  1. 5/5Amazing simulation of CRT TVs

    The App Store keeps eating my review, so I’ll just say - amazing. I was able to perfectly recreate what my childhood 9” CRT looked like, terrible RF signal and all. Also, I don’t understand why, but this does a MUCH better job of properly fuzzing old console video game screenshots than any of the emulation CRT filters I’ve tried. PS1 and PS2 games are particularly well-affected. I’m very impressed. Fantastic work. Thank you.

  2. 5/5Great

    Love it! The best CRT simulation I’ve seen, extremely fun to mess with

  3. 5/5Seriously Amazing, but i’d like some more details about settings within the app.

    Such a cool app for its low price tag i’ve been messing with it since the moment i got it. within a day here is a couple of minor things: 1. Will there be some information pertaining to settings within the app? i know many are easily self explanatory, but there’s a good chunk off display settings that have me asking what there purpose is. 2. some type of search bar feature, i personally don’t need it but my friends feel like it would help with user experience. 3. the ability to toggle the already integrated stabilizer on your phone. i can’t find on the app if there is a setting for this or not, (because there is little info on buttons and sliders) but having the stability somewhere feature would be awesome! 4. some sort of save file for all settings, and maybe even some presets. you could ignore the other 3 complaints because all i’d ever want would a save option. Amazing app that does exactly what it says + more and endless ways to mess around with it. (oh and i love the teletext feauture.)

  4. 5/5Feature request

    Maybe I’m missing something but I’m not seeing any options to input videos via files app.

    JTJTW0 · 6 Aug 2026

  5. 5/5Amazing but confusing

    I’m loving it, but I’m having difficulty. Every video I export comes out as black and white even though I export through the NTSC channel. Please help!

  • 1.6

    Tons of bug fixes, UI fixes, Full Screen mode + D-MAC, D2-MAC, MUSE, and HD-MAC Four new standards covering late-1980s/early-1990s satellite and HD broadcasting. D-MAC and D2-MAC were used by BSB and European DBS services; MUSE was Japan's Hi-Vision HDTV standard; HD-MAC was the European HDTV proposal. All four render in 16:9 widescreen with accurate time-division multiplexed encoding. SECAM-L (System L) The French terrestrial variant of SECAM used on UHF channels in France until analogue switch-off. Distinct from standard SECAM in two ways: positive AM modulation (picture polarity inverted) and a wider 6 MHz luma bandwidth, which is now genuinely applied at the encode level — making SECAM-L visibly sharper than SECAM even with all processing options at their defaults. Newvicon Camera Tube A new camera tube emulation based on the Matsushita Newvicon — a ZnSe/ZnCdTe target used in 1980s consumer camcorders. It produces the characteristic comet-tail lag on bright moving objects, with earlier highlight compression and a more linear gamma response than the Vidicon. And more to come soon...

    "AnalogCam" mode where the app becomes a camera app (but still uses the full pipeline of the original). Mechanical TV to simulate TV like it was in the 1920s before electronic TVs and CRTs Added Letterboxing. So you can do 4:3, Fill, Letterbox. This helps with 16:9 and vertical videos New source "Import from Files" which allows loading and playing .mkv, .mp4 .mov and other formats Higher quality NDI input/output Feature request by u/a55p1 - Video transport: full-screen auto-hide Video transport is now also seekable Tons of performance improvements and bug fixes

  • 2.2

    We love feedback! 1) User 'Marker478' suggested adding Overscan, which we just did (check it out in the CRT section) 2) We've also added a feedback form to send anonymous (or not anonymous if you want a reply) feedback on bugs or feature requests 3) Fixed a very subtle bug to do with the magnet / degauss function which could cause a crash in rare circumstances

    What's new in 2.50 NASA Apollo television (new) Television as it actually came back from space in 1968–72 — a complete, self-contained Apollo mode reconstructed entirely in the signal domain from the primary engineering record (NASA TN D-7476, NASA TN D-6723, and the RCA Ground-Commanded Television Assembly manual). • Lunar SSTV - the lunar-surface monochrome camera: 320 lines, 10 fps progressive, ~500 kHz, with the real 409.6 kHz burst sync and a properly lockable serrated field-sync. • Field-sequential colour - the command-module/Lunar Rover colour camera: colour from a 6-segment RGB wheel spinning at 9.99 rev/s in front of a single tube (no subcarrier), recombined on the ground, with the colour band-limited to the real ~2 MHz. • Two real camera tubes - the Westinghouse SEC vidicon (sensitive, blooms, burns, with the fixed fiber-optic faceplate specks documented in TN D-7476) and the RCA SIT vidicon from the Rover (intensifier, burn-immune, cleaner, 600-line, 32 dB). • RCA ground scan converter - the optical 10->30 fps re-scan that made the slow-scan picture broadcastable, with its contrast/brightness/resolution loss and the famous white spots - plus a raw/converted toggle. • Earth–Moon distance - a distance slider that delays the live picture by the real one-way light-time (~1.28 s at the Moon) and, near lunar range, breaks into the impulsive FM-threshold "clicks" the 85-ft dishes produced below threshold (only Goldstone's 210-ft stayed above it). A "Send to the Moon" button jumps to mean distance. Black-and-white standards fixed • 405-line (System A) and 819-line now finally emit the correct broad field-sync pulse (CCIR Report 624-2, 1982). • The 819-line standard is now correctly named "System E" • 819-line horizontal sync width corrected to 2.5 µs. D2-MAC is sharp again D2-MAC now renders at full resolution, picture-identical to D-MAC. It had been sampled at half the picture rate by mistake; in reality only its sound/data is half-rate, not its picture (ETSI ETS 300 250). MUSE / Hi-Vision Static Hi-Vision scenes now reconstruct through NHK's reference-decoder filter (ITU-R BO.786) using true 4-field quincunx interleave, so still detail "focus-pumps" crisper (genuine super-resolution rather than a frame average) - while a motion detector keeps moving areas authentically soft. Pay-TV & copy protection - broader and more accurate • New: Discret 11 (Canal+) - the French terrestrial system's per-line horizontal delay, snapping to the real Canal+ sequence; sync untouched, so the picture stays locked and keeps its colour while tearing horizontally. • New: Eurocrypt / D2-MAC - component cut-and-rotate on the MAC time slots (the first non-composite scrambler in the set). • Nagravision (Syster) uses the real 32-line sliding-window shuffle (locally shredded, globally ordered) instead of a full-field scramble. • Videocrypt cut-and-rotate snaps to the real 256-step grid. • Macrovision pulse cycling is encoded into the signal with patent-verified geometry. • Video inversion now decides per-field, as the real systems did. Signal-derived audio Intercarrier "buzz" now tracks picture brightness and sync energy - bright scenes buzz louder, just like a real set. VCR Dropouts are modelled as FM carrier loss with an authentic dropout compensator (previous-line substitution), toggleable. More physics, fewer fudges • Co-channel beat and fine-tuning derive from real frequency offsets. • MAC/MUSE lines carry true duobinary/data-burst waveforms with the correct frame-sync words and clock run-in. • Colour is band-limited before time-compression, cutting false-colour shimmer on fine detail. • Portrait (rotated) camera input now band-limits along the scan line, matching landscape sharpness. Bug fixes • iOS clips no longer record silently — audio is taken from the app's output, not the microphone. • iOS auto-hides the video transport overlay during playback, matching macOS. • Many other little minor fixes Find a bug? Use in-app feedback form.
