Having trouble. So I think this app is not exactly easy to use. Clarification on the buttons and what everything means would be helpful…..and also….my biggest complaint is that when you want to spice up a video that was already taken on the iPhone regular camera….the audio does not come over with it. So you can’t edit a video unless it was taken with the app. Kinda strange unless someone can help me with that. It definitely a bummer. This app is a lot of money I should be able to do that with already existing videos. Help please!

Best app but it needs a update. This is the best app for making old videos But it needs a new update so it can be better Try to make this app better with more graphics And more filters and that’s what I need but this app is the best one 👍👍👍

Love this app. I am a lover of old things, especially cameras. I don’t have an 8mm video recorder yet but this is nice. When I see something pretty I can just pull my phone out which is soooo so so convenient. The only thing I want so badly from this app is the option to take photos also. That would be awesome

Not Paying Yearly Subscription!. I’ve had this app for a few years and I’ve enjoyed using it. But I really hate when apps go from one time purchase to forcing users into a subscription model. The same thing happened with filmic Pro and even though it’s a great app, I canceled them too and I’m not looking back. Especially with AI coming in hard and fast. This app will likely end up in the waste bin of history anyway. You should’ve treated your long time users better. Goodbye.

:(. I use to love this app. Sure there were things that could use improving but now it just looks and feels like every other video app out there. Add in subscription!! No thank you. You know, I get it, developers need to monetize, and that people do need to eat for the work they do, but this app offers even less now than the old version. This version doesn’t even have any directions on the changes. Look, some of us just liked the app the way it was. I don’t know why developers have to completely release an all new app under the current name. If you’re going to do such a radical change then just release it as an all new app and leave the current one alone. This new app has killed my love for video entirely.

Clunky. The free version did not do as much, but it seemed more straightforward and easier to use. The paid version has some nice features, but seems impossible to work with, and save projects effectively. I end up getting multiple projects saved, but only to the project folder, and not to my video folder. I’m not a technological idiot. This is just clunky.

App Design & Subscription. It's sad this app offers a subscription now.. but at least you can disable those filters and not be bothered by them. But one thing I really wish was reverted is the app design.. I loved the previous maximalist design, I know the functionality did not change at all but in my opinion the older design looked better and more sincere if that makes sense. I still absolutely love this app but pls bring back the skeuomorphic design!! it's back in style now..

I love this app. This is my go to for after editing I use this app to add mood or even production value because the super 8 looks feels authentic looking film project

SURPRISE!. The app that you payed for a a “lifetime” of updates by paying for while others used a free version supported by ads thus putting your money towards funding developing the app and that you’ve used maybe 3 times is now a subscription! And the money you payed to help said developer has disappeared. Poof. By clicking “update software” that “needs to be updated” you have hither too forfeited any rights you have payed for henceforth. We “said app developer” have “NO” intention of hoodwinking any future suckers (CURRENT COMPANY EXCLUDED) into throwing their hard earned money into making HD 4K digital video look like it was shot on outdated hardware. I’m sure it has to be constant grueling backbreaking work to update the software. Every month must be so labor intensive I can not believe you are brave enough to charge this monthly fee.

New tagged on fees. This use to be the perfect vintage video app, well worth the one time fee that it cost. Now the developers have decided to switch over to the subscription model and make users pay more for tools that were already at our disposal. A shady business practice and deserving of the recent influx of negative reviews.

Amazing but one issue. Can’t export videos from photo library!!! It would be better if I could edit videos captured with original camera or other external videos...😌 Thanks

A couple of suggestions. First off this app is great. What I would like to see though is an option to add retro style camcorder text such as a customizable date and time. It would also be nice to have a different camera modes (portrait, landscape, etc). Other then that is app is amazing.

Great app. Amazing video effects, especially the 8mm 70s one. Would definitely recommend and purchase again. It also saves every clip directly to your photos which is convenient.

NOT ABLE TO PLAY MUSIC IN BACKGROUND???. The only big complaint I have about this app is how I’m not able to play music from my phone in the background as I use it like I would snapchat, why would it not have that feature? It would be so convenient to film with music! Would be nice if that feature is added!!!

amazing!!! wish there was a photo option.. This app is amazing a truly captures a vintage look in videos. However, I wish you could also take photos and not just videos. Other than that, it’s great!

Changed app without permission; it’s horrible now. The app developers without asking anyone installed a new version of the app with paywall extras and a weird new interface. I am strongly thinking about deleting this. Where do you save a video? What happened to the buttons? Is this now for selfies? The filters don’t look like they used to. The new app is so bad I recommend people to download alternatives but the disturbing part of all of this is how without any permission, the old app is gone and this replacing it! For privacy violations alone, skip this!

Attention!. After updating there is an error with cameras that they are blocked. You need to uninstall and download the application again. And the blocking will disappear from all cameras.

Great product, reliable support. I’ve had this app since I owned an iPhone 3GS. They have continued to support their app throughout the years which is extremely commendable, especially for an app that is just a one time purchase. No microtransactions. The video and filter quality is impeccable. You can record vintage style videos without sacrificing sound or image. 10/10 will always recommend this app as long as the company continues to support it.

Long time user and still loving it. Just want to drop a note to say that the app is amazing I’ve been having it feel like forever and it still works as it was intended. And now that the vintage film look is really in.. again.. I’m using it more than ever. Thank you for such an amazing application.

Just fix it... This app would be phenomenal if it weren’t for the fact it literally doesn’t work right now. For months they have failed to fix a bug that makes the app crash every time you try to upload your own footage. Will be deleting if it doesn’t get fixed. Do not buy it right now.

Great App. I continue to use it sometimes, mainly the X-PRO filter, which is my favorite. I was wondering. You think you can add a 80s & 90s filter to the app?

Doesn’t work - waste of money. This app doesn’t function correctly. I tried uploading videos I’d already shot to add the effects, and it worked once, so I know I have the steps right. However, after that it just stopped working. My videos won’t load in the app and I can’t do anything with them. I’ve quit and restarted several times, with no success. What a waste of money!

Best vintage video app on the appstore!. Looks great and authentic! Only two things id like to be added is a film that looks more true to life in its colors. Second is a realistic film border frame, the one included moves a bit too much and just seems a bit off.

Loving the new update!. So happy that I can edit photos with this app now, I think it’s a wonderful touch! I’m a 60s/70s horror fanatic and I always think those films look best when they look authentically imperfect and grainy.

i loved this app but new update is disgusting. i hate the new UI. also we can no longer film in 480p ? Why? Even if it wasn't a thing "natively", that compression made a huge difference aesthetically. i used this app constantly. now i dont even like to open it. whole different feel now. new interface is soulless. conventional and ugly. can we go back? 😩

going to miss this app.. my phone can’t even run it anymore. i miss the old interface, where everything was simplified and very user-friendly. it had just about everything you need with only a few clicks. i first downloaded this app during the covid-19 outbreak & quarantine, and it’s helped me make and transform lots of memories ever since. so it was really sad to see what it came to be. will be uninstalling this app, i have no plans on investing in the “newer and improved” version because of the whole subscription-based system. hope this reaches the developers.

Fix Music option!. Probably my most favorite app, but honestly I wish I could chose where I’d like the music to play. Like what section I’d prefer for my videos. If there’s a way that could be fixed this app would be perfection.

Great Tool. This allows you to not only shoot within the app, but you can open other videos you shot on your iPhone IN the app. So you can give any video previously shot, a Super-8 “film like “cool look. You can add a film projector sound, film skips (as if you recorded it off a projector as it played on a screen), and you’re able to add some projected film scratches. Try it out, it’s free and you’ll make videos with a very unusual look that you can call your own.

One suggestion. Great app. Only suggestion I’d recommend is to have a option for verticals phone recording. Not the video in vertical format but having the phone orientation be vertical to record the video. Sort of like the “old” Flip video recorders if you know what I mean. That would be an awesome improvement.

Too Much film “Artifacts”?!. You used to be able to adjust remove the film grain artifacts for a flawless picture. Now you’re stuck with the cheesy film artifacts/grain noise which defeats the quality look this app once had! What happened? Need to turn that off. Help!

I actually love it but…. This is app produces beautiful video images. Amazing colors. I actually love it and use it a lot. BUT, the app purposefully removes stabilization when filming, it is so shaky. Looks terrible when filming from a moving vehicle for example. This should be an option, not forced upon us. My phone has IBIS. I would like to take advantage of it. I even enjoy shooting at 18fps because it looks older, but the forced camera shake is unnecessary. Make that an option please. Will gladly change my rating.

Love the old video camera and camera. I love all the filters and video filters you have. Please add old date stamps as well like my old camera puts a nice yellow date stamp. Another feature would be to add the film strip for that kind of film. Regards and keep it up

Help! 😭. I just bought this app and it's brilliant, i like effects so much! ❤️ But it doesn't let me edit my old videos, i allowed access but app shows that there is no videos or photos in my gallery 😭 I have iPhone6, what can i do?

Microphone sound not working but beautiful filters. Seems like their website is down and they have stopped developing this app, so purchase in vain since the microphone feature seems to be broken. Too bad because I love everything else with the app, but can’t really find any use for it without microphone feature.

Good app but wish for different filters.... This is mostly a personal preference. the app is good but I find the filters are just too much and make my videos look bad. I wish there was a way to either change the opacity of the filter or use no filter at all but still have the super 8 / grain look. Or just some more neutral filters would be good.

Mostly good. As others have said not having a subscription is really great. I do wish I had more control over the amount the filter is applied. It looks great in app but once it gets used online somewhere it’s further reduced in quality making it very pixelated and blurry. If I could tone down the basics like the amount of grain it would be perfect!

Great app. I love everything about this app. Although it would be nice if you guys could add more filters and add an option to reduce the level of dots and flickers

5 Stars is NOT Enough!!!!. long time Apple for Life person i can’t remember the last time i was moved this much to write a review, i use this app almost every single day to document the my life & my family’s life. i couldn’t be more happy with 8mm if i had to. this right here, this is what’s up. dig! i seriously don’t know why i didn’t do this straight away after first using 8mm consistently. “Blinded by the light” is a perfectly accurate way to put it :) thank you for this gift! keep up the great work!! cheers !! FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!!

I absolutely love it!!. I adore this app it’s fantastic I love all the different filters and the sound quality is just like the old movies can not rate it high enough!!❤️❤️

Cool Effects, Lacking Video Support. I expected to be able to upload a video and watch it, change effects, etc then render it. You basically have to watch the uploaded video (with no sound) with the effect you want on (so many recordings to figure out which effect you want). Not a logical or ideal user experience

Money hungry!!. So I paid for this app and I’ve had it for a couple years. After not using it recently, I see that they’re making you pay to use extra features? When I first paid for this app there was none of that. And now I have to pay for things that used to be free? This is completely unreasonable! And I’m disappointed in this app!

Value for money. In an age where a “decent” app requires a monthly subscription including a quart of your blood, an app like this is amazing. Firstly, the effects of phenomenal, especially if you’re into making arty / edgy style movies for creative reasons (my favourite filter is the 1920s). Secondly, it is long supported by the developers though they’re not sucking dry the people who originally bought the app as a once-off purchase. The only way we’ll get apps like this again to be common place is if we only subscribe to services that deliver significant content regularly (like streaming services) and turn out backs on apps that initially started off as a once off buy but then changed it into a subscription model basically forcing you into B s subscriptions. It’s a “Greed is Good” mentality and it only works if we let it. Rather, for innovation’s sake, support apps like this, then look into their latest pay once apps and support them that way. Otherwise app tech just stagnates and grows incriminately.

Another greed-based update. UPDATE 2022: Whoa! Greed happens! I bought this wonderful, 5-star app a few years ago and had a great time making Halloween movies. Now, suddenly, it’s a subscription based “update”?! Why is this subscription model taking off like a rocket in the App Store? Too many photo editing apps are going this route. Do the developers realize that these apps are NOT necessities? Professional photographers buy software packages for work. The rest of us tinker and play and amuse ourselves with photo/video editing. I won’t be updating this app, and when it finally stops working, I’ll simply delete it and go live my life without it. I strongly encourage everyone else to do the same. Original review: I had to update my review to 5 stars because the complaints I had were all my own fault. After looking further through the app, I found what I needed with just a couple of exceptions. First need: I’d like an update to allow control via a selfie stick through the lightening cable port (as on the newer iPhones). Second, a zoom feature! I couldn’t figure out how to zoom?! Come on! Even the actual 8mm cameras in the 1960’s had a zoomable lens. Otherwise, I love this app. It’s just hours and hours of fun!!

Used to be a great app, now less usable. Used this app for years, it was robust, full featured, stable, and best of all was that I paid for it and had all the features. Now my iPhone X can barely run the app for 5 minutes without overheating… This also feels like a predatory update and I believe that it should be against Apple Store developer guidelines… They developed a version 2 of the app (with heavily subscription based features) & released it about a month ago, then took it off the App Store, and instead they decided to force the version 2 onto us (replacing the original, stable, full featured version that I purchased years ago) and now giving us this buggy, over-modernized version with a paywall to get any of the cool new filters/features… we shouldn’t have to pay another 30$ or monthly subscription for the full featured version of an application we purchased years ago. If you want to leave it as it was I think most of us would prefer that to your new app…

Amazing!. I’ve really gotten into older photography and cinematography lately, but unfortunately developing and scanning old Super 8 reels has become extremely expensive. This app is a perfect alternative to it! The filters are so realistic, and the app is really user friendly. A+

Worth it!. Worth the money. This is the coolest app I’ve ever bought. The filters are great. The borders are great. The manual jitters are great. It’s easy to upload video to it. You have flash and front-facing camera. It’s an aesthetically pleasing design—and a design that strikes the perfect balance between plenty of effect options and button minimalism for ease of use. Also, there are no pay blocks once you’re in the app like other vintage filter apps (it doesn’t demand you upgrade to a pro service or subscribe to anything; every feature is unlocked). Not disappointed in the least. Will be using this for fun and for art projects.

Very Cool App.. Filters are fantastic! It makes your video darn near impossible to detect between a modern video and something out of the 20s! Better than expected, and highly recommended!

Used to be good. I won't be as dramatic as other reviewers, but this app really took a nosedive towards the end of 2022. It used to be a fun way to make retro-style videos, and had a unique interface that set it apart from the rest. Now it's as generic as they come. The app/company didn't ruin my life or affect my love for making videos with my phone. It's just a disappointment. I can deal with an interface change, but what finally drove me away from the app was the baffling multi-app release and underhanded move to a subscription model. They released a separate, subscription-based app as the "new version" and then apparently dumped that one and updated the old, paid app to have subscriptions. My options are to update (losing the former originality, and invariably getting pestered with notifications to subscribe in the app), or stick with the old version (and forever have the update pending in the AppStore). Or a third option: give up on them reverting this business model, and just delete the app.

Upload not working. This has been the best 8mm app but for months now, they still haven’t fixed the bug of not being able to upload videos. Whenever you try to upload a video on your library, the app crashes. Please fix! Worth the purchase if all features work properly.

Photos App Rendering. The original release embedded the filters from this camera app into the default photo app editor. This was a very useful feature which is missing in the latest version. This allowed you to apply the 8mm camera app effect to already existing content on your phone without importing and exporting data. (A much faster way to modify photo and video) Can we get the filter render back in the photos app?

Is there a pause button?. All I can find is the stop button so it keeps creating a new video when I just want to pause and start filming several scenes in one video. I know I can edit on the computer later but would be nice to have a pause button ,not just a stop button for that reason.

A Must buy!. We have shot two full music video clips using this already, looks amazing!

Love it!!!!. Absolutely live this app, has been on my phone for 3years - I delete all my moot photo/video apps Wish there was a way to edit or splice the videos so you could cut the clips to use the good bits And also speed up and slow down how fast you want them to go

More please!!. Love this app!! I recently ran around Fiji filming with my iphone with the "70's" film stock option, then edited on the iMovie app on the plane flight home and produced a great home video. Recommend this app to everyone, well worth the going price. One thing for the developers: more lens, more film stock please. Make them an in-app purchase like 'Hipstamatic'. If u price them reasonably, I'm sure you'll get heaps of extra sales. Congrats on a great app guys!

GREAT FUN!. Absolutely have to pay to get the post production software (it's suggested with the product). Had fun putting my ipod music over the movies!!

Awesome camera app. UPDATED REVIEW: Now that you can import videos and apply the effects after they are shot, I can heartily give this rating boost to five stars (previously 4). This is what we all love to see: a developer listening to customers.

Brilliant, but could be better.. 8mm vintage camera is one of the best special effect apps I have seen to date and is only lacking the older style early 1900s silent film camera option where all you can hear is the reel sound and people have that funny gait to their movement due to the slower and more irregular frame speeds. It would be a marvel of an app if it allowed you to replicate those old, silent classics with the darker frames. As a tip to the developer, I would also add the option for film scratches and lines that tend to be prolific in the older days.

Was perfect but new bug needs fixing. I love this app and use it all the time, it's faultless, however now, I think it may be due to iOS 10, the audio doesn't record after about 1 sec throughout each video. Hope this is resolved soon so I can start using the app again! :)

Amazing. This app is so easy to use, and produces amazing quality films. This makes you want to film everyone and everything. Love!

Makes me feel like a kid again. This app allows you to make movies look like they were taken when I was growing up in the 70's. Extra bonus you can import video that you have already shot. Well with the money :-)

awesome app. this app make ne feel like im living in 80's or 70's ,if you have iphone,this is the app that you MUST have to make you always look young :). 😍😍

Well worth the price. I have a 3GS iPhone and this seems to work a treat for me. The varied styles are well put together and make the roughest of videos look just like the movies my parents used to make. This is great fun.

Amazing!. Great start to an app. Already worth the two bucks and I've only been using it for five minutes. Can't wait for updates!

Near excellence. As someone who previously had to ship Super 8 film cartridges from Australia to California for processing - I am deeply grateful for this wonderful app. A slight improvement would be to mimic the ingrained focus on the three primary colours of genuine Super 8 film stock: red, yellow and blue. When an old Super 8 camera focused on a red roof, for instance - the shock of the primary colour would momentarily blur the focus. Super 8 stock basically had these three primary colours with other colours slightly gauzed or faded. The colours and focus here on the app is very similar to 1970’s still photography - perhaps more so than Super 8 footage. But so close! And we are genuinely grateful.

Great App!. I have a 3GS and it works fine for me. I find it amusing that some people rate this app lower than four stars because it doesn't offer features you'd expect with a $1000 piece of equipment. Lots of fun for $2.50.

Needs a degree to operate. This app has huge potential but it is far too difficult to use. It needs to have simple editing tools, a better variety of templates and most importantly an undo button. Too many times have I adjusted something I didn't like and then not been able to get back to where I was. If you have a degree in graphic design I say go for it, otherwise this app will just leave you frustrated.

Freaking AWSOME!!!. This is a brilliant app that is easy to use even for non-techo-dummies like me but heaps of great effects and such a beautiful finished product....as stupid as it sounds my own movie (of my husky babies) made me cry! Excellent work app creators!!

Great effects and easy to use. This app does for video what Hipstamatic and Instagram do for photos. Definitely deserves five stars!

Absolutely worth buying!. One of my favourite apps, well worth purchasing. Simple user-friendly functions make it super easy to create home videos with amazingly cool filters and visual effects. I only wish it was a standard app for all phones to allow me to share and store movies on my computer

The Ducks Guts. This App gives you the most realistic look and feel of 3 different decades of 8mm film technology. Put side by side with an 8mm film it's an amazing thing to see. Three cheers to the programers for pulling of an app that provides a great way to film anything with a realistic nostalgic feel. Thank you.

Really good!. I really love this app but I would love a mac version so you can edit high quality videos to make them look like this from your mac please!!!!

Great!. Great app. Simple to use. apart from 1080p support for 4s user, for future updates, It would be great to have the option of arming your films and lenses that you want to use prior to recording. In that way, you can flip thru only your desired film effects and lenses during recording and skip those effects that you don't want. And if it isn't too much... maybe text overlay? :) Other that that, it's a great buy. Keep up the good work guys!

Great!. I love this app. The film treatment is excellent! But, please give us the option for better video quality output. For instance in 60's mode there tends to be pixilation because of the low quality/file size. I hope you can do something in an update. Overall excellent!

Suggestion. This is a great app and really awesome effects. But it should also be able to use the same effect to produce photos. That would make it a much powerful app.

APP CRASHES + DOESNT WORK. I just purchased this app and it crashes every time I try to upload videos into it. Very disappointed

Love this app! Please keep updating it!. Love this app! Seems to have a bug or two at the moment though with iOS5 and iPhone 4S. Only 70s, Sakura and xPro films work right- all the rest have glitchy superimposing. The glitchy stuff kinda looks cool in its own way though!

Great app!!!. Great buy! I love the effects this app has. And it's clean is super clean. The addition of rolling audio is a gem... Only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is the ability change effects once video is recorded. If only there was an opportunity to change effects after the shots and you decide you made the wrong choice but otherwise - excellent app!!!

Awesome!. Simple and beautiful - option to process previously shot videos is fantastic!

5 Stars when HD output is possible. I like the concept of this app. Brilliant results however the low def output is a real shame. I don't think I'm being too picky, everything is HD these days. Fingers crossed for an update. I like the Dan Miller's comment below, regarding the possibility of degraded sound to match the video.

Videos deleted. I’m really upset. I tried to check some videos that I had on this app and now they have all vanished. I had footage of on here for many years and I desperately wanted to see them as they are of a beloved pet that is about to pass away. What happened for this to happen? Not happy! The app was better the way it was, why did the upgrade ruin it?

Absolutely Amazing!. This app is amazing! I love it how I can record films that look so authentic just like the recorders back in the olden days. It would be great if it became updated for the iPad and more film features were added. Fantastic app!

Nice.. Love it but I wish I could flip between front and back cameras while recording like in the free app from the movie Super 8. It's the only thing the free app has which is cooler than this one. (Apart from the gimmicky interface which is why I haven't actually deleted the free one since buying this.)

8mm. I'm a big fan of the 'old school' look and this app gives me that 100% I love making my own videos, then adding some Julie London over the top

Love the app can be improved for recent iPhone. I love 8mm since it was released for iPhone 5S back then. It gives a retre old school film camera I never have. The app seems to crash everytime I imported own videos in iOS 12.2.

Whoa!!!. This app is fantastic. I'm a super 8 supporter and this is the first thing to come along and truly put me on the fence. I love the amount of authentic effects that come with this app. No need to look any further if the old film reel is what your looking for without the drama of processing.

Brilliant!. Love this so much, was just what I was looking for. Brilliant effects, so much fun to shoot with. Just added the 60s effect to a video I took of friends in a beer hall and it turned out great so being able to do this post-pro with existing clips is a real nice touch. Thanks to the person who made this app.

Now a subscription. Being asked to pay for something I already owned and can no longer access the filters I had before the update.

Deleting the app. These guys are scamming people I have paid for the full access to this app and now they asking for the yearly subscription, which is totally not worth it. Someone needs to raise a complaint against these people.

DONT UPDATE. I’ve already paid for this app and if I update I will loose what I’ve paid for The new price is extortion

Good but not great. The app doesn't have advanced camera controls like exposure lock and focus lock. I also have to buy the app twice for both iPhone and iPad, even though they are exactly the same thing.

Sooooo cool. This app is awesome, adds great effects to existing videos or shoots new videos in these effects. Makes them look so old school and cool.

One more thing to improve. Can you make a feature that allow users to select videos in “Clips” and render. I want to combine clips together but reels are separated by dates.

Amazing!. I don't usually write reviews but I felt this needed one, what an amazing app! Easily 5 stars, very easy to use and the results look great. Job well done to the creators! :)

Bad Design. Terrible design & functionality. I couldn’t make sense of it if I tried. First I imported a video, but it kept showing live video on my screen, then I finally found the video in another section, but it wouldn’t let me filter it with retro effects - just retro intros. So confusing, I don’t know what your designers were thinking. I want my money back.

Great App. I use this app and it's effects with many projects. But as of late, it only records 4 seconds of footage - photos/videos from the camera roll are also lasting 4 seconds. The noise/sound effects only work occasionally, and the same during recording. This isn't the only app of their's that either doesn't work or has problems!

Top Ap. Brilliant Ap, very easy to use, great results! Would like to know if there is an option to take the filter off the video once it has been recorded?

Pretty cool. Being able to apply the different filters on the flu is great! A live preview would be appreciated though instead of having to record just to see the finished result.

Doesn. Very disapointed, I would advise anyone with a series three to steer clear of this app like the plague. It looks fantastic on this page, and I don't blame anybody from wanting this app. However, if you don't own a series 4 don't download. If this was a store bought product I would ask for an exchange or a refund. It is a real shame. NEXVIO please DO NOT say that that this product works on anything BUT an IPHONE 4.

Great!. 5/5 app, really fun to use and if you take the time to read the instructions very very simple to use!

Great little app. Would re-rate to 5 stars if we could get the projector sound (which is awesome) without any recorded sound (bc old skool projectors didn't have a speaker) Otherwise, love it!

Deserved. No many apps out there that can be rated 5*.

Pretty rad. It's a pretty rad app, higher resolution output would be nice though

Do not upgrade '. It lost all it great look ! The old style and now just a "me too" look !

Good. Better if I could take pictures too

Camera. Good app but j just wanna let everyone know it's only for videos. Oops. No photo taking. I should've read the label.... Still really cool!

Delete clips?. 2 stars for not having a quick access for deleting clips. 😡

Hibstamatic for video. Great app. Love it. It's like Hibstamatic for video. I shot Christmas morning video with this and everyone loved the final results. Create old school analog memories including random frame jumps. The app does this on the fly allowing you change lens and film. lots of fun. Love to see higher output resolution and in app purchases of film packs.

$54??. I bought this app years ago. When I pressed on "restore purchase" it won't unlock the features. It wants me to pay $54, when I paid to buy the app years ago. Garbage.

garbage. I can’t add music???

Best App Ever!. This is one of the oldest app in the App Store and that is exactly what it does, makes things look like the old days. This app is undeniably the best of its kind, you simple are back in time.

Good but needs more features. Love the 60’s filter, although I think the app would be better with the option to remove some of the film dust effects, I'd love the 60s one to have the option to have a cleaner option .

Suggestion. A suggestion for the next release is to have the ability to process the flick so it is slightly sped up like the Charlie Chaplin movies. Then I'll give you five stars!

Thumbs down. Whenever I try to choose a video from camera roll the app crashes. Garbage waste of money.

Used to be great.. This app didn’t age well. It crashes whenever opening a video from iCloud. I stated using this in 2012 when Lana del Rey would and I guess it’s just an end of an era

Cool but.... ...would like to have the ability to change speed. What makes most of my old 8mm films feel authentic is that most seem to move a little slower or a little faster than normal. Add a speed slider and you will get my fifth star. Projector sound in update is awesome - thanks. :) For those of you wanting pictures - pause the video and take a screen capture. Stop complaining!!!

Great fun for the kids. Creating vintage movies keeps my kids busy recreating the "olden days". Well done.

Keeps crashing. Crashes when I try to upload videos

Add camera shot please. Nice great app..it would be perfect if you add a camera shot not just video.. i hope you guys will work on it.

Cool!. Very cool, nice design, I love it!

Great app for those old film effects. Somehow strikes a balance between looking like an old 8 mm camera, and actually being useful. I wish the controls were a little more intuitive, but other than that, a little app. Lots of fun.

Speedolust. Doesn't work.

Well Done!!!. This app gives you some creative options for shooting video. A must have!

Great update, worth the money.. Love the new film stock looks and update. Thank you for continuing to support it! Had the app for a long time.

Portrait Videos. Please please please allow us to upload portrait videos without cropping it 😩😭

bad. always puts custom videos facing sideways

Doesn’t work. App won’t allow me to Record

Still great!. UPDATE: I shot some family footage while out a couple days ago with the original app and my fave simulation (Tuscan). Man, it beautifully captured the light, colour, and feel of the day. Absolutely my go-to for gorgeous 8mm effects. The new app (I am one of the few who have both the 8mm II and the original app) is fantastic. Being able to adjust sharpness, etc. is perfect, and the “save original” option is a nice failsafe. Get the subscription. Worth supporting the developer, and it’s inexpensive. Old review, from before the new app: I’d like to point out that there are Easter eggs, which aren’t necessarily obvious. First, tap on the screen to adjust exposure. And most importantly, and something competitors don’t always offer, exposure values gradually adjust, rather than doing abrupt changes. Let’s get some updates, though! I know the aesthetic is for vintage looks, but, I mean, 4K is available. Let’s get optical image stabilization, more frame rates, and sharpness adjustments!

Nexvio does it again.. Wish this app allowed for full frame 720p recording. Other than that it's pretty awesome for on the fly vintage video recording.

Great, now add a photos option. Good app. Does what it says. Couldn't ask for more. Wait, no. I lied. I can ask for more. Add a function to take pictures. Otherwise, it's not truly worth $2.

Pls add photo option...thanks.. It’s a good app but I hope they add a photo option..and more features..kinda sad that you can’t edit pictures..

More filters!!!. I absolutely love the app but I would really love some more filters or maybe a blurring overlay

i mean it’s aight :\. this app has nice filters and cool effects but whenever i want to import a video it’s always sideways, no matter what i do. ik a lot of people film through the app but i wanted to import videos onto the app and it just wouldn’t work out so :\\

great. great, but should add an option where there’s no filter and only frame!

Let’s pay again!. Bought it a while back and since then, they added a few filters and I gotta pay again if I want them. So dishonest. If you pay for an app, shouldn’t the future updates come for free?

Can't export my library videos. I could do it before but after the recent updates it just stopped working :(

Horrible app. Horrible app not what your Looking for download w Retro VHS that's the one you want

Crashes on video. I loved this app. Recorded some wonderful memories but ever since 8mm camera II came out, the original keeps crashing when I press record. Hopeful it can be fixed but……

Add a picture-taking function please!!!. Otherwise great.

Already broken. I haven’t even used the app yet and it’s saying my live video is disabled so now I cannot even take a video. Waste of money

Amazing. This is an amazing app!!! You will be blown away by this app's capabilities. Worth more than the 1.99 they're asking for. Get it!

Pretty authentic effects. This is a great ap. Creates old looking video/film look effortlessly. Does what it says. Check it out.

Problem. it wont let me take clips that are already in my iphone even if I click on the button

Really nice!. Great apps i like it a lot. Please update it to film in HD!!

Paid but have to pay again. First of all this app is great, the footage looks incredible, and it’s a great way to add a lot of depth to average looking clips. The new update is amazing with the new filters and layout however I have to pay again for something I have already paid for. I bought lifetime access before the update and somehow I’ve lost it, please help.

It’s okay. The app isn’t anything special.. I enjoy it but the features are limited. And when I try to edit a vertical video it crops it and I can’t figure out how to get the whole video.

Used it for a few years now. I’ve enjoyed this one...I tend to pretty much just use the light leak setting with the 70’s film but it’s a combo that just works for my purposes. It’s been a stable and reliable for me. Looking forward to seeing new settings that hopefully may come about in the future.

Horrible. Try to save my videos and they come out black and music doesn’t work...

Best at what it does. This thing renders amazing results. The variations between the options always gives you what you are looking for. The manual screen jitter is bloody epic. Highly recommend this awesome app.

Maginfique app. Super app. qui fonctionne à merveille, Que du positif, je m'amuse à tout filmer avec des images comme durant la prohibition. Si je pouvais mettre 6 sur 5 je le ferais.

no way to get back to iOS (14.3 ?!). on the latest flagship iPhone (12 Pro Max), I cannot use the standard swipe UI to get back to my device (change apps) just seem to be locked inside 8mm, blocking all the usual gestures. ack. what am I missing. no home (physical home button). only turning off the display and back on in landscape let me back ..., such a pain I hesitate using this great app. still no update to fix this behaviour?

Photos. Love but please add capability to take still photos!

Paid for the app, now can’t use. Terrible business

I already paid for the app. And it’s making me pay again so ridiculous

Already paid. And would gladly pay flat fee for more features added but never subscribing because only subscribe to apps use all the time and devs constantly update their apps. This was a wrong move devs.

Do not get it, doesn’t even work. Bought this app in hope I can create cool videos, but the app does not even work. Trying to request a refund, only $3 but this app doesn’t deserve $3. Trash.

More control please. Should have option to reduce artifacts/grain, control amount of blur, etc. very limited as of now. Looks good with specific footage, but not versatile as it could be

. If your looking for a great vintage video app then look no more! I am not saying this app is perfect but what app is? For the money you will not find a better app that produces the quality and function of this simulated 8mm camera. You have to be realistic and understand you are buying a simulation of the real camera, as those who want to say it doesn't do this or doesn't do that apparently think that a phone can reproduce and act as the real camera when they purchase it. In my opinion the developers have done as good a job as they could do with what the iPhone would allow them to do. I am sure they will do updates to fix whatever problems are being reported to date but as for me I have no issues with the app in anyway shape or form, I would recommend it to my friends as well as the common buyer off the street.

Crashing. This was my favorite app but can’t use it now because it crashes every time I hit the record button.

Love love love! Great vintage camera. Bring back the old days!. Way to go! Vintage camera brings back the old days! 60s, 70s, and 1920s. Great app to make movies. 5 definitely. Enjoy!!!!

The best 8mm App. I’ve been using this app ever since the developer created this app. I love the update OMG!

Not working for the latest iPhone update, 16.2.. This is my favorite app and I am so disappointed with the latest iPhone update 16.2 it no longer works. I hope this will be fixed soon. Otherwise, I would give it five stars.

Great app. Disable 8 mm camera is super awesome it really gives the depiction of the old 8 mm film

Going to cry. Seriously i have loved this app for years, but for the past few months it glitches. PLEASE FOR MY SANITY, UPDATE IT SO IT DOESN’T SHUT DOWN. I OWE MY LIFE TO THIS APP.

Used to be great. I loved this app and purchased it when I got my first iPhone many years ago. I bought the few in app purchases they had and shot so many cool videos on it. Now, they’ve changed the UI to the basic ugly same UI that you can just use on your regular iPhone camera. the old UI had such charm and if they would have just added more in app, purchases or charged new customers for subscriptions then I wouldn’t complain. Why do I have to re-pay every month for an app that I purchased before and purchased in apps for? If you look, all of the positive reviews are from years ago. They basically left this app untouched for about four years and then updated it and turned it into an ugly interface and now charge a stupid amount of a subscription fee to get new lenses. I don’t shoot in portrait mode I like landscape mode and that’s what made this app. I’ve spent a lot of money on Nexvio years, only to have them disappear from the App Store, crash my iPhones Emma never get responses from the developers, and now the biggest slap in the face is that they are charging people to buy the app, and then charging them a subscription fee on top of it. Unfortunately, my once favorite app of all of my video apps has turned into another greed based subscription app that is not interesting and the UI is not fun or anything new. Yes, they kept the same UI and added in app purchases. I would’ve bought all of them. If they kept the same UI and actually updated the app with new features every month, I would have no problem paying for it, but they are notorious for not updating their apps. They are notorious for never getting back with you. They are for making apps that crash and then just deleting them from the App Store leaving you out of money. Shame on you Nexvio. You took my very App Store and you ruined it. I understand you need to make money, but most apps that have had people purchase them and buy any app purchases grandfather them into their subscription. Meaning that new people who will purchase the app can pay a subscription fee, but the people who already paid you for the app should not have to be charged again. You’ve ruined the best app in the App Store and the only Nexvio app that was worth talking about. Boo

Help. Bought this app solely to upload a video from my camera roll, yet the app crashes no matter what I try. is there any way to get my money back?

I love this app :-D. Growing up, I was given my parents 8 mm Bell & Howell movie camera. It took Kodak magazine film. That meant you would buy the magazine from the film store, take the movie, get the 50 foot roll of film developed; Kodak would keep the magazine and reload it with another roll of film for the next customer to purchase and return the developed rolls of film to me. Now in the digital age, this "8mm app" allows me to re-create my childhood by once again filming (only this time in) simulated 8mm film. I love the effects of the flickering film, the 4:3 ratio, and the option to shut off the microphone for narration and play sound effects of an 8mm movie projector. Plus, you have choices as to how the film looks. You can use sienna, 1920s (meaning black-black and white), or 1960s color or 1970s color both of which are faded colors. Without hesitation I rate this app five stars out of five. Well done!

Love this app! Used it to shoot my wedding in Mexico!. You have made a really great app here! I bought two iPod touches (4th gen) instead of Flip cameras and handed them out to friends to shoot video of my wedding. The results were stellar and everyone shot so much more because they loved the old timey look and feel. I was stupid and assumed that the videos were at 720p because that's what the ipod shoots, so I was a bit disappointed to get home and see all the videos were low rez when I downloaded them (I up-rezed them to HD ProRes for editing and they still look pretty good). I would love to see HD support added as well as an iPad version in the future - and possibly variable frame rates (1-24fps)??? Also it would be nice to add an automatic add to camera roll feature to make the videos easier to download to your computer. I had almost 200 videos on each iPod and it was a bit tedious to save each one to the camera roll individually (not to mention I had to triple check to make sure I didn't miss any clips). Even the ability to "check off" multiple clips to batch delete or batch export to camera roll would be much appreciated. A few of my friends are getting married in the months to come and they are totally going to buy iPods and your app to shoot with. Again, great app and I look forward to future updates.

Awesome app but.... First off this app is AMAZING! But i wish it had a option to make the audio sound more vintage and like the time periods

App crashes when using video mode. On iOS 16.3.1 the app crashes when trying to record a video. Photo mode works fine but video mode crashes as soon as you hit record on any setting

Pls fix I am so sad. I have used this app for years and it will not work for me anymore to use camera roll videos. I am so sad pls fix!!!!

Needs Music/Video Editing. This is a absolutely fantastic app. Easy and fun to use, plus high quality videos. It's almost perfect, but it's missing a few important things. First, while you are allowed to pick any music from your device to play in the background of your videos, you can't select a specific part of the song to play; you always have to start at the beginning, which is especially frustrating when making short videos that are under 20 seconds which isn't even enough time to get past the intro and into the chorus of most songs. The same is true for videos. You can add video snippets from your photo library, but you can't just take specific portions from them; you have to start recording them from the beginning. Finally, a lot of the introductions/conclusions that are part of the different themes are very cool, but they last about 5-7 seconds, which means if you're trying to make a 15 second video to post on Instagram, you only get about 8-10 seconds of your own footage (unless you want to just not use some of the cool themes). So an option to reduce the time spent on intros/conclusions of themes would also be great. Again, fantastic app, and I would highly recommend it. It's just short of perfection, and these changes should be easy to implement and would greatly enhance the quality of videos.

Fun but lacks 1080p HD. I am a professional DP who shoots corporate, commercial and industrial work for a living. But sometimes I just want to put my big cameras away and have some fun with my iPhone. After all it is the camera that is always with me. I downloaded this app a couple years ago, the day I got my new iPhone 4S. It’s a fun and convincing app. Though it plays a little too much on the retro interface. Too much screen real estate is wasted on that. But that’s not a big deal. I’m only giving it 3 stars because it lacks 1080p HD, which is long overdue considering we are now on the third iPhone model that shoots natively to 1080p. (4S, 5, 5S all 1080p). I actually uninstalled this app after first getting it because I won’t shoot in less than 1080p if I can help it. I came back to check on the app to see if it had been updated to 1080p but sadly it has not. Hopefully an update comes for this before the iPhone starts shooting 4K video.

Currently broken. You can’t edit existing videos. No videos show up when you go to load them.

Greed gets all. Didn’t know a paid app charged a subscription. Whoever the owner is they should listen to their user base before their app gets reviewed down the drain and becomes non existent.

8mm. Wow so much fun and super cool

Can’t upload my own videos. It doesn’t let me upload my own videos :(

Not happy with this.. If everything is hidden behind a paywall, why charge to download and why not mention this in the description? I might as well just buy an old camera for what this costs.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!. Keeps on crashing especially when trying to upload videos from camera roll! Please fix this!

Won’t restore purchase on new phone. This was great the I received a new phone for Christmas and it is making me re- purchase the app. I originally bought the lifetime option. No thank you. Please fix.

Good app. Not happy about paying twice for the same app. 😤

Organic. Honestly the best vintage camcorder app I’ve used. And I’ve used a bunch. Don’t either want to spill the secret, but it’s organic and original.

No way to unlock a song to use. To accompany a video.

dude….. I bought this app years ago and i love it, now with this new version I can’t even use an app I paid for. I agree with another commenter this should be against apple guidelines. I would like a refund or I should get the update for free like every other app i’ve ever paid for…

Used to be OKAY, now HORRIBLE. Yhis was NEVER a great app, only okay and slightly novel, and which I paid for. Now it is crap, and I’m deleting it and its predatory update for forever from my phone. Ahhh, that felt good, never loved the delete button more….

almost perfect. my one complaint is that there’s only one filter that doesn’t have the flickery grain: noir. this filter looks absolutely amazing and it would be really cool to see color filters similar to this one (like the 2-strip colorway filter but without the flickering effect). other than that, its really perfect.

I bought this app and now it’s saying I need to pay again lol.. I already payed to buy an app and now I need to pay 40 usd more?

Inconsistent. Love the app even paid for the filters. Recently the app doesn’t launch properly — I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling and it’s updated but still have had no success

Subscription. Was free for the longest time but unfortunately theres a subscription now :c

What was the point!. This app was great until they started asking for a subscription. I already paid for this app, so why am I paying again? This is messed up

i never do review everrrrr but i love this cam. i am in love with this app and the new update is so pretty~~ definitely worth buying this app.

So cool but.... Such a great app for movies but so difficult to import clips not shot in 8mm and arrange them into reels shot in 8mm.

Needs Customize Controls Option. Very good app, once you are actually IN the app. Please, please, please add Customize Controls option for Control Center (e.g. Alarm Clock, Flashlight, etc.)!

Insane grading/filters but needs tweaking. I was absolutely blown away by the grading this app is capable of. All the filters look so nice and somewhat professional. The one thing that would make this app perfect is having the option to change the video orientation IN APP. It's pretty annoying that whenever I record a video externally say through Instagram or the actual phone camera app, (mostly vertical videos for stories. Rarely horizontal) I save to my camera roll and whenever I open the video in the 8mm app to add a filter, it flips the orientation to horizontal or vice-versa. I had to download a third-party app just to flip the videos I record just so I can then have them be correctly orientated inside the actual 8mm app and export them vertically like I wanted them in the first place. That gets pretty annoying and is very time consuming. Nothing a super quick update could fix I'm pretty sure. But other than that, $2 really well spent 👍🏼

Absolutely LOVE this app!!. Bought this app back in the first year when it came out. Before it was popular from social media influencers. Love the features like 4K video recording and 18FPS video option. But I would definitely pay extra if more features are added! (1) take photos (with the same filters) (2) other recording options (i.e 24fps, 30fps, 60fps, 120fps, etc) (3) other filters and frames (paper rip, dust, grain, light leak flares, etc) (4) the option to dial in the amount of the filter & effects, so it’s not always at 100% (5) time stamp option or some type of retro clock with customize dates, hours, mins, seconds, month, day, year, etc (6) save the original video clips to camera roll, so you have both the unfiltered clip and the one with the 8mm vintage filter as well! Only way right now is to shoot it on your iPhone camera and import it into 8mm which at times doesn’t auto rotate the video so you have to download another video editing app to rotate your video clip or do it on your Mac and reimport it back onto your phone. Over all I love the app, and have been using it for years before it got famous! And I know a lot of people have requested for this app to be able to shoot pictures as well, with the same type of film filter it already provides!

Great vibe. This app gives a great legacy feel to videos. You should charge more.

Love it. This app is awesome. It makes me want to try a short silent film. 😍

Best video app. This is app is perfect if you want a vintage feel to your movies. It gives the video a nostalgic feel.

Something is wrong with new update. Very fussy and locking up while using. Was very stable for the longest time hoping this can get fixed.

Bad. This app keeps crashing!!!!! Please fix this!!!

First non clickbait 8mm sim. When i first downloaded this app i thought its one of those cheesy clickbait apps that just add tons of contrast and fade the blacks in a very unnatural way but it blew me away with its authenticity in both the color and specially the film grain, the quality is so great that im running RED footage through it just to get that grain and colors That being said i have two serious problems with it which i hope to be solved in later updates. When you import clips in the app there is no way to preview the clip before saving it, i get the whole vintage workflow kind of thing but it would be very nice to be able to actually run through the clip with the added effect before hitting the record button and having to actually rip it at 1x speed for it to be saved. The second problem - well not really a problem but a recommendation - is not being able to just add film grain. The grain patterns are extremely nice and useful and on par with some pretty expensive grain overlays. It would be very nice being able to just add the grain without adding a color effect. I hope this was helpful
