Editors comments: This is an interesting app that takes 4 wide photos and then stacks them one above the other to produce the final photo, although this bit badly lets down the app as it only saves at a very poor 400 x 600.
Having bought and briefly played with this app, for me whilst interesting, it has limited usability, being best suited to taking photos where the subject is moving towards you, or where you can slowly pan and capture the subject in slightly different positions.
If anyone else has this app, then please let us know what you think about it, your likes and dislikes.

I thought it looked nice. The difference between this and Quadcam is that you are only given the option of four images and the images are spliced into one almost 16:10 image with low resolution. It would have been much better with a higher resolution. As it is now, I do not know how much I will use it. Good idea to piggyback off the supersampler though.
I just downloaded this app tonight. I am going to get some funky shots using it. I saw
it in the Store not too long ago and passed on it. Well, now let me see what I can create with this. And given my favorite subject matter, it should be something sweet.
Just to let you guys know that SAMP is now at full resolution. The update is available and I downloaded it today.
