The camera won't initialise; it's stuck on the 'oldroll' logo.
I couldn't purchase your lifetime offer, error.
I subscribed gave 290 INR still app isn't working. Still asking me to subscribe
useless
خیلی خیلی بد... اولا،برای همشون باید نت داشته باشی تا ۵ یا ۳ تا عکس میتونی از هر دوربین بگیری یدونه هم هست که رایگان رایگانه،ولی حس و حال قدیم رو نداره
its bad
pay for this, pay for that, the free cam doesnt look very vintage and if i could give it 0 stars, i would. this is a scam for the people that cant pay
Има само една безплатна камера за всичко, защо всичко друго трябва да е платено
as of june 2026 there's still a terrible shutter lag that makes it almost unusable with moving subjects. seriously how difficult is it to just fix it?! Galaxy s25 ultra, every camera in the oldroll app has the same problem. you tap the shutter and it takes 1 or 2 seconds to take a shot.
already paid for LIFETIME PREMIUM using the same gmail account. but now its showing me ads and wont let me access the entire camera modes. wont let me restore my purchase either.
literally everything is blocked behind a paywall. isn't even nearly as good as I thought, and now it's saying I have to pay just to record a video??! pathetic. and you even have ads too, so that just doesn't check out. dont even bother getting this app if you are on a tight budget. uninstalling until nothing is blocked behind a paywall, which im guessing will be never.
Like so many other reviews for this app. I am also a victim of the paid subscription. there is no point for having a great or good app if the developer is not replying to paid subscribers. the app does not recognise the paid subscription and cannot restore. My humble advice to others not to indulge in this app
the pictures this app takes are great when it actually takes it, I've been relying on this vintage camera for months now and for the first few it worked great, it was amazing and gave beautiful results but after some time it started getting worse and worse, the app started shutting itself down when I took a picture and deleting things on it's own, rarely actually saving things and it started getting very very annoying. so I'm not giving it 1 star because the pictures are good but the app is bad
A great application, but I have a frustrating user's experience: Despite having purchased a lifetime membership, the app frequently fails to recognise my premium status, presenting an error message stating "No purchase history found" and blocking me from using Pro features. To temporarily restore the features I paid for, I have been forced to uninstall and reinstall the application. However, during the most recent reinstallation, all of my saved photos within the app were completely erased.
