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.

Lost the square view finder
I love this app and some months ago it's Photo interface changed to A rectangle instead of the square that actually shows me the image that I am going to take. Help.
While I usually LOVE this app
While I usually love this app, the latest update is providing some issues. I can no longer open the app at until as when I do it crashes immediately, I hope the next update will quickly recover this glitch please.
DOES NOT HAVE AN OPTION TO POST ON instagram.
I hate how it doesn't have the option to post photos on Instagram. It only give you the option to post on Twitter or Facebook. When you want to post the pics you took with this app you have to crop it to square with will now look like a frame instead of a Polaroid pic. It's only 99cents but still what a let down. When it says on the Polaroid FB page we can directly post on Instagram when we really can't. If you're looking to post a Polaroid like pics on Instagram,this is not the app that you're looking for. So just save yourself the money. Unless you just want cute pics to post on fb and Twitter.

Not iOS 8 compatible
I made a mistake by buying this app a couple of days ago. It doesn't work! I'm thinking it's because it's not iOS 8 compatible. So please, fix that, or give me my $2.00 back!
Went from Fav app to Least!
This app was my go to photo editor.. With brilliant polaroid inspired filters and the most accurate depiction of the time. Sadly... Someone took away the photo editing/post development options. That's where they made a big mistake. Because I certain cases the photo does not turn out how you envisioned it and all you want to do is change it to your go-to filter! Now you are stuck with one option.. One development.. One chance. When before you could take a photo, have the option to switch filters, change its intensity, customize the frame, and have all options to save it! Now it doesn't even have a 'save to camera roll' option!!? How can you go from the PERFECT app.. And then take everything away from it and lose customers overnight. Bad choices SHAKE IT PHOTO APP. Nonsensical to take away the best things about an app... And think people will still want to use it. Basic logic. Was fun while it lasted I guess. Disappointed!!!!!

Low-res, no text adding ability, and no original date stamp when using other photos
If this app would save full resolution images and have the feature to add text to the bottom of the Polaroid frame, it would be brilliant. Also, when loading a photo from the camera roll, it should save the date of the original photo. Best thing about this app at the moment is that the vintage processing is beautiful.

Actually looks polaroid-like - kills Hipstamatic.
The images this app produces actually look like polaroid film, they have done an incredible job on the processing. The images are warm, punch, and truly analog looking. Unlike hipstamatic, this app doesn't just layer nasty artifacts over the image - compare a shot taken with this and one with hipstamatic, and the hipstamatic looks like crudely messed-with digital. This actually looks film-like - beautiful. The ability to just shoot with your normal iPhone camera and then convert later is great - otherwise you have to wait for the processing on each shot before taking another.
A couple of things that could be added - as many have commented, the ability to add a note on the bottom of the frame in a marker script would be great. Also, if you are taking the picture with the app (rather than iPhone cam app) it should show the square framing.
No other polaroid type app even comes close to the image quality on this - if you want juicy organic looking shots and not just 'tricked out' ones, get it!

Great app but no 4S full res
It's been 5 months since the 4S was released and this otherwise great app still doesn't support full resolution.
Not worth $1.99, but grab it if it's on sale.

Hmmm...
I honestly expected more ... It's an good app for the price
It's downside is the resolution of the "selfie" camera ... The camera at the back? Works well with the back camera though!
I hope they will make the front one with better resolution!!
Now deciding whether to get the real thing (film is sooooo expensive) or try ALL the other apps ... :/

Good app, almost all the way there.
This app is really fun, the Polaroid frame and saturated colors give a great feel to the photos. A few things would make this a great app: 1) when you use photos from your photo album, you should be able to choose the portion of the photo you want to be centered in the frame 2) add a way to label the bottom of the frame with a fun black marker font 3) make email sharing work!
Overall though, it's a great start guys!

Best Polaroid App Ever!
This is definitely one of my favorite processing apps! The only thing it needs is an option to write the date on the card kind of like how polarize had that option. This would be very useful for 365 photo projects and that would make this app a definite 5*.
Like it! And … you can use it on your existing pictures!
OK… I almost didn't buy this app because I'd read a review that said the latest update, ver 2.0.1 would no longer allow you to process existing photos in your album (i.e. that you could only use it on new photos you take with the app). Happily, that is not correct. When you first launch the app, it brings up the camera to take a picture. Simply hit "cancel" and you can then select a photo to process from your photo album by tapping the "squares" icon in the at the bottom.
I like the effects and how the app works. It's fun, and produces great results. One thing I would LOVE to see them add is some additional "polaroid style" templates. I've seen some cool ones on the "Lens", the photo blog of the New York Times, and it'd be great if they could build some more striking & creative options in. BUT… that said, it is very well done "as is" and definitely worth 2 bucks!

Just ok for a paid app
I wanted to start with pros, but i cant think of any! For a paid app it offers not hardly enough. If you upload pics from ur iphone camera like me, it doesn't give u an option to zoom/crop/position photo before it turns it into a Polaroid. In keeping with Polaroid tradition, the images take about a minute to develop. I don't like having to wait when the results are so average. I forgot I paid for it at first so I wasn't bummed, but now I'm bummed!! Just want to let you all know it's not so great, there are better paid apps out there!

Good, but wish it was SQUARE!
This has become my default "Polaroid" app since the demise of Polarize, and I have now then to using the square border instead of the classic Pola border.
However, it's not exactly square (Its height is slightly shorter than the width), which isn't a big deal visually but it's make life a lot easier if it was perfectly square so that I could post my images to Instagram, without having to run them through SquareReady to add a strip of white above and below every time!
