After an extended beta test period, VSCO Cam for Android is now available to download from the Google Play Store. VSCO Cam is one of the most popular photography apps for iOS, as it combines a simple-to-use interface with powerful filters and photo editing tools. The app is free and available for most devices with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher.
Developing for Android wasn't without its challenges, but VSCO co-founders Joel Flory and Greg Lutze tell The Verge that it was a necessary step in the progress of the app. "We knew it was something we wanted to do, a lot of people have been asking for it, and we viewed it as a challenge," notes Lutze. Despite having a relatively small team of developers, VSCO was able to replicate all of the photo-processing features of the iOS app on Android, so users won't miss out on the countless filters and presets that have made VSCO Cam so appealing.
"The number one goal was to build [for Android] with the same level of excellence in the editing capabilities," says Lutze. Since VSCO Cam's sparse user interface doesn't adhere to conventional iOS paradigms, it doesn't look completely out of place on Android as other ported apps. The filter tools (known as "presets" within the app) are applied the exact same way on Android as on iOS, and the extensive editing tools have the same level of depth on either platform.
