Camera Button
I love my flashback camera, however after less than 2 years, the button has stopped functioning… I can now only take pictures with the timer function via the app. I tried all tips on forums to fix it but nothing’s worked.
Love the concept
Currently writing this review from my laptop as I got thorough my latest roll on my v2 camera. Love the concept and the execution have been getting better and better. Keep up the good work! Also, buy/shoot a film roll occasionally (note to self)
Not what I imagined
So honestly the app works ok. It connects, lets you get the photos, choose your film sim, but the issue is the camera itself.
V2 has lost the V1 magic and looks more like a bad early digicam which is not the purpose.
So much Chroma noise, a flash that blows out 90% of shots to be unusable and a team that is more bothered about posting TikTok’s every couple weeks rather than talking to their community in Discord.

Edit: iPad app is broken
I loaded my photos on my iPad since they weren’t working with my phone, but the iPad app doesn’t actually have a visible button for the lab. So they’re just stuck on my iPad, no way to develop them
Edit: nvm got the photos back and the app is dope. Still a bit of problems with the iPad app (can’t change the rendering mode) but photos are sick. Rn it’d be 4 and a half stars, but since that’s not an option I’m rounding up to 5

New update and V2 camera 👎🏼
I love this camera. I’ve had V1 and V2. I prefer my V1 but I sold it when I got my V2. I wish I kept it as I would’ve sold my V2 instead. It’s longer to wind up and the click isn’t as “natural” as the V1. Honestly made me lose interest in the camera.
The new update annoys me. The photo lab is slow and takes up battery that it doesn’t need. The app just gets slower everytime they add “cooler” things.
I love this camera. And V1 I definitely used way more. I’ve lost interest in V2. And it sucks as I am an affiliate.
I miss the OG “starting” versions of it all. Just proves sometimes upgrades are actual downgrades.

The app limits the camera quite a bit
Even though there are four different filters, the filter on my Flashback V2 is stuck on the default one. The filter will not change no matter which I select. You also cannot see what filter is currently selected. There are occasional crashing issues too. I hope they keep updating the app because the camera is fully dependent on how functional the app is.

It’s got a few bugs!
I can’t use it if the text size is too large and I can’t change the filter, there is no way to confirm it,
Issues out of the box
Straight from the box there are issues with camera not connecting. After taking full roll of photos cannot unload photos and camera will not reset back to 27. Website has no instructions or troubleshooting
Photos Black
My photos came back black and when I emailed them they just sent back a stock answer.
Amazing
This product is absolutely amazing. I have received it as a Christmas present and I’ve taken it everywhere with me since you can make it 24 hours to return a roll of film or you can make it instant so you can have instant gratification or the process of waiting it is a must have
I love my camera but…
I recently bought the V2 and it’s defective as well as the other 3 I purchased. I’ve connected support with no response. Over 3x.
My V1 was so fun and amazing. No issues. But I recently sold it to a friend and now they can’t connect it to their app. Says it’s linked to mine. There used to be an unlink option now there isn’t. He has to log into my account to upload his pics.
The app has come a long way tho.

App Crashes, slow development, v2 losing magic of V1.
The app crashes a lot. You have to manually wait for the photos to develop from your “film” and if the app closes it stops developing it. If the app crashes you have to start all over again. The app also kills battery when on and trying to develop these photos.
Secondly I bought this camera as a family member had the V1 and I loved the vibe. Unfortunately the V2 has completely lost the magic that the V1 had and now looks like a phone camera instead of the film vibe that V1 delivered. A real shame unfortunately.

Can’t run processing images in background
App is so slow, view photos .. can’t view full screen photos ughhhh. May as well go back to a traditional film camera the,
10minutors to load photos then another 20mins , close app then it restarts upload and viewing takes Nother 20minuotes .
Cute idea poorly executed, even with a shark tank investor
This is a Waste of moneys.z
Get the app right,
Then work on 2.0.
App need serious speed increase .
Loading photos once their processes in lab takes ages , should be heaps faster please work on speed and Performace updates. Thanks

Great concept - but the camera lets it down
I really wanted to like this camera, but the photos are such bad quality - even after using the “tips” sent through by Flashback.. Always blurry and overexposed..
No Flash-back
Flashback is not what the camera gives. A camera that came faulty and Flashback are unable to provide a new one within a reasonable time frame. They have asked multiple times for proof of a reset which I have done and no further action taken. No above and beyond action taken either.
Lovely camera and concept but terrible service and slow response.

Dark photos and annoying development time
I don’t love this at all. The development time is so dumb, I don’t even care about the photos after I’ve had to wait 24 hours. I think maybe 5 hours would be good so that it’s not immediate but you don’t have to wait a whole 24. I’ve also never loved any pics this camera has ever taken. If you’re not right on top of someone while using the flash the pics come out too dark to see.

Connection problems
I love the camera and the photos but my app has the hardest time connecting to the wifi and my camera. It takes so many tries to get my photos unloaded. It’s very frustrating.
Doesn’t work !!!
Seriously, brought this camera and I haven’t even been able to upload a single photo cause of connection bugs fix the damn app or give me a refund on my camera
Blown out
Used it during the day and it always blown out photos definitely not the vibe
Love it but needs work
We love this product and the fact that it’s a sustainable way to get our photos to have the developed feel. However, having to wait 24 hours, after taking forever to upload into the app has caused us to look at other options. We got real photos developed quicker than this. 2-5 hours is a great sweet spot!
