Retrica 2.7
Everything looks better with a vintage filter
Retrica's GUI is quite user-friendly and also comes with plenty of instructions and tips to get you started. The app opens as a camera, all of its features are on the bottom of the screen. You can select the size of the picture and even take a sequence of photos arranged in many forms.
On-screen buttons are arranged neatly, you can set a timer, blur edges of the photo or select borders. Users also have the option of geotagging pictures, but the feature must be enabled from settings. In fact, there are some changes that you can do to the app, but it doesn't let you customize the interface at all.
Have fun and edit pictures with filters
Vintage filters are available at the touch of a button, providing that retro-vibe that makes any picture look great, however premium upgrade is available for some styles. Also, watermark texture is available. The app has a whole array of effects, including filters for the holidays. You can also turn collages into videos or GIFs.
Once you've taken the picture, you may apply one of the many Retrica logos available or save it for editing later. Some filters must be purchased, but Retrica offers you options to avoid that.
Simply watch a promotional video and then use the filter you'd like to apply in order to enhance your photos. The app also lets you take pictures with the volume button or apply a watermark to images so that people would know where you were.
Take pictures and share them with friends
Retrica requires in-app purchases, mainly for more but filters but it's completely usable even without them. However, premium upgrade does remove ads. This app requires many permissions, including to access location, Device ID & call information, network connections.
Retrica also provides the option to share pictures with friends, by posting them on your social networking accounts. However, Retrica doesn't allow you to edit saved pictures from the gallery.
