The app is just four bucks, and with the ability to even spoof the video’s recorded date, you finally have the opportunity to re-shoot all of your embarrassing childhood videos to make yourself look a lot cooler than everyone else who survived the ’80s.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a true camcorder-style video without an obnoxious date stamp. The VHS Camcorder harkens back to this bygone era by converting your pristine digital video into something that looks like it was shot on tape and chewed by the machine one too many times.
If you want to shoot “vintage” photos with your iPhone, there are apps like Instagram. And if the image quality isn’t bad enough, you can make it worse by dragging a finger around the screen or by tilting the device.
VHS Camcorder is an app for iOS by post-production software company Rarevision that imitates a number of quirks found in classic VHS recordings.
Video and audio quality aside, the app is rather modern as it includes a clip viewer for easy playback, deleting and sharing of clips. It also comes with three frame rate choices: 24, 25 or 30.
Sadly, all this 80s technology doesn’t come cheap as the app will set you back a whopping £2.99.

But if you’ve got the cash and want to relive the totally tubular ’80s, the VHS Camcorder app should do the trick.
