Fimo app review: The retro camera interface will bring back a lot of memories

Free, for iOS

Did you also grow up in the time of analog photography? Different film rolls often had different properties in terms of colour, exposure, sharpness and feel. Most smartphone cameras, on the other hand, take very similar photos. And there are many apps that can simulate the look of film too but this new app Fimo is an instant favourite because of a few key reasons.

First, the retro camera interface brings back a lot of memories. Second, you can change between many different types of film (at least 9 were free at the time of writing, others can be purchased). There's a nice animation, where you open the camera door and swap out film rolls. Third, each film has a distinct look, complete with the day/date imprint. And finally, each photo you capture is saved in high resolution without any watermark.

You can fool your friends into thinking you're shooting with an analog film camera. If you like the idea of analog film simulation, you should also try Huji Cam (which is available free on both Android and iOS).
