App doesn’t work & devs offer no support (even if you’re a paid subscriber!)

Downloaded RadCam in 2017, paid for the Pro version, and it worked great for about a year. I’ve been trying to use RadCam for a project, but I can’t record video, as the ‘viewfinder’ is completely covered by a glitch, making it impossible to see what you’re shooting. I was so determined to get it to work, I was willing to shoot blindly and adjust as necessary, but that wasn’t an option either, as RadCam crashes when you try to save what you’ve recorded.
I reached out for support, and still haven’t heard back. Even though I had already paid for RadCam several years ago, I signed up for their new subscription model to see if that might help (“surely they’ll respond to a paying customer!”) but no luck yet. I’m thinking they’re not actively updating RadCam or providing support of any kind, which is a huge bummer because 1) it’s probably the best VHS/camcorder app I’ve come across and 2) they can get away with charging folks a subscription for a product that DOESN’T WORK!

You guys did an excellent job with the creativity and design behind RadCam, but that just makes your lack of customer care and support and your audacity to charge a weekly/monthly/yearly subscription all the more and disappointing.

Please do not subscribe

So I downloaded RadCam and used it once and in order to save my video I had to subscribe. So I did this. But then it looked terrible and RadCam didn’t even have that many features. So I deleted it. For some reason I thought that me deleting it would have unsubscribed myself. That was dumb on my part. Then all of the sudden I kept getting bills on iTunes and it didn’t say what it was so I assumed it was a different app. So now, about 9 months later (never even touched RadCam again) I finally figured out that it was RadCam! THEY CHARGED ME $5 A WEEK. First of all RadCam is no where near worth that much. But if you want to be over charged for a terrible app then have at it

DO NOT BUY! 100% SCAM

I first download RadCam thinking that it would be free! (clearly i was mistaken) The only way for you to make a video on RadCam is for you to get premium! I get premium just to make one video (which wasn’t even good btw)! Also, premium is 4.99 a week! Right after I make my video I immediately delete RadCam thinking it won’t be able to charge me! The next week a get a credit card stamens saying i was charged by this stupid app! I redownload RadCam to try and opt out of premium, but in RadCam there is no such thing! I checked everywhere in RadCam and nothing can be done! I have no clue what to do?

BUYERS BEWARE!!!

You will be charged $4.99 per week for this useless app! Even if you delete RadCam ...charges will keep coming. Invoices will end up in your spam folder and unless you inspect your bank statements with a fine tooth comb...you will never know.

Apple shouldn’t allow dishonest app developers to prey on their most loyal customers! There are plenty of apps that you can download that are better and more honest about the cost to you!

If you’ve downloaded RadCam...check your bank statements. You will likely find a reoccurring WEEKLY charge of $4.99! Call Apple and file a complaint...then do your part to warn others.

Good app but poor execution

I'll be honest RadCam has everything to make a retro music video, however, I wish you weren't forced to pay a monthly membership it just doesn't make sense as RadCam. I wish the the developers would remove the memberships option and make it a one-time purchase app. I would be perfectly happy paying $1.99 or even $9.99 for RadCam if I only had to pay for this once. Please I hope the developers see this you've made a good app but stop being overcharging your app I would rather get a Netflix subscription then buy RadCam because you get more for your dollar!

ABSOLUTE TRASH 🖕🏼😡

So I downloaded RadCam, thinking that it would be cool since I can edit my photos and videos on there, but oh was I wrong.

Unlike any other app that is similar, there are little to no ads. But usually when one pops up, it freezes my screen for a couple minutes, then it crashes and I have to start over again! Not cool!

Not only that, but you have to pay for EVERYTHING. The price is very cheap for it, yes, but I’m not spending my money on an app that I can’t use because the limited version barely has anything! So at least let some premium/plus features be on the limited version. Otherwise RadCam is great.

I’m Disappointed

I was really excited for RadCam because my friends and I take loads of videos together, and this seemed like something we’d enjoy. It was not.

You can’t go more than a minute without a pop up ad, which I wouldn’t mind if the ads were letting me do ANYTHING, but there are almost no features available without premium, which is like... $4.99/ week???? Wayyy too much.

RadCam is also really shifty, like one page offers a 3 day free trial, but if you try to close it, there’s a pop up offering ‘the 7-day free trial’, as if they didn’t just offer 3 days. I honestly, bottom line don’t trust RadCam at all.

Don’t download unless you want to pay lots of $$$

So I initially downloaded RadCam because I saw a friend upload a video on instagram using it. I loved it and was like yes I need this!! I downloaded it thinking it was free.... nope. first thing to pop up is the ad for 3day free trial for premium.... no thanks. then another ad pops up for 7 day free trial... again, no thanks. it allowed me to upload a video but not to even view it without a big box in front of it saying **PREMIUM FEATURE TO SAVE VIDEO BUY PREMIUM**. I was annoyed but still thought ok it can’t be that bad let’s see how much it is for premium, screw it.... NOPE. $4.99/week?! Uh how about no! Not worth it. I found a free app that does the EXACT SAME THING except it’s free unless I want to purchase filters. this is why you should always read reviews first 🙃

this app is so bad now

it's always been a very very poorly made app. but i've been using RadCam for over a year and never had to pay and loved the end result, id be fine waiting the long amount of time to save the video. then i redownloaded it recently and there's a WEEKLY PAYMENT OF 5$?? that's insane. if you don't purchase it, there is literally nothing u can do on RadCam . u can't save videos and u have like 3 possible adjustments u can make on the video because the others are covered by a screen that is telling u to buy the upgrade. and almost every time i opened RadCam i was met by an ad that took over the entire screen with no X to exit out and it never went away unless i exited RadCam . so so so disappointed i can't use RadCam anymore because i used to use it for so many videos

Such a waste of time...🙄

So I tried out RadCam to see what features it has! I downloaded it and at first it seemed great and a useful app that I could use! So I picked out my video that I wanted to edit and I could pick one which I thought that was kind of dumb and stupid🙄, But I still wanted to give RadCam a shot so I kept on going. After I picked my video it said “Get premium to save your video!” And I was like okay...that’s really dumb like just to save a 15 second video?! Like really? I moved on and said ok. Then, a bunch of buttons just popped up and it was NOT well organized AT ALL! So I just did not click anything. A few weeks later I decided to give it another shot and in the middle trying to figure out what to do it keeps on asking me. “Get Premium to save your video.” Over “Get Premium to save your video” And over “Get Premium to save your video” And over again! It got so annoying that I deleted RadCam !!! So DO NOT and I say DO NOT DOWNLOAD RadCam

Great concept, deceptive money-making ploy

When I started using RadCam, I really loved it. As someone who isn’t typically a video taker, I found myself getting inspired to make a home video. I’m on vacation for several more days, and I was even planning on spending the five dollars for another week of premium, even though I’ve never spent a dollar on any other app. I was immediately turned off by the fact that you cannot turn off your subscription within RadCam . Many comments are from people desperately trying to do so. If you are one of these people, go to RadCam Store and select manage subscriptions on your account to end it. Don’t spend a dollar on RadCam. They want to take your money and have robbed many people blind by preying on their sentimentality. If not for this insidious scheme, I would have gladly rated RadCam 5 stars.

Don’t have an alarm go off on your phone!

I love the look of RadCam, but there is an issue that ruined a memory for me. I was recording a birthday surprise with this to have a vintage look. As I was filming, an alarm went off on my phone with the usual notification dropdown. I swiped up to shut it off and the video was still recording fine (so I thought).

When I went to rewatch the video the alarm caused RadCam to shut off the recording audio, which meant I have no audio from that point on.

On a positive note this happened with the free trial! I won’t be paying for RadCam.

Used to be awesome but…

I guess the devs got money hungry because now I have to pay for everything. Before the watermark on the video was subtle and blended in with the aesthetic, but now it’s sticks out like a sore thumb. Another thing in that 2/3 times that I’d tap on the camcorder, it would give me a 30 second ad that would bring me to RadCam Store if I touched any part of the screen. Used to be great, but now it’s not really worth it. I don’t have a problem with watermarks, just make it like the older version. Anyway, I hope the devs will read this and possibly change some bits about RadCam , but for now that’s all I have to say.

Yikes but not

RadCam has probably everything you’d need when making an aesthetically pleasing film. In my opinion, I don’t think it’s worth $5.99/month. It’s got good features and has exactly what I want, but I’m a little upset that I have to pay $5.99/month just to save a video. I think that should be included in the free version, and the other features should be included in the subscription that way it’s easier for people. If someone really wants to edit their videos with everything, they’ll be happy to pay! If not, then they can just save their video and be done. Maybe instead of a membership, just have an initial payment.

Great Potential

RadCam seems to have all of the features I was looking for, my home movies actually look like home movies.
I think RadCam should start up a whole lot faster though. Skip the logos and open straight into the Camcorder. Please make this happen, it would make RadCam a must have!
Also, when importing older videos, I get an, “Audio could not be extracted” error.

Otherwise, great work. Fantastic app, for cheap.

Apps great, but I it took away my upgrade..

So I have had RadCam for a long time, and it is really a great, cool app and I have seen it improve with more filters and different things you can do with pictures/videos. The only problem is I just got a new phone and it took away the upgrade I paid for so it won’t let me do anything now. I don’t know if I should pay again or not, long story short great app but if you are getting a new phone be careful!!

Change glitch setting

I will give RadCam 5 stars as soon as you change the glitch settings so that you can turn the glitch off. When you import a photo and adjust the settings to change the effects the glitch is always on the picture and it is messing them up. Make a way so you can remove the glitch setting completely.

Best VHS App! 📹👌🏽🔥

I tried all VHS apps and this is definitely the best!
The effects are very close to genuine vhs camcorder and a lot of options are available! RadCam is updated very often with new effects and improvements.
Premium version is worth it as it unlocks cool features and give more options to get awesome effects (3D/RGB effect, contrast, glitches, etc)
Even the glitch effects are better than most glitch app!
Highly recommended!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think it was a really good I want to do a mini series for my friend says I’m moving and this was the perfect camera to use I really like it I sure as my friends and family and they all downloaded it it gives the special effects that you might need a long time to edit but for the most of it it was a great app and I really enjoyed it and I also think that the stickers they give you for messages are reverie vintage but at the same time cool

READ THIS!!!

It’s actually extremely great app I did not use it for video editing or picture and then I used it just for the making of the video it worked just like a real VHS you were able to save it and it was great! it clearly said that when you download it you need to make in game purchases so for everyone who saying that they were so surprised they need to buy a pack so they can save a 15 second video clip that they edited from the camera roll, it’s exactly what they said they’re gonna have to do. But you get to create your own videos on VHS for free and I think RadCam works 100% fine. you should definitely get RadCam sorry if you think not but I do really think it’s a great app and totally me worth my time. But if you want to edit a video for free, don’t get RadCam . But if you wanna Make your own vidéos on VHS then I HIGHLY recommend RadCam.

Such a waste of time...🙄

So I tried out RadCam to see what features it has! I downloaded it and at first it seemed great and a useful app that I could use! So I picked out my video that I wanted to edit and I could pick one which I thought that was kind of dumb and stupid🙄, But I still wanted to give RadCam a shot so I kept on going. After I picked my video it said “Get premium to save your video!” And I was like okay...that’s really dumb like just to save a 15 second video?! Like really? I moved on and said ok. Then, a bunch of buttons just popped up and it was NOT well organized AT ALL! So I just did not click anything. A few weeks later I decided to give it another shot and in the middle trying to figure out what to do it keeps on asking me. “Get Premium to save your video.” Over “Get Premium to save your video” And over “Get Premium to save your video” And over again! It got so annoying that I deleted RadCam !!! So DO NOT and I say DO NOT DOWNLOAD RadCam

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!! This app is SPAM!!

I can’t believe Apple allowed RadCam in the store! From the instant it opens, you will be presented with endless bulls$!t ads. It opens in a full screen that will not allow you to exit the program. I had to hard reboot my iPhoneX to get out of RadCam! Install at your own risk. I suspect all positive reviews are fake.

Finally, while you’re trying your hardest to kill RadCam, you’ll get a convenient offer to unlock it for a mere $4.99 a week!!! That’s 20 bucks a month folks. Not even OmniFocus has ripped me off for that much money. Pass on this one and save yourself a big headache.

This is NOT that BAD!!!!!

RadCam is a pretty good and I honestly don’t understand what all the mean comments are about. RadCam is aesthetically pleasing and actually really nice for videos or pictures. There are tons of comments saying that this is a useless stupid app and don’t know why this was ever made?!! Like have some respect, a person took their time to make an app like this,,, you know people have entire of opinion but like RadCam can be useful for some people.

crashes constantly 😬

I tried RadCam, and well let’s just say I ended up deleting it that same day. I clicked on import video, chose my video, clicked done, and it said I should get premium? I was about to click the ❌ until it crashed! I tried over and over and it did the same exact thing. RadCam was a waste of my time. :(
