"App name is a trap. it`s a needed app though. Camera Obscura has nada do with it: ``A camera obscura is a dark room with a small hole/lens at one side through an image is projected onto a wall/table opposite the hole.`` ``Camera obscura`` can also refer to analogous constructions such as a box or tent in which exterior image is projected. Camera obscuras with lens in opening have been used since 2:nd ½ of the 16th century & became popular for drawing aid, it help tracing projected image...``"

"This should be on everyone`s phone. The only reason I`m giving 4 stars is that the version on the Play store doesn`t allow capturing photos directly from the app anymore. There is a legitimate use case for that, as especially on Pixel devices with photo backup built in, one might not want to use the default camera to take sensitive photos. That`s what I`d suggest fixing. The button is there but doesn`t do anything. I know that it works on the version currently on a well known FOSS store. 🙏"

"I was excited to read about this new ap that would do exactly what I was looking for - obscure faces in videos for You-Tube, but it does not work as advertised. Release candidate 2b was the version I used on my Android Asus TF300T tablet running v4.2.1. It worked very well on still images in my library. It could not, however, detect faces in any videos I tested from my video library. Manual processing was time consuming and frustrating. When attempting to save an edited file, I always got the unrecoverable error, ``Can`t play this video``. And that video it can`t play is the ObscuraCam video I just tried to edit! I`d love to modify this review, so please keep at it, you guys. But in the mean time, no one should depend on this software to protect their identities from previously recorded videos."

DESCRIPTION
In a world of viral videos and facial recognition, ObscuraCam helps you share photos and videos while protecting the privacy of you and those you care about. With ObscuraCam you can blur and disguise faces in your photos and videos. Information that could identify you as the cameraperson is removed from the files for added security.
★ PRIVACY FOR YOUR PICTURES: ObscuraCam can be used as a camera to take photos, or to anonymize photos and videos you’ve already taken.
★ DISGUISE YOURSELF: Cover faces with pixelate, redact (blackout) or funny nose and glasses
★ AUTOMATIC FACE DETECTION: ObscuraCam automatically detects faces in both photos and videos, so you can quickly and easily anonymize a crowd or a long video.
★ MULTIPLE PRIVACY MODES: Faces can be pixelated, removed completely, or disguised with funny nose and glasses. You can also blur everything except a small portion of an image.
★ SHARE SECURELY: We remove all identifying data stored in photos including GPS location data and phone make & model so you can save the protected photo back to the Gallery, or share it directly to Facebook, Twitter or any other ``Share`` enabled app.
★ PROTECTS THE IDENTITY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER: Smartphones attach information to every photo they take, including where it was taken and by what type of camera. ObscuraCam removes all of this information.
★ AWARD-WINNING: ObscuraCam was a Winner of the 2013 Knight News Challenge
