### 1/5 — Still to know avail

*2021-10-28, version 1.7.2*

Received an email response from support team assuring me the bugs were fixed and surprisingly the app worked fine, for 3 days, now we are right back to where we started unable to use without purchasing the - already purchased multiple times - app. Deleted the entire app, I’m out, fun app if it ever worked, running on iPhone with no prior issues until iOS update 15 and beyond.

### 5/5 — Love!!!… but there’s a huge issue with RTRO

*2021-10-21, version 1.7.1*

This app is easy and straight forward to use. The looks are extremely varied and I enjoy pairing them with the different lenses I have. The looks are beautiful and very professional. I’d love to use them on some projects that I have but I can’t because of a limitation that can be easily fixed.

There’s a flaw that I’ve run into that only occurs when using Moments apps( my preferred apps). When I’m using my DJI Raveneye to use the motion control feature, I can’t because Moment and RTRO orientation of the app starts vertically instead or horizontally like most other camera apps. This makes the camera rig I’ve created become extremely limited. I really hope Moment reads this and fixes this feature in their apps. 

Besides that issue(personally big for me), the app is well worth the price tag. I’d highly recommend it to further your creative efforts!!! Good job team Moment!

### 3/5 — This app screams Moment!

*2021-10-19, version 1.7.1*

Big fan of Moment, own several lenses. I decided to download the app to see where they were in the digital world. It's exactly what you expect from them. Trendy hipster type filters and simple layout which is great! They're selection is amazing and filters are very well executed. Unfortunately I ended up deleting due to "Membership". Having a membership for filters is ridiculous, also the one time purchase of $50 is silly.

### 1/5 — There is another app for cheaper!

*2021-05-04, version 1.6.7*

So there is another retro camera app called retrocam and it has literally every exact feature as this app...minus hidden charges to access full app...retrocam is wayyy better than this app and its cheaper...I highly recommend getting that app instead as they seem to be more focused around the customer’s ability to use the app and not focused around making money off you.

### 5/5 — Love 🥰

*2021-03-28, version 1.6.4*

I love this app and it’s definitely a go too now. I would love if longer video and the ability to input photos were added . Either way I will remain a faithful user.

### 3/5 — Great app hindered by its own limitations

*2021-01-08, version 1.6.1*

Honestly, this is such an amazing app that has so much potential. Unfortunately, it misses the mark by not including obvious features expected of a photography/editing application like adjusting filter strength or more importantly, photo import! 🤯 How it can exclude that really blows my mind. I can tell the developers and artist are trying though and very talented to boot. I hope to see some of the bugs I’ve been experiencing patched as well and features added to make this the well rounded app I know it can be.

### 3/5 — No Flash/ Hard press big

*2020-10-21, version 1.5.1*

So far I like that app and they have great filters but I haven’t found the option to turn the flash on in anything. Can someone help? Also when I try using the hard press option to track a subject it closes the app.

### 4/5 — Great app, anamorphic desqueeze, not quite stable yet

*2020-07-23, version 1.4.1*

Edit: Crashes seem to have been fixed finally. (One star ducked for now, it was broken for a while after all, otherwise great app, can recommend.) 

Initially I got some very good-looking footage, and even acquired a couple of looks. I used it with an anamorphic clip-on lens for really cool wide-screen video.

Past couple weeks the app crashes when opened, and the latest few updates did not address that.

Initially thought of getting a perpetual license, but for the time being happy to have saved a few bucks and going to cancel monthly subscription after one month.

### 5/5 — Not ready for the price

*2020-07-23, version 1.4.1*

I love Moment.  The app, the cases, the gear, but RTRO is not ready. All the features and functions are a great concept and the bugs seem to be all worked out.  In fact, they contacted me to let me know, which is a testament to Moment’s dope customer service.  I paid for a full year based on my previous experience with Moment’s app and filters. The level of support for the app and the new filters and features in such a short time are really impressive.

**Developer response:** If you update to 1.4.1, those issues should all be resolved! :)

### 2/5 — Errors

*2020-07-10, version 1.4*

Weird glitches where the half the screen goes black and then take a picture with the picture moved up and a black box on the bottom. There is an option for no watermarks on pictures but cant seem to find one for the video, which seems weird to not have for people that are paying for the subscription.
