I’m known to shop the modern way – when being out there shopping, I take pictures of merchandize with my iPhone as reminders to research them later in order to make a buying decision. Of course, this can get embarrassing when, e.g., a clerk watches me in a bookstore taking pictures of books. So I’ve been waiting for an app like cam-u-flage to allow me to camouflage what I’m really up to…
With cam-u-flage, you can cover up your screen with any image (in a bookstore, a screenshot of some text or an Evernote note might work best). At the same time, the entire screen becomes your camera – just tap anywhere to take the picture. Of course, tap to focus is not supported any longer. cam-u-flage then starts writing the image to memory and lets you know when it is ready for the next shot. In fact, only the bottom of the screen gives away what you are really doing.
You can use different pictures as a background and in case you want to see what you are shooting, you can adjust the opacity of the background image. Set it to 100% and you are in total stealth mode. Set it to less and the camera live view will be overlaid. For my shopping activities, I always leave it at 100% opacity. And have yet to be “caught” since using it…
Verdict: Recommended
Price: $1.99 from iTunes.
