Insane

This is insane thank you

more amazing as devices get more powerful

been using this versatile thing for years and seen it improve year after year and become more refined. well maintained and priceless if you like this kind of thing

Superb

Does a phenomenally great job of re-encoding bloated modern pictures in to bloated versions of low-data pictures. Particularly great C64 and PETscii conversions. Great credits pages!

animation option not working?

love the app but it looks like the animation option starts loading then messes up? itll get to like 88% and then not progress any further

Thanks for the new update

I started using this application for YouTube short videos, and it looks like it works great. Please keep adding more filters/styles. With Kindest Regards-Pro User

This is a must tool

Once you get past some of its interface peculiarities when creating custom styles, you start to realise how powerful this is. Central tool in my work.

Nintendo Entertainment System?

Where’s the NES?

Good. Not great.

There are a lot of instances where the image entirely fails to load with the proper filters. There are also times where the aspect ratio of the photo im editing won’t show up right. Feels awful and limited even when the tools are quite useful

Superb little app

I must’ve used Retrospecs for a few years now; I love it. I use it all the time. If it ever goes away I shall miss it terribly.

Immediately spams you to upgrade

Took a photo, and immediately it begs me to upgrade while blocking the view of the image I’m wanting to edit. Can’t even try it out without being forced to pay.

Why even have it a free app if you immediately have to pay?!

I will admit that, for some stupid reason on my part, I paid for it awhile back, though I forgot until the App Store reminded me.

I love this app

Great tool for transforming ordinary pics into something cool and unique.

🔥!EPOD🔥

Super dope and does everything I needed to do answer

Digggg

Brings back my beloved C=64 days!

Very close

This is very close to the app 8bit photo lab on android devices.
My problem is that I do not have the same amount of control as that app. Specifically control over the resolution.

The resolution of 8bit photo lab goes up to 2000x2000+ pixels with every form of digital styling.

Making the range for the objects I create for my collages vast.

This is something I NEED so I can finally stop using the cheap tablet for ONE specific reason

I hope the developers can see this and update the app to have this value scale.

It actually works as described.

Offers paid options as well as cool, free pixelating. Fans of 16 and 32-bit will enjoy this. Refreshing considering there’s lots of fake apps out there.

Perfection!

Worth buying the full version. (And what got me to rate it 5 stars was a certain custom app icon, very appreciated.)

Two years

I’ve been using this for two years and it’s just the best you’ll find. Thank you so much for making this app.

Amazing concept and execution

Every filter is very authentic to the original system. The creator definitely did their homework. Great execution and style. Very easy to use. I can't ask for anything more! Get this now!

Makes photos better

4k? No way.

Amazing App

Could you please update it so that transparent parts of PNGs don’t get blacked out.
