Unlike other photography apps that try to help you take extremely high quality pictures on your smartphone, the Aestheticam app is calling itself "the world's worst camera app." If you are nostalgic for the early days of the Internet and miss Microsoft Paint photo editing, this mobile application is one you need as soon as possible. It lets you take photos and remixes them into vintage Paint-style creations that are not nearly as sophisticated as anything on your Instagram feed, but is strangely soothing anyway.
With a goal of to "create the worst possible camera experience for iOS," the Aestheticam app (styled as A E S T H E T I C A M) lets you bring back the 90s with you wardrobe and makeup choices as well as your smartphone photography.
