a camera app that takes the worst photos imaginable most camera apps try to make you look better. i didn't do that. i made an app that takes a normal photo and turns it into something you can't show people without an explanation. nobody asked for this garbage. it's not a bug. it's the whole thing. what it does: → 10 presets that lower the quality of your photo in specific ways deep fry compresses it until it looks like a threat. glitch splits the colors apart and rearranges pixels. vhs adds tracking errors from a format that died in 2006. vaporwave puts pink grids on everything. nuclear meltdown is all of them at once and i'm sorry. → face detection that works against you the app finds your face using legitimate technology, and then makes a choice you wouldn't. it adds laser eyes. or copies your face 6-12 times. or melts it downward. it's precise about this, which somehow makes it worse. → overlays cursed emojis. random memes pulled from a folder i named myself. procedural word art with rainbow gradients. vaporwave grids. stars. things you didn't ask for, applied anyway. → chaos slider subtle is fine. normal is reasonable. maximum is for people who say "just do whatever" and then immediately regret it. at maximum the app itself starts glitching. the ui breaks. your phone vibrates. there's music. it's committed to the bit. → shake to reroll if you don't like the result, shake your phone. same photo, different disaster. the randomization is deep enough that you'll never get the same thing twice. accountability is hard.

Verdict

The call

Aestheticam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
