VSCO Cam – Now Available! – Find Out More About VSCO Grid Here

Well the developers have been teasing us long enough and now it’s time to download this fabulous app, that they are billing as ‘The standard of Mobile Photography’. The sample images that we have seen are incredibly impressive. There’s an incredibly interesting feature, perhaps above the others, which are impressive in their own right but one thing that really grabs our interest is the VSCO Grid which allows your images to be shown in a grid format within the app and online. You can share the images but there are no ‘likes’ or ‘comments’ areas, instead the developers want this to function solely as a gallery space and are adamant that this is not a social network. The developers state ‘to be clear, this is NOT intended to challenge Instagram. VSCO Grid is built for a different purpose with different goals.

VSCO Grid will initially be limited to a small but growing group of creators as new concepts and features are tested. The developers go on to say ‘we aren’t trying to build fake ‘hype’ or be elitist. Simply put, we must scale VSCO Grid properly for long term sustainability. If you are interested in creating a Grid, you will be able to let the developers know within the new VSCO Cam.

      I’m waiting too – no activation code yet! Looks very interesting though and I’m looking forward to it.

    Looks interesting. You can buy the whole lot of in cam purchases at the intro price of 6 US dollars, normally $16.
    Will play around with it today.

    Thanks Joanne and VSCO!

    Made the app free so we could pay a fortune for filters? The f2p method is deceiving. Also little functionality for anyone other than a iPhone 5 user. Quite a bummer, i’ll be going back to Afterglow (you can turn down the intensity of those FREE filters too…)
