The Microsoft Pix app is often compared to Microsoft's Selfie app, for obvious reasons. The two apps may share some of the same technologies because they're self-portrait siblings, but the pictures Pix takes, as well as the design and the execution, are completely different.
I recently reviewed the Microsoft Selfie app for iOS and, to put it lightly, I wasn't happy with the experience. Microsoft promised better photos with the Selfie camera app but failed to deliver. This and the never-ending complaints about the Windows 10 camera leave me with doubts. So how does Pix compare to the native camera app in iOS, on Windows 10 and Microsoft Selfie? Keep reading.
Getting started with Microsoft Pix
The first launch of the app shows a splash screen with Microsoft written two times on it. After getting past this screen and a quick tutorial, it takes you to the camera screen allowing you to go ahead and start taking pictures, which is obviously what you would want to use a camera app for. The interface you are greeted with is simple yet functional, but you might miss a few options found in the default camera app. (I'll get to that later on.)
After pandering around the app, I started to understand how it works. For whatever reason, the app has gallery buttons to the top right, even though there is a recent photos button on the bottom-left corner that usually doubles as a gallery button in other apps. That is also the case here, as the recent photos button works as a gallery button too, making it two buttons for basically the same task.
