The app adds an advanced suite of [shooting and editing tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersity-app) to cameras on iOS devices (i.e. [iPhones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macroscope-2) and [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macpaw)), so anyone from photography vets to neophytes can make the most of their smartphones.
