Edwin comes with four nice cameras:
DEFAULT — Do you remember the much beloved instant cameras? Edwin will take a snapshot and the picture emerges while you shake Edwin. Or just let him do it for you.- OLD TIME — With Edwin the good ol’ times return. Take a family picture, shake Edwin and you can tell everybody it’s 80 years old.
- LOMO STYLE — Oversaturated and stylish. Edwin will turn every photo into a vivid one — just like life.
- HOLGA STYLE — Do you remember these cheap Chinese cameras that never worked out? Edwin re-engineered them and now the results are surprising.

AppStore Link: Edwin - The Better Camera - Price £1.19/$1.99
Editors comments: I was fortunate to be one of the beta testers for this update, and whilst the app was OK, for me it was nothing to write home about. I had planned to post news about this apps release back on the 7th of December, but due to the Molinker app scam news that we broke around that same date, the post got delayed. Had I posted about this app back then, I would have commented that this app was way over priced in my opinion for what it does, however yesterday the priced was dropped from £2.99/$4.99 to £1.19/$1.99, so at that price if you are looking for an app to frame your iPhone photos then this is a good buy at this new low price.

Make the option to shake just that, an option. PLEASE!
The old Price of 3.99€ is stillup at the German store. Too sad.
Same goes for the Swedish store.
