Retro Camera 3.84

They way we see it, there are two types of photography apps on Google Play Store. Intricate ones with lots of features and image settings and apps with many artistic filters and editing options, suitable for amateurs. Retro Camera belongs to the latter category. It has some filters, but not that many image editing tools and almost no auxiliary features for final touches.

Rudimentary app with a simplistic interface

The first thing that you'll need to do inside the app is pick a camera. They each come with their own characteristics. The interface consists only of the filter applied on the camera. The app doesn't come with any instructions of use, letting new users figure it out by themselves. It has banner ads on the top of the screen, even in the camera mode and they take up a lot of screen space.

We've come across many photography apps and some of them had ads but none covered the camera. Full screen ads with also pop-up after you take pictures. They're annoying especially because the interface is a bit slow and users may actually tap on ads by mistake.

Snap pictures

It doesn't come with many features in the camera mode, users can only enable flash, adjust volume or switch cameras on their device. You can import a picture from your gallery in order to edit it inside the app. Still, there aren't any other options and it seems that the app has even fewer tools that the stock camera on your phone.

There's no option to zoom in/out, to switch to grid view, to add blur or panorama. The app opens in landscape view, portrait is also available but it won't help with much since the editor only works in landscape view, so you might as well keep your phone like that while you use the app.

Add retro vibes to pictures

Unfortunately, we can't say that the app enhances your pictures. It's only editing tools are filters. Still, their number is impressive and they're divided into several categories to make it easy to navigate and find the ones you need.

However, the filters aren't that great some of them darken the image too much and there's no way of adjusting filter opacity. Other than these filters, there's nothing else you can do to your pictures. You can't add borders, frames, not even text which means that the app is quite rudimentary and needs lots of improvements if it wants to compete with the giants in this category.
