5/5My New Favorite iPhone Camera App
I honestly didn’t think I needed another camera app. Most of the time I’m fine with the default app. Many of the camera apps I have are bloated with too many features, controls, in-app purchases, etc. This X4PN app is different. It’s no-nonsense and gives you just enough features, with beautiful film emulations, and isn’t bloated with features and settings you’ll likely never use. X4PN makes beautiful images and puts the focus back on composition and not on tweaking app settings. Simply put, X4PN makes iPhone photography fun again!

3/5Worthy Effort, and Much Appreciated
I most definitely like this app, however it still lacks some things that I hope the developer is working to add. The biggest thing to me is to add an option for NOT applying a film simulation. Yes, I know we can have it save an unprocessed image, but I’d rather have the option to turn off the film simulations and not save two images per shot. It would also be nice to have some additional options for black and white, like color filters, and NOT force us to use film simulations. And lastly, perhaps most important, please give us a preview of the image in the viewfinder! If I’m shooting B/W, it’d be nice to see the preview in B/W. In any case, thanks for creating this app. I love the wide angle format, and to be able to do it right on my phone is HUGE to me!!!!

4/5Does what it does very well
XP4N is built to emulate a panoramic film camera and it does this very well, including the simulation of classic film types. A recent update added a couple of more film siulations and made accessing the settings a little more transparent. The app works best using the main iPhone camera lens. the ultrawide and tele phone lenses produce very small files while the main leans produces a 24MP file. The app cannot produce a 48MP main lens file because of cropping. It should be noted that this is an analog camera emulation. It does not produce the type of pano found in the iPhone native camera where you pan to produce an ultrawide pano. That said, this app does what it's supposed to do and does it well.

5/5For those how can’t afford a real XPan
Being primarily a film photographer and would love to own an XPAN but can’t afford it, this is a great simulation and substitute for the real thing. A simple point and shoot. My preferred mode is Daylight since Portra was one of my favorite film stocks. Wish there was a way to turn off the volume buttons from being the shutter button, otherwise great app.

5/5Awesome single-click cam
I haven’t used an app like this in years - I dig the simplicity. Looking forward to using this on my upcoming trip. Maybe a little help for us lefties? If I hold the phone like I usually do for Camera with this app, the picture is upside down, and shutter button moves the right instead of left. Plus if I could use the volume button as a shutter… 🤌🏻
