The best camera apps for the iPhone X

One of the best features on the iPhone X is the camera. It is the best iPhone camera to date, with exclusive features like the wider aperture and OIS on the Tele lens. We scoured the App Store to find the best apps for shooting photos and videos that have been updated for the iPhone X, and this is what we found.

There are many great apps in the App Store for manually shooting, but only a few have been updated to support the iPhone X’s display, the HEIF supported in iOS 11, and depth features of the amazing dual-camera setup.

We will be looking at apps to shoot video, photos, and even editing in our roundup. To get the best idea and see them for yourself, check out our hands-on video.

FiLMiC Pro

FiLMiC Pro is the only app on our list that focuses purely on videography. It has been around for quite a while and is generally regarded as the best app, hands down, for shooting professional video on your iPhone.

There is everything you would need from a video shooting app. A few of my favorite features include the ability to set stop points and animate the zoom while shooting, the custom white balance configurator, and the overlaid live analytics.

Name: FiLMiC Pro
Cost: $14.99
Best for: Shooting professional quality video on your iPhone

Darkroom

Darkroom got a bunch of new features in its 3.2 update. It has Metal 2 graphics support, support for wide color gamut, and a new UI for the iPhone X.

Darkroom is best for editing your photos, with minute levels of detail. You can easily crop your photos, apply filters, adjust via sliders, user curves, and more.

They’ve updated the app to utilize all of that beautiful display, even adding buttons to the “ears” on either side of the notch.

Name: Darkroom
Cost: Free with in-app purchases from $3.99 to $7.99
Best for: Editing and adjusting your photos

Halide

Halide is another fo my favorite apps that got updated for the iPhone X. It has a whole new UI that really focuses on having everything usable with one hand.

There are a ton of manual shooting options, such as manual focus, RAW support, depth support, exposure adjustment, and more.

Just like FiLMiC Pro highlights the focus area, Halide will put a live layover on the screen to help you decipher which parts of your photo are sharp. It is a really handy feature when shooting, especially when you are using a manual focus.

They also take advantage of every millimeter of screen real estate. The left “ear” is used as a live histogram of your image, and the right “ear” is used to show the exposure compensation. Really smart to move these metrics there, and get them off the viewfinder.

Name: Halide
Cost: $4.99
Best for: Manually shooting photos

Hydra

If you are looking for exceptionally high-resolution images, low light shots, or HDR photos, Hydra is a smart choice.

HDR photos are created by taking a series of photos, at different exposures, then combining them into one shot that has a properly exposed background, and foreground. Hydra does just that. It will shoot a series of photos, and combine them into a great looking HDR photo, then gives you three options of B/W, medium effect, or strong effect.

Additionally, you can shoot low-light photos, zoom, and hi-res. The hi-res photos are especially cool. It takes between 50-60 photos, then combines them into a photo that can be up to 32mp. Significantly more than the default resolution of your iPhone’s images. When you zoom in, photos are still surprisingly sharp.

Name: Hydra
Cost: $2.99
Best for: Shooting stunning HDR, low light, and high-resolution photos

Wrap up

There are so many other great camera apps out there, and over time, I’m sure more will be updated for the standout features of the iPhone X.
