About AsciiCam
AsciiCam generates ASCII images in real time from whatever your camera is pointing at. Choose from black and white, primary colors, or full colors, take pictures, and share them as images or HTML. You can also create ASCII versions of pictures in your gallery, and optionally have ASCII versions automatically generated every time you take a picture with the standard camera app.
AsciiCam is completely free and open source.

Great fun! Just a pity that you can't select white background (and generate the opposite characters) e.g. for in an e-mail or text document. That would be a nice toggle to add.

Really loving this app, BUT.... Why are the renders darker than the preview image? =( ... That's my only gripe. Everything else is wonderful

Great app! I docked it a star, b/c it crashed every time I tried to switch to the front camera.

Impressive! This is pretty amazing in how it works, and translates images to text quite well! Video recording would be cool as well, which I wouldn't /figure/ would be too hard, but I don't know how this works

This is awesome. The live preview as well as the ability to convert pics that have already been taken is very cool.

Very good app; does as it says, free and importantly (for a free app), no excessive permissions

Great fun, but always inverts photo image by 180 degres. Sometimes crashes, but generally smart!

The effect is interesting and effective but I can't figure out where the images are saved. They don't show up in the Gallery. Any help here?

Generates image files, not text files. So kind of pointless

Fun as is, though I wish I could go from one saved pic to another without going back first.

It's good for a bit of fun, maybe artistic expression.

I really want to like this app, but on Galaxy S5, shutter button is next to selfie cam and impossible to use... If UI buttons were at the bottom (portrait mode) of the screen with the shutter activated with the right thumb, it would be a huge improvement. Also, most people would expect the shutter button below the viewfinder as it is more natural.

It works pretty well (and so do the share options), only issue is that with sharing as HTML, there are missing characters which results in a slightly choppy (HTML) picture. And for those wanting to save locally (on device), you can share with a cloud service (such as Google Drive) and then download it

Does a great job, thanks for moving the controls! Has live preview and has 5 Star potential but annoyingly every image gets saved to its own folder with no choice to change it, cluttering up my gallery.
