Looking for a fun way to fiddle with your photos this holiday weekend? There are Android apps for that everywhere. The Retro Camera app adds instant nostalgia to your phone pics with four camera filters that give the effect of old timey photography. If you’re getting together with family, or barbecuing with friends this weekend, you can install this free app ($2.99 without ads) and make your gathering an instant classic. Uncle Joey showing off his beer can collection again? The neighbor kid showing off how many burgers he can eat in one sitting? It’s instantly a fond memory when you can pretend it happened twenty or thirty years ago.
Available camera filters in the app include the Barbel, the Little Orange Box, the Xolaroid 2000, and the Pinhole camera. It takes a little while for photos to “develop” with this app, because it connects to an online service while processing. However, as long as you don’t have to move fast, this is a fun little app to try out. Each camera even tells you how it’s filtering your photo – contrast, saturation, frame, etc. Explore the details of each, or just snap away and see what comes out.
wow i love the old polaroid pics and this app ara lovely. The pinhole cam is the most impressive thing i ever see.
