VHS Camcorder is a clever app that allows you to take a video on your Android phone and essentially make it look like it's a video that came straight out of a 1980s home camcorder unit. This means you can add a variety of effects, including lines of static, the classic date and time in the bottom of the screen, grainy effects that make a video look older, and more.

You can get truly creative with an app like this. It is ideal for school projects, videos that are supposed to take place in the 1980s. The app is easy to use, and once you add the effect, you can save the file so it can be uploaded to social networks or shared in any number of ways.

Even better: The effects you can add aren't just limited to video. If you want, you can add a variety of audio effects that can make your video sound older. These include various skips and "bloops" in the sound.

The program is very easy to use. Even people who aren't tremendously technologically proficient should be able to use it well.

You do actually have to pay for this app, but at $2.99, it is relatively inexpensive. This can be annoying if you only need to use it for one use, but it doesn't change the fact that the app is very useful at fulfilling its purpose.
