The app will freeze out both cameras if it senses a hardware defect with one. Go to settings--general--reset all settings to reset the app. Open the phone and reseat the rear camera and front camera, then try again. If you can get one to work, avoid switching the camera around or the app will freeze again.

Typically all you need to do is shutdown all the way, wait ten seconds, then turn back on. If not, then there is a hardware/software problem that only an Apple technician can fix.
