Features & Capabilities

Rarevision VHS: Retro Cam recreates the original VHS camcorder look with realistic glitches, color shifts, and retro sound. 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.

It has attracted wide attention and social proof: used by celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Snoop Dogg, BTS, Ariana Grande, and more, and covered by WIRED, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Popular Mechanics, The Independent, Macworld, TMZ, TechCrunch, Mashable, and others. App of the Day on December 22, 2017 highlighted its nostalgia-prompting appeal. Rarevision is a US-based company delivering nostalgic video tools for fun, storytelling, and retro-style content.

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.

Recent reviews

This is hands-down the absolute best app for old-school recording in the modern era. The tracking lines and audio degradation look incredibly authentic! I really want to set Rarevision as my default launch app for the iPhone’s hardware Camera Control button. Any chance you guys could implement Apple's LockedCameraCapture API in a future update so it shows up as an option in the iOS Camera Control settings? Launching straight into this retro viewfinder from a hardware click would be unbelievable!
