What's New in 1 Hour Photo

User reviews

Incredible Photo App

“Simple, yet significant.” The 1 Hour Photo app is a wonderful departure from the fast, instantaneous and ultimately hollow experience that the speed of the normal camera app offers. Waiting an hour makes me appreciate the photos so much more, because usually I’m looking at them days later. There’s a sense of memory that’s baked in, something I can’t alter and only exists once. It’s the closest feeling to printing out film photos I can think of. A true gem of an app.

Great app - love the delay

I really like the delay this app makes you have between photos. It makes you think about framing and shooting more given there is no immediate feedback.

The only thing that would make it better is to be able to use the multiple lens options on the iPhone 15

Magnifique

J’ai cette app depuis des années et puis elle n’etait plus compatible avec mon nouvel iphone. J’ai le plaisir de la retrouver, elle est juste magnifique !
Milles merci quel plaisir de l’utiliser.
Par contre un outil retardateur serait super svp

Don’t match my requirements

I think it’s fake

One important change to be made.

I think the app and service should not only give the user an edited photo after one hour, but also the original version of that photo alongside the edited version. Sometimes the filters or edits applied aren't as good or aren't anything like what the user wants.
