App of the Day for Friday, Dec 22, 2017
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 videos 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 custom animated titles, glitch up the picture by shaking your device and use the fake zoom to emphasize those truly embarrassing moments!
"That's freakin' amazing!" -Everyone
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 cam 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?)

8 of 15On a 17 pro max, app is great I love it but I can’t even use the moment I click record it just crashes
I like using this app but something that annoys me is it keeps crashing all the time it’s a good app, but when I’m trying to run something to make it look like a VHS tape it will just crash at random points for some reason and that makes me kind of angry it’s a good app, but it just needs to fix on the crashes. It’s annoying.
It’s so buggy lately, it doesn’t work like it used to. 💔 It doesn’t let me change the filter at all.
But this is worth it. Love it.
Was looking for old cameras I could use to record my urban exploration at some abandoned mansions. Came across this app. I’ve tried other apps before and they lowkey suck. I did the free app first which is still good. Just less settings adjustments and a limit to recording. This paid version which is cheap to me is exactly what I needed for my urbex trip cause I wanted that vintage old vhs found footage feel.
Ive used similar apps like this and none of them have felt like the footage came from a camcorder
4K import video is extremely laggy
I’ve used this to make some really cool picture compilations and I really love the way it looks, all I want to do is maybe just add a small button somewhere that lets you manually mess up the quality, that’s it though.
