RTRO - Film Camera by Moment

I’ll just be real upfront about the fact that Ani Acopian has filter looks and I’m here for it.. She is one of my favorite filmmakers. I enjoy the Moment app and lenses as well but since I’ve gone to the iPhone 11 Pro Max I haven’t been using them as much.. since I’m a fan of the Moment app I’m giving this one a try but like I said in the beginning of the review if Ani’s name is attached to it, well... shut up and take my money! Lol I plan on having fun with this because thats what it was intended for. I like the design so far and it’s super simple and intuitive, plus its version 1.0 so I’m sure it will only get better with firmware updates. If you made it this far in this review, your an absolute legend. If nobody told you today, you dope AF and I hope you win today. -Lucky PS. Look for my follow up review after a few weeks of using this. I will be purchasing the year subscription and trying all the looks! 🤘🏾😎

Hi Moment! First of all, I want to say I love the app’s interface and the filters in it. I really enjoy that you allow the user to purchase each filter or subscribe to RETRO+. Personally, I’m tired of subscriptions but since I really liked the filters and pictured myself using them, I thought was better to purchase them individually. I was trying to find if there was a setting to remove the watermark when I found it, I was disappointed that the app makes you subscribe for this feature. You should let us purchase the feature as you do with the filters. If I would’ve known that in order to remove the watermark you have to subscribe, I wouldn’t have purchased the filters. I also wish if the app allowed me to take pictures in addition to video. And also the ability to import from the camera roll. I want to take my time and try the filters on my footage or photos and your current solution only allows you to select a filter prior recording. I also noticed that the app freezes and acts slowly after using it for a couple of minutes. Overall I’m excited to try this app and I hope you guys fix these issues and add new filters and features in the future.

I am a big Moment fan, and have lots of lenses and equipment. I adore their videos and instruction, so I jumped in this right away. I’m enjoying this app and intend to really take it out for some fun test drives, mostly for family use. The filters are interesting and I expect more will be coming. I subscribed for the year so I can give it a good tryout, but will just wait to see if it is worth renewing next year. Subscriptions are insidious, I’d prefer to pay up front. If the app continues to improve and add features and functions the subscription may be a good value, but time will make that clear for me. Like other reviewers, I would love to see the option for longer videos and to switch filters within the videos. Overall, great addition to the Moment roster!

With Moment You get what you get. Moment has a rep for developing filmmaker friendly apps that are simply a breath of fresh air. The app is great for the function it was designed for which is a quick on the go instagram story filmmaking tool, with a retro Themed Aesthetic. Key features include a wide selection of retro themed filters with automated effects build in, some free others available for individual purchase. Sign up with RTRO+, and get all the filters included. A cool anamorphic desqueeze for moment lens users. Includes app tips & tutorials, as well as some long forgotten frame rates that will give your retro footage an authentic feel. Helpful features like subject tracking, also all footage can be exported directly to your camera roll. All in all, moment always shows how much they care.

I'm a fan Moment gear and the main camera app, this one leaves a little something to be desired. Extremely limited test app and the only other choice is a subscription for a month. I think it's fair that we all hate subscriptions. I get why to use it, but without a full trial of the app, 24 hours even, I hate the thought of having another subscription that I just forget about and cringe every month paying for an app I don't want or need. A full free trial for even a day would take away the possibility of regret. It's just the feeling of I don't know what I'm paying a subscription for, I'm not allowed to get a feel for it, I'm going in blind. I really considered paying full price for the app but again, I can't justify spending $50 on something I can't try out before I buy and have limited to no recourse to get a refund if I don't like it or it doesn't meet expectations for spending $50 on a single app. Other concern is I spend $50 on the app and the promise of updated looks. How long will that go on? At a moment's notice that can go away and I'm left on the hook for the pricey app without future support.
