Snappr iOS App Performance
When you open the app you are straight into the shooting screen. There is a picture of a lens at the bottom, you press this to choose which one you want. There is also a slide to switch the flash on or off. In the bottom right hand corner is a button to take you to your saved pictures. When you selected your lens you simply press the viewfinder. You don't see the effect of the lens until after you've taken your picture. Below are examples using each of the five lenses.

Snappr iOS App Verdict
The Snappr is a cost effective way of shooting pictures on your iOS device with a fisheye effect. You can purchase fisheye lens for the iPhone, such as the USB Fever 190 degree iPhone Fisheye lens, but you have to carry these with you and cost more money. The app is easy to use but the number of effects is quite limited at just 5 and the file size limited to 1200 x 1200 px, fine for sharing on the web but not ideal for larger prints.Snappr iOS App Pros
