Comments on BlackCam - Black&White Camera for Android

★★★★☆ Martha Kliem · Nov 22, 2020

The classic black and white is very useful for determining color values.

★★★★★ jana masri · Sep 22, 2018

Taking black and white photos has a very romantic filling to it and for that I like this app because it reminds me of the old photography age with easy and nice way plus having fun.

★★★★★ Richard Ries · Feb 17, 2022

An excellent B+W Camera app. I LOVE the ability to re-arrange -- and even shut off -- the filters. This allows me to not see filters I don't want, and put my preferred ones to the front of the list. A++, XnView team! --Rich

★★★★★ JP de Vries · Jul 1, 2025

Very helpful for doing value studies, that is, to help me see light and dark regardless of hue

★☆☆☆☆ David Stewart · Aug 19, 2021

Junk app. Very slow to take photos exist only in the app (at very low resolution) and you cant get to them by going into the folder. You have to email them one by ome to get them anywhere other than inside this app.

★★☆☆☆ Taurug Baca · Sep 6, 2019

It has a couple of effects. One of them does absolutely nothing past the preview (e.g. re-saves unchanged original if only that effect is used, even though preview is an obvious-speckled effect).

★★☆☆☆ A Google user · Feb 14, 2019

A photo filters app with an interface handling the camera. Ads and beyond that not much original or something different from a thousand other apps in the Play store.
