36 frames per roll, a small viewfinder, no preview, no delete. Finished rolls develop for 48 hours, then come back as a contact sheet. Real film emulation, all on-device: no accounts, no feed, no tracking. The camera is free; film is bought by the roll.
The 48 hour wait for contact sheets is honestly such a cool idea, but I'd love a simple in-app timer or estimated return date once I drop off a roll so I'm not just refreshing hoping my shots came back.
@nuriyeiujd Thank you, this is exactly the tension I was most worried about getting wrong. Good news: you're already covered. The moment you finish a roll it shows a live countdown on the Rolls screen (a little film canister that fills as it develops), and you get a notification the second it's ready, so no refreshing and no guessing. The wait is meant to be a discipline, not a cruelty. I do like the idea of a plain "ready ~Thursday afternoon" datestamp sitting next to the countdown though, writing that one down.
