We were referring to the default Camera app that ships with iOS devices. All side-by-sides were shot on the same model of iPhone with the most recent version of iOS at the time of the shoot, as well as the latest version of the Apple Camera app and the latest version of Microsoft Pix app, respectively.

Good thought and we have heard feedback on this issue from others as well. We are working on a solution that simplifies the path to delete while still aligning to requirements for our app and iOS.

None of the comparison images have been altered via Photoshop. All comparisons were shot simultaneously on a side-by-side rig, using a trigger that prompted the shutter press for both apps (Apple Camera and Microsoft Pix) at the same time, so conditions would be as equivalent as possible. See a photo of the rig in action here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/product/microsoftpi.... We did crop the edges of some photos to fit into the available space, but otherwise the images are the unaltered files that were produced by each app.

Happy to hear you are enjoying it! We are working on a widget that will allow you to quick launch Pix from the Lock or Today screens, which we hope will help lessen the frustration of not being able to set it as default.

We wanted to provide an easy option for users not currently on an iOS device, but only use the number for a 1-time SMS with a link to the Pix listing in the App Store. We do not collect or store the phone numbers, out of respect for user privacy.

An Android version is development. We can't comment on release date, but we're working on it.

Pix runs all the image processing on your phone - we do not use the cloud for any of this.

Pix includes the full implementation of Hyperlapse Mobile, which shipped on Windows Phone and Android last year.

We're from the Microsoft Pix team, and we are interested in your feedback. Happy to answer questions.
