VHS CAMCORDER RETRO 80S CAM £2.99

-

They say: With VHS Camcorder, you’ll make home movies that look and sound like real retro video tapes pulled out of storage after 30 years. You can change the on-screen date to trick your friends, create flashing cheesy custom titles, glitch up the picture by shaking your device and use the zoom lens feature to emphasize those truly embarrassi­ng moments!

We say: If you actually have camcorder footage taken in the Eighties, you might very well wonder why someone would want to recreate that shaky,

glitchy feel on an expensive smartphone.

Apparently, it’s because old things are now fashionabl­e, but you’d have to fork out a few quid on eBay to get the real thing (and then puzzle out how to get the footage onto your phone).

Anyway, all the retro goodness is in this app, which even allows you to overlay the date and time in those blocky white letters. Like it’s 1984 all over again.
