InstaCRT — Real Camera Filter App Reviews

... but dont love that I havent gotten a single photo back. I thought the video was cute but clearly that little rig cannot put up with this demand. How do I get my money back?

It is currently over an hour wait time. Thanks gizmodo.

What a waste of 1.99!!! Id give this 0 stars if I could, hence the 1 star. 35 minutes to upload an image?!! Get rid of this app! And why is it that everyone else has given it 4 or 5 stars after saying it was horrible?

Tried three times to submit a photo and it hasnt worked yet. It may be due to demand, however there doesnt seem to be anyway to pickup the photo or have it emailed to you. It doesnt seem like this was thought through all the way.

Cant believe I wasted money in this.

This is amazing! What an original idea! You guys that complain about the wait time, this is an conceptual idea and Im sure it works fine when the hype is cooling down. I have gotten some awesome photos back before the press started writing about it.

Your photo will be available in 91 minutes? 68? 45? 22? 18? 9? Even nine minutes actually too 72 minutes, and dont close the app, switch apps, get a phone call, or have your phone sleep....because youll have to start ALL OVER! Get some more CRTs, guys, or at least stop charging for the app.

If this worked it might be cool. I have yet to get any photos back

well well well wait times down to average 4 minutes and they look lo-fi great . It was a nightmare but something clicked and they look wonderful! My new favorite app! Just be weary 1st few times might not go thru! But once they do! Great!

I shouldnt have to pay for an app that wont give my a result at least at the speed instagram does. I can photoshop CRT filter on my photos faster than this app can turn pics around. Interesting idea but not functional.

I heard it was taking forever to get the pictures back to you but now the problem is solved. It took less than a minute to send me my picture with the super cool effect. I must praise the people who came up with this, its an amazing concept that weve never seen before. Anyhow, if you are frustrated because of the waiting times; be patient. Unlike the other photo editing apps which function right in your device by adding digital overlays, instaCRT takes your picture into a trip to the real world and back.

A lot of these reviews complain about long wait times, but the developers have recently added a faster processor and I typically get photos back in 25 seconds or so now. Looks and works great.

Excellent idea, doing the digital -> analog -> digital effect! And yes, you can close the app and be notified when your photo is done if the queue is long.

5 stars now. Thank you for listening!

Wow, super creative.

Would love more control over look and crop, but for what it is, incredibly simple and 100% authentic crt effect, this app is beyond neat. I look forward to future versions that perhaps might have a choice of CRTs to send the image through or something awesome maybe that I havent even thought of. At least I hope for them. Pros Super simple and easy to use Quick and responsive Awesomely authentic effect Cons 2.99 is a lot for an app (though it is doing a lot, to be fair) Limited or no control over look. Its kind of a see what you get kind of thing (which is kind of the fun of it) Recommendation: Buy! This crap is awesome.

is epic.

Maybe the turn around times have improved but waiting 24 hours to get a filter is goofy. Interesting experiment...but you have zero control over filter and it can take forever. More like and art project then an app.

No

Feels like a scam.
