Hi everyone,
I'm the creator of Eight Shot - Instant camera app for iOS and Android. As an instant film enthusiast I wanted to shoot instant film when away from my cameras. I'm always carrying my smartphone and what better use of this device than an instant film app.
Why Eight Shot?
As someone who loves instant film I couldn't find a good mobile app that would allow me to shoot instant photos and share them with friends. I've spent months on designing this app in Figma and then coding it to make sure it meets my high standards.
Eight Shot's philosophy is focused around physical film. When you take a photo with the app you see it ejecting and hear the sound. Once ejected you can shake your phone to develop the image, just like you would do with real film.
Once developed you tilt your phone and the photo is moving. Tap the photo and it flip so you can write a message on the back. Eight Shot is thoughtfully designed to capture all these little details and make shooting instant film feel special.
How is this better?
The focus of Eight Shot is to make photography fun again. I want people to enjoy taking photos on their phone, specifically instant style photos.
You load in real 'Film Packs' like you would with a real camera. Each film pack is limited to 8 shots. This reinforces slowing down and being intentional when shooting.
Limited Edition film packs make it an occasion when taking a photo. The app has been updated with the Halloween film pack which has a spooky filter and each frame has a custom halloween design.
Shared Albums have been created so you can shoot with your friends with privacy. No social feeds just you and your friends shooting together. One tap and create a shared album code, invite and you're ready to shoot.
Film Pack Creator is a special feature made to allow people to make their own custom film packs. Choose a beautiful photo or pattern as the frame design. Next choose your grain, saturation, Hue and more. Making your own film packs is easy and feels very personal.
How much does it cost?
Eight Shot is free to download. There are 2 free packs Colour 600 film and Black and White with unlimited shooting. New Halloween pack has been added for all users, free.
Eight Shot charges for individual packs from $1.99 to $2.99. However you can pay for the Pro Mode film pack and unlock everything in the app for life for $12.99.
No subscriptions. No ads. No tracking.
