App takes great photos. The black&white dithering is totally old-Macintosh accurate and looks great. For the Color toggle, it’d be nice if there was an option for dithering on/off, because sometimes I just want the pixelation. But that’s a very small suggestion. One minor annoyance is not being able to swipe away the last photo you took. It just stays on the bottom left of the screen until you take another photo. If you’re going to have the same animation and placement as the IOS screen shot mechanic, then please let us swipe it away. And lastly, If I had a BIG suggestion: what about video recording? That would be SO awesome! This app has let me delete two other apps and replace it with Photo.EXE. Thank you very much!! ### 4/5 — Great App … I need to import my own photos *2022-04-23* ❤️ the effect , I want the option to import my own photos. I would buy the in-app purchases if you put that option 💪🏻🔥🌈 **Developer response:** As a matter of fact all the features of the app are now free for anyone to use! ❤️‍🔥🔥🌈🥦 Import option added 👍 ### 5/5 — Fantabulous app! *2022-01-07* So retro. ## Frequently asked questions about PHOTO.EXE ### Does PHOTO.EXE have ads?
