Unglaublich gut - Fotos machen macht wieder Spaß

Ich hätte nie gedacht dass Fotos auf einem iPhone wieder so cool aussehen können. So mach’s endlich wieder Spaß und das zum Preis von 3 Film Rollen.

THE BEST FILM EMULATOR

Nothing comes close. This is by far the best, most logic based film emulator you can get. The one time purchase is absolutely worth it.

It also makes the experience 10x better when you can have direct contact with the developer on reddit and be able to hear his reasoning for certain choices.

Amazing App - Reignited my passion for Phone Photography again

After apple introduced the insane HDR and fusion and whatnot, photos looked horrible. Love the colors and the looks. Love the interface. I'm glad this app is available. Loved it since day one.

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.
