If you’re old enough to remember Polaroid cameras, or you just love fun retro camera apps, then Apict for the Nokia Lumia 800 is made for you. Letting you take great-looking retro pics on your Windows Phone and add effects to existing photos, this super-affordable app lets you get best of even the dullest image.

Nokia Lumia 800: 8-megapixel camera in detail

Apict costs just £0.79p and is available in a tiny 1MB file, which you can download and install in seconds on your Nokia Lumia 800. Once installed, you can then select to either capture a new image using the 8-Megapixel camera, or you can choose an existing image from your Windows Phone photo library.

Once you’ve got your photo loaded, you can crop the image to the dimensions you want by dragging your finger on the Lumia’s touchscreen and resizing the easy-to-use onscreen crop box. You can then also rotate the photo left or right with an equally easy tap of two accessible icons at the bottom of the screen.

With that done, you can then add a caption to your photo by typing into the onscreen text box below your image. Then all you have to do is tap the OK button and a preview of your image is created, with retro Polaroid effects, image cropping and text caption all added, for you to check out the results.

If you like how the pic looks, then you can just tap the Save button to save a copy into your Nokia Lumia 800’s Windows Phone Camera Roll, or you can even tap any of three Facebook, Flickr and Twitter buttons to instantly upload your photo to your preferred socials networks and share the image with friends.

The whole process of using Apict is incredibly easy and the results it creates are fantastic. And to ensure the app works as fast as you want and provides the level of image quality you need, you can even choose your preferred image output quality with a quick tap, to get the app working how you need.

And thanks to the Nokia Lumia 800’s high-resolution 8-Megapixel camera, the results are always pin-sharp, so the eye-catching retro Polaroid effects and captions are just the icing on the cake. Letting you spice up your photo library in just a few clicks, we’re addicted to Apict already after just a day using it

Whether you yearn for the good ol’ days of beautiful analogue photography, or you’re so young that you think Polaroid is an illness you catch abroad, Apict is a great app that everyone can enjoy. And since it costs less than a quid to install it on your Nokia Windows Phone, it’s well worth giving it a try.
