Cogitap photo apps, including Slow Shutter and Bracket Mode are FREE today!
I love the holidays. It seems everyone has been giving a lot this year including app developers. Here’s an early Christmas present from Cogitap Software.
Several Cogitap photo apps are FREE today! This includes their excellent Slow Shutter Cam and Bracket Mode apps. It also includes their new photo apps HDR Fusion and Burst Mode. All of these are for full versions of the apps, not lite versions. Each app normally sells for $0.99-$1.99. This sale won’t last long — no longer than today in your time zone — so grab these now. Keep going for direct links and my thoughts on the apps.
UPDATE: It looks like today is over in Cogitap’s timezone. The apps are back to their normal price. However, stay tuned…. I suspect there will be more Cogitap freebies very soon. =M=
Slow Shutter Cam ( 
) is an outstanding app which creates slow shutter effects on your iPhone. We recently gave the app a 4 star review. The latest update adds a really, really cool “Light Trail” mode which lets you capture light paintings. It does all this and saves at full-resolution.
Bracket Mode ( ) is their new app which is simply a capture tool for HDR. It grabs two bracketed images for HDR in less than 4 seconds on an iPhone 4, allowing you to perform the more time-consuming tasks of merging and processing later. If you shoot with any of the third party HDR apps, like TrueHDR or ProHDR, this is an essential app. We recently rated it 4 stars as well. Saves at full device resolution.
HDR Fusion ( ) is Cogitap’s foray into the third-party HDR market. It’s a full-blown HDR app which takes the two bracketed images and then merges and aligns them in-app. I haven’t fully tested this app yet, but the results are different than any other HDR app available. Color processing seems to be a little more vibrant than TrueHDR’s natural mode, but not at vibrant as ProHDR. Saves at full device resolution.
Burst Mode ( ) is a very fast camera app which can capture up to hundreds of frames in just a few seconds. Currently, the app only saves all those images at the lower-resolution VGA size of 640×480 pixels.
The above apps require an iPhone or iPod Touch 4th Gen running iOS 4. Check the App Store description for the specific version.

unfortunately, all these apps are compatible only with 4.2 =/
Hi, Dean.
Updated. Thank you for pointing that out.

Burst Mode and Slow Shutter work just fine on 4.1. I'm going to dl HDR Fusion on the computer for when I update.
Strangely the HDR app they make doesn't seem to have a way to load the images taken with their own Bracket app. I was able to load the 2 images taken with Bracket in ProHDR and it works quite well, though.
Thanks for the info ¡¡
Got 'em! Now I have to go write a bunch of reviews…and re-write a few more.
Thanks for the info. The apps look cool!
sweet picked up hdr and bracket. now to update to 4.2. Any issues with 4.2 and the 3Gs?
Sadly, I can't dl bracket mode as it says it's being modified. Managed to get the rest tho.
Update: They have switched bk to paid mode.
Thanks for the tip, but I missed most. I wonder what time zone they're in. I got HDR Fusion earlier in the day on a tip from a buddy on FB. Didn't get here until too late.
Sorry guys, I had to terminate the offer sooner since the online tool to update app prices and info will be down for the holidays starting tonight.
Send me an email at support@cogitap.com
great hdr fusion, less noise with low light than pro hdr ¡¡¡¡
Agreed on HDR Fusion: I've got True HDR and HDR Pro and the main thing I noticed with this app is it's by far the fastest and the least noisy. The lack of settings on it means that I don't think it'll be my main HDR app, but I'm very pleased with it and glad I picked up a copy.
