LOL. ### 4/5 — Dear ugly *2019-10-22* It’s bad ### 3/5 — Outdated Player *2019-04-14, version 2.0* Now this app would get a 4 or 5 star if it didn’t have a outdated player. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2016-03-22, version 2.0* Never seen an app like this. Works fast, the videos are funny ### 4/5 — Not bad! *2016-03-22, version 2.0* It's an unusual idea but could be designed better ### 4/5 — Fantastic pictures but freezes *2016-03-19, version 2.0* Overall, it takes great pictures, and I love the vintage filters but it freezes up when you try to open it and when you change the filter. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2016-03-19, version 2.0* This app is for those guys who want 90th back. Good effects, simple interface. I like ### 4/5 — OK app *2016-03-18, version 2.0* It's so cool to record a retro-styled video! It reminds me of my childhood, when I watched films on dirty tapes. It works like a charm! ### 4/5 — Good *2016-03-18, version 2.0* It's a cool app. There is not a lot of things to do but you can have fun for a while making horror movies. It's very easy and looks quite real. ### 4/5 — That's really funny *2016-03-18, version 2.0* Some visual and sound effects don't look real though other ones helped me to cheat my friends. They looked really scared when saw my family videos and photos.

Cool idea. The menu is simple and intuitive. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-03-16, version 2.0* Oh really awesome idea. It's not necessary to watch stupid films, cuz they are boring. It's much better to record my own video. There're a lot of things need to be improved, but very good start, keep up ### 5/5 — Must have *2016-03-16, version 2.0* The screenshots of the app are like a horror movie. Extremely realistic effects and an overall great app. ### 4/5 — Like it! *2016-03-16, version 2.0* My best friend loves horror movies and scary images. When I saw this app, I made a video and sent it her immediately. So she liked. She downloaded the App too. Now we exchange ours scary videos just for a joke. The application is easy with accessible interface for novice, so it is a pleasure to do little videos in the horror style. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — FAKE *2023-04-16, version 2.0* My Older Brother Kept Pranking Me With That App And ITS SO ANNOYING ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-09-25, version 2.0* I got this app to make a backrooms video and when I tried to open it it kicked me out instantly.
