Awesome App!..Just a Few, Minor Things.
By whalio123 (Pcmac user)
This app is amazing, I use it a lot! I love it a lot. There are some little fixes I suggest. Well, for starters, it would be awesome it have the little multicolored interference like some other users have said to make it look more 80s. I also think the font/date should be a but more 80s as well. You
..Read more ❯ can kinda tell it’s fake. Other than that, this app is awesome.
I also need help with something else. Some might find this easy to fix, but I’m not good with app updates or anything, heh.😂 But I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me why my phone isn’t updating for the app. I will go to menu and I will press the “Tap here to have full update!” Or whatever it says. So I’ll click on it but it just brings me back to the AppStore and the app. I’ll go to my little update section and it won’t say the VHS Cam needs to be updated. I’ve done all that I can to try to figure it out. I’ll go to settings, I’ll look in the VHS Camcorder settings, but I can’t seem to find out how to update it. I’m afraid I’m over thinking all of it or it has to do with my phone. I have an iPhone 6s if that has something to do with it.. I would absolutely love to have all the filters, mess with the date, and be able to film longer. May anyone help me?
Thanks!

Some bug fixes need to be made
By DECAF_MACINTOSH (Pcmac user)
I use this app more than I use my own camera because I really do like it and the update, only the issue is that it lags and freezes sometimes when recording and it even crashes losing the whole video you just captured. If there can be a small update possibly, I would add this and maybe an option to
..Read more ❯ remove the filters completely or at least add a 2000’s vhs filter that isn’t grainy. Some of my videos look worse than the ones my grandparents made in the late 80’s. Also, when trying to video things from afar, the filters can’t capture all of the figure so they stretch colors out making the person look all pixel-like. I love this app and will keep on using it, I love the update a lot too and I thank you for it, I just think these things could make it worthwhile. For now I’m just importing so that I don’t get lags and crashes losing my videos and having a backup that isn’t grainy. I hope you get a chance to read this 😬

Another note...
By Tq mike (Pcmac user)
Note that most of the reviews are from 2 years ago when the app was in its early stages. Now this app has use of the flashlight, there are 3 filters (none, retrocolor, b&w, and nuclear[which is my favorite]) and the resolution options are 480, 720, and 1080p with 24,25 and 60fps. there is also n
..Read more ❯ ow an option for random tape dropouts which is great. A few people are talking about making it so you can play music while recording so you dont have “a quiet video, or have to just talk...” Id just like to say that this app looks very authentic and you couldnt play music on your camcorder back then! lol i also think its very unnecessary. also importing videos into the app seems like a cool idea but also, ehh, you dont really need to guys, record what you want to with the app! theres no reason this app shouldnt have 5 stars across the board!

Great App, But...
By Ronsterbot (Pcmac user)
Love the app, a real great simulator of 1980s/90s technology. A great feature would be the light bleed effect common in some model camcorders. The effect is seen in many films where the sources of light, lamps, bulbs, the sun, and televisions would cause a bleeding effect and trails when the camera
..Read more ❯ would move. A realistic simulation of this effect would really add a whole new level of realism to the VHS Camcorder. Also perhaps more control over the effects, such as brightness, white balance, and color casting. Other than my suggestions, this is a great app from someone who owns many real 1980s camcorders, this is easily the second best thing!
