## What is Filmlike Camera?

◆◆◆ Now Supports Video Recording! ◆◆◆

■ Capture the Look of Real Analog Film

Filmlike brings the rich colors, warmth, and texture of analog film to your photos. The 28 filters included across 7 filter sets combine beautifully with film effects to create deep, nostalgic images that feel just like real film photography. You can also explore new styles with our limited-time collaboration filters.

■ Choose from Three Modes to Match Any Situation - New

Enjoy applying filters to photos you take or import in Normal Mode. Or focus entirely on shooting with Auto Save Mode, which automatically saves photos with real-time filters applied.

And now, you can finally record videos with your favorite Filmlike filters!

■ Create an Even More Vintage Look with Filter Editing

In Normal Mode, you can fine-tune the intensity of both filters and film effects after applying them. Film effects combine grain and blur to recreate the look of aged film and nostalgic photography.

■ Date Stamps and Initial Stamps

Customize the date and format of your date stamp to make photos look like they were taken years ago. You can also personalize your photos with the newly added Initial Stamp feature. Both stamps are easy to configure and can be accessed directly from the filter screen.

### 5/5 — Better than any other film effects I’ve tried so far

*2026-06-19, version 3.0*

I admit that I am getting pretty tired of countless similar apps that require an in app purchase to either unlock additional content, remove ads and/or watermarks, or lure me into a subscription where I can have full functionality for only a month, so when I found Filmlike and its one-time payment of just $0.99, I rejoiced. 

But this isn’t the first app I bought from this awesome developer; it started with his photo date stamp that quite convincingly emulates the classic date stamp fonts that have been available in higher-end 35mm cameras made since 1985. The Filmlike City series was the first bundle I’d ever bought on the App Store, and the four city-based filter collections definitely do not disappoint me. And so, the original Filmlike app was a great way to complete my collection of 35mm filters. I’m very pleased with the overall ease of use for all six apps in the Filmlike series.

10/10 is my final score. 👍

Update 6/19/2026: With the recent addition of video recording support, Filmlike just got a lot more useful for me. Thank you so much for this wonderful addition! 😁

### 3/5 — Nice filters, needs update to fix bug

*2025-07-20*

Well, I have to say I love everything about this app and all of the filters that offers with a one time payment, I do think it could use some user interface updates that would make it easier and more efficient when used. The real main problem is the fact that there is no save button once you found the filter you want to apply to your photo. You’re able to change the intensity of the film effect and filter, but once you do that and click the check button, all it does is save the settings that you chose and bring you back to the main filter tab that you were in. It takes a lot of random clicking on the bottom of the photo in order to have the image saved to camera roll. So while I love the artistic aspect of this app, I think the developer should go back and create an easier way to save the photos . For now, it is a major headache. If it weren’t for this, I would give it 5 stars

**Developer response:** Hello chlur,
After extensive testing, we have confirmed that this issue has been resolved.
Please try using the app again and let us know if the issue persists.
Thank you.

### 4/5 — Save Button works (but is invisible)

*2025-05-24*

This is a great no-nonsense film camera app. One of the best ones I've come across! But strangely, I noticed that the "Save button" is invisible. The invisible button is on the bottom right of each pic (besides the filter edit toggle) Although the pic gets saved in the phone once you click on that area where the button is placed, it's quite a silly technical bug. I urge the developer to fix this bug at the earliest. I would've rated the app 5 stars otherwise.
