A smartphone can be a handy photography tool on the go, and anyone can capture some great shots using the native camera app to its full potential.

But installing a third party camera app on your phone gives you more control over the end result, and gives you access to a number of features and settings that are not readily available in the native app.

This article by Lars Rehm for Amateur Photographer lists six such apps for Android and iOS.

It's a useful selection of free and paid apps that can bring many additional features to your photography, like better exposure controls and filters which can be previewed before capturing the photo.
