About this app

The original VHS cam app by Rarevision and the most totally awesome VHS camera app of 1984!

Used by Kendall Jenner, Snoop Dogg, Khloe Kardashian, Victoria Beckham, Wiz Khalifa, BTS, Die Antwoord, Philip Bloom and featured on SNL (S41E01) and in countless TV shows and music videos!

Covered by WIRED, TechCrunch, Mashable, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Popular Mechanics, The Independent, Macworld, TMZ and many, many others!

It's 1984, and you've got a VHS camcorder! It'll look that way when you record and send old, messed up-looking retro videos to friends. They'll swear you built a time machine: "OMG, how'd you shoot that?"

Trust us, we asked literally everyone and it's unanimous: this app is freakin' rad!

Here's Why You Need It:

• Four words: Best. Throwback. Videos. Ever.
• Create VHS-style retro videos of your kids that look like the ones from your childhood
• Impress the new girl by using our app to convince her you built a time machine
• The only VHS app you should ever consider to capture your 80s and 90s-themed parties
• Make your kids' incredibly boring school plays actually rad

And Also Because of This:

• Realism: the ORIGINAL and BEST VHS app for simulating the glitches of old videotape recordings
• Glitch up the picture during recording by dragging your finger on the screen
• Phony zoom lens feature dramatically enhances the cheese factor
• Don't think we forgot to make things sound retro terrible (we didn't)

This is maybe the best VCR camera out there. Especially the effects of moving the camera around and the increase in recording defects. 👍 I got the full version and it's worth it ❤️ Just one thing: Why does the portrait mode switch to a super wide format? I'd rather like it to stay 4:3 no matter the orientation. There's a dedicated wide screen button for this in the menu, so there's no need for that I think.

Critically underrated app. Honestly, it is a blessing that I even managed to find this in the first place. This is now my most favourite camera app on my phone, cuz I love me some vhs goodness and this app replicates it perfectly. Time to make me some analog horror!

This is one of those genuine apps that really try to be what they say they are! Want to have that nostalgic feeling back? Going for the retro look? This is a legit VHS camcorder!! Hopefully more options are made with a slight quality bump as the VHS look may look too aggressive in my opinion. Still though, what a fantastic app! You can even import videos you have already! There's a pro version too. I may not use it all the time but I think it's worth the purchase for those who are interested!
