About ca-mera+

The successor of probably the nerdiest camera app ever made, ca-mera+ uses a cellular automaton to interpret the colors of your camera stream. The resulting images are pixelated and contain unique patterns created by cellular automata. The output can be black and white, or one of several retro color palettes (CGA 4 and 16 colors, 1-bit RGB, etc.).

This app provides "selfie" and "split" modes, records video, and lets you change the appearance of the pictures by controlling the automaton application direction, its rules, the resolution, the input brightness, and the input fidelity (i.e. to which extent the cellular automaton is allowed to run freely).

Solid app

Very cool designs, colors and new take on a camera app. The UI is simple and controls easy to pick up. I do wish there was support for the various cameras on the newer devices however. If that’s added along with an import function that would make the concept solid. Overall worth the money

Great retro-style effect not seen in other apps

I love the effects produced by this app. The biggest downside for me is it does not edit existing images, only images taken with the in-app camera. And the in-app cam might be improved with a manual focus-adjust input, since the blurriness of the image greatly effects how it will look after processing. If you’re looking to buy for video recording, please note that the video quality is noticeably less than still picture quality, and also that it takes some fiddling with to get the effect just right. There aren’t any preset setting available for when you get your settings just right. They need to be manually adjusted every time you start the app. Also, when video recording, the app does not stop your phone’s display from sleeping while recording. Photos save to storage as ScreenShots.
