Very nice depth to the settings, as a professional photographer myself, I love how I can get amazing pictures very simply through this app. A nice addition would be to have a Mood a widget so we could access the app directly from the lock screen. There’s also a white line of pixels that appears on the side of the pictures when I post them on other social networks, not sure what you can do about it. ### 5/5 — Beste Kamera-App *2026-08-06* Hiermit machen Fotos auf dem Smartphone endlich Spaß. Die App wirkt anfänglich sehr einfach aber wenn man sich mit den Custom Presets beschäftigt eröffnen sich Welten. ### 5/5 — Perfect app for filmic photos *2026-07-29, version 2.2.3* This app nails it. Simple, and the film emulations are beautifully rendered. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-07-25, version 2.2.3* Loving this so far. Very realistic film look. Although definitely room for improvement. I really wish this could: - Record video - import a photo and develop - Zoom to an exact focal length instead of just apples default ### 5/5 — The search is over! *2026-07-24, version 2.2.3* Sooo, I tested a few film sim apps. This is the winner. Simple, customizable, a low, onetime fee, produces amazing pics, and best of all, makes phone photography fun again! Don’t waste your money on a different app - this is the best :) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-22, version 2.2.3* Awesome camera, worth the money. Respect to the developer! ### 5/5 — Fun way to take photos with more personality *2026-07-18, version 2.2.1* I’ve tried a few apps that allow you to bypass the standard iPhone photo processing, but this one is both the easiest to setup and switch styles on the fly, as well as providing some of the best results of any of the apps. ### 5/5 — Realistic and customizable *2026-07-18, version 2.2.1* This has been my favorite camera app since it launched. The film emulations are impressively realistic, and the selection of stock presets is well balanced. It avoids the bloat of filter-first apps, keeping the experience clean for those of us who prefer a true, straight-out-of-the-camera workflow, and just enjoy snapping pics. For anyone who wants to go further, the app provides granular control over film characteristics to fine-tune your results without over-complicating the process. ### 5/5 — Best & Most Fun Camera App *2026-07-17, version 2.2.0* The film emulations are so fun and they look amazing. ### 5/5 — Amazing, but bring the lockscreen Shortcut back! *2026-07-10, version 2.1.2* I use 17.7.1 and prior to last updates i used have the option to add mood directly into lockscreen widgets. Since the new Update that option is gone, can you please bring it back for the top lockscreen widgets? Thanks again ### 5/5 — Great Filmic App *2026-07-07* 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! ### 5/5 — So good! *2026-06-30, version 2.1.0* Amazing and addictive! ### 5/5 — Steep learning curve, absolutely worth the price! *2026-06-30* 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. ### 5/5 — i use this daily! *2026-06-30* 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. ### 5/5 — Unbelievable! *2026-06-18, version 2.0.8* 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. ### 5/5 — loveeee *2026-06-11, version 2.0.7* loooovvveeee ### 5/5 — Brilliant photography app with exhaustive filters *2026-06-08* One of, if not the best camera apps on the store right now. Simple, intuitive and easily customizable. Only drawback currently is that it’s a bit heavy on the resource usage but apart from that it’s almost perfect. And a big shoutout to Alex, the developer for his quick and extensive support! ### 5/5 — Love the mood *2026-06-06* Love the old style , purchased after the trial. ### 5/5 — Using this instead of buying a standalone camera *2026-06-02, version 2.0.6* I was considering some standalone cameras until I stumbled onto this app, and honestly, this gets me 95% there, and I can just use my aging iPhone mini. 5 stars easy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam app *2026-07-17, version 2.2.1* The application is initially free, the developer indicated that there is no "In-app purchase" in this free application. But when you download this application, it turns out that you have to activate the trial subscription period for 7 days, and then switch to a regular subscription. ### 1/5 — New phone *2026-05-30, version 2.0.5* I got a new phone number that appears that my lifetime subscription has gone ### 1/5 — No 48 mp…why… *2026-04-13, version 1.11.5* Will return when 48 mp is included… ### 1/5 — Google *2026-01-04, version 1.11.2* Can we have a toggle to see what we shoot in viewfinder? That way people who want to use it can or not ### 1/5 — problem with photo access *2025-10-15, version 1.10.0* I can’t use photos from my camera roll. I need this to be fixed or I want my money back. I paid 14 dollars for unlimited access. the app is unusable for me right now ### 1/5 — Очередная ерунда *2025-08-07* Очередная ерунда, но за деньги. ### 1/5 — not unable to open camera on the app *2025-06-07, version 1.8.0* not satisfied ### 1/5 — It crashes *2025-05-29, version 1.7.4* I can't use this app. Whenever I press the shutter button, I just go back to the home screen of my phone. I'm using iPhone SE 2016. Yes, the 1st iPhone SE. Running on iOS 15.8.4. Hoping the developer will fix this. ### 1/5 — Nicht benutzen!! *2025-05-23* Meine Kamera ist dadurch kaputt gegangen **Developer response:** Leider kann meine App Ihre Kamera nicht beschädigen. Bitte wenden Sie sich an Apple, um Unterstützung zu erhalten. ### 1/5 — not in the mood !!! *2025-04-20, version 1.7.1* don’t buy it, unfortunately, camera crashes each time you press the shutter ; i own hundreds of apps, it’s the only one which behaves like this… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unglaublich gut - Fotos machen macht wieder Spaß *2026-08-27* 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. ### 5/5 — THE BEST FILM EMULATOR *2026-08-26* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing App - Reignited my passion for Phone Photography again *2026-08-26* 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. ### 5/5 — My favorite camera app! *2026-08-26* 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. ### 5/5 — Film Camera *2026-08-21* It feels like Film Camera , Fantastic ### 5/5 — Appli pour la vie 🥰 *2026-08-18* J’aime tellement cette application, j’espère qu’elle a disparaîtra jamais de l’App Store et que elle continuera à tourner même sur des versions d’iOS qui ne seront plus mise à jour car c’est la meilleure application photo, les photos qui en ressortent sont super belles et en plus les réglages sont extrêmement simple, j’utilise uniquement cette appli pour mes photos 🥰 ### 5/5 — Retro camera app that feels illegal *2026-08-16, version 2.2.4* Absolutely loving the retro nostalgia. If i were a smartphone manufacturer, i would buy this app and put it on the product. I love using it every single day. I wish the owner would keep some features free after the trial. This is so good that it feels illegal. ### 5/5 — I Can’t Say Enough *2026-08-13, version 2.2.4* This app makes taking photos on a phone fun. Oh yeah, and they look incredible. Full of life, not over processed, and a joy to use. The app interface is well thought through and easy to learn. Go get it. ### 5/5 — Better than the Average Instagram filter *2026-08-11, version 2.2.4* A really good way to practice point and shoot cameras before committing to a genuine camera. Each filter gives off an amazing vibe and a great level of customisation! ### 5/5 — My iPhone Camera *2026-08-06, version 2.2.4* The only camera I use for still images. Mostly use Gold setting and some Portra on cloudy days. Natural looking images with zero editing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
