Rolls is a quiet camera app that helps you take fewer photos, more intentionally. Choose your roll length. Take your shots and wait to develop. Once you start, every photo counts. No endless retakes. No scrolling through twenty versions of the same moment. No feed. Your photos stay hidden until the roll is complete. Then they develop into a private album you can name, keep, and export when youβre ready. Rolls is built for walks, weekends, trips, dates, ordinary days, and the small moments that are easy to over-capture and forget. Take less. Keep more. Features: β’ Choose from 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 or 64 shot limits β’ Shoot without instant previews β’ Finish or end a roll early to develop it β’ Choose a cover photo for each album β’ Name and tag your rolls β’ View completed rolls in a private timeline β’ Export individual photos, selected photos, or full albums β’ No accounts, no likes, no social feed Rolls is a camera with limits, designed to make your photos feel considered again. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Analog Roll

Analog Roll isn't an Instagram filter. It's a real roll-film camera, with all the friction and surprise of shooting on film β right on your phone. HOW IT WORKS Pick a roll (24 or 36 shots), shoot, and that's it: the photo gets locked. You won't see it until it "develops" β you decide if that takes 1 minute, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 30 days, like mailing it off to be developed. No preview, no retouching, no second chances. That's how real film gets shot. REAL EMULATION, NOT A FILTER Every photo runs through real 3D LUTs, scanned grain, and the same color curves as a good physical roll β not a semi-transparent layer slapped on top. The result doesn't look like a filter: it looks like a roll of film. 5 ROLLS β’ Amber 200 β vivid colors, warm tones β’ Super 400 β bright greens, clean blues β’ Noir Ultra 400 β black and white, classic soul β’ Retro Dusk 800T β cinematic nights, halation in the highlights β’ Analog Roll β the free starter roll: every shot uses a different film stock, at random. You never know what you'll get. DOUBLE EXPOSURE Stack two shots on the same frame, like not advancing the roll between takes. Real, not an editing effect. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your rolls and photos are 100% local β they never leave your phone unless you decide to post a photo that's already developed. No cloud, no mandatory account, no auto-upload. FRIENDS (OPTIONAL) If you want, connect an account and add friends by scanning a QR code. Post your developed photos β they're visible instantly and disappear after 24 hours, like a polaroid passed from hand to hand. Analog Roll is for anyone who misses the wait. For anyone who'd rather have 36 intentional shots than 3,000 photos never looked at. Load a roll and shoot.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Analog Roll at none against Rolls's 4. Analog Roll also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
