I’m 38 years old and I do remember the old film format. I also remember Sony Walkmans and 14.4 dial up modems. Those were great (and the only option) back in the day but there’s no need for limiting something in an app and present it as a feature.

Who knows, maybe a 14.4 modem simulator app will present itself in the App Store? “Surf with heaps of retro anticipation as your web page loads under the course of 20 minutes!”.

Anyway, I appreciate your comment — thanks!

Most are understated if anything. It is about taking your time to shoot a roll, often forgetting what is on it, and the fun and surprise and anticipation of getting them back when you complete the roll.

For regular photo app needs, get a different app; this one is very specifically about recreating the old-school sense of anticipation that came with shooting a roll of film. Most users under the age of 25 probably don’t even know what that feels like.
