Cortex Camera Cortex Camera improves the clarity and resolution of your photos. It does this by combining over 100 frames of video to create one stunning high resolution and noise-free still photograph. Supported devices: iPhone 4S, ...
App is great but now that the iPhone X is out it needs an update         Major need of an update Vivaladiamond
the only difference I see is that there is color noise in the photo the app took which is worse than having luminance noise         Doesn t work well on the X 👀👂👃👅👄
One of the best                 Must have app Buburuzele
Just tried this out on my iPhone 8 and the raw to Tiff mode gives excellent results                     Great low light pictures Isaacc7
The app does exactly what it claims to do and does it very well I don t use it all that often because my go to camera app ProCamera has a setting named LOWLIGHT that is nearly as good as this app I only turn to Cortex Cam when the ProCamera result is inadequate                     Very good app but I don t use it often The Fiddl3r
Tried to get a refund No luck Output is very grainy on my iPhone 7 native camera is far better     Really rmbfll
I have been using Cortex Cam on low light city scapes and water falls Great app with great results                     Great Low Light Low Noise Camera cobrapilot
I was concerned to read some of the negative reviews but figured I could roll the dice for 3 Admittedly the best result in sharpness comes from shooting a stabilized phone but the dramatic improvement in low light quality even hand held is astonishing The rendering of improved shadow detail is remarkable and the noise reduction superb I can t wait to use it on subject matter beyond the preliminary test shots I have no idea why others describe a poor experience but I m very impressed                     Astonishing on my 7 drfoto
This app is truly not for the selfies or taking pictures of anything moving that may move during the exposure process The exposure time is long especially on default and non default settings which requires zero movement of your subject otherwise you get a ton of blur This would be good for shooting stationary items in low light but don t think that this will replace your iOS camera app I want my money back     Too slow mfmccoy
I read the rave reviews and paid for the app for my iPhone 7 and I ve tried everything to get a sharp picture but nothing is as sharp as the camera app It s probably ok if all you do is view the pictures on a small screen and you re not too demanding but it certainly doesn t live up to the hype     I d like my 3 back Granji
My favorite version of Cortex Cam is 1 97 This latest version makes pictures in low light seem very grainy That wasn t the case for version 1 97 Instead the picture came out smooth and clear with a shadow enhance option toggle Maybe it s just the iPhone 5s But I hate the latests update and prefer 1 97 so that s why I use it instead It s the best for iPhone 5s             Least favorite version Using this for sometime
Dramatically and consistently increased low light performance Easy to use No need for a tripod in most cases                     A must have app lly😝
The app seems to work not quite as well on the iPhone 7plus It works fine on the 5s On the 7plus the snaps were intervals apart causing the light trail to skip It s also loud as it takes multiple snaps I know the hardware is capable of taking multiple shots in matter of seconds Also please add a slider for manual focus Update 4 10 2017 it seems like you have updated the app with Raw Video options It s working great now Thank you Changing my vote to 5 stars                     Great app but could use updating Dukester2010
Recently when doing photos on the app back in ios 9 it was able to take photos however when it is in ios 10 2 1 it does not process the photos well this may need an update incase overall its a really good app                     May need an update AP Soldier
Its a great app for low light but it would be better if there would be shutter sound settings to disable                     shutter sound Bikash977
Great low light photos even without a tripod and an easy to use interface                     Really Works Mdp888nffnhf
I am Korean user Camera shutter sound is very loud Please give me silent shutter                     Please remove shutter sound 백금얼음
This app does wonders in low light I would say this and Slow Shutter are the best for low light photography                     5 stars Eoreyes07
I ve been using cortex cam since the original version This latest update astounds me The raw input from the camera makes for FAR SUPERIOR photographs than all prior versions combined Along with the advanced features to change ISO and shutter speed you can take photos of dimly lit surroundings and there is practically NO GRAIN Note this magic is accomplished via long exposure photography So your subject matter needs to be stationary for several seconds wile the image is captured Hands down the best camera app available No gimmicks and silly filters Just brilliant photographs                     Brilliant GregM.
On my iPhone 6s this version takes consistently out of focus pictures The previous version didn t have this problem             Bug in current version Ye olde Nick
In the japanese or korean version of iPhones There is a very big noise of camera shutter sound Please fix for the mute sound like the previous version         I loved this apps but Misonyeonjo
            HanBK
Crash in all shots     Crash Joaowerny
Updated for v2 1 On the iPhone 7 Plus this app still reigns supreme in terms of image quality for still subjects All the cool new stuff like RAW capture and dual lens are supported One suggestion to get the most out of it Use a tripod or other object to steady the phone when using this app result will be dramatically better old review still true Have been using this app since iPhone 4 image quality is ridiculously better than any other app But then I have only bought 20 30 camera apps there might be something better out there Works best most significant difference in medium low lighting and works great on iPhone 6 plus after the last iOS 8 compatible update Addendum needs some work on iPhone 6 plus some square areas show high color nice and low resolution Hoping for a fix soon                     Impressive improvements in medium low light Jofte
It crashes every time I take a picture in this version     Crash Mirmasoud1234567890
checking please             front cam crashes kor mech
Has great potential Good when it works Mine keeps crashing the higher frames I go         Need to fix issues Mmmmmmsi
iPhone7 taking a shot with front camera crashes the app             Front camera crashes gaojoe
Needs to be updated to use the Telephoto lens in the 7 plus             Needs to updated for the 7 plus Etnies11911
I love the new inclusion of automatic modes Couple of suggestions can we blend the image before noise reduction is applied to the base images This is possible in theory due to the raw capability for iphone 6s and 7 if you add single frame raw capture in app then it will be the only photo app that people ever needs possibly save all cortex images to a separate album                 Love the new Options couple suggestions Eigebmeat
The pictures that Cortex Camera takes are startlingly good with exceptional clarity and very low noise Dim lighting is no obstacle and in good light the results can with some justification be called jaw dropping Several times now I ve thought to myself did I really take this picture with my phone And with the latest update s inclusion of manual exposure controls Cortex Camera has become my flat out favorite app for picture taking                     Excellence Simbuk
After reading a few of the comments I had to stop what I was doing and write a review for the sake of those who do not understand digital cameras and photography in general I am a professional photographer who has been shooting since 1975 and currently uses high end digital DSLR gear And my iPhone 65 Plus You know that saying the best camera is the one you have with you Well my iPhone ends up being that one a high percentage of the time 1 Cortex Camera IS a great app if you are going to use the iPhone to shoot the image It DOES outperform the native camera app and even some of the other better and more sophisticated camera app replacements due to its ability to manage the digital noise issue In low light Cortex Camera is my current go to app and the statements made about it on the App Store are generally accurate except for it being a DSLR replacement 2 There is NO WAY this app is going to outperform a high end DSLR and anyone who says it will is either inexperienced and doesn t know better or is misleading you A high end full frame sensor DSLR has a sensor chip that measures approx 36mm x 24mm It s light gathering power and dynamic range is huge and will leave 100 of all smartphone cameras in the dust regardless of the brand Because of the dynamic range issue high end DSLR s can literally see in the dark and I have yet to see any smartphone of any brand that can do that with current technology Get the mm specs on the sensor in your smartphone and see what size it is You will quickly see the difference Case in point my iPhone 6 Plus sensor is 7 62mm x 7 62mm You cannot take a chip that small and expect it to match the DSLR s capability If any smartphone today could match the image quality of a professional DSLR then pros would save the money and the weight and use smartphones instead of spending 10K 15K for camera systems So let s put to rest the statements of as good as a DSLR Folks it ain t gonna happen OK 3 But if you are content to use your smartphone to shoot an image in low light then this is your app It appears to be as good as it gets with the current apps out there                     Great app for iPhone but is NOT a DSLR replacement cp77
This app significantly improves the quality and resolution of iPhone photos                     Almost magical Glory dude
Its quite possible that this is the best camera app in the App Store I wish there was more control over the settings because I like to experiment                 Enhance
My reaction to seeing Cortex Cam in action was Wow I use it with a 5s and the photo quality improvement is shocking The clarity of the photos makes this app well worth the money Especially in low light conditions Ive used several other camera apps but until Cortex I didnt know I could take pictures like this on my phone Thumbs way up                 Shocking Photo Clarity
I bought this a couple of years ago for my iPhone and after a purchasing an iPad Air recently I installed this on that too And what a difference it created Noiseless photography finally comes to the iPad with Cortex Camera Photography is phenomenal during indoors and lowlight scenarios and during zoomed up photography Well worth the purchase especially if you have an iPad The only downside I can think of is that it doesnt have any options to tweak around with but it does what it does brilliantly                 Pics minus Noise
this is AMAZING                 10 star
The app worked great until I upgraded to iOS 8 Is there a workaround              iOS 8
As an avid user of the iPhones camera I can say that this app takes better nighttime photos Cortex cam even takes better photos than the iPhone6 in some normallighting situations Caveats If you are not used to taking pro photos you may not notice the improvements I dont always walk around with a DSLR but still want to get the best I can when i only have the iPhone iPhone6 made huge leaps but zoomed lowlight shots are still wonky Cortex gives you that back as best you can have it on an iPhone though when you are lowlight zoom extreme brightness mixed with architectural details like lots of neon on a sculpture then you will get minor washout of the colors Except this situation the the photos will be better than iPhone6 Caveats you need to mount the shot or use some kind of bracing A long exposure time is used to gather enough information to improve the image If you handshoot youll limit the range of shots that you can meaningfully make Naturally if your target is in lowlight and moving or changing colors you may not be as pleased with the shot compared with a faster shot that is more grainy In normal lighting shots I found that only the smallest of details were resolved better and when saving in PNG mode EG the lettering on distant signs was garbled on iPhone6 but clear with Cortex cam Most general information does not appear to be improved so the casual shooter will not see value I also found that I had better color rendering in the mediumlight shots especially with reflections                 Better than iPhone 66 in many situations
I like being able to take a picture of good quality                 good
This program takes fantastic virtually noisefree photos mainly because what it actually does it take a video and then stack and pack it all down to a single image Because of that having the phone on a tripod so you can eliminate hand shake when youre taking your pic helps One flaw and I cant understand why nobody has mentioned this yet When you use timer mode theres a giant square with a number on it that obscures a big portion of the image so you cant actually properly frame or focus on your pic Then when you tap the screen that blasted thing stays right there in the middle Could we PLEASE get rid of it and show the countdown timer somewhere else OTHER than right smack dab in the middle of a preframed photo please Apart from that I think this program is perfect                 Almost perfect
App doesnt work on iPod Touch 4 generation can you fix it guys please                 So much love this app but
I did not notice any distortions when I used this app with iPhone5s However recently the app makes some strange distortion It looks as if iPhone had a wide angle lens and the picture is taken on the edge of the viewing angle I dont know how to call it professionally maybe barrel distortion Please fix this issue           Used work fine with iphone 5s but with iPhone6 some distortions are seen
This app was horrible I was expecting it to take nice pictures like what the app showed but nope worse then my iPhone camera Dont buy it     Save your money
Wasted money on this one and their false promises takes worse photos than my phone did already They clearly write their own reviews I want my money back     How do I get my money back
Wowthis is a r good app                 C cámara
This version app does not run on iphone 3gs Quick update thank you     3gs crash
Wont load now that Ive upgraded to iOS 8 on my 5S Used to be wonderful please fix it Updated Thank you                 Used to work
Just installed on iPhone 6 and took a photo with and without the app To my amazement the iPhone 6 native camera photo was much better than this apps The image taken by this camera had so much graininess that it is useless Save your dollar and donate to charityDont buy     Totally useless
Cortex cam still beats the native iPhone 6 camera app for noise reduction in lower light shots The iPhone 6 app has less noise than the earlier phones but there is still a loss of quality when you zoom in to view a shot The dots of noise appear to be smoothed out which is an improvement but appears sort of a smudged feel and still not as naturally clear as cortex cam I can find nothing better than cortex camera for significant noise reduction in low light and moderate zoom shots                 Still the best for lower light stills
I love this app so much Takes beautifully clear images and theyre all 25 higher resolution than the highest res pictures on my iPhone How cool is that Not good for highspeed photography obviously because it takes several seconds to gather the video But within that limitation its magical                 Freaking amazing
For pictures where there is minimal movement Cortex Camera seems to double the quality of photos compared to the stock photo app It blows the stock camera out of the water Its a must use for any type of scenery or landscape photo Not to mention low light anything Thank you for updating to iOS8                 GoTo Photo App
This app really gave me my moneys worth It takes amazing low light pictures and makes the picture very clear                 Amazing
I did extensive tests to compare this app with the new app Hydra 9 out of 10 times Cortex Cam was the winner I was surprised how well it did in low light situations while holding my iPad and I do shake a bit Definitely a musthave app for taking still life landscape and other artistic shots                 Excellent Photos
Please make this ios8 compatible Crashes instantly Please update           Io8
Amazing improvement in the quality of images from my builtin iPod Touch 5g camera Photos that were noisy at 5 MP are magically crisp at 8 MPI almost cant believe it I rely on this powerful photography app every single day                 Update restores former glory
Have been using this app since iPhone 4 image quality is ridiculously better than any other app But then I have only bought 2030 camera apps there might be something better out there Works best most significant difference in mediumlow lighting and works great on iPhone 6 plus after the last iOS 8 compatible update Addendum needs some work on iPhone 6 plus some square areas show high color nice and low resolution Hoping for a fix soon                 Impressive improvements in mediumlow light
Native camera takes better pictures Complete waste of money     Terrible
So Im gonna say why this app is amazing to me First the photo quality is much better It uses super resolution which is much different than just making an image sharper It actually adds a lot more detail naturally A bi product of that is it removes the grain you see with the normal cam in low light shots It works well enough when you hold it still but the best shots are still with a tripod or on a surface A downside to how it works is how it takes several seconds to take a picture This is due to it taking several photos and mixing them to give you such a great image That means that motion shots or quick ones are a no no Still for the amount of pictures I take of non mobile objects this is my go to app for pictures                 Amazing app
If you have the latest iphone 6 or 6 Plus this app is totally unnecessary Just shoot the native camera with HDR on and youll get a better image highlights wont be washed out with more detail and as little noise as this app produces If you have an older iphone this might help some If not save your dollar for something else        No need on iphone 6 Plus
Crashed after first picture thats a buck Im not getting back Latest iOS 82 Latest iPhone 6     CRASHES
Please make an update for better support of the iPod touch 6 generation My photos are coming out strange Thank you Ive been with you app through iPod touch 45 and iPhone 5s always awesome           Please fix iPod touch 6g issues
Really gets rid of the noise                 Works awesome
best camera apps                 beest camera apps
Please add separate exposure and focus controls Otherwise its an awesome app                 Great
Im using an iPhone 5s so the results might be different with the 66 plus Anyway if you take a photo with the regular cam and this app the pic from Cortex has no noise or at least much less noise and even the graininess is reduced significantly and to a very fine grain if that makes sense However you have to hold still or it will have motion blur especially in the background if you zoom in Also the photos can sometimes have a softer look and not quite as sharp but for the most part its not an issue Worth a dollar just know the limitations              Great noise reduction
Theres no doubt that Cortex Camera takes clearer photos with less noise in low light than any other camera app I have used ProCamera 8 my previous go to for night shots ProCam 2 Slow Shutter I love that on my 5S the resulting photo is the same resolution as the native iOS cameras photos and its not zoomed in However it should be mentioned that sometimes photos have unwanted results such as blurred areas or nonstraight lines caused by not using a tripod or the subject moving The photos also come out a lot darker than other low light cameras which sort of defeats the purpose of it being a low light camera in the first place Although the you can brighten them using the new smart editing tools in the Photos app on iOS 8 Also it could use a couple more features such as separate focusexposure controls manual controls that were introduced in iOS 8 metadataEXIF support Overall its a great concept and it does create good quality photos in some situations but the results can be unpredictable and unreliable so it needs some work I wouldnt say its worth the 299 price tag I think 099 would be reasonable              Great camera app could use some work
Excellent and simple application Very good image quality especially if used with tripod                 My favorite camera application on iOS
Update UPDATE 92414 The app is back with ios8 support and its better than ever This baby is simple intuitive and flawless Buy it Use it Discover one more amazing use for this amazing app UPDATE 91914 After upgrading to iOS8 this app wont do anything but launch to a black screen and then vanish leaving me at the home screen I tried to delete and reinstall with the same results Emailing the dev got me no reply Its my favorite and highly used camera app and now its gone Fix this I feel like Ive lost my camera altogether ORIGINAL review This camera is handsdown the best app on my iPhone Its uses expand for me all the time The quality of the image is often BETTER than the native camera The effects created simply by taking a photo are more often than not extraordinary I could go on and on but whatever you want to use it for low light motion or long exposure effect this app can do it do it well and you DONT NEED A TRIPOD Buy it Now                 The Best
Doesnt work with iphone 6 this app makes the pictures worst     Do not buy it
Awesome app but definitely overdue for an iPhone 6 update not just iOS 8 Images have been coming out distorted on the iPhone 6 Otherwise awesome and very useful in low light situations Looking forward to whats next and update soon           iPhone 6 update
ios 8 please add manual features shuter speed iso exposure fasttttter                 gooooooood
This used to be my favorite app but recently it wont work at all I just get a black screen or a half black screen and it wont take a picture Ive tried reinstalling it and updating my software a number of times but nothing seems to fix it Update 3 months later it still wont work Please fix or advise     It used to work
Cortex camera is great on the 6 plus I use it all of the time I even use it in daytime in restaurants or anywhere I want a crisp clear photo However the new update that was just released is nice but I have one issue with it Touch focus works like a spot meter Bright areas in the scene get blown out while the desired focused area is properly exposed I would like to have some exposure control similar to the default camera app on the iPhone Since I like using this app in all lighting conditions I need some exposure control Please incorporate some exposure control options Then youll get 5 stars              Great app iOS 8 issues
Not currently working for iOS 8 Please update The pictures shown tell the truth This app takes beautifully crisp low light photos No noiseblurriness like the native camera app Its worth the money Definite buy                 Amazing clarity in low light
a must for travel photography Cortex Cam has enabled me to capture so many amazing moments with my phone big tanks to the developer for that daytime photos come out clearer nighttime photos are free of noise it is my go to app for landscapesstills for new users a single shot will last several seconds so it is wise to use a fixed object to stabilize phone ie tree wall hand rail etc sometimes portions of photos may end up with blur so take two or three shots for safety enjoy                 love this app
The actual quality is not as good as it is advertised It does not do better than the Apples original camera app I want my refund     disappointed
Thats all this app is missing Manual controls I get that its oriented toward taking just low light photos but I want to be able to take high resolution photos with this app all the time and Camera hasnt been satisfying me too much lately with all of the extra features I dont use and taking up over 80MB of my storage while this app takes only 3 Maybe implement the manual controls like in Camera with intuitive sliders however because that implementation is just great              Manual controls
Helpful to both dark shooting and fast shooting                 Amazing
WOW this app makes my pictures awesome The detail in the shadows no noise you will not go wrong with this app I have switched for this as my main camera And I have an iPhone 6 plus This truly makes every pixel count                 Better than Apple
I regularly use 5 different photo apps and just downloaded this It really is incredible The noise even even low light is very minimal Too bad there are not all of the bells and whistles like ProCamera but good nonetheless Nice job                 Really works
this is one of the best apps I have ever seen the quality output is really astonishing I cant describe how clean the output is you have to try it yourself thank you for the iOS 8 update                 amazing
Cortex Camera has become my default alternative to Apples camera app for lowlight conditions In dark environments Apples app produces blurry and grainy photographs on the other hand Cortex Camera produces sharp and noisefree images I keep both apps on my home screen                 The default alternative
