### 1/5 — Annoying

*2019-12-04*

You can’t upload your own pictures, what did I just pay .99 cents for?

### 1/5 — Randomness

*2019-09-07*

I hate the randomness of the camera. What if you are not a fan of the sepia or black and white features? Please fix it. A little control is not bad. Plus even back then you knew what kind of film you loaded in your camera. So this randomness is strange and annoying.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-06-29*

This app is terrible I paid .99 for the add on &s nothing even happens they just take your money and why is the camera so small I can’t see a thing worst app in the world.

### 1/5 — scam

*2019-06-06*

this is scam

### 1/5 — App charged me without permission

*2019-05-27*

I used this app once to test it out and the next morning I got an email saying my account had been charged to remove the ads, which I did not authorise at all. I didn’t even like the camera, yet alone paying to have the ads removed

### 1/5 — Restoring

*2019-04-17*

I have already made a purchase to remove ads!, Now after I reset my phone and redownloaded your app I have to pay again!??!

### 1/5 — Läuft nicht.

*2019-03-06*

Zusatzfunktion gekauft, aber nichts funktioniert 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄

### 1/5 — Good filter but

*2019-01-01*

This has a good filter but I can’t get the camera to go full screen which is so frusterating! How am I supposed to take a pic in that tiny camera?!

### 1/5 — 🤨🤨

*2018-11-12*

So in order to save my photos I have to upgrade which cost $0.99...

### 1/5 — Unpraktisch mit dem Sucher

*2018-07-25*

Nervige Werbung

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-12-09*

So good

### 5/5 — Oooooof

*2018-08-19*

Lotta

### 4/5 — Pretty cool

*2019-03-11*

I love taking photos and seeing the outcome of my photos. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is I can’t find out how to save the photos. They automatically save into an album on the app, but I mean directly into my camera roll. Let me know if you can help!

### 3/5 — Idk how to feel

*2025-12-14*

I saw it on Pinterest and I wanted to check it out and uh it asked me for my camera and it only said don’t allow that’s it and I kept refreshing and it still didn’t let me, scaryyyyyy jk it’s not scary

### 3/5 — Front Facing Selfies?

*2020-02-18*

How do I access the front facing camera and pull the viewfinder into full screen?

### 3/5 — It’s a great app, but...

*2019-12-30*

I’m having issues when saving images. When I click the “save” button, my phone goes idle. The image downloads, but in order for me to download another image I have to exit out the app and go back in. Very time consuming if you have up to 10 images.

### 3/5 — Great App. But UPDATE!

*2018-12-05*

Love the app, great effects. Been using it for a few months now. Needs updates. When saving a photo it takes too long and it saves two photos instead of one. Maybe few more filters? Would give it 5 stars, until the maker decides to update the features it would be 3 stars.
