Installments in this series typically focus on paid iOS and Android apps that are available for free for a limited time, but sometimes a regularly free app pops up that is so nifty we want to take a moment to bring it to your attention. Such is the case with Vhoto, a great free iPhone app that adds a simple but awesome feature to the iPhone’s camera.
Like just about every other stock camera app on the planet, Apple’s iPhone camera allows users to snap still photographs while recording videos. Of course video is great, but sometimes there’s a moment that translates even better in a photo.
But what happens if you miss that great moment?
Vhoto is a smart app that allows you to record video or import videos from your camera roll. It then analyzes the video content and pulls out the best frames, which can then be saved as still photos. This means that if you missed the perfect opportunity to grab a still while recording, Vhoto can go back and snatch it for you with the best possible quality.
Here are some more details from the app’s description:
