Before touchscreens, cameras had character. Old School Camera makes a new photo or video look like it came from a phone in 2004. You shoot in the app, or you bring in something you already have. The picture you see is the picture that gets saved. There are old-school filters too, when a real phone is not quite strange enough. Some of them you can tune. VHS is the one with the most room: how worn the tape is, the old camcorder marks, and the sound wears with the picture. There aren't any ads. You open it and shoot. Have fun with it. If a phone or a filter is missing, tell me and I'll try to add it. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
