It's 1984, and you've got a VHS camcorder! It'll look that way when you record and send old, messed up-looking retro videos to friends. They'll swear you built a time machine: "OMG, how'd you shoot that?"
With Rarevision VHS, you'll make home movies that look and sound like real retro video tapes pulled out of storage after 30 years. You can change the on-screen date to trick your friends, create flashing cheesy custom titles, glitch up the picture by shaking your device and use the zoom lens feature to emphasize those truly embarrassing moments!
Trust us, we asked literally everyone and it's unanimous: this app is freakin' rad!
Here's Why You Need It:
• Four words: Best. Throwback. Videos. Ever. • Create VHS-style retro videos of your kids that look like the ones from your childhood • The only VHS cam app you should ever consider to capture your 80s and 90s-themed parties • Shoot your own "found footage" movie and become a big Hollywood director like those other guys • Make your kids' incredibly boring school plays actually rad • Impress the new girl by using our app to convince her you built a time machine • Pretend like you lived through the rad 1980s using our app!
What Rarevision VHS Can Do:
• Realism: the ORIGINAL and BEST VHS app for simulating the glitches of old videotape recordings • Import videos and give them the VHS look • Make your own signature look using the old-school picture adjustment menu • Create your own animated titles for the ultimate in on-screen awesomeness • Change the on-screen date so people think you're way younger (or older) than you really are • Glitch the picture during recording using your finger or by shaking your device • Fake zoom feature dramatically enhances the cheese factor • Don't think we forgot to make things sound retro terrible. We didn't. • Up to 60p recording for a more accurate VHS video look (depends on device capability) • Widescreen recording option (but would you REALLY want to use it?)
*** PLEASE NOTE: THIS APP DOES NOT WORK ON ROOTED DEVICES WITH CUSTOM ROMS. If you don't know what "rooted" means, don't worry about this. ***
Recent changes: We're always thinking of you with each new update! This release includes: • Updated to work with recent versions of Android • Fixed navigation bar bug • Fixed incorrect camera aspect ratio on some Samsung devices • Other minor bug fixes

Excellent after 4 years of use I've finally got an app that has the VHS Camcorder experience. Very well done to the team of developers I'm so very proud of you.

Hey I just wanted to say that this is a great app for making your phone like an old camera, and I have no problems with it but can you please make it possible to zoom in and zoom out faster? And can you please add an option where you can take the bottom distortion like thing? I would appreciate it thank you

Can you make a mode of that vhs or real vhs for backrooms videos?

Hello I really like the app I just want a suggestion maybe we could add interlaced effect filter? Or video resolution settings. It would be a great feature. One star for now. 😁

It doesn't look authentic enough as the image quality is 1080p, so there should be an option to lower it
★☆☆☆☆Aylin Ünsal· Feb 5, 2026
Giving 1 star for visibility for this issue: The navigation bar is now always active, covering up the right side of the screen and making it difficult to press the Record button. This needs to be fixed!
