FILMIC FIRSTLIGHT $7.99 filmicpro.com

Change exposure more quickly by swiping vertically anywhere in the display, and adjust focus by swiping horizontally. Clipping warnings tell you which areas are over– or under–exposed and focus clipping tells you which areas are sharp or blurred. You can also use Firstlight to capture raw .dng files on older iPhone models.

HALIDE MK II Free (IAPs) halide.cam

This Camera app uses focus peaking to check that a subject is sharp or summons a focus loupe magnifier to double–check. A histogram display helps you capture detail throughout the tonal range. Haptic feedback and an overlay ensures your horizons are never tilted. It also enables you to save in ProRaw on an iPhone 12 Pro.

This is well worth a look if you want to make a splash on social media with creatively filtered photos. You can also replace a dull sky with a more interesting one while you take the shot, or add retro effects such as light leakage and scratches for a more analogue look. You can also add and fine–tune filters after you’ve taken a picture.
