iOS Photography App – Camera Plus Updated with ‘AirSnap’
Camera Plus is a popular app for iPhone photography, not as popular as Camera+ but it has its own standing. It has just been updated with a very interesting feature called ‘AirSnap’.

This is an interesting proposition to be added to a camera app, there are plenty of trigger modules but none like this. This is a free update, if you have previously purchased Camera Plus. If not…
