Fun!!

Okay this is a FUN little app!! Straightforward and easy to use. The filters give you that classic Kodak / Polaroid vibe, but they’re extra crisp and clear. My toddler loves the way the phone vibrates when you snap a pic. We’re having a lot of fun with photobooth mode!!

Response from developer

Yay! So happy you and your toddler are having fun with the app. I'm sure you'll snap many great moments you can look back on together 😀

Love it!

Fricking love this app! The photos are great but the interface itself is next level. My photos are gonna finally find their way off my camera roll!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the review! Be sure to download the latest updates for all the new and exciting features. Great to hear you're enjoying the app

Get this app!

This app is so amazing for taking old school-style photos right from your phone. No need to carry another device around! The interface is simple and easy to use. The photo booth setting is so fun!!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review! Happy to hear you are enjoying the app. Fun, new features are coming soon! 😃

Replaced My Camera App!

I absolutely LOVE this app. I’m a big fan of Polaroid cameras and this brings the experience to iPhone which is pretty cool. It lets me stay in the moment and not take multiple pics of the same thing to find the “best” one. My favorite features are the Photo Booth 3x photo, it replicates being inside an actual Photo Booth at the mall or state fair. I also found a cool feature that if you turn the phone on its side, it shows you a gallery of all your pics. Love, love, love. I put the app in place of my native camera app!

Response from developer
