September 24, 2011
Top Camera is one of our favorite apps for the iPhone, and now they’ve released a brand new app for the iPad! Take better photos, and edit the ones you have with this all-in-one camera app. There are many camera replacement apps for the iPhone, but this is definitely not the case for the iPad.
You can check out our review of the iPhone version of Top Camera, as the iPad version will be very much the same, except that it is specifically created for the iPad. Here is a complete list of features from the developer:
