I’ve restarted my phone and reinstalled the app but it simply won’t work, which is a shame. If there is any specific issue it’s telling me about, I can’t read it as all the pop ups are in a language I don’t read. ### 4/5 — Fun *2025-10-07, version 2.1.1* Love ### 2/5 — Plz fix so I can use it *2024-08-30, version 2.1.1* I loved how the app looked in the App Store. I got the 3 day free trial- i couldn’t get into anything. The ad for the free trial popped up everywhere and if I clicked on it, it said I had pro account already. I’m so bummed bc I couldn’t even look at the templates ### 3/5 — Whats wrong? *2024-08-10, version 2.1.1* Bought the premium version but still frames and stickers dont load ### 4/5 — Best app ever *2024-06-19, version 2.1.1* Buy this. Seriously ### 5/5 — Best *2022-01-07, version 2.1.1* It’s so hard finding an app that crops your picture without resizing and I love all the stickers! ### 5/5 — Easy to Use With Beautiful Results *2022-01-04, version 2.1.1* I tried out this app on a whim since I make edits a lot and love vaporwave. It shocked me at how awesome it is. I even ended up paying for the premium version. It’s a really useful and fun app for creative people who like vaporwave ### 5/5 — Nice app *2021-12-25, version 2.1.1* Great app ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-12-20, version 2.1.1* This is a great app ### 5/5 — Yuhhh *2021-12-10, version 2.1.1* Dnaixjsiznsj ### 5/5 — Penis moment *2021-11-28, version 2.1.1* Penis moment ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-09-14, version 2.1.1* Supper fun to do when your bored ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-09-12, version 2.1.1* Great app!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work but takes your money. Get a non-Chinese made app. *2026-01-25, version 2.1.1* Terrible. ### 1/5 — Subscription not working *2026-01-23, version 2.1.1* I bought a years subscription and for some reason it’s not registering that and I can’t use the locked filters and stuff. Please help. ### 1/5 — PLEASE HELP *2025-11-24, version 2.1.1* Hello! I paid for a year in October and I cannot get into my account. Please help! I tried sending a message and it did not go through. ### 1/5 — Subscription not working *2025-10-28, version 2.1.1* I bought a years subscription and for some reason it’s not registering that and I can’t use the locked filters and stuff. Please help ### 1/5 — Features stopped working *2024-08-28, version 2.1.1* The appfunctionality is getting worse and worse. I can no longer add text to images which makes the app worthless to me. ### 1/5 — OMG…Subscribe monthly payments… *2022-02-02, version 2.1.1* Subscriptions are so tedious and uncomfortable sales pitches…young Capitalists…”Ima get that money fast forget customer opinions… not everyone is loaded and are willing to let the cash drain out of their pockets this day and age…Just Wares thin in the long run… just saying… A lot of people are switching to the other guy because of this. No thanks… ### 1/5 — THIS IS A SCAM! *2021-12-15, version 2.1.1* I accepted the free trial and was instantly charged $22. DO NOT accept the free trial, it is not free. ### 1/5 — Basically non functionable *2020-11-04, version 2.1.1* Every time I open the app, it asks me to start a free trial for a premium subscription even if I’ve already got a confirmed subscription active. It takes forever to load or doesn’t even load at all when I try to exit the screen. The effects are cool, but not worth these experiences. ### 1/5 — Not good *2020-10-22* The app has 5% free effects and the rest you have to get a premium subscription for. I hate when apps are like that. Obviously having a premium version of the app is good for business and completely necessary, but it won’t kill you to offer just a few more free options. Also, I think you should be able to preview the premium filters. When you click on something that only premium users can use, it brings up an option for you to get premium but won’t let you see what the effect would look like. ALSO, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS REVIEW; this is one of those absolutely scummy apps that offers free filters and other benefits to its users in exchange for them giving it a five stars rating. I HATE apps that do this. Bribing your users to give you five stars rather than making an app that’s legitimately, actually worthy of five stars is trash. Anyways, if they didn’t bribe people into give them a high rating, they’d probably have 2-3 stars (and I’m being generous In saying 3) Don’t know why this is marketed as a free app when you have to pay for everything. ### 1/5 — A huge rip off *2020-01-12, version 2.1.1* I wanted to buy the monthly subscription but instead of the app choosing the one for a month, it choose the yearly subscription, I feel scammed. After I cancelled my subscription, it took all my money. I had 25$ and now this app left me with 0$. I do not recommend at all. I hope they reach back and give me a refund because this was such a horrible experience. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Groovy *2026-06-16, version 2.1.1* Groovy ### 5/5 — Version of cameras *2026-05-19, version 2.1.1* Viber camera ### 5/5 — Returning to Retro *2025-01-10, version 2.1.1* I used VaporCam once about 4 years ago. It was just a trial. I truly loved the results of my project at the time so much so that I have been using other apps to attempt to replicate what I achieved with a few minutes on VaporCam. While I have come close or gotten good results, I decided to download VaporCam again because I have projects that must be impeccable. I think VaporCam will have enough resources for me to make things happen, God Willing! ### 5/5 — Good *2024-05-29, version 2.1.1* Good app ### 5/5 — Ayda *2022-05-19, version 2.1.1* 🐣✨ ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-04-07, version 2.1.1* Best photo app I’ve used in years ! ### 5/5 — G *2022-04-02, version 2.1.1* Gggg ### 5/5 — Kartasg *2022-02-24, version 2.1.1* cool ### 5/5 — Yee *2022-01-21, version 2.1.1* Wish everything was free though ### 5/5 — Recommended *2022-01-09, version 2.1.1* I really love this app I really recommend it for stickers but I mostly use it for my YouTube thumbnails so I’m just in love --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
