### 5/5 — A great app for taking pictures with that 90s graininess to it.

*2020-12-16*

The app is really decent for the price and it isn’t buggy at all. I would like if it didn’t flip the photo if I take it in a certain angle though. I do recommend for 99 cents.

### 1/5 — Wasted my money

*2018-12-31*

For an app that’s $1.99, I really expected more. There are only 7 filters and you can only change how bright the image is. I wanted there to be many different levels of editing yet it’s the most juvenile app that I’ve bought. Please consider putting more time into developing your app so there are less people like me who were utterly disappointed in this product.

**Developer response:** Simple functions is our goal for ease of use, but we understand what you’re looking for. I’ll take this suggestion back to the team. Thank you for your review, happy New Year, and stay tuned for future enhancements. Cheers!

### 5/5 — Dexter Matthews

*2018-12-29*

**Developer response:** Thanks for staying with us from the beginning! We are working on more updates, so stay tuned!
