Polaroid Reviews

by Tails57xoxo

Followed the recommendations and removed phone protector, changed brightness settings to full brightness, once you place the phone down, it makes the “ding” sound as if it recognized the photo but the led keeps flashing and when you press the red button, nothing happens. Tested this out on my iPhone 7plus and it works like it should, but never worked with the iPhone 11. Contacted tech support but never heard back from them.

I would return it but this was a gift to my daughter. She’s disappointed and frustrated it doesn’t work on her phone. Waste of money for whoever gifted this to her.

Since receiving this I have only been able to print one photo and it was after adjusting my phone 100 times. I can’t even tell you what I did to get it to print but it will not do it again. Every photo I try to print the device blinks rapidly and gives me the “ding” that is supposed to signify it’s ready to develop but never stops blinking and won’t let me print. Does this with all phones and they will not answer my calls or call me back. Terrible. So much money spent to be so disappointed

seems sometime with the one of the recent updates for the this app Lab that there’s a more greenish tint to the finished prints even after correctly allowing them to develop in darkness for no less than 30mins and having several days to set. this has been a consistent observation despite several different packs of film. and yes my iphone is properly set with full brightness and truetone, and night shift turned off. hopefully this has been reported and is being considered for a future update.

We have the this app lab... the photos either come out dark or over exposed even after messing with the settings 1-2 pictures come out great and the rest come out over or under exposed... the films are expensive, this app needs to come up with a preview feature to see how the Polaroids will come out with the current settings we have in Polaroid . Just a waste of money.
Yes True Tone is off screen brightness is all the way up, I followed all the instructions correctly, I’m just well lit pictures and we still have all these issues with exposure

When you scan the photo a black screen appears instead of the video. To get the video to appear you have to click the black screen, push play, and then click back. It will continue to play on a loop but it’s pretty shaky. I was hoping to utilize this for a project this week and regret doing the update.

by RobertDK

When I tell Polaroid to go to a different photo album, it hangs. Only option at that point on the screen is to hit cancel and go back one step
So I am only able to access what’s on the camera roll.
What can be done to fix this issue?

I like this camera a lot but the lighting is tricky to get a perfect shot.. I hate that it depends on what kind of film ur using also.. the film isn’t cheap so why can’t they all b of good quality so I can get my money’s worth..?
When I do get a good shot I love it but it takes time n lighting to do that.. I just wana hurry n capture the moment but hard with this camera.. other instant cameras I have can do that for me with a diff setting.. I love how its old school remade but needs better options but also easy ones to get that perfect pic.. oh n more Bluetooth options like seeing what my One Step + is seeing thru my phone to get that perfect pic without guessing.. maybe I need to study my camera more but I shouldn’t have to.. rt..?

When shooting with instant film cameras, there are inevitable sacrifices to be made as far as control goes. The this app app lets me do so much more with my OneStep+ than I could do with just the camera alone. The only feature I wish I could have, however, is an option to use a timer while also using other modes, like Portrait Mode or Voice Activation mode. Other than that, absolutely in love!

by Meteorite710

I use this for my this app lab and when I select the picture I want I go back into my gallery to edit the photo because there’s barely any options for editing within the this app app. Would like to see a change on editing but otherwise works great for printing my mobile pictures on old fashioned this app framed pictures turning new into vintage love it.

I just got my this app One Step + for Christmas and Polaroid has been the most useful in getting shots when you can manually push the red button on the camera. The different features Polaroid lets me use with my camera are all also very useful and the inspiration page on Polaroid has allowed me to gain better understanding of my camera. I highly recommend for anyone to download Polaroid if you have a this app camera that it’s meant for.

Polaroid and the Bluetooth feature of the this app OneStep+ is a total game changer for people who want the traditional this app look but also want to try to creative techniques and put a new twist on their art! I just received this camera for my birthday and I’m obsessed so far!

by Thomaspsgirl

So far no complaints. It was a Christmas gift from my husband & I loveeee it. I have the camera as well but I noticed I don’t use the camera as much since I got this. The pictures give off a more vintage look so if you’re not into that this isn’t for you.

by Ms.realreviews

I just got the One Step+ and Polaroid is amazingggg for taking different kinds of pics! It’s like a tool to enhance whatever you’re shooting. Already went through a whole roll Lmaoo. I intend to use it more this summer.

by Low Flume

I got a old sx-70 I’ve been blasting photos on. Polaroid is a easy way to upload with minimum glare/reflection . The one critique I would make is to let people submit their photos to be put on the inspiration page it’s a little bit stale and I would love to see new photos every week or so submitted by the community. Overall this is a great app though!

by JasEltareb

When I first received this camera I was kind of annoyed because I had a this app before and for me it was a bit difficult to use. But I decided to try again and when I saw it was also Bluetooth I was excited once again. Polaroid makes this so fun and easy to use. Thank you so much!!

by Chrissy_Chris24

I enjoy Polaroid it has all the devices on Polaroid , depending on which one you have. You can scan you pics into Polaroid for you can post it on your social media. It is easy to connect as well. I have the one step + camera and it works amazing. I also love how it have tutorials to help you out to get a better understanding how to use your camera as well. Overall great app!!

by Tnkight

I got this for Christmas from my lovely boyfriend, took a bit to learn about it and get the hang but I’m so fascinated by the way they incorporated the vintage film and style with new technology (the Bluetooth & app settings!) I wish the film wasn’t so much for just 8 in a pack, and bundles are great but still pricey! Love the filter caps and the lighting settings. 10/10 would 100% recommend to others!

by Edgy Kid

The scanner is what really sells it considering it’s hard to take pictures of polaroids without shadow, Polaroid does it perfectly. As well as offering tips and ideas to take pics with. My camera doesn’t do all the fun stuff the OneStep+ does because mine is the original OneStep from the 70’s but it even offers help for that! Wonderful app. It’s nice to find a place for polaroids that aren’t overrun but those rectangle Fuji-Film cameras everyone seems to have. They’re terribly ugly.

I was already in love with Polaroids and the 90s aesthetic they gave. And then i found out about the one step cameras from watching Dearra and Kens vlog. To say I immediately went and bought one the first chance i got would be grossly degrading my speed lol. Im in love with how the pictures come out, and I can see so many memories coming from this camera in the future.

by Wet N Dry

This is not the greatest of quality upload, but it definitely does the job if you want to share your polaroids. I gave it 5 stars due to the ease of the application. Obviously you can get better upload quality if you used an actual scanner, but I enjoy Polaroid for using to share via instagram or Facebook.

by Missbinx

If it connects to my phone via Bluetooth like my watch, why can’t I see through it’s camera like my watch can see through mine?

Really freaking irritating. I got the one step Plus for this exact reason.

Am I doing something wrong or should I return this expensive garbage? I only wanted to use it if I could see through my phone because I find the lens to be pretty inaccurate to what the camera sees :/ esp with lighting.

by Garbage 2020

First of all it’s $20!for only 8 photos hahahahaha
They are straight ripping every customer off.
Second the phrase one step and having Polaroid is another great scam. It doesn’t even connect to you camera to see photos you snap
You have to actually scan it to get the photo to the phone.
Welcome to the flinstones of high priced camera crap!

by AlexisBau

I would have given a 5 star if not for the lack of this feature. Having a My Photos library is nice but it would’ve been much nicer if we could organize and have a multi icon view of the photos. Maybe in the next update?

by JiminChimMochi

I think it’s would be really good if it would work for my instax mini film. I wanted to get this so I could take a photo of my Polaroids and save it to my camera but it only takes a photo of the actual photo and not the boarder with it.

by Pironio

Everything is fine camera and app wise, but please stop using hipster photographers to show off your cameras and for sample images. Let’s try using other artists that are actually making art. Not just waisting their parents money on figuring out why they aren’t special. Thanks.

by Wo23dodge

I heard about Polaroid from a girl who is a YouTuber so I downloaded it and tried it and I love Polaroid! I’ve been trying to take pictures of my polaroids for so long and nothing and Polaroid helps me so much! Love Polaroid.

by Photogkev

Love the easy use Bluetooth features! Scanning photos is awesome. Paying attention to important details like frame warping really makes the final product look flawless 👌🏼

by Rkg Glogrvv

The only thing I’d say is that I had to figure out myself that when you put the film in, a piece of the top is supposed to move down, so I was trying to put it in all the way. I thought I broke it, but that’s supposed to happen so it can fit.

by Stephwoodphoto

A fabulous updated version of the classic - so freaking cool that it can connect with your phone and deliver even more creative shots! Love this little thing ☺️

by Stevekars

The 1 thing I always wanted out of a this app camera is complete control over exposure! Polaroid brings it, plus a bunch of other cool features!

by Anitamigsymax

I just love Polaroid it’s so amazing it always tell you when there’s something wrong or when the picture is done.

by LibradoIV

Polaroid is a very helpful. It has many different features & also connects with the new
this app OneStep +. I wild highly recommend it to any instant photographers.
