5/5Best filters!
I’ve been using this app for about 2 years now and I love it! I have the paid version which is just $5 a year and it’s so worth it. There are so many filter options to choose from and I especially like the options to add “glitch” and grain to photos. These filters help give IG photos a nice aesthetic. I would highly recommend it! My only gripe is that the filters are labeled with a letter and number like “B21” so it’s hard to remember which filter I used last especially because there are many options. It would be GREAT if there were a way to save my favorite filters and settings for future photos. Other than that, this app is my fav! Thanks to the developers!

1/5A SCAM. Don’t bother.
From the other comments it’s obvious that the free trial is sneaky and dishonest. I’m not someone who purchases free trials for the sake of it. if I see the value in an app, I will make the purchase willingly. But I didn’t get what I expected out of it. this app offers no flexibility in that you can’t even adjust the filters. For example if you don’t like how strong a filter is or you want to remove the dust from the photo, you can’t do that. Filter options are limited. For an app that is $10 surely I thought I’d get more value than this. There are free apps that do more. To make things worse. The free trial is a scam and after realizing in 1 day that I didn’t like the app, they made it impossible to cancel so it’s day 2 and I’m stuck having to pay for an app you don’t even want! Yes I followed all instructions given on how to cancel, and it does not work! Retrocam please do better. If you care at all about rapport or building an actual customer base, read these reviews and make something shake. I want my money back and I’more than dissatisfied.

5/5Love this app
I really love this app! It has all of the signature retro effects I like to use on my photos. I especially like all of the filters, effects, and date stamps. Everything is very customizable so you can tweak anything to exactly how you want it. You do have to pay for some of the good features, but it’s only $20 a year which is extremely reasonable compared to a lot of apps asking $5-$10 A WEEK! I will happily support this dev team as they have created a truly wonderful app. Thank you so much!!

4/5RETROCAM REVIEW
A Great imaging app for light & dimension. However, there are a few serious issues; 1) when choosing a frame for an image, there is currently no way to “rotate” the image if it’s not saved in the correct ratio. This needs to be handled ASAP, it’s beyond basic, that you need to be able to rotate your image, or rotate the frame to fit the correct W X H dimensions. 2) Frames should have at least 3 choices that are “transparent film”. Lose the cheesy ones, and make some great transparent/white frames—FRAMES should have color and opacity controls. The App has the makings of a great foundational mobile imaging tool. Please give serious users more control, and options, and you’ll have a jewel on your hands! For awesome frames done right see LUMZO

4/5Great app! (Except for 2 things)
I really enjoy using this app! But 2 problems I have with it keep it from being my go-to editing app: 1) I can’t use it if I’m not connected to Wi-Fi 2) I can’t choose to remove the date from the preset theme the way it allows me to remove the dust, light, or frame. If I don’t want a date (and I don’t 99.9% of the time), I have to cycle through the randomly generated changes of a theme to find one that doesn’t have a date even though I may have preferred another except for the date. Fix those things and I’ll be using this app A LOT more!!
