Few things upfront which made me think twice reading the headline and then to click the link, but it is definitely a nice app to consider:
--> it is not about the Leica phone app
--> the discussed app is commercial but offers a free 7-day trial period

I spent about 10 minutes with the app and plunked down my money. Great app. Best and easiest to use with so many features. I look forward to making this my default camera app.

Great article! I’ve been using Mood.Camera for a few months and have been enjoying it very much. The standard simulations are very nice and some of the user created ones are quite useful too. Lots of fun to be had without HDR. I wish Apple would listen to those of us hoping for the return of an HDR on/off for the stock camera app.
I hope it’s not inappropriate to mention one other app that I’ve been enjoying, NoFusion. I have no association with this app. It’s one I saw recommended at the same time as Mood in an Alex Armitage video. Here’s the link for anyone interested.
It’s another great app with many film sims, both built in and custom luts allowed. This app’s special feature is “Negative Film”. With this you can create a heif file but with RAW data saved as well. This allows you to change film simulations after the fact and output to standard heif with Apple processing or heif+ that is user defined sharpness, latitude, saturation compensation, contrast and grain.
It also allows for the initial capture to be ProRaw or bayer raw pipelines. If you pick bayer raw it’s 12MP image or ProRaw for 48MP. Either option allows for film simulations that result in different looks depending on the pipeline chosen.
I’ve been have fun with both apps and enjoy them enough that it can be difficult to choose the one to use over the other. One change I’d make to NoFusion is the initial setup requires location and microphone access. You can then deny these in phone Settings and all continues to work as normal. I’d prefer these be opt-in but this is my biggest complaint.
Thanks again for sharing your journey with Mood.Camera! If I overstepped by adding another app to the conversation I’ll delete the related info and make a separate post.

Not inappropriate at all, Vic. I've also been playing with No Fusion and while I like the output, I find it a lot less enjoyable to use from a UI and keeping-me-in-the-moment POV. Obviously, that's just me.

The UI and being in the moment is where Mood excels. Pick your film recipe and set out with a natural looking live view. As you mentioned in your article the developer is holding strong to his vision with the camera’s features. That’s commendable in a time when the competition usually tries to offer anything and everything.
One thing is for sure. We’re spoiled for choices these days.
