Marquee: Cover Stage
A small theatre for the person you photograph.
Coming soon to the App Store.
Turn the screen toward your subject and Marquee plays a short show while the camera facing them takes the photo: a cue, a countdown in most shows, then their photo with a bow. Every show plays on iPhone and iPad. On iPhone Duo, the outer display performs while you shoot from the inner display, the hinge joins the act, and closing the phone develops the print.
Six shows
- Marquee Booth (free): a theatre marquee of tungsten bulbs for portraits and parties. Four shots, one folded strip.
- Peekaboo Playhouse (free): a velvet curtain theatre for little ones.
- Green Room (Season Pass): interview cue cards and an ON AIR lamp face your guest while you film a short take with sound.
- Anime Opening (Season Pass): speed lines and a countdown; four takes come back as a manga page.
- Silent Film (Season Pass): an iris and title cards; the close-up comes back as a black and white lobby card.
- Treat Time (Season Pass): a show for pets, no flash ever; their portrait comes back as a "wanted" poster.
Questions
What is Marquee: Cover Stage?
A camera app that puts on a short show for the person you photograph. Turn the screen toward your subject and the show plays in six beats (House, Cue, Count, Flash, Reveal, Bow) while the camera facing them takes the photo, so they know when to get ready and see their photo the moment it lands.
What does Marquee do on iPhone Duo?
The show plays on the outer display while you shoot from the inner display. The hinge joins the act: detents you can feel, a curtain in Peekaboo Playhouse that follows the fold, and Develop on Close, which develops your last kept photo as a print on the outer display when you shut the phone. Reopen within five seconds to undo. Every hinge action also has an on-screen button.
Does Marquee work on other iPhone models and on iPad?
Yes. Every show, the Season Pass and First Series work on iPhone and iPad. The show plays on the main display, full screen on iPhone and in the app window on iPad, and the front camera takes the photo. Develop on Close and the other hinge extras need iPhone Duo.
How much will Marquee cost?
Marquee will be free to download, with Marquee Booth and Peekaboo Playhouse free in full. The Season Pass adds Green Room, Anime Opening, Silent Film, Treat Time and the new shows released this season for $0.99 a month or $7.99 a year. First Series includes all of it for $19.99 once and is sold until March 31, 2027. US prices; the App Store will show your local price.
Where are my photos stored?
On your device only, in Marquee's library, and in Photos when you save them. The same goes for Green Room clips. Marquee never uploads your photos and has no account, no ads and no tracking.
