Cam-u-flage has the following features:
- Cam-u-flaged video recording with your iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 (with iOS 4.0 and above)
-
Timed picture shooting on every iPhone allows you to take a picture automatically every 5 seconds! (with iOS 4.0 and above)
Try the new modes (Single Shoot, Timed Shoot, Video Shoot) by taping the icon next to the Settings icon to switch through them. Tap to begin timed shooting / video shooting, and tap again to finish. The icon should blink while active.
- Whole screen camera button. You can press anywhere on the screen to take the actual picture. This is also great for self taking pictures!
- Ability to set the how much do you wish to camouflage your camera view.
- Ability to set an image on screen to enhance camouflage. These feature combines with the previous one, so you can have both the camera view and the image displaying on screen while taking the picture, with the ammount of each of them you prefer.
Remember you can always silence your phone for full camouflage!
Cam-u-flage works as your regular camera, secret camera, spy camera, hidden camera, and self take camera all-in-one!
The first time you open Cam-u-flage you will see an image, the "Ready to take picture" text in the bottom bar, and a Settings icon next to it (shaped as gears).
To take a picture, just tap anywhere on the screen! Your image will not be affected by the camouflage or the image you see on the screen, and they will be saved on your iPhone's Photo Album.
The bottom bar will tell you what the camera is doing, so you can know when it is ready to take another picture. You will see a "camera icon" on the left of the bottom bar, that will tell you how many pictures are currently being saved. Wait for it to disappear before exiting the app or else your pictures will not be saved. See image
If you go to "Settings" you will be able to:
- Set the "Camouflage" amount, that will enable the camera view to be underneath the background image you select. See image
- Set to "Use a background picture" or not. If you choose not to use one, you will have a black screen instead of an image, with the camera view transparency on top. See image
- Select the background image of your choice to stay on top of the camera view. See image
Full camouflage
This is the default setting when you first run Cam-u-flage
Partial camouflage
You can see the camera view underneath the background image.
Saving picture
On the lower left, you can see the camera icon, with the amount of pictures that are pending to be saved. In the meantime, you can continue taking pictures.
Settings page
You can have Cam-u-flage vibrate when finished saving pictures, and even hide the toolbar as much as possible.
Settings page
You can browse through the background images options by swiping your finger.
iPhone app of the week in "The iPhone Chronicles"
"I love using my iPhone on the go to take pictures of "bus specimens". Some are ugly, some are crazy, and some are toooo good to be true!....."
"1. Aim the lens in the general direction, tap anywhere on the screen, and 2. snap a photo of his wedgie without that nosy lady behind you knowing you did it."

Best Secret Camera App in the App Store! (5 stars)
This app does everything as advertised and it now snaps pictures at 5 megapixel as well as movies. Very intelligent design with camouflage screens you can control and different ways to collect pictures. Of special interest to me and rarely mentioned is its unique mode of taking a burst of pictures by multi-tapping the screen. The pictures then all funnel their way into your photo album afterwards as long as you don't shut off the app.
The best (5 stars)

1.4 is even better and added video. Smart and easy to use. I never had a problem with the app on my iPhone 4. I did have a feature request and got a reply back within hours letting me know a new version was out that addressed my request. Thx!
NUTBALL (5 stars)
This is a great app for taking pictures on the down low. It allows you to set your own screen backround to hide that you are taking a picture. I found that taking a screen shot of your phone by pressing the sleep button and home button quickly works great. It makes it look like your just on your normal screen as you snap away. You can also set it to show as much of what your taking a picture of as you want (makes it kind of ghostly in the backround or none at all) It also can be set to vibrate when the pic is done saving so you know to snap the next one. You can touch the screen anywhere to take a pic. Remember also to turn phone on silent so there is no shutter noise. Great app well done.

The update completely fixed everything and made this a 5 star app. Not only fixing all the problems but adding video recording. Great job!
