Y2K digicam & retro camera: CCD film look, disposable flash and LED date stamp
Pocket Digicam turns your phone into a Y2K point-and-shoot digital camera from around 2000. No filter strip, no manual controls: pick a vintage camera, look at the small LCD and press the shutter. The camera does the rest (old file size, CCD colour, JPEG crunch, flash and an orange LED date stamp) and saves the photo to your gallery.
No watermark, no account.

CAMERA SHOP
Browse digicams, 35mm film, single-use, instant, toy, flip phone and camcorder shelves. Each has a before-and-after slider and specs. Try any Pro camera in the live preview: what it shoots waits in Drafts until it is yours. Works offline.
SHOOT A ROLL LIKE REAL FILM
Load 12 exposures and shoot blind until the roll is developed; the first and last frames catch a light leak. Develop now, or send it to the lab for an hour, a night or three days. Each roll ends with a contact sheet.
SHOOT LIKE IT'S 2003
• Flash off, auto or on: the torch on the back camera, a white screen for front selfies.
• Seven-segment LED date stamp: pick the order, ink colour and corner, or turn it off.
• Live pictures: save a moment as a video loop, boomerang or GIF.
• Burst, self-timer (3 or 10 s with beeps), grid and haptics.
• Front and back camera; mutable shutter sound (some regions always play it).
• Saved to Pictures/Pocket Digicam at the old file size, dated in EXIF.
PHOTO BOOTH
Switch to BOOTH: one press takes four pictures after beeping countdowns, printed with the date as one strip. The strip on white is free. Pro adds the 2×2 grid and black, pink or lilac frames.
EDIT OLD PHOTOS, SAME TREATMENT
Import a photo with the Android photo picker and the chosen camera develops it the same way, date stamp and all. Set exposure, white balance, contrast and look strength, crop and rotate, add a frame, decorate with stickers and doodle with a gel pen. The app only sees the photo you pick.
FREE AND PRO
Free forever: nine cameras, camera of the day, today's date, flash, rolls of 12, the booth strip, import and editing, unlimited shots.
Pocket Digicam Pro adds:
• All 17 Pro cameras, and Pro cameras added in later updates
• A custom date: a birthday, an anniversary or any year you like
• HD files: the full-size picture from any camera
• Longer rolls of 24 or 36 exposures
• Booth grid and colour frames, and more sticker packs
Pro is a yearly or monthly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase through Google Play; a Pro camera can also be bought alone, at prices shown in the app. Yearly starts with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers, and Lifetime has a launch price until December 28; any offer is shown in the app before you confirm. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in Google Play.
YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR PHONE
Photos are developed on the phone, never uploaded. No sign-in. Camera permission is only for taking pictures; no location or microphone. To fix bugs, the app sends anonymous usage counts and crash reports through Firebase, never photos; switch them off in Settings.
