Love it

I love this app and have been using it since it was released. Currently at iOS 18.1 and no problems. Only change I would like is to keep the same resolution as the original photo.

Not supported anymore?

I used to love this app, but the program crashes every time I that I try to save a photo generated with it. I am using iOS 14.3, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I hope that the developers release a fix for this!

A true gem of an app and still going strong!

I started using Plastic Bullet when it first came out and absolutely loved everything about this simple app for getting truly one of a kind photos. I stopped using it having changed phones and then forgot the name of it. Fast forward to a few days ago and I stumbled across it again. I’m really pleased it’s still going as I thought it wouldn’t be supported any more, but here it is, still delivering the same seamless UI and always gets you a great retro image that’s standout unique.
