  1. 5/5best lofi camera app

    The aesthetic, fast, reliable and human customer support. It’s not just some IG filters disguised as a camera app; its actually like having a early 2k digital camera on your phone. Don’t look any further for this vibe, nothing else comes close.

  2. 5/5Y2K AF

    Literally the best app for lofi grainy digicam shots without needing to lug around extra equipment on the daily and the dev is always updating with new features! 💙

  3. 4/5Very cool

    Well made app with easy to understand user interface. The amount of customization per filters is what I look for. Only complaint I have is that for my app/ version at least; I am not able to utilize my camera flash on the different zoom levels. The camera freezes completely if I try to use it on any other zoom level besides 1x. Bug? Maybe, Or intentional? I would doubt that. Other than that which I hope you can fix, it’s pretty cool.

  4. 4/5Ok

    The camera and settings are great, but i purchased the app with the impression that you could edit photos in your gallery, it’s on me for assuming but I’m surprised that there isn’t an option to. Everything else is great and there are lots of settings and modes to play with!

  5. 4/5Just a suggestion

    I love this app so much I use it for everything. However my only complaint is that when I press the shutter button it doesn’t have much of an indicator that the photo was taken. Not by any means a deal breaker, but I have missed a couple shots cause I thought I had taken photos I hadn’t cause no indicator.

  • 2.0

    Introducing CoreCam 2.0 with Video Mode. VIDEO MODE Switch to video mode with a single tap and capture footage with your virtual digicam. CoreCam is the only app that also adapts your recording's audio profile to simulate the authentic microphone quality of the y2k era. Video mode is included as a free update; no In-App Purchase needed. LENS SWITCHING CoreCam 2.0 features a completely rebuilt camera backend that significantly improves performance and reduces battery consumption. If your iPhone has multiple lenses, you can now switch between them. The zoom functionality is also crisper and sharper than before.

  • 2.0.1

  • 2.0.10

    This update fixes a bug that caused the torch to freeze the camera preview when using different lenses. Thank you for your support!

  • 2.0.2

    CoreCam has been updated for iOS 26. You'll see new Liquid Glass–based interactions where they make sense. Performance on older devices has also been improved.

  • 2.0.3

    NEW: Video Stabilization. Choose from three stabilization modes for steadier shots; or keep it off for full flip phone realism.

  • 2.0.4

    NEW: lo-res mode The new lores mode allows you to virtually downscale CoreCam’s image sensor to any size between 0.3 MP, VGA 640, and 144p webcam levels. It works with all cameras, including video and selfie mode. CoreCam remains a one-time purchase. Thank you for supporting independent iOS development!

  • 2.0.5

    CoreCam can now remember your exposure settings across startups; which means 2 taps less for low-exposure lovers. PS: Next major update is in progress!

  • 2.1.1

    NEW: Introducing [seele] camera! [seele] is an homage to the soul of early 2000s digicams and camera phones, the Cyber-shot and RAZR era. It has two different characters you can dial in using the main bias slider. In positive bias, seele produces a strong bloom that drifts into cyan hues. Highlights become overexposed, while shadows stay dark. This mode is ideal for artificial lights and night scenes. In negative bias, you'll get strong chroma noise and compression artefacts. As the simulation falls apart and reveals its digital core, you'll see fixed pattern noise and false colour appear. This mode is perfect for busy city scenes, flash portraits, and even nature photography. BAYER (new special effects mode) seele comes with a faithful simulation of a Bayer colour filter array and a fast demosaic reconstruction. When enabled via the star icon, high-detail regions begin to break: moiré, false colour, and zippered edges will appear. TIPS: - Try seele with low exposure: tap a bright area in your viewfinder. The amount of light hitting the sensor changes how strong the bloom becomes - Combine negative bias with the lo-res mode (set low) for a more realistic noise texture - When using seele in negative bias mode, make sure to set video quality to "high", else the encoder will eat up your noise texture!
