Features & Capabilities

Based on the legendary XPAN with its unique cinematic panoramic 65x24 images, XP4N turns any scene into a movie set; every shot into a movie still.

  • Shoot in the amazing 65:24 cinematic aspect ratio
  • Simulate 8 distinct film types (some inspired by popular film types, such as Cinestill 800T)
  • NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO IN-APP-PURCHASES!
  • Use all available lenses
  • Haptic and visual feedback when taking pictures
  • Use volume up key as shutter button
  • EV compensation by swiping
  • Access to the 48MP sensor (if available and enabled in settings)
  • Option to save as lossless HEIF files
  • Saves EXIF and GPS data in photos

This app is designed to simulate the cinematic qualities of the XPAN, including emulation of 8 distinct film stocks that are often paired with this camera:

NIGHT MODE Based on the Cinestill 800T film character with its moody teal cast and signature "halation" (red halos) around bright spots in the image.

BALANCED MODE Inspired by Vision3 250D film stock, with its versatile personality and typical Hollywood-style color and contrast curves.

DAYLIGHT MODE Based on the popular Portra 400 film; soft and warm hues and moderate contrast profile. Great for skin tones and dreamy landscapes.

GRITTY MODE Inspired by the Lomography Metropolis film, which adds a "bleached" look that is reminiscent of gritty 90s movies.

BLACK & WHITE MODES Following the characteristics black & white films, one mode offers a punchy and contrasty B&W style, while the other is soft and dreamy.

NEON NIGHT (NEW) Enhances bright spots in night photos and adds vibrant, saturated glows for a "cyberpunk" vibe

ETHEREAL (NEW) Classic soft focus mode, without the need to put grease on your lens!

XP4N is consciously made to be the ultimate one-trick-pony. A point and shoot camera with only a single button: the shutter button. The internal image processing engine does the rest, based on your preferred film mode setting. (so don't expect deep camera controls... ;-).

The resulting images are carefully tuned to have the pleasant silky quality of film and to get away from the oversharpened, hyper-punchy look typical of today's digital cameras.

User Reviews

XP4N delivers an authentic XPan-style panorama with strong film simulations in a simple, non-subscription app. Reviewers praise its aesthetic, film options, and landscape usability. Recurrent downsides are image resolution limitations due to cropping (24MP/6MP on some devices), incomplete hardware controls (no camera-button launch, volume shutter issues), and a desire for a live viewfinder preview to preview the look before shooting.
Pros
  • Authentic XPan/panoramic look with calibrated film simulations that deliver a classic, filmic aesthetic.
  • Simple, focused UI that prioritizes composition over feature bloat and avoids subscription-based pricing.
  • Strong film emulations with halation and a variety of film stocks, plus easy lens/options switching.
  • No subscription and affordable pricing, offering good value for a niche camera experience.
  • Landscape-friendly workflow with quick option and lens switching that enhances framing.
Cons
  • Output resolution is limited due to cropping: main lens typically yields about 24MP (not 48MP), with some devices showing as low as 6MP.
  • Hardware button integration is lacking: cannot launch from the iPhone camera button, volume shutter isn’t supported, and left-handed use can feel awkward.
  • Missing live viewfinder preview (including B/W preview) to preview film-look results in real time; users would like to see changes before capture.

I saw that there was an update for 16 camera controls but for some reason I can’t get it to work on the 17. Love the app just want to see if there’s something I’m doing wrong.

This is my go to camera app on my iPhone because of the unique format it provides. To that end I would love it if you could assign the app to the iPhone’s camera button so you can open it quickly.
