Bugs
It’s so buggy lately, it doesn’t work like it used to. 💔 It doesn’t let me change the filter at all.
app use to be good
i use to be able to simply disable the date but now i can’t. please fix
the autofocus sucks
the version before they added auto focus was better at least have it work better together with the zoom like the old vhs camera this version is not good
Good
It’s very cool
Odd
I have used this app for a long time, I’ve always loved it. But for some reason, it no longer functions? I open it, no video, just a grey screen. None of the buttons work, and I cannot even import footage. Deleting the app and re downloading doesn’t work. Not sure what kinda bug this is. I hope it gets fixed, I really enjoyed this app.
App doesn’t work anymore
I honestly don’t know what to tell anyone that wants to download this
Not great
Keeps telling me I need to upgrade, but I already bought the upgrade. Controls could be better
Actually unusable
I never right reviews, but after paying for this app I can honestly say that it just doesn’t work. It has very cool features and hopefully after the 8th or 9th time the app crashes you get to use all of them. It does not save videos always, the app crashes constantly. I wish that there were more honest reviews because the app I am using is not what has been described.
The app is pretty much ruined
The rest of the update is fine, but the fact that they made the vhs text have a black outline in the “off” graphics selection, and the older version of the text (no black outline) is tied to the “older” graphics selection in the graphics option (in settings) which forces you to have the date on the video without any option of removing it. They even removed that option from the settings for whatever reason. The app’s useless to me now. The “off” selection is the only one where no date is present, but it doesn’t have the same style as my other videos I’ve made with it pre-update. Horrible.
APP KEEPS CRASHING
Terrible app. Keeps crashing…..
I can’t see anything
When I open the app it doesn’t show me anything! I can’t record, it takes foreverrr to go to the part where I can select videos from my camera roll! I liked the features of the old app; did I just waste my money ?!?
Waste of money
The app crashes every time I try to import a video totally useless
No me deja grabar
Es malo
my review
i think it is really great if you like authentic you should give it a try but they definitely need to fix the auto focus bug that will keeps showing on my screen and please add back settings that were removed. Like the option to turn off Show Date On Video
TBC graphic is annoying
The TBC graphic can not currently be turned off. Why? It makes the video look cluttered. It’s a good app besides this one terrible feature.
Great app, one issue
I have used the app for many years but recently I’ve run into an odd bug. Sometimes when I am recording, the screen will dim and eventually shut off if I am not paying attention. It has ruined a few moments that you cannot simply re-record.
Doesn’t work for iPhone 14
It keeps freezing, good app that I’ve tried in the past but doesn’t work at the moment for me.
Won’t let me upgrade
I got this app years ago and already bought it. So now with all the new stuff that’s been added it won’t let me upgrade or just give me access to the new stuff.
