About this app

Analog film camera and photo editor for iPhone. Authentic film looks, live viewfinder preview, collages, and albums — fully offline, no account required.

Phomo brings together beautiful, straight-out-of-camera film styles, powerful but simple editing tools, custom borders, flexible grids, and album management in one easy package.

Avoid the flat “smartphone look” with Phomo’s authentic film simulations. Color shifts, film grain, bloom, halation, chromatic aberration, and more are built into each preset, so you can get the look you want in no time. Preview a style live in the camera and apply it automatically when you capture a photo, or apply different styles to any photo on your device. All edits are non-destructive, so you can try as many looks as you want, or revert to the original at any time.…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
