Great Filmic App

Easy intuitive and great quality simulations. Creator has really thought about shooting experience and optimising the art of photography!

I also love the customisation available, this app is so much better than expensive apps for actual use / good results as opposed to gimmicks. Especially if you’re sick of the fake iPhone default photo feel!

Steep learning curve, absolutely worth the price!

I was skeptical at first choosing this app as my only paid camera app. But once you get the hang of this app, its presets and filters are the best I’ve ever come across. The app has a steep learning curve, but once you get accustomed it’s the best camera app out there.

i use this daily!

i absolutely love this app. i use it as much as the native camera app. the bells and whistles make all the difference. i wish that there was a way to import the filter recipes directly instead of having to enter them manually. still, this app continues to delight me and keeps me interested again and again.

Unbelievable!

First -and probably only- review of an app ever. And that’s because it deserves it.

To anyone reading this, delete everything else, this app is all you need.

To the developer(s), you have given a gift to the photography community at large.
