I paid for this and all i got was a crappy app that crashes every 3 seconds. Give me back my money! Update: From one to four stars! Kudos to the team for being very responsive to complaints and concerns of the users. After updating, the app got a lot better! No more crashing and […]

i love the app for sure. i cant get enough of the late 80s and early 90s feel it has. it would be nice to have more different effects on the app or give it even a more authentic retro feel. For example, maybe you can add the feature where some VHS tapes show the […]

This app is perfect for making retro photos and videos. I use it way more than I use my normal camera. The filters are great, but making your own is even better! Can I suggest making a custom filter saving option? I think it would be easier to save them so you don’t lose anything […]

Great so far. Got the paid version and unlike some users, I don’t have any issues on S8. Satisfied with the purchase. I like how you can import videos. Also the features are pretty much like an 80-90s VHS camera so dont expect crazy filters or stickers or any thing like that. Basic zoom in/out, […]

The pixels of the glitchy/grainy effect are so consistent that it isn’t realistic looking. It also doesn’t allow you to remove it. However, you can move it around to different areas of the screen and make it more intense which is a plus. Overall, it would be nice if the grain effect was more random […]

The definitive mobile solution for capturing the VHS camcorder aesthetic; completely blows the competition out of the water. This would be a 5-star app if there was an option to just take photos. (13/04/23) EDIT: I completely forgot I left this review, however I did soon figure out that it was a long press on […]

this is great. it really does bring me back to when we use to watch our home videos from our vhs. i love it. i think to a nice suggestion would be to somehow add a mechanical sound effect when zooming in and out to make it feel even more authentic (im not sure if […]

Authentic looking and high quality visuals, very customizable, and super dope that it’s a one-time purchase and not a bs subscription like 99% of apps, which earns my respect. The only thing keeping me from giving five stars is the fact that importing videos almost always causes it to crash after not even 10 seconds […]

this app is really great but considering I payed money for the full version you’d think I’d at least be able to change the time of the video… i play in a band and want to be able to change the time so that it lines up with when we were actually on stage lol, […]

I was legitimately shocked at how good this app really is. it looks like an actual era accurate camcorder and the 4.99 is 100% worth it too. tThe absolute only thing that I could see making it any better, would be to have 4 or so slots that you could set up and customize with […]

I think this app is really good, but I think that you should have a brightness function or something because the images are way too dark at night. like I could barely see anything. if it’s slightly dark, it’s just pitch black. I was wondering if you could add a noise that would play whenever […]

Really great app, don’t regret buying the paid version. Definitely worth every cent!! However, it would be great if the date and time of imported recordings could be synced with the date and time that the original video was taken, rather than time of importing. Also, would be great to see more filters, as well […]

Been using since last year. This is the probably the best camcorder filter camera I get so far and I love the detail and everything. Though i feel like there’s some stuff that I want to suggest if it’s possible to have – Have an option to import video or saved the original video (no […]

Had the free version a day and just baught the full version, because it’s that good! It really revives the feeling of a camcorder and is fast and intuitive. Just a few things I wish: 1. Be able to save videos to SD drive 2. 4:3 videos also in portrait mode unless the widescreen option […]

Really rad app. I shoot analogue video, real VHS, and this comes very close. The bottom film reel glitch on this though is a bit too much; real VHS doesn’t have that many scratches. I wish you could add with a switch which layers were added to the video. Also, se analogie video switch things […]

Overall it’s good. But, there are a few buzz kills for me. 1- when I was a kid, I loved the freeze frame shutter effect. so while you are recording, you can take a photo in video,(not saved separately), see the shutter animation, then you will briefly see the image show until it fades away […]

Great!!! Just add more life improvements… SUCH AS A CAMERA!!! ( Don’t know how this wasn’t included…) Also like date, play, rec, pause, and time should be able to have adjustable placement before the video so it can be moved closer to the edge for those phones with bigger screens… and there should be video […]

Edit: the below issue was with my phone updating. For whatever reason it didn’t recognize the app anymore. The dev suggested deleting it and reinstalling. This fixed it immediately. I’ve changed the review back to 5 stars as it’s an excellent app. This is really weird. I’ve been using this app just fine with my […]

Almost perfect. Just one tiny problem. You can edit dates on imported and recorded videos. But if you have the date onscreen, the time will be with it too. Which isn’t editable. It stays accurate to the time on your phone. So if you import an old video, say at night, you couldn’t correctly spoof […]

Really cool app actually! I love how you have the titles feature and the steady zoom in/out is perfect (honestly, I wish regular camera apps had zoom like that lol). I also really appreciate that when you buy the app, you actually get the full app, none of that in-purchase stuff that I see a […]
