Comparing Various Low Light Camera Apps for iPhone

I don't know why anyone would want to take photos at night with an iPhone (kidding of course). As soon as a new camera is created, there are people who will push it to the limits and try to get it to do things it was never designed to do. That's part of the fun for low light and night photography with iPhone.

This is far from a thorough review of the various apps, and each app might have other conditions that would make it better or worse in different situations. Nevertheless, here are a few examples.
