A average 8-bit camera.

Honestly, I love old tech and low res graphics. And this reminds me of that. I used it for portraits mainly, but sometimes I can use it for aesthetic or to play around when I’m bored. Only problem is that color cost money. And they don’t have a zoom feature also. And if they add zoom then PLEASE DON’T make it cost something, as it’s ridiculous, especially paying for color is ridiculous. But overall, great app!

супер но

супер но сделайте возможность отключить звук, очень громкий. и непонятно что за зеленая лампочка вибрирует в углу ..

Response from developer

Спасибо за ваш отзыв! Зелёный индикатор — это чисто косметический элемент, напоминающий индикатор дисковода на старых компьютерах Macintosh. Мы работаем над обновлением, которое позволит отключать такие функции, как звук и индикатор. Следите за новостями!

New update seemingly broke color mode in Photos edit widget

After working great for many years and retroactively scanning photos I took with my SLR into 8-bit glory, the app kept asking me to install color graphics in the Photos edit mode. Color works fine when taking pictures still, just not for altering existing photos. I can still save black & white scans from the edit widget.

Thanks for reporting this bug, and sorry for the inconvenience! It should now be fixed in the 1.0.6 update. Don’t hesitate to reach out at contact@heliographe.net for support in the future. Cheers!

Perfect

I don’t think I can put into words the little tickle in my heart I get when I see the color photos taken with this app. It’s not a filter. You can zoom in and see all the chunky little bits of color making up the image and that alone is worth 10x the price I paid.

Love this camera

It’s fun. Thank you.

Mostly good

Images are saved with incorrect rotation attributes. The iOS photo gallery glitches with this.

Edit: Fixed with the disk drive update!

Fun retro camera

If you enjoy dithering and one-bit graphics, this is a great app for it! Characteristic of any Iconfactory app it is well-designed and well-executed. The theming is really fun.

The only thing it’s missing which I’d like to see is the ability to adjust the brightness threshold (or the pre-dithering exposure level). Sometimes it would be nice to tweak the process a bit to make the image look better.

p.s. I was tickled to see this app finally updated after six years, so here, have a review! :)

Hahaha I love you folks so much!

See you in seven years, indeed. Here’s to that!

Fun!

Old school Mac users or even Gameboy camera fans will love this I think.

Give it a try, it’s definitely a fun way to take pics

please update

rotates imagine

Will there ever be an update

After 4 years, will there ever be an update?

As a camera, it’s great!

This the exact effect I want to achieve, and it has a cool simple / retro interface, but I wanted to use the effect on images in my camera roll and was disappointed to see there is no import function. Maybe they’re trying to stay authentic to the simplicity of retro technology, but it’s frustrating that there are no other apps that achieve the same affect with imported images.

I wanna send you a donat 💸

Cool app, but buggy.

App freezes after you share to someone. Bad experience given I’ve paid for the color version. If you’re gonna make a user pay, whatever is in the app better be flawless.

Turn

Why does the picture turn sideway when saved in photo album and can’t get it to turn upright

Edit existing photo?

I do laser engraving and this app would make it easy

But unfortunately it doesn’t let you edit existing photos

Update: fantastic and the best results of any dither app on the App Store, please continue to support this program as it will help my business as well!

Response from developer

You can, but it's kinda hidden away! In the Photos app, select a photo and then Edit. In the ... menu, pick More and select BitCam in suggestions. Use Edit on that screen if you want to add BitCam to the editing choices permanently. Enjoy!

Error con iOS 13

Desde que actualicé a iOS 13, al guardar las fotos (pulsando el botón del disquete), las guarda volteadas y recortadas.

Hay que corregirlas en el editor nativo de fotos, pero es algo que antes no pasaba y afecta la experiencia.

De ahí en más, buena app! 👍

Simple Digital Nostalgia

Superb little camera app that brings back the feeling of photos on a classic 16-bit Mac. Even the interface and sounds are fun and bring you back in time.

For the people asking to be able to import photos, it actually includes a plugin for the Photos app so you can apply the dithering effects to your existing photos. Or just snap a picture directly within BitCam then save it to your camera roll using an effect.

The app is very functional even without the color in-app purchase so give it a try! The $2.79 color option is well worth it in my opinion, I bought it to support the Iconfactory.

*LOVE* this app, but it needs an update!

The folks at Iconfactory are the best (if you’re a Mac-using artist or designer, you *must* check out XScope!). This is such a great app, but it hasn’t been updated in 2 years+!! Can you please update it for the iPhone X & Xs screens, at least? Pretty please??

Please note: I haven’t even marked down your rating in an attempt to force you to do my bidding! 🤪

[Seriously though, keep up all your awesome work. I just downloaded Linea Sketch for my new 11-inch iPad Pro, too.]
