## What is RitchieCam?

RitchieCam is a free app for streamlining your iPhone photography. Easy to use. With intuitive minimalistic controls, RitchieCam is simple for beginners, yet useful for experienced photographers.

One-step philosophy. RitchieCam produces photos that are ready to be shared or printed the instant that they’re captured (no editing needed!), which saves you time and hassle. There are 17 filters in RitchieCam to choose from: 14 color and 3 B&W. These filters have a retro vibe, and you’re sure to find at least one that compliments your style.

### 5/5 — Amazing App with possible improvements

*2025-08-24*

Amazing App and idea! Love the receipts for my Fuji Cam already. This is a nice addon for my iPhone, but I’ll really love if it would be possible to edit already existing Photos (raws) in my library with this app as well. Then 5 more stars. 😃

### 5/5 — XPan in your pocket

*2025-05-14*

I’m a voracious XPan photographer who just loves the 24x65 aspect ratio. And on the rare occasion when I don’t have that exotic beast over my shoulder, I reach for RitchieCam. The film simulations are excellent, and I’m sure there’s plenty of depth to the app I’ve yet to explore. But the XPan mode alone is worth the price of admission (and a subscription). Thanks for your excellent work — the smash hit podcast I Dream of Cameras loves your app!

### 3/5 — App function

*2025-04-18*

The filters are great, really enjoying the results. But the entire development of the app needs work, the filters switches to another when I select a certain one to shoot from. Also, sometimes the camera button doesn’t work on my iPhone 16pro. Request to please fix.

### 4/5 — Very nice Retro look

*2025-01-04*

Please make an Option so that the Analog Filter can used as standard when the Camera is started

### 5/5 — Exellent

*2024-11-01*

I have used this for years now and it’s been great since day one

### 1/5 — Poor programming

*2024-10-13*

Very poor programming. It freezes quite often and cannot be used. Very limited filters in total.

### 5/5 — Replaced the standard camera app for me

*2024-08-08*

I just love the look of the Standard Film in RitchieCam. It works in almost any situation and produces results that I find really pleasing. This has replaced apps like VSCO or RNI for me completely and saves me a lot of time! Bought the annual subscription just to support the dev Ritchie, the guy behind FujiXweekly.

### 2/5 — nice concept

*2024-07-10, version 1.10.1*

really roasted images though on 15pro max. it's like when you zoom in the image has that noise reduction watercolor effect cranked up to 11. the photo look like mosaics

### 4/5 — Love the filters but photo comes out at 12mp

*2024-06-10, version 1.10*

Love the filters but on my 15 pro max I can’t get a 24mp photo…why is that? 48mp works

### 3/5 — Great camera app but edit function missing

*2024-05-20*

I really like the app but having no option to apply the filters to existing photos shot with the stock camera app is a bummer. Also I‘d prefer a one-time purchase option (and maybe additional one-time paid upgrades when new filters are added) over the annual subscription model.
