App description: As a kid in the early 1990’s, we didn’t have “smart telephones” and fancy “connected eyeglasses” to take our photos for us. We did it the old-fashioned way: the Disposable Camera. We had to wind our own film, charge our own flash, and buy a whole new plastic-and-paper box when the film ran out. This Disposable Camera app recaptures some of those memories, and even includes a hidden feature that true fans of Disposable Cameras will remember.
