iOS iPhone Photo App Compatibility Grid
Updated regularly
iOS 4.3 hit iTunes today and with it another class of iPhones has been end-of-lifed. The iPhone 3G is no longer officially supported by iOS updates and iOS 4.2 is the end of the line for this device.
Life In LoFi has created this updated, searchable grid listing the latest version number and minimum iOS requirements of popular photo apps (and even a few obscure ones). The database also lists the maximum output resolutions and if there are any other known issues with the app. It’s a good reference to check the resolution of iPhone photo apps to see which ones save at full res and which ones don’t.
See how your favorite apps fare below, after the jump. >>>
Although iOS 4.3 is the latest and greatest, most apps currently run just fine on older devices and operating systems. Even if you can’t or don’t update your iOS, your iPhone is still a very useful device and you’ll be able to update most of your apps for some time to come.
iOS iPhone Photo App Compatibility
This list is updated regularly. Newly added or recently updated apps will have an * next to their name.
 Some apps don’t support the Apple camera API and use their own built-in digital zoom.

This database is an ongoing project and is updated regularly and is meant to replace our previous “iPhone 4 Photo App Compatibility” grid. Maximum resolution numbers are based on the 5 MP output of an iPhone 4. They may also include a second value to include compatibility with one of the larger 7MP or 12MP software cameras available.
Some apps may not be listed right away because we know that updates have been submitted to the App Store, but not yet released. We’ll add them as soon as they’re available.
Let us know in the comments below if you have any experience with photo apps on your iPhone that aren’t listed here.

[...] iOS iPhone Photo App Compatibility GridA nice searchable database of various iOS photo apps, what features they offer, what OS they require, and their maximum export resolution. [...]
Leave a comment!


















this is very useful, thank you so much Marty for putting together a list like this for all iphoneographers
Hmmm I thought hipstamatic is full resolution for the iPhone4′s 5MP?
1936×1936 is full resolution for square frame format on an iPhone 4. Still plenty of pixels there….
=M=
Thank for compiling the list
after updating iPod to 4.3 polarize will no longer process photos from library. anyone else getting this? daren't update my iP4 in case polarize doesn't work. if you've updated iP4 to iOS 4.3 and polarize still works can you leave a comment please? thanks Mark W
Great work Marty. Thanks.
I have a question regarding iFlashReady. I bought it [based on your review] before it disappeared from the App Store. However, when I run it I only manage to get processed pictures that have resoultions in the region 320 x 200. According to your grid it manages much bigger resolutions.
Are there any "hidden" settings?
I have the same problem with Flash from Pocket World Software.
great chart, thank you Marty.
Yep, Polarize is now dead.
(
I'm gutted as this has been my staple iPhoneography app since I first got an iPhone and I've become completely reliant on it!
Looking for an alternative and I suppose the closest so far is ShakeItPhoto but it's not as good and doesn't have the proper Polaroid border, just a square one… ANy suggestions for the new best 'Polaroid' app?
Goodbye old friend….
(
My condolences on your loss, Matt.
I still have Polarize on an old iPhone that I keep on iOS 3 for a few apps — Polarize is one of them. I'll go through all the fauxlaroid apps to see which one (or which combination) comes closest. Unfrotunately, I think Polarize is unreplacable by anything but Polarize.
=M=
Don't know if it appeals to others, but the Instant filter in CameraBag is the thing that keeps that app on my phone. I especially like it for people shots, and it seems to handle low light better than most.
This is a great resource, thanks. I'd love to see it include your ratings and links for the ones you've reviewed.
A few more useful apps that save at full res on the 3GS (don't know about i4): GeniusScan, MobileMonet, PhotoFactory.
It appears you are mistaken about Slow Shutter Cam, I have it saving at full res on my 3GS (1536 x 2048).
Thanks, Jonny. I'll update that for 3GS.
=M=
Thanks, Jonny, I've updated Slow Shutter Cam and will look into the other ones soon.

i know polarize is no longer available from the app store or being developed, but can anyone absolutley confirm it will or will not *work* with iOS 4.3 fpr those that still have the app on their phones? thanks.
Now this is very very useful. Thanks a bunch
I’ll keep watch on this, hopefully apps will be updated with iOS 4.3 support
Hi, Mark,
Earlier versions of iOS 4 broke the camera of Polarize. iOS 4.3 now breaks photo library import for me. Import still works in iOS 4.2.1.
=M=
hi marty. thanks for confirming that. i had hoped your very useful chart would do that but it seems to only give the lowest iOS possible – not applicable in this case. if only chris comair would ressurrect this app. it's so good i may have to go through the bother of having a 'polarize-dedicated' iPhone which is a bit silly. Polaroid should stop mucking about, ditch their dire app and replace it with this one.
will be very interested to see what you recommend as the best replacement/combo after you experiments. cheers.

Yep, iOS4.3 has completely broken Polarize. I too still have it on my old 3G iPhone but I can't imagine tolerating the hassle of taking all the pictures off my iPhone4 and putting them all onto my 3G just to Polarize them, especially as I usually do my Polarizing on the move, when I'm actually taking the picture or on the tube afterwards or whatever, so while it's an option, I can't see me choosing that!
I need something for iOS4.3 that can do as good as, or nearly as good a job as Polarize did.
*sniff*
Before it was stolen, I used to carry around my old 2G just for older versions of apps and the unique digital lo-fi capabilities of that iPhone's camera. Just a thought if you still have your 3G….
=M=
Well, I'm just about to revert to iOS 4.2.1 again as the benefits of 4.3 are negligible and outweighed by the fact that I want Polarize back again!
Hopefully it'll work, but I will have to update the iOS one day…
thanks for confirming that matt, though i am distraught as you are. polarize just made every shot look good and was quick too. i can't figure out how it hasn't been bought by Polaroid themselves as it is massively better than their poor offering. i also like lo-mob's polaroid settings – great realistic borders and choice of colour effects, but it's slower and more complex. have you tried it? does anyone know a reliable way of downgrading to 4.2.1??
I've been looking into downgrading to 4.2.1 and it turns out to be very difficult and quite complicated and involves you having "saved your blobs" from 4.2.1!!
I'll probably try to do it tonight but am worried about screwing something up…. Will keep you posted….
It's such a shame that the developer of Polarize, Chris Comair, abandoned the app. He was only ever able to submit the first version of it, as Apple wouldn't support it or allow any updates to it after that (possibly worried about © probs from Polaroid) so even though he did improve its resolution and compatibility for later iOS versions, it was always rejected by Apple, so he's now abandoned it.
Maybe we can get him to sell it to another developer or something?
It's by far the best 'Fauxlaroid' app I've found, even if the res was a bit low and if I can't downgrade to 4.2.1 I'm gonna be a bit lost!
Even if I do manage to downgrade, I'll have to update to future iOS versions at some point as I don't like to be too out of date with it…
Bah.
thanks for confirming that matt. good luck with the downgrading. i think i'll be doing that too if i can figure it out. have you tried lo-mob. it will never be the same as polarize which was so simple and elegant with fantastic results everytime but lo-mob does have great realistic borders and different polaroid film stock effects. v impressive. give it a spin? get it before apple ban that too because of it's polaroid borders. cheers. Mark W.
I have tried Lo-Mob and thought it was a bit 'meh'. Does nice borders but doesn't so anything particularly nice to the image, as far as I can tell.
Will fiddle with it some more but it's sad that there isn't an app as good as Polarize.
Classic Insta isn't too bad (with the "CLS Modern" cartridge, so I might use that, and Retro Camera takes quite nice Polas but you can't use pics already in your library, which is a shame.
Will keep you posted on the iOS downgrade, which may be a disaster, but who knows…..
i did notice that chris comair had another app called Effects Lab which has a polarize setting but i can't see it doing the border as well. if you have this app maybe use lo-mob or whatever to add the border after. it's a bit of a faff though isn't it. i think i'm in the denial stage of bereavment !
So I'm currently going through the process of downgrading my iPhone4 to iOS 4.2.1 which is a bit of a pain as I'll have to reload all my photos/music etc, and it was an extremely difficult and scary process to go through (my iPhone screen looked like an old DOS computer!) but I think it's worked now and it's currently reloading all my apps, so we'll see……
Good luck, Matt. Let us know how it goes. You are braver than I am. What you're doing involves wiping your entire iPhone, restoring to factory specs, and reinstalling all your apps.
Hopefully, you can restore from your latest backup in iTunes. That would make things easier and less scary.
=M=
Thanks! It was a complete nightmare and extremely difficult and scary but it's done now and I had to reinstall everything and re-do all my app-folders and settings and everything, as the backup file I had was of course for 4.3 and iTunes couldn't use that to restore 4.2.1 with, so the one it used seemed to be from ages ago.
Still, apart from all my music, which is copying over as we speak, it's all back to normal and more importantly………. I have Polarize again! yay!!
However, this whole episode has got me thinking that maybe I should sort of move on from Polarize and embrace other forms of iPhoneography such as Hipstamatic and the like, as there is more scope for creativity if I move away from just Polarize….
On the other hand though, I like the consistency of Polarize and knowing how it behaves and if I use Hipstamatic and Instagram all the others it'll mean I'm now faced with infinite permutations and combinations of styles and treatments and I might get bogged down with it all, which could take away from the quite 'instant' method of iPhoneography that I've enjoyed thus far.
It's a tricky one… any thoughts anyone?
after the demise of polarize i've been experimenting with alternatives. other apps can do a really good job of coming up with similar (and sometimes better IMHO) effects. lo-mob has some excellent filters and has big file size output which print great. as a polarize lookylikey i think the best is either using chris comair's "effects lab" app to process the image, then use lomob to add the border. the hipstamatic john s lens + lomob frame also does this well. poladroid – a desktop app – also does a convincing job. i've uploaded a few examples here https://www.me.com/gallery/#100010 have a look. they just don't replace the simplicity and *useability* of the original polarize though. never mind. cheers. mark w.
The photo app Speed Photo app seems to have problems with iOS 4.3. The preview windows now only show black squares.
