I wanted to buy this app but it is only for iOS 5 :-(

I bought this a couple days ago. It has quickly earned the distinction of being one of my "home page" camera apps.

This is a keeper -- thanks for the heads-up, Glyn.

I'm happy to see Misskiwi has made the leap into the iOS 5 era.

Nice, but ye gods, it's sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow to process ....

[Richard Bailey]

I got it yesterday whilst it was free for a brief time. I like it, it is a good app which is different to the Squara lens in ClassicToy.

[Geoffe]

Love it. I wish there was the ability to fine tune the filters but other than that it's a lot of fun and worth the .99 cents easily.

High res? No.

another day, another square format!!!!!! can we please have rectangle images!!!????

[zerozero31]

Ow, just realised as well that it sends images to Instagram upside down and in mirror image. Still like it though :-)

[Dave Day]

What size are the images it outputs?

[david]

MAX RES 1080 X 1080 Wick wick WAK!
Its a shame because its a nice app

[Mr Tmney]

@ David - you obviously didn't turn on high res saves in settings.

@ Dave Day ... Read below

Version 1.0 saved taken images at Full Resolution but loaded images it had a bug & saved at a low res 640x... BUT this has been resolved today with an immediate bug fix supporting Full Res on all images!

[David]

@Mr Tmney
Uh of course I did!
Also the update didn't resolve high res issue on iPhone 4s still saving at 1080X1080

[david]

found it is the in app camera that is lower res when import photo getting 1436 x 1436

[David]

Ok talked to the developer here is what she said:

Yes, pin hole uses video camera. And iPhone 4s's max resolution is 1920 * 1080. So, Squara crops 1080*1080 image.

[Dave Day]

1.1 mpx then, hmmm

Has anyone noticed that when you select silent mode it digitally zooms and leaves you with a 720 x 720 (0.5 MPX) image?

Fix this and add fine tuning of the effects and it could be a useful addition.
