Retrica

Love this app! So many different filters! I just have so much fun using this. My selfies always turn out so good on here. Truly the only bad vibe in here is, if you don't have the money to pay the subscription, after every photo you take an ad pops up. You have to wait for the ad to finish before you can take another photo, every single time. So it can be time consuming. I plan to just pay the subscription, it's not really a lot! It's worth it.📷 🩷⭐📸💎💯

I was excited to see an app that recreated the classic Instagram experience, but... 1) The ads are very intrusive. It's often not clear how to close them. 2) The paid filter subscription nag is obnoxious. If you try to publish a photo with a filter, you are sent to a subscription screen with no explanation. When you use a filter there is no explanation of which are free. 3) Signing up for an account was confusing. I would not recommend this app to my late boomer friends.

This app used to be a 5/5 filter app with ad-free lifetime premium. Now they have moved to a subscription model and if you don't subscribe, ads appear after nearly every picture, making the app almost unusable. I'm switching to an alternative after using this app for years. (Don't bother replying to tell me about your subscription service. I don't want to pay a recurring fee. You ruined your app.)
