Editors comments: Widescreen and the professional look of a high-end camera, and all from a Lo-Fi camera!! The widescreen effects may be interesting to some, but we all know the iPhone can not produce the same results as a high-end camera.

If anyone does buy this app, be sure to post any comments here.

i have this. It works exactly as you'd think.
if you shoot long skinny photos for things like website headers, or tall banner ads, it's a good way to 'mask out' the parts you don't want or see what the cropped photo is going to look like on the site kinda thing.
In the old days I had little cardboard cutouts with different ratio 'holes' I'd tape over the UV filter, the crop em in photoshop. This seems a little more stream lined. If you have questions about this app lemme know and i'll try it out for you.

I too have enjoyed this app. It crops in the format requested at the highest resolution your phone can muster. It remembers your selection between uses, and the UI is very easy to use with a label for each crop used. I like it because it allows you to frame your shot when you are on location rather than cropping it out later. It does not save the original full photo, although I imagine the developer could add that option in a future update.

3:2 lanscape does work for me. I bought the app just to take 3:2 ratio.
I have white bar across the top of the picture.
Is there a fix?
Portrait works as expected.
