User Reviews

Alas … this was my go-to camera app.
by Wi*****, 2024-12-14

I usually don’t leave reviews but I have tested virtually every iPhone camera alternative and film simulation app and Vistax beats them all by a long shot. The app has all the functionality of a comprehensive alternative camera app + the most accurate Fujifilm film simulation/recipes I have found (have not tested the other simulations in the app yet). Removes the hassle of needing to edit the photos in a editing software to try to recreate the look. With this app + one of the newer iPhone models you are able to get very close to a photo taken straight out of a Fujifilm x100v (or similar) camera.

I was looking for an easy way to apply fuji film simulations and have loved using this app. I don’t know how accurate they are to the actual recipes but you get enough options to find a preset that you will like. It’s snappy and simple to use. I don’t have to agonize over changing the S Curve or percentages. This app intentionally keeps it simple so you can enjoy the moment. I also like that it’s a one-time payment. The developer takes a lot of pride in improving this app and he’s responsive to your questions and critiques. I use fujifilm proneg and Astoria the most and I love how it gives my iPhone photos a little bit of an analog feel.
