Worth it

This app has been all but worth it to me. Genuinely these presets are gorgeous and really easy to use, so if you’re a person simply wanting amazing and easy to use to “film”, I really recommend this app. Of course there could be more control of what you can and can’t do but since it’s launch it has never failed me. Constantly bringing updates and for the price?? 15 dollars for a lifetime membership, is by far the best market value in my opinion. I hope this app one day grows even more than what it is now.

Best point n shoot app

Amazing features, filters, and customizations.

Incredible colour and texture

Mood really nails the colour of that filmic look. It consistently give you that natural and moody look that honestly no other apps are able to deliver!

What I’ve been looking for

I switched from a pixel to an iPhone expecting a better stock camera experience and was sorely disappointed with the spray-tanned orange skin tones and over-sharpened photos that the iPhone produces. Mood has fixed that. It makes the iPhone camera system shine by putting the control over the look of iPhone photos back into your hands in a very sensible way that eliminates the need for post-editing. Love the whole philosophy behind Mood camera.

My favorite camera app!

I’ve been using this for a while now and I’m super happy to have paid the one time forever fee. I use this more than my native camera app. Glad to see it’s still being developed too. This brought back some excitement to take pictures for me on a daily.
