A perfect pixel vision app IF it could record video with sound. I have been trying to find a good retro 'pixel vision' photo app and came across this one. It surprised me because it has a bunch of retro camera filters including PXL2000 camera, gameboy camera, apple computer and more! Very authentic reproduction! The app also shoots "video" which is really just an animated gif clip. My only wish is that this app offered real video recording with sound and frame rate adjustments. Id like to shoot movies and edit them and the current gif video can't import into any video editor.

Lots of fun. Simple. Not complex or hard to use. Eventually more filters/features would be fun.

Fast and easy to use and understand. I would like some sounds though :) Like a shutter sound and the ability to record in 8-bit.

I had this on my iPod touch 4th gen, and I'm glad I got something that compares and surpasses it since I got 13 megapixels on my Note 3! Love the GameBoy style camera :)

I was looking for a Gameboy Camera and immediately purchased this app. To my surprise, there's plenty of more fun filters to goose from! And you can even edit an image you already have saved as well, which is awesome. Hope to see plenty of more filters, I'll definitely support and spread the word of this awesome app!

Awesome. Very fun and cool. Has many customizable options too. You can make the pics really look like the real thing or change the resolution and get clearer pics with fantastic effects. Well worth the money. App rocks. I have jelly bean 4.1.1 with a quad core.

I think the app could do with the gameboy camera style borders. I'd love to see this become even more authentic looking! I have some influencial friends who would spread this like wildfire if it took pictures that came out exactly as they did on the gameboy camera (similar to 8bit pocket camera on the crappstore)
