It's pretty straightforward, but I would like an option to only download some of the photos from a roll

Hope there will be more films in the future but great app easy to use. Also interested to have quick tips how to take photos with the camera. I have troubles with the distance and how to well have centered photo, I have a bit of change when I capture with my eye through the lens and the result

I really wanted to like the Flashback but the app lets it down. Twice now it's had issues developing the pictures in the 'photo lab'. I've been trying to develop a roll for days and keep being met with the same error sign saying "it's taking longer than expected to develop your roll". Until the app is better developed I would suggest sticking with a regular film camera.

Cool except for the part where you "load" your camera with color film and get back b&w photos.
