*** Free, with no in-app purchases *** *** Featured on CNET, Time, Uncrate, and PetaPixel *** 1 Hour Photo brings a surprising new experience to mobile photography - it makes all your shots more magical by making you wait an hour before you get to see the results (using our gorgeous, proprietary film emulations). Stop getting distracted in the moment by reviewing your photos as they're being taken - your special moments remain all about the moments themselves when you can't see the photos until later. By the time you see your photos, the moments they've captured have already become memories, which changes how you feel about them forever. Nobody can veto a photo right after it's taken, since everyone has to wait an hour to see the results. Each photo becomes a little present to your future self. It's surprisingly exciting when the notification arrives telling you your photos are ready and you get to see what exactly you captured an hour or more ago. We dare you to try it out!

Incredible Photo App

“Simple, yet significant.” The 1 Hour Photo app is a wonderful departure from the fast, instantaneous and ultimately hollow experience that the speed of the normal camera app offers. Waiting an hour makes me appreciate the photos so much more, because usually I’m looking at them days later. There’s a sense of memory that’s baked in, something I can’t alter and only exists once. It’s the closest feeling to printing out film photos I can think of. A true gem of an app.

This app doesn’t do anything except make you wait an hour to see your photos. Nothing is done to the photo.
