While there are no particular problems iOS users face with the native camera application, things can sometimes get messy. For example, there are occasional instances when the camera button fails to respond, requiring you to tap it with precision for the result.

This is where apps that make capturing images and videos simple come into play. SntapCamera is one of the offerings in this domain – the app relies completely on gestures and can be used to take images and videos with only swipes, and they can then be shared over Facebook.

How to use SntapCamera on iOS

After you install and open this app on your device, you’re welcomed with a screen that displays the gesture list supported by the application. You just have to tap on the screen a single time to take an image, and the viewfinder mode serves the purpose of taking quick snaps.

Double tapping on the screen will let you switch between the back and front camera, and the settings menu (that comes up by swiping left to right) can be used to change the default camera -you can use it to define the front camera as the default camera or keep it as the rear one. Also, you can use it to configure the app to capture photos automatically as soon as it opens.

Apart from the images, you can also use the application for recording videos with the use of gestures. Long-pressing on the screen will start the recording, and the numbers displayed at the top left corner of the screen shows the recording time. The recording can be stopped at any time by single tapping on the screen.

SntapCamera can also be used to share photos and Facebook, and this is quite easy to do by swiping from the left corner of the screen towards the right. Automatic sharing of photos can also be configured through the Settings menu.

Final thoughts

SntapCamera can come in handy when you want to quickly take and share images over Facebook as well as on other occasions, all without the hassle of tapping that camera button.

You can download SntapCamera for $2.99. Do leave your thoughts on this application in the comments section if you try it out.
