If you are nostalgic for the days when you had to wait longer than a nanosecond to have your pictures developed, the 1-Hour Photo app might appeal to you. This photography app makes you wait one hour for your digital pictures to appear, giving reference to the somewhat dated idea of one hour photo development services from photographers.
In addition to giving into your sense of nostalgia, the 1-Hour Photo app will also prevent you from reviewing and retaking your pictures. The intention is to make you savor the moment and to live in the memory rather than rushing through it. Adding even more to the old school charm, the digital 'prints' appear in black and white.
The free app from Nevercenter is available from the Apple Store.
