I have to keep redownloading it ### 4/5 — Algo le pasa al audio *2025-12-30, version 1.1.1* Me gusta mucho pero antes grababa súper claro el audio y ahora tiene un leve ruido de fondo pero ya comprobé que solo es en esta app ): ### 5/5 — Chévere *2025-06-21, version 1.1.1* Esta App es del Justin Bieber que yo recuerde porque agregó esta opción en Shots ### 5/5 — 80s *2025-06-20, version 1.1.1* I love it good 80s or 90s VHS app ### 5/5 — Ótimo o app *2025-06-11, version 1.1.1* Gostei muito pois dá para gravar várias coisa adorei o app ### 5/5 — 조아요.... 다시다운받을수있응때까지 기다렷어요 ㅠㅠ..... 절대 지우지않을 어플..!.. 존재만 해다오 ㅠ *2025-05-28, version 1.1.1* 영원히 존재하먄좋겟는 어플 1순위,, 어플리뷰 첨써봅니당 ㅠ ### 3/5 — it was good, but where’s the tracking? *2025-05-01, version 1.1.1* So I don’t get Rarevision because I don’t have money. 😔 So I got Camcorder before, but there’s no tracking like Rarevision. :/ can you fix this?? ### 5/5 — 좋아요! *2025-04-28, version 1.1.1* 저번에 앱 다운로드 하려고 했는데 안되서 아까웠어요, 근데 오늘 앱 보니까 있어서 바로 다운했습니다!! 옛날 감성 너무좋아용 ### 5/5 — Camcorder app *2023-10-13, version 1.1.1* I use this app for my freelance video projects. I enjoy it! It’s the best app so far. ### 4/5 — Great, just needs a pause button when recording *2023-09-30, version 1.1.1* Lovely app otherwise! ### 4/5 — 満足 *2023-09-18, version 1.1.1* いろんなやつを試したけど、完全無料でこのクオリティは凄い。 1つわがまま言えば、映像が白っぽぽくなるのを設定で変えれるようにしてほしい。このままでもいいけど、いろんな画質を楽しみたいね ### 5/5 — epic *2023-07-21, version 1.1.1* very good ### 4/5 — It should take pictures *2023-07-20, version 1.1.1* I think that this app is cool I love putting the 90’s effect on my skate videos. But the only thing I wish it did as take pictures to. I think it’s a great way to make your videos look retro, but it would be an even better app if it took pictures. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2023-07-09, version 1.1.1* I’m glad I found this app- I’ve been going to Best Buy and Walmart looking for a camcorder / VHS type of vibe but couldn’t find it. The quality is good, and I like that it automatically saves to your phone! No glitches so far!! Worth it! ### 5/5 — Good *2023-04-13, version 1.1.1* It’s really good for a free app. I recommend it as a starter for this genre film. ### 5/5 — Works well in 2023 *2023-04-13, version 1.1.1* Recommended! ### 5/5 — Good but wish you could change the date and time *2023-04-11, version 1.1.1* Really good but please add a feature where you can change the date/time ### 5/5 — Never change!!!!! *2023-04-11, version 1.1.1* I’ve had this app for about 1 year. Ive planned to keep it as a video diary for the future! ❤️❤️ amazing app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I NEED TO CHANGE THE DATE!!! *2023-06-02, version 1.1.1* THIS APP WONT CHANGE THE DATE ### 1/5 — Doesn’t look good. Rarevision app is better. *2022-07-19, version 1.1.1* Download the Rarevision VHS app instead. It looks way better then this. This looks fake and cheap. ### 1/5 — Looks nothing like a vhs recording *2021-08-25, version 1.1.1* This sucked. ### 1/5 — Not what I was wanting *2020-12-13, version 1.1.1* I really want an app that has camcorder features, such as starting and stopping video recording, and having the result combined into a single video of however long I want (e.g. half an hour recorded throughout a vacation). But this app just records little videos just like the native video app. Plus it adds ‘noise’ effects and a date, which on my old camcorder I wouldn’t get! I think for most people this would be the wrong choice ### 1/5 — .. *2020-07-06, version 1.1.1* ليتني ما حملته🦥 ### 1/5 — Price *2020-04-11, version 1.1.1* Why does the importing your own videos cost money? I’ve seen this with every other top-rated VHS filter app.. 😕 ### 1/5 — Не работает *2020-02-29, version 1.1.1* Приложение не работает, переустановка не помогает Загружаешь видео, но дальше ничего не происходит В самой проге видео тоже не снимает ### 1/5 — Não salva *2019-05-31, version 1.1.1* Tentei por quatro vezes gravar um video. Ai encerrar ele automaticamente mostra uma mensagem de video salvo, mas nenhum apareceu na galeria. Perdi todos. ### 1/5 — . *2019-05-18, version 1.1.1* حلو تصويرو وكل شي بس جدًا سيء في نقطة الاكاونت والحفظ يعني ياريت يكون فيه حساب وتسجيل دخول بحيث انو الvideo مايروح عليك لو غيرت الجهاز او لو سويت فورمات، تكون فيديوهاتك محفوظه في اكاونتك الي سجلت فيه ### 1/5 — 환불 *2018-06-21, version 1.1.1* 무료인줄알앗는데 설치햇다가 바루 지웟아요 환불좀요 구매내역도 삭제좀요 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-20, version 1.1.1* Makes dream like places feel old ### 5/5 — 다시 사용 가능해서 너무 좋아요 *2026-06-16, version 1.1.1* 진짜 잘쓰던 어플인데 갑자기 사용 불가하다고 떠서 슬픔을 뒤로하고 삭제 눌렀는데ㅜㅜ 여행을 앞두고 캠코더 어플 검색해보니 다시 다운 되네요ㅜㅜ 너무 감사합니다 이거 쓰면 주변에서 대체 어떤 어플이냐고 많이 물어봐요 캠코더 비싸게 안줘도 캠코더 감성 쌉가능 ㅠ 감사합니다 정말 ### 5/5 — Most practical app ever. *2026-06-13, version 1.1.1* That fact that this app is free is amazing. It doesn’t over complicate anything, it just lets you record retro style and sends it right to your camera roll. Love it. Takes me back to my childhood home videos in the 90s. Well done! ### 5/5 — This thing is awesome *2026-05-08, version 1.1.1* Me and my little brother just found this and he wanted to film a backrooms esc video and it’s been fun! ### 5/5 — VHS *2026-03-28, version 1.1.1* VHS GOOD ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-12-19, version 1.1.1* It’s really good ### 5/5 — 다시 다운되네요 너무 좋아요ㅠㅠ *2025-09-21, version 1.1.1* 진짜 오랫동안 쓰던거였는데 어느날 안되서 슬펐지만 어플 안지우고 그냥 두고있었는데 다시 다운되네요! 감사합니다ㅠㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — Заебумба *2025-08-28, version 1.1.1* Все классно, молодцы!!!! ### 5/5 — ✨✨✨✨ *2025-08-17, version 1.1.1* Easy to use, easy to save the videos.
