PaPop is a tactile instant camera app that turns everyday snapshots into warm, collectible photo cards. Open PaPop, pull down the tiny camera, choose a film filter and paper style, then press the shutter. Watch your photo slowly appear with a gentle instant-print feeling. Use it for friends, selfies, outfits, food, travel, street scenes, or any small moment worth keeping. PaPop is more than an instant photo camera. With Film Packs, you can choose a themed pack, shoot a full set of 12 photos, seal the pack, and open it later with a playful unpacking animation. Shake your iPhone to speed up the reveal and make every set feel like a small surprise. You can also turn your favorite photos into a Photo Wall. Arrange photos freely, add pins, tape, stickers, charms, custom backgrounds, cutouts, borders, and layers. When your wall is ready, export it as an image or publish it as a PaPop Home Screen widget, so your memories can live right on your iPhone. PaPop is made for small daily records, but also for moments you want to keep, decorate, and revisit. Take a photo, sign it, place it on a wall, or save a whole pack of memories to open later. Features: ・Shoot instant-style photos directly in the app ・Film filters for instant, negative, cool tone, night, high contrast, and black-and-white looks ・Adjust filter intensity, vignette, film grain, and soft focus ・Multiple paper sizes, including classic instant, mini, square, wide, and even-border formats ・Many paper styles, including black border, pearl holographic, sunset ticket, mint blueprint, and dark moon ・Custom paper colors and background images ・Date watermark, location watermark, and front/back handwritten signatures ・Portrait beauty mode and optional auto-save to Photos ・Film Packs: shoot 12-photo packs and unpack them later ・Photo Wall editor with photos, stickers, backgrounds, borders, layers, rotation, and scaling ・Custom stickers and iOS 17 cutout support ・Small, medium, and large Photo Wall Home Screen widgets ・Save to Photos or share to other apps Privacy Policy: https://erha19.github.io/papop-support/privacy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
