Snapture 2.0

If I were Apple I would seriously consider buying SnaptureLabs. Their Snapture application goes well beyond the default camera app, and now they’ve released the new version to make it even better.

According to the official release, Snapture 2.0 allows users to take photos “using all the major features of a digital camera.” Some of the features included are:

  • Four different color modes (new ones are sepia and negative)
  • Multitouch gesture zoom
  • Delay timer
  • New clean user interface
  • QuickView system – allows users to view and delete recent pictures directly on the viewfinder

Earlier version, Snapture 1.4 was downloaded for more than 400,000 times and SnaptureLabs hopes to repeat the success. The application is free except if you want to use QuickView, which is available only on Snapture Premium. Apparently, the mentioned functionality cuts the average photo taking session in half, by saving the hassle of having to exit the camera app and enter Camera Roll when you want to see or delete a recent picture. That’s why they charging $7.99 for the Premium version.

Snapture is available in 9 languages and requires a jailbroken iPhone. It is available for download via Installer or Cydia under “Utilities.”

A short, 2-minute long video follows after the jump.
