Like but could be better

I like this app a lot but I think that it would be better if it’s camera inter face was a Polaroid camera it would make that app better, and then I think it would feel more real.

First and favorite- only authentic polaroid app

I have been using this app since 2011 and it is still my favorite. I have tried other photo filters and always come back to shakeit! I just purchased the app for a new iphone 12 and have had no problem with it and think the 1.99 price s more than fair.
It does sometimes seem to go black when it develops a photo but when you go to photo app the photo is intact. Also if you want to control the placement in the frame shoot in square format or crop to the square you want. I used a real polaroid back in the day and the authentic feel is dead on in my opinion.
Plus- love the 'shake'

No longer compatible with iOS12

Used to be the best and simplest app. Developer hasn’t touched it in 2 years and now crashes when trying to develop a photo. No longer compatible with iOS12.

Additionally, the app scaling for anything bigger than an iPhone 7 is way off.

PLEASE UPDATE AND KEEP THIS APP ALIVE.

Don’t purchase.

The photos are overly filtered and you can’t adjust it. It makes your photos look like they have Instagram filters from 2010. The crop is always a hit or miss too. This would be okay if it were a free app.

Used to be awesome

This was my favorite app for a long time until the photos just starting coming out completely black.
I tried reinstalling it three times and each time the same thing happens. Bummer.
