Though a bit confusing at first, PAPER CAMERA has some super-cool features and lots of flexibility. Effects and adjustments are displayed in real time so it's fun just to walk around examining the world through different lenses. The Andy Pop effect divides images into four panels in four distinct colors, and Old Printer gives that retro black-and-white dot matrix look. The app uses both front and back cameras and can pull photos from the gallery and installed cloud apps as well as share to Facebook, Google Drive, Twitter, email, and more. Paper Camera is a fun way for kids to get creative with their photos.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
