5 Apps That Will Give Your Photos a Cool, Retro Look

Let your photos look like they were taken on an old school camera with Hipstamatic ($3). Adjust the focus, exposure, shutter speed, and more as you take your photos. Or, use one of the lenses or films to create the retro look you crave.

With Reflex ($3), use eight different types of film value packs to take photos. You can also shoot a regular snap and edit it or add borders to the image. It's similar to Hipstamatic but a little easier to use.

Get a photo that looks totally unique with Cross Process ($2). The idea behind the app is to give your photos a look as if they were actually cross processed like film. Choose what you want done to the photo and add a border if you’d like.

If you truly want a Polaroid-like experience, then download ShakeItPhoto ($2). Take a photo and either watch or shake your phone to make it “develop” . You can also change the border size of the photo.

Get an incredible photo editing app and create vintage effects on your images with Camera+ ($3). Adjust different settings like exposure or use one of the app’s 30 filters on a photo. It’s the best investment you could make if you’re serious about your photography skills.
