Snapture

Folks behind the Snapture application obviously don’t like iPhone’s built-in camera app. Scrap that, they’re calling most of the Apple built apps “mediocre and overly simplistic.”

So, they’ve decided to make their own camera application that will be much better. And Snapture was born. Some of the features included in the application:

  • Easy Self Photo – when you want to take a photo of yourself, simply tap anywhere on the iPhone screen or use the volume button.
  • Digital Zoom – that’s 3x digital zoom.
  • Multishot Mode – capture three frames in a row.
  • Multiple Image Sizes – three different sizes are supported: large (1600×1200), medium (1280×960) and small (960×720).
  • Color Modes – choose between color or grayscale modes.
  • Delay Timer – delay photo taking by 5 seconds.
  • Toggle Auto Rotation – Auto Rotation could be turned off if that’s required.
  • Quiet Mode – allows turning off any audible feedback.
  • Level Aid – provides a visual guide for taking photos at different angles.

Want it? Sure you do! You’ll need a jailbroken iPhone and then search for “Snapture” in the Utilities section of the Installer.app.
