Easier than compressing photos after the fact. ### 5/5 — good low quality camera to help save storage *2023-04-09, version 1.4.2* our native camera app cant change resolution so every picture ends up being more than 1mb and if you take a lot of pictures this piles up this app is very good because you can take low resolution but still good quality pictures the recent updates made it even better by adding 1280*720 resolution and remembering the last used resolution ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-04-06, version 1.4.2* Does what it says, works great! Only three minute videos without paying (it’s not expensive either, $1.39 CAN now) but 3min is still pretty good. No ads, tiny size, works on old devices & iOS versions too. Excellent! ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2022-11-02, version 1.2.4* At just 8MB this app is a wonderfully refreshing respite from the bloated 100MB+ apps that you find in the App Store. The developer seems to know what they are doing and I am very grateful. It seems that I can only go as high as 640x480 for photos. I am still getting to know the app and I hope it can go a little higher, like 1024x1024. But even without it, I love this app already. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-10-27, version 1.2.4* 11 out of 10 app for y2k photography and digital primitivism! 💯💯💯Please add optional flash! 🙏 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 가로로 여러장을 찍을 때 어떤 사진은 뒤집어 지기도하고 엉망이에요. 수정해주심 좋겠어요. *2026-08-20, version 1.5.3* 가로로 여러장을 찍을 때 어떤 사진은 뒤집어 지기도하고 엉망이에요. 수정해주심 좋겠어요. ### 1/5 — No unlimited recording after paid for unlimited recording *2024-12-28, version 1.4.3* After 40 minutes of rec the application close without recording and a paid the 0.99 cents for unlimited recording ### 3/5 — 會黑屏 *2025-03-23, version 1.4.4* 用了一陣子 但是最近出現問題 螢幕會全黑 ### 3/5 — Make icons rotate when switching to and from landscape *2024-09-20, version 1.4.3* This app lost out to the LOWER app because this one has a shorter record time before upgrading and the icons don’t rotate to verify you’re in landscape. ### 3/5 — Why do I Have to keep restoring purchases? *2024-06-25, version 1.4.3* The free version limits recording time to 3 minutes. I upgraded it and tried it. It worked. The second video I took cut me off at 3:00 and I missed my recording opportunity! I restored purchases again and took another long video. Without closing the app I started to record another event. It cut me off again at 3:00. What gives? The app does make manageable file sizes and saves steps and data. However, I’d like the developer to make purchases more permanent. Restoring purchases EVERY TIME I shoot a new recording is reason enough for me not to use this app. I will choose a more reliable recording method in the future. ### 3/5 — Handy *2023-04-30* I set this to 720HD resolution so that I can save time uploading pictures to job server while using mobile data. It is a simple camera, which is all that I want. One thing I don’t like about it is the camera snap sound. I wish this could be disabled. **Developer response:** The snap sound could be disabled by setting the device into Silent mode. Thanks for using Lo-Fi Cam and your feedback. ### 3/5 — Not blurry enough *2022-05-24, version 1.2.4* no. ### 4/5 — GOOD BUT *2025-11-29, version 1.5.1* There is a bug that causes the shutter to be released the moment the app is opened. ### 4/5 — Please make 12 and 16 frames per second *2022-08-03, version 1.2.4* Also the jello effect and super high compression This app is the best way to preserve memories ### 5/5 — Works great *2026-07-27, version 1.5.3* I often have to upload pictures for work and cell service makes it really irritating. This was exactly what I needed, thanks ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bug, please fix *2026-07-19, version 1.5.3* 2026 July, UPDATE- Some functions have stopped working such as GPS tagging. "Restore purchase" acknowledges that I have purchased the feature but it won't toggle on. PREVIOUS- If you don't need/want modern iPhone HD supersized 4K theater quality blah blah blah photo/video giant files, this is the recording app you're looking for. Simple well laid out user interface, just a camera that you can set the quality/file output size of. Works like you would expect a digital camera to. GPS tagging on your media is an added feature for .99¢. No ads. Nothing weird. If you're taking quick photos to have a visual journal, get this app. ✌️😌🖖 ### 5/5 — Long recording error *2026-01-21, version 1.5.3* Have no idea why but my attempts to record 1hr long session failed twice already. Is there any hack to record looong? ### 5/5 — Controllable? *2025-11-26, version 1.5.1* Would the camera have an option to manually take a picture instead of automatically take a pic instantly when touching the app? ### 5/5 — Great app! :) *2025-11-09, version 1.5.0* Its very simple and does exactly what its supposed to do! It’s not bloated with any vain functions or annoying ads and the feature add-ons that you can buy to support the active devs are fairly priced! ### 5/5 — Volume Buttons can’t use 音量不能觸發快門 *2025-11-07, version 1.5.0* Volume Buttons can’t use to take a photo 😓 iPhone XR 音量鍵不能拍照 ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-11-04, version 1.5.0* Higher resolution for less storage space than similar apps. Viewer is nice too. Lens info is there in Photos. Well done, thanks! I’ll be buying (I did) the IAP. Which includes location, if you use that. Edit: this is a request. Sorry to post here, couldn’t find any contact. For many pictures, I have to tilt manually (horizontal/vertical), which doesn’t happen that much with the iOS Camera app. Can that be fixed? It’still worth it 100%. Probably the app I use the most. And it’s easier to tilt with HashPhotos btw. But a fix would be very appreciated. And your other apps look cool too! ### 5/5 — Great camera app for taking low resolution photo *2025-08-24, version 1.4.4* Great camera app for taking low resolution photos while maintaining good image quality ! Another plus is that it includes Geo tagging. One suggestion is for this app to default to x1 zoom, or has a memory and keep last use setting. Currently it always default to x2 zoom setting upon opening the app, which is inconvenient. ### 5/5 — Works as advertised 👍👍 *2024-02-26* If you don't need/want modern iPhone HD supersized 4K theater quality blah blah blah photo/video giant files, this is the recording app you're looking for. Simple well laid out user interface, just a camera that you can set the quality/file output size of. Works like you would expect a digital camera to.

Lens info is there in Photos. Well done, thanks! I’ll be buying the IAP. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
