Wow mighty nice photos! Can share the app? Is it available for android?

Nice photos! If the man on the platform was a little better dressed, you couldn't tell that 185 picture wasn't from the 1980s.

Thank you guys. I was fun to play around and create these pics.

The app is called "ShakeIt". After taking the photo you can shake the phone to speed up the developing process of the image. You have to take care not to throw the phone away while doing so (trust me, it happens... like with the real polaroid photos)

I used the free lite version which is around 5 years old by now. Don't know if there is an android version, but i guess there is.

True. I thought so too.
