)

2) Open the Apple Store app on your iPhone or iPad.

3) Tap the Discover tab at the bottom of the app, then scroll down until you encounter the teaser for Obscura 2 near the bottom of the page. Tap the link “Download now for free”.

It is Not from the App Store, it is from the Apple Store App linked in the OP, under the discover tab.


Description: App Store Link for further description.

The best camera is the one you have with you. But what if that camera was improved with pro features, a gorgeous interface, intuitive controls, and was always with you?

That camera is Obscura.

Camera

Obscura is designed to make it fast and easy to capture stunning images. Whether you're shooting in portrait or landscape, the Control Wheel fits into your hand perfectly. You won't be fumbling around trying to capture a photo when you're in a hurry – everything is accessible with one thumb. Finely tuned haptic feedback gives the devices a sense of physicality, so you can feel every adjustment.

Obscura includes a bunch of gorgeous filters to add style to your images.
There are 19 included filters, perfect for a wide range of scenes.

• A Sepia filter unlocked by sharing the app with friends

• A Black & White filter pack, including 8 filters. Especially good for dealing with low light and striking architecture.

• An Analogue filter pack, including 7 filters. These work great for giving a cinematic look to your images.

Requirements

Not all features are available on every device :(

Focus Peaking - requires iPhone 6 or newer
RAW capture - requires iPhone 6S or newer
HEIC capture - requires iPhone 7 or newer
Depth Capture - requires Dual Camera (iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X)
Advanced Haptic Feedback - requires iPhone 7 or newer

Privacy

We believe that your personal information belongs to you. Obscura doesn’t collect any information about you, so there’s nothing to share with third parties, nothing can be hacked or leaked, because we don’t have it. We think that’s best for everyone.

The only data we see is the opt-in analytics that’s automatically collected by iOS. See more about it at apple.com/privacy

The developer has confirmed that this app will continue to be paid upfront normally after this promotion is over, IAP are only for extra filters.


As always, enjoy!

    just tried it on an iPad mini and the buttons don't show up properly.

    • Not designed for iPad. It’s iPad unfriendly.

    I will add this to my 50 camera apps that I don’t use lol

    • I finally settled on Camera+ years ago, but now I see there's Camera+ 2 for some reason. Not buying that again, I'll just use the Lightroom app from now on maybe.

      • They need to sell more, hence version "2"

  • Thanks OP, good find!
    It seems like a great app. Just tested with a quick shot and it's pretty good. You can adjust exposure and focus like a proper camera.

    ^ same

  • No working for me.. there is a issue it says

  • Working again.. just redeemed successfully after getting errors yesterday

  • Looks like its not available in App Store Discover tab

    • The voucher to download it for free is in the Discovery tab of the Apple Store app, not App Store.

      Also from previous experience, these vouchers are only visible on an iPhone, not an iPad.

  • Finally worked for me after trying a few times last night
