finally, soft photos!

Somewhere along the line, phone cameras became less about capturing moments and more about cramming as much detail and DATA as possible into a picture. This app brings soul and personality back to phone photography in ways that I had given up on. Every picture makes me smile.

I will mention - I’m typically more of a video guy when it comes to capturing moments, and so while I do understand the dev’s intent with this app, I would pay anything for video functionality. Absolutely anything. But thank you for creating this regardless!

Perfect when it works…

The film emulation and the quality of the images are great. The different film stocks are unique and changing settings are easy. The only downside of this app is the exposure. Whenever taking a picture for the first time opening the app, the first image comes out wayyy underexposed. It’s a little annoying and makes me check every image I take right after I take it; the exact opposite of the intention of the app. If the developer ever fixes this issue, the app will be perfect. I am rating 5 stars because I see the potential of the app and the fact that the developer appears to have made this entirely by themselves.

Buying this app saved me a LOT of money

Update… adding f stop control pushed this app over the top. Give me iso control and I’m pretty sure this is the best photo app ever.

If you can’t tell from the title, I was looking at investing in a decent camera. I’m not saying that this app makes my phone better than a decent camera.

I’m saying since getting Mood I’m having so much fun taking photos with the camera I have with me all the time… which is the feeling wanted to capture with a more expensive camera.

This app has feeling. It’s got soul and vibe. Get it.

I love this app!

This is the best analog film simulation app that I have used. So much so that I instantly paid for the lifetime access.

For the developer Alex, would you be able to consider adding a feature to add the effect to images taken with the Apple camera app? I have a number of photos that I would love to apply the effect to. Thanks!

My go to vintage camera app!

I love vintage camera apps, I’ve tried a bunch over the years. Some are really great others not so much. Mood is a great app in that regards, as it produces realistic looking vintage pics, and gives some manual control. The provided filters can be tweaked as needed, and that is really cool. I do wish however that it gave the option to import pics and apply filters. And also that it saved a copy of a pic with and without filter. Otherwise it’s a great app, with easy and quick controls. Highly recommended to anyone with a tooth for vintage photography!

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback. There's intentionally no import function. I want to encourage users to focus on taking photos than swiping through filters and obsessing over editing. It’s not for everyone, I know that, but a lot of users, including myself, find this liberating. On the occasions where a shot hasn’t come out as expected, either I appreciate it for an unexpected reason or it makes the shots that came out well that much more valuable. There are many other apps where you can import photos and edit them if you need that functionality. Thanks!

Camera bug

Focus issue with tele lens on iPhone 16 pro

Response from developer

Hi, I also have a 16 Pro and have seen the occasional weird issues with the telephoto but I don't think it is specific to mood.camera. Please get in touch with via the app so I can help.

XPro 2

I am a long time photographer and XPro2 user and I just found Mood after using many good photography apps over the years. But the color rendition and palettes on Mood are amazing! The chrome colors are spot on and the interface is clean and easy to use. I have shared the app with my wife and she is also enjoying it, her first 3rd party photo app. Lastly this is the first app that I have bought in years! Well worth the cost!

Disappointed

Can't edit photos already taken, only the ones you take from app camera directly
