Awesome

Just overall a great app! Love all the filters!

The best I’ve found

I’m a photo app junkie, and I’ve used them all. Mood is by far the most intuitive to use, and all-around delightful. The film recipes are very well done. Gives me the same pleasure I have when finding new film recipes for my Fuji X-T4. That’s not an easy thing to capture. while other camera apps are overall wrought with pro features and bloated, Mood keeps it simple and keeps your photos beautiful.

Funtastic!

Mood Camera will convert your iPhone into a real camera. Wonderful photos. Delightful fun. And thanks for all the community presets. For me, it’s hard to beat.

Enfin un vrai rendu photo sur iPhone !!

Cette appli transforme l’iPhone en mini Fuji. Les recettes couleurs de base sont très bonnes et il est facile d’en créer d’autres. Et en prime l’appli est dispo en achat unique pour moins de 20€. La seule chose qui est perfectible est le mode portrait P qui donne des detourages et des flous trop approximatifs

One feature request!

Please allow an option to use multiple presets or emulsions at once, like if I click one photo multiple photos with different presets will be saved to my photos app.
