VHS Glitch Camcorder Reviews

by Boxologie

Downloaded VHSGlitchCamcorder in 2017, paid for the Pro version, and it worked great for about a year. I’ve been trying to use VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder, 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.

So I downloaded VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder again) I finally figured out that it was VHSGlitchCamcorder! THEY CHARGED ME $5 A WEEK. First of all VHSGlitchCamcorder is no where near worth that much. But if you want to be over charged for a terrible app then have at it

I first download VHSGlitchCamcorder thinking that it would be free! (clearly i was mistaken) The only way for you to make a video on VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder to try and opt out of premium, but in VHSGlitchCamcorder there is no such thing! I checked everywhere in VHSGlitchCamcorder and nothing can be done! I have no clue what to do?

You will be charged $4.99 per week for this useless app! Even if you delete VHSGlitchCamcorder ...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 VHSGlitchCamcorder...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.

I'll be honest VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder. 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder because you get more for your dollar!

So I downloaded VHSGlitchCamcorder, 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder is great.

I was really excited for VHSGlitchCamcorder 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.

VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder at all.

So I initially downloaded VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 🙃

by Alexandria O.

it's always been a very very poorly made app. but i've been using VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder . 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder . so so so disappointed i can't use VHSGlitchCamcorder anymore because i used to use it for so many videos

So I tried out VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder !!! So DO NOT and I say DO NOT DOWNLOAD VHSGlitchCamcorder

When I started using VHSGlitchCamcorder, 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder . Many comments are from people desperately trying to do so. If you are one of these people, go to VHSGlitchCamcorder Store and select manage subscriptions on your account to end it. Don’t spend a dollar on VHSGlitchCamcorder. 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 5 stars.

I love the look of VHSGlitchCamcorder, 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder.

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 VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder , but for now that’s all I have to say.

by Lalajules

VHSGlitchCamcorder 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.

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

Otherwise, great work. Fantastic app, for cheap.

So I have had VHSGlitchCamcorder 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!!

by Beccanne525

I will give VHSGlitchCamcorder 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.

by DishtiDope

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! VHSGlitchCamcorder 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!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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

by Team Breath ✅

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 VHSGlitchCamcorder works 100% fine. you should definitely get VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder . But if you wanna Make your own vidéos on VHS then I HIGHLY recommend VHSGlitchCamcorder.

I can’t believe Apple allowed VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder! Install at your own risk. I suspect all positive reviews are fake.

Finally, while you’re trying your hardest to kill VHSGlitchCamcorder, 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.

by Isla Varela

VHSGlitchCamcorder is a pretty good and I honestly don’t understand what all the mean comments are about. VHSGlitchCamcorder 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 VHSGlitchCamcorder can be useful for some people.

by Char_radd

I tried VHSGlitchCamcorder, 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. VHSGlitchCamcorder was a waste of my time. :(
