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?"

With Rarevision VHS, you'll make home movies that look and sound like real retro video tapes pulled out of storage after 30 years. You can change the on-screen date to trick your friends, create flashing cheesy custom titles, glitch up the picture by shaking your device and use the zoom lens feature to emphasize those truly embarrassing moments!

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
• The only VHS cam app you should ever consider to capture your 80s and 90s-themed parties
• Shoot your own "found footage" movie and become a big Hollywood director like those other guys
• Make your kids' incredibly boring school plays actually rad
• Impress the new girl by using our app to convince her you built a time machine
• Pretend like you lived through the rad 1980s using our app!

What Rarevision VHS Can Do:

• Realism: the ORIGINAL and BEST VHS app for simulating the glitches of old videotape recordings
• Import videos and give them the VHS look
• Make your own signature look using the old-school picture adjustment menu
• Create your own animated titles for the ultimate in on-screen awesomeness
• Change the on-screen date so people think you're way younger (or older) than you really are
• Glitch the picture during recording using your finger or by shaking your device
• Fake zoom feature dramatically enhances the cheese factor
• Don't think we forgot to make things sound retro terrible. We didn't.
• Up to 60p recording for a more accurate VHS video look (depends on device capability)
• Widescreen recording option (but would you REALLY want to use it?)

Ratings and reviews

😤 The app is stuck in full screen mode and remains behind the system navigation buttons. It is the only app that I cannot remove from full screen mode. 😖

Overall it's good. But, there are a few buzz kills for me. 1- when I was a kid, I loved the freeze frame shutter effect. so while you are recording, you can take a photo in video,(not saved separately), see the shutter animation, then you will briefly see the image show until it fades away and the main recording continues. Sound can still be heard while the freeze frame is in effect. Also, when I play it back, I wish I could also somewhat hear the glitchy sounds, instead of seeing them.

App does what it's supposed to with no excuses but one that is personal. I really enjoy the fact that it captures that 80's filter that seems so hard to replicate with a phone until now. More filter settings like making your own personal filter would be nice. Oh, definitely fix the import process, please. 🙏🏽 I have a 7 min. video that I want to import, but each time I do the file comes out corrupted.
