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.

Lots of factors have an influence on the overall success of a software product. The most important of them all is the application’s ability to properly handle each and every purpose it was created for. No matter is it an app of your creation or an outsourced one, it has to pass some requirements. But Focos is a simple app, it’s not a big deal if something goes wrong in it, right? Yet a lot of people highly rely on it, some even use it for work, so it is still crucial to check its operability during the functional QA in the first place.
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.
