The was fine
The rolls a repetitive after a point
Excellent idea, better execution
Such an amazing premise for an app, and currently it feels so polished - from UI to animations to features. Also in the free version there are no ads, and they don’t force premium down ur throat.
Interesting yet unrefined
Video content needs to be higher quality with more fluent framerate. The roll unboxing slider’s rumble is too crass and needs fixing. The gallery could as well use the option to rotate photos after they’ve been saved. I’ll see how it develops and keep my review up to date accordingly.
It works; but, pictures are not all that inspiring.
28 May 2026: The developer sent me a note based on my evaluation. He is gradually making changes despite this being a solo-developed app effort. I still reserve my opinion; but, continue on a daily shot to see what the effort is doing and allowing in captures. I’ll bump to 3 stars for now based on reply and explanation.
18 May 2026: This is a great idea, especially the premise of sharing ‘today’s shot’ and seeing whose is best; but, I don’t know how these are posted other than by manually sharing like all other photos. Some “rolls” of daily film are just really bad being too washed out by the ‘characteristics’ of the roll/filter. The rolls do not seem to be labeled according to type or filter making it difficult to title other than by the date. Maybe the app will be improved over time; but, for now, I would hold it in storage because it will not be a goto camera of choice.

Response from developer
Thanks for downloading Roll and taking the time to leave a review. Roll is intentionally not designed to be a main goto camera app, but more of a creative tool focused on experimentation and unpredictability, similar to shooting real film where not every roll turns out perfect. I’ve now added a library in version 1.1 where you can revisit previous photos and see which rolls and filters were used for each shot. I’m also considering adding an official hashtag for sharing daily shots in the future to make the community aspect easier and more visible. As a solo developer, I’m continuously improving the app based on feedback like yours, and hopefully if you give the latest version another try, the experience feels a bit better now.
Really good!
Genuinely a really good app. I just wish there was a library for the photo you take every day and which film it was taken with. Already addicted and with some updates I think this app could be great.
