iPhone photo app Squara is FREE for a limited time right now!
UPDATE 01: Check out the comments for this post. Either the price reduction has already ended or there’s a glitch in the App Store (I’ve seen it happen before, too). Either way, it looks like as of right now, Squara is back up to $1.99. Definitely still worth it, but I wanted to spare you any sticker shock if you were expecting free. If it goes back down again, I’ll update it here. =M=
It’s a common mantra of mine — I love misskiwi’s photo apps. Across the line, they add well-done, realistic retro and analog effects. misskiwi was among the first developers to pay attention to detail to get the effects to look “right.”
misskiwi’s Squara photo app is avery good square format app that integrates nicely with Instagram, but also makes a great shooter on its own. Squara is FREE right now in the App Store for a very limited time. It’s normally $1.99. Grab it now to catch this great discount.
You can read my thoughts on Squara here. Squara is another good addition to your toolbox, especially for the multi-lens options. This discount will go away very soon. Grab it now!
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch (4th generation), iPad 2 Wi-Fi, and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G.Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

TapShot changes the way you interact with your iPhone’s camera. It’s a gesture-based photo app, rather than a button-based app. It gives you an amazing amount of feature customization, allowing you to build an interface that better matches your workflow.
One of the features that the iPhone camera is missing is the ability to control exposure time. Although there are now several other apps that “trick” the iPhone’s sometimes cranky camera into giving you some control over shutter speed, Slow Shutter Cam by Cogitap is a great app that adds the ability to take long-exposure photos, similar to using the bulb or long exposure function on a film camera. You can use it to create interesting motion effects in-camera, create low-noise low light photographs, and create cool light trail photos that you can only do by leaving the shutter open for a long time. It does all this and saves at full-resolution.
lo-mob is one of iPhoneography’s earliest lo-fi retro photo apps and it’s still a great one. Created by retro camera aficionados, lo-mob’s well-rendered selection of old analog camera effects are still among the best and most accurately recreated available. It has over three dozen vintage, retro, and experimental photographic filters — all tweakable for endless variations.
Infinicam is the sibling app of Nevercenter’s CameraBag it applies the high quality analog film effects one expects from Nevercenter. Unlike CameraBag, its interface has much more possible variations to apply to your photos.
While I’m generally leary of under the radar apps that are discounted to free, Lens+ is a refreshingly nice surprise. It’s an easy to use retro camera app with a bunch of filters that look great. I’d say it’s not a bad app at it’s normal price of $1.99. Right now, it’s been discounted for a very limited time to FREE. Grab it now. The App Store link is after the jump. >>>
CameraBag is the classic iPhoneography app. One of the very first filter apps to appear in the App Store way back when (remember iPhone OS 2?), it was a staple in many an early iPhoneographer’s photo app camera bag.
HDR Fusion is a straightforward two-exposure HDR app that’s fast and easy to use, but also has a lot of extra features that stay out of the way until you need them. It lets you create real HDR photographs by merging two differently exposed pictures taken in rapid succession (bracketing) and aligns them in-app. This way, highlights and shadows can be captured and thus fully detailed. HDR Fusion is FREE right now for today only. It normally goes for for $1.99.
