Turn Your Smartphone Into a Glorified VHS Camcorder

Are you one of those people who glorifies vintage objects? Do you keep a keytar under your bed waiting for it to become hip again? Then this VHS Camcorder app is perfect for you.

The VHS Camcorder app will take your sweet modern 2015 videos to the 80s – only for the iOS!

Complete with the time and date stamp to give it that home video feel, Rarevision launched the VHS Camcorder app today on iOS. It costs $3.99, and it will run on devices that have iOS 8 or higher.

The time and date are editable, so you’ll be able to spoof them and prank your friends into thinking you were actually there for the 89 David Hasselhoff Berlin Wall Concert. Developer Rarevision even added that white play on the top left of the video’s corner so it sports a more authentic feel.

Give your kids lousy home videos and degrade the video picture even more. Drag your finger across the screen or shake your device to do so. For audio, you have a low-quality setting.

Settings

The grainy video is perfect for a 1980s themed party. Or if you are a super-bored jaded stay-at-home dad.

After you have your vintage footage, don’t forget to tell everyone what you’ve done by sharing it to social media – Facebook, Vine, and Instagram. It all worked as Rarevision advertised.

Even More Settings

The equivalent of a latte, the VHS Camcorder app is quite the bargain. More so, the buzz will most likely last longer than your morning cup of coffee.

Deborah Campbell

Deborah Campbell grew up on a steady diet of fantasy stories, 19th century poetry and Greek mythology. It’s no wonder she turned into such a hopeless romantic. She has always had a knack for writing, but she has yet to publish any best-seller yet. At the beginning of 2013 she decided to try something a little different: she started working for a web design firm, as a creative artist. That’s where she discovered her second calling. Although seemingly opposite, fantasy and technology are Deborah’s two main passions. She is now part of the argyllfreepress.com team, for which she creates detailed tutorials & reviews for some of the world’s most exciting gadgets. She also tries to squeeze a verse or two in her reviews from time to time.
