5/5Exactly What I Needed
As a professional stylist and photographer, workflow efficiency is a must for me. When shooting on my main Fuji rig, film simulations ease the navigation of edits — especially when I’m working a bigger job. The editing routine is time consuming and some times you just want to have your photos done and ready to go. When shooting on iPhone, things should inherently be more simple. Before it would take 1-5 minutes to edit a photo through DarkRoom, Lightroom, VSCO, etc. to balance some of the colors and shadows. With RitchieCam, I have cut out so much time and can simply focus on blemishes. It fulfills the same job of film sims and keeps me in the moment when I’m shooting. This is a minimal app for phone and camera shooters who know exactly what they’re looking for in a shot. I can’t recommend it enough — even in its earliest stages. As for the $9.99 per year subscription, that’s much more bearable that having to pay it monthly. Do it, use it, and the return on purchase will be well worth it.

5/5Amazing Film Emulation
This camera app has blown me away. The film emulation is beautiful and has allowed me to leave my Fuji x100v at home and just shoot with this app when I don’t want to carry around the extra weight. I can’t wait to see where the developers take this in the future. Definitely worth the 9.99$ a year subscription as long as future updates will be included with the price. Thanks for this great app and keep up the good work!

5/5Best film sim camera app out there
I’ve been through a large majority of the film apps on iOS and pretty much promptly deleted them for various reasons. Poor UI, poor quality, sims look like curated insta and Snapchat filters, ridiculous paywalls, excessive ads and popups etc etc. This apps is much more streamlined and the sims are modeled after actual film and look accurate. The free version may only have a couple of available sims but at least there’s no ads! For me, the subscription service was a no brainer. Not sure why people are complaining about $10 a year. That’s less than a dollar a month for something that will continually receive updates and become more refined as time goes on. Cheers JD

5/5Best Film Simulation on iOS
I have tried a few other apps that provide some sort of film simulation on iOS. A few require adding those filters in post while some just dont give the results I was expecting. This is by far the best and the easiest to use. You just have to worry about the composition and the app does the rest. The photos come out really good.

5/5XPan in your pocket
I’m a voracious XPan photographer who just loves the 24x65 aspect ratio. And on the rare occasion when I don’t have that exotic beast over my shoulder, I reach for RitchieCam. The film simulations are excellent, and I’m sure there’s plenty of depth to the app I’ve yet to explore. But the XPan mode alone is worth the price of admission (and a subscription). Thanks for your excellent work — the smash hit podcast I Dream of Cameras loves your app!
