Apollo Overview
What is Apollo?
Apollo is a photo editing app that operates on Portrait Mode photos taken on iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or newer models. It allows users to add light sources to their portrait mode photos after they have been taken. The app reconstructs a 3D map of the photo and enables users to augment it with new light sources in real-time. The app uses the depth data of the portrait mode photos to calculate photorealistic light and shadow. The app is optimized for use with one thumb and has no in-app purchases or subscriptions.

Product Details and Description of
*** this app operates on Portrait Mode photos (requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER). *** this app is the FIRST application that enables you to add light sources to your **Portrait Mode** photos, after the photo was taken! this app reconstructs a 3D map of your photo which you can augment with new light sources in real time. Take your portrait mode photographs from awesome to unforgettable by selecting the color, intensity, distance of a light and illuminate your photos and selfies to your heart's content. *** WARNING: Taking portrait mode photos requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER. *** this app is the first app to use the depth data of your portrait mode photos to calculate photorealistic light and shadow. Using a proprietary processing algorithm running on your iPhone's graphics card, this app is able to render light sources on a portrait scene or selfie in real time. this app allows professional photographers and amateurs alike to try things that are not possible in the physical world. You can shape scene lighting by adding or even removing light. Since lights are computationally rendered in the scene, it is possible to put a light source within the frame: say hello to invisible lamps! The UI is optimised for use with one thumb, allowing you to always view the entire photo. One price, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. We hope that this app is part of the computational photography revolution. We are doing our best but your support is crucial. Send us your feedback, ideas or bug reports on our support email.

Amazing control over lighting
This app is the next step in what can be done with photo editing. I love how it works with the 3D mapping provided by the camera, to allow for both subtle and dramatic changes. In reality a very sophisticated tool, considering that we’re working on our phones. That being said, it seems there’s maybe a conflict: the UI/controls don’t allow for ease of use on a phone screen, making it somewhat tedious to make all the small incremental changes this app potentially allows. This app could soar, given the right UI. Think Lightroom and Snapseed (no, they don’t offer what your app does), and how well they function on small screens.

Great app, but please people: know your phone!
First off, this is a phenomenal app. The creativity it unlocks on your dual-camera phone is nothing short of incredible. But folks, you gotta know what phone you have BEFORE you purchase this app! It states very clearly that it’s ONLY for the iPhone 7+, 8+ and X. If you don’t have one of those phones, it’s useless to you. So quit whining and learn to read BEFORE you purchase something!

Excellent app with an intuitive UI
Blown away with my first render created using this app. A similar render I created a few months back by painstakingly transforming an images mood by manipulating light and saturation levels with an editing apps brush tool took hours to create. I just created a similar render from another pic from the same shoot, that has its look and feel, not to mention its overall quality, in 20mn!
