Obscura's tagline is, "There's always a better camera then the one you have with you. And that's Obscura" – and they wouldn't be wrong! The Obscura camera works by giving you complete control over options like shutter speed and contrast, and with the new iPhone, the ability to capture their breathtaking images in RAW format. By adding layers and playing around in Obscura, users are able to get creative and professional with their iPhoneography snapshots, something your iPhone's standard camera can't really do.

Though creator Ben McCarthy has clarified what the details to the promotion are in a new blog post:
Today is a big day for Obscura. In partnership with Apple, we're making Obscura free to new customers for a limited time. Here's what that means: Obscura is still a paid up front app, and we have no plans to change that. The promotion will run for about two months, and during that time, Obscura will still be available for purchase. Think of it as Apple offering out promo codes rather than as a sale. (Ben McCarthy)
McCarthy goes on to detail that the promotion will only be available in certain regions and that there is no money being exchanged between him and Apple.
