It lets you import videos, apply authentic VHS effects, and customize with an old-school picture adjustment menu, animated on-screen titles, and a signature look. Shake the device to glitch, use a faux zoom, and record up to 60p on capable devices, with an optional widescreen mode for added retro flair.

User Reviews

Reviewers praise the authentic retro look and value, with recurring drawbacks including autofocus problems, screen dimming during filming, import limitations, stability issues, and limited date-overlay controls.

Pros

Authentic VHS/camcorder look that many reviews say closely matches real footage.
Affordable paid upgrade with valuable features; considered worth the cost.
Rich customization options for tone, detail, contrast, saturation, and other VHS-like effects.
Good audio quality that complements the retro visuals and enhances immersion.

Cons

Autofocus issues; inconsistent or missing auto-focus functionality.
Screen dimming/auto-lock stops recording; need a keep-screen-on option.
Cannot import external videos; limitation when stitching footage from different times.
Stability bugs such as freezing, grey screen, or unresponsive UI.
Date overlay (Show Date On Video) removal or disabling is not supported; users want this as a toggle.

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.

Absolutely LOVE Rarevision! Has helped me with a LOT of editing and is very realistic. However, there is one thing and it’s that it cannot remove the date and time. The closest it can get to doing ANYTHING with it is to spoof the recording date. there is no option to spoof the time aswell but that aside, Rarevision is amazing.
