Average Camera automatically takes multiple pictures (immediately or after a timer expires), calculates the average picture out of these and normalizes the result, to make the lightest pixel become white. It is useful for producing low-noise pictures in low-light situations. Because of the long exposure time, you should not hold your iPhone in your hands, but lean it against something to get sharp results.

Pros and cons of Average Camera Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Average Camera Pro app good for

The last star when the exposure lock can be locked for more than one pict. Ex: for a panorama, same exposure for the 6 picts.

I have used the app to take low light pictures that are not grainy. One other uses is during the day in a busy location with lists of people walking by that you want to look like no one is there. I set up a tripod, choose 32 or more frames with a few seconds between frames and let it go. When its done you cant see any people unless they stayed in one location for a long time.

Some bad moments

Crippled due to instability bugs on iPhone5s/iOS7 Slow shutter = 100% crash (regardless of the latest updated version that claims a fix) Exposure/Focus/WB lock not functional, freezes at times. Politely written support e-mail with detailed info goes unnoticed, apparently. There are much better alternatives available with greater functionality.

This is a fantastic app, and its a shame that it has gone so long without an update. Perhaps not the original intent, but this app works as a great long exposure app, capturing movement and translating it in beautiful ways. However, its last update was in 2011, and the app is a bit dated; it doesnt fit the iPhone 5 display, and the output seems a little smaller in terms of file size than other camera apps. Still, you cannot argue with the results! Well worth the purchase if you are trying to get the absolute most out of your iPhones camera.

loving this app! Would be awesome to have a square format feature while you avgcampro-ing. although, this app rocks!

I do not get the purpose of this app. it allows you to set a timer and take photo; unless I am missing something - It does not even have the functionality to edit photos?!?!

You really need to support the eight-megapixel camera on the iPhone 5! Other than that important detail,this is a great app!

Love using this to get great photos in low light. Its very simple to use as well. Please update to fit larger iPhone 5 screen!
