HD Camera Ultra

Enhance your pictures with this easy-to-use camera app
Photography apps are useful when trying to edit and add filters to pictures. However, in order to make sure the color balance and brightness is pristine, you do need to adjust camera settings before actually snapping the pictures. Regardless of the configuration of your device’s camera, there are some apps that can help you with that.

HD Camera Ultra is one of the most popular ones and probably the most simplistic, which isn’t always a good thing as some users may want more features and tools when trying to take photos of important events in their lives or they simply want to capture interesting images.
 

Simplistic app that lacks instructions

 
The app doesn’t really have an interface. There are just a few settings that you can do to the camera, like disabling the shutter sound or preview animation shown after taking the photo. Also, you can have the app save photos to your SD card, so you don’t use up too much space on the device itself.

Volume buttons can be used for zoom, with a simple long press. While a short press can be used for shooting images. Still, it would have been nice if the app came with instructions or at least some tips on the screen, rather than having users tap on icons to find settings and shortcuts.
 

Adjust settings before snapping pictures

 
The app works in both landscape and portrait modes, having some features on the bottom of the screen. Two icons are provided for settings, which makes it a waste of space if you ask us.

Focus mode can be changed, by choosing between auto and macro, while the white balance can also be changed. Choose from auto, incandescent, daylight, fluorescent or cloudy. Change exposure and scene mode, by selecting from a wide variety of options, including landscape, theater, beach, sunset, etc.
 

Take pictures easily

 
You can enable the flash and switch between cameras on your device, if you have more than one. Also, the gallery of snapped pictures can be accessed on the right but you can’t simply tap on the screen to take a picture.

Banner ads take up some of the screen and they’re really annoying as they change every couple of seconds. Sadly, there’s no option of removing them from the screen. Also, the menu with effects automatically closes after 2 seconds, quite convenient if you ask us.

Editor's Review
VERY GOOD

A neat camera app that does what it promises, but it could use some improvements and additional features.
