  1. 5/5Serves a good purpose.

    So I’m used to the old school Polaroid where you just took the picture or figure out the best light or way to take the picture. I only had the the one touch 600 so at the time my options where limited. But now with this app and the Polaroid app it has kinda turned the Polaroid into a digital camera. I like the features and the tripod and timer functions and the aperture option and also tells you if it’s too far or too dark or says the picture is ok. Kinda takes the skill of photography away unlike the old Sx-70 camera days. But the app serves a purpose and I like it. Polaroid if your reading this bring back the SPECTRA FILM. I know it’s old and the equipment to make it is no longer available. You started off as the “impossible project” make it happen.

  2. 3/5New iPhone cameras ruined this app

    I used to love this app a couple of years ago, but am sad to find out it’s another one of those affected by the trouble the newer pro max models are having with cameras focusing. I am so frustrated by whatever kink Apple did not work out with the device being able to choose between camera lenses to focus correctly on the subject. Can barely take a photo of a piece of paper anymore without total blur because “i’m too close” I guess. Same problem here. Camera wants to use regular lense to scan but when asked to get closer, iPhone camera completely blurs and obscures the photo creating a horrible scan. Wish Polaroid could find a fix to get the zoom lense to kick in when bringing camera closer for newest phones. Not sure what to do. I have a 14 pro max for reference, wish I had an older model.

  3. 5/5Remote capture does not work with one step+ on iPhone 15 pro max on the latest build of iOS 26.

    The camera communicates with the app and pairs but the button for capture is unable to be pressed as silly as that sounds. I tried it on a friends 16 pro max on the same iOS build and it works. Also works on Mac just fine but not on my phone, I restored my phone just in case me running previous betas was causing it but no. Please look at this issue because it’s frustrating.

  4. 4/5this app is amazing. but one flaw.

    i’ve used this app many a many of times in the past along with my wonderful polaroid go. and i don’t know how it’s so good with scanning photos but they always come back like i professionally scanned them this app is great. but only thing id change is to have polaroids products as a store in the app instead of it taking me to their website. i feel like it’d be so much easier and safer making film purchases IN the app instead of online over whatever wifi your using

  5. 4/5Too dark..

    I like this camera a lot but the lighting is tricky to get a perfect shot.. I hate that it depends on what kind of film ur using also.. the film isn’t cheap so why can’t they all b of good quality so I can get my money’s worth..? When I do get a good shot I love it but it takes time n lighting to do that.. I just wana hurry n capture the moment but hard with this camera.. other instant cameras I have can do that for me with a diff setting.. I love how its old school remade but needs better options but also easy ones to get that perfect pic.. oh n more Bluetooth options like seeing what my One Step + is seeing thru my phone to get that perfect pic without guessing.. maybe I need to study my camera more but I shouldn’t have to.. rt..?
