User Reviews

Grain Cam is praised for its strong, adjustable grain and vintage look that many photographers seek. It provides a refreshing vibe and Polaroid-like aesthetic, with some updates enabling uploading your own photos. However, users repeatedly cite downsides: pervasive ads, stability issues, saving/importing hurdles, and limited control over filters (no true no-filter option). UI quirks like squished images and zoom problems also appear. Overall, the core grain aesthetic is a win, but stability and feature gaps hinder a consistently smooth experience.

Pros

Strong grain/retro look with adjustable grain for a vintage aesthetic
Delivers a distinctive Polaroid-style vibe that many photographers love
Positive sentiment that the app feels refreshing and capable for grain photography
Newer versions reportedly allow uploading your own photos

Cons

Intrusive ads that disrupt usage
Frequent bugs and crashes (app instability, force closes)
Saving and exporting issues (photos not saving to camera roll or unclear save locations)
Inability to disable automatic color filters and lack of a true no-filter option
UI/UX problems such as photos being squished/zoomed and overall interface quality

Just kept giving me ads after using it for a few months. Not worth the trouble of exiting it 5 times for it to work.

I love making my pieces look old and worn out so I set out to find a an app with retro grain filter and found just that. Grain app does what it advertises and I'm very pleased, keep up the good work!
