Weekly Bug Crawl by QAwerk: Focos for iOS
Focos is a free iOS application that gets well beyond the standard Portrait Mode on the latest Apple devices when it comes to the photo tweaking. It lets you make DSLR-like pictures of the professional quality with different filters and weather simulations, using nothing but your dual-camera iPhone. Focos is brilliant in its features, and sometimes you might even think that it’s is completely spotless. But unfortunately, no one is 100% secure from the errors. Let us show you the bugs we found in this app during our Bug Crawl.

Focos is almost an iPhone-buying app for everyone who loves photography. Who wouldn’t want to have a built-in DSLP on a smartphone? You can spend hours playing around with the depth settings and get a ton of highest-quality photos in the process. Bugs we found don’t make this app bad. As a photo editing tool, it still exceeds any given functional expectations. But a good app should be tested more carefully than it’s usually done nowadays.
