I wanted to share my new favorite iPhone app tonight! It's called VSCO Cam (you can see lots of beautiful examples on their site). I love and use a LOT of iPhone apps, but this is my new favorite because it's simple but gives you a lot of creative control. All of the photos above are my own iPhone photos edited with VSCO Cam.
I hope some of your download it and enjoy it as much as I do! If you have a favorite iPhone app, let me know in the comments. xo. elsie

Love this app too!!
I love this app, being a vSCO user for my commercial work, I love it! x
Thanks for sharing! Being that I feel like you are the photo app queen, do you know which app or filter that makes those little sparkles mostly seen on Instagram? I am not sure if I’m bored of seeing them but I’ve always been curious…
My favourite app for editing is Camera+. I also love Hipstamatic, and Instagram, of course. Diptic & Quadcamera are fun for playing around.
Best wishes from Berlin, Jenni

I decided to download this app after I saw your post and I just love it! It’s a fun change from the Instagram filters. Thank you so much for recommending it! 🙂
It seems that it can do more with the editing of the images that means this application is going to face a competition with photoshope and many more.
Do you think that the functionality is better than Instagram? It kinda looks similar- what are your thoughts on the comparison?

nice.. 🙂 http://lovesimplegreen.blogspot.com/
Wow! You’ve inspired me to find an android app for photos – I’m in the minority, but I don’t get the apple thing – I like buttons!! I’m always cleaning touch screens… I must have greasy fingers…
Thanks for keeping me creatively fresh!

Love the app, but LOOOOOVE the puppies!

the puppies are so sweet….I have a mini doxie too so Dolly makes my heart so happy! 🙂
Also…I absolutely love VSCO cam! the filters are as subtle or intense as you want them to be!
have the vsco presets for lightroom -> they are awesome too!
i am becoming very addicted to you’re blog. Love everything!

Aww super cute! Does the app also create photo collages like this one, or did you splice them together yourself?
I take so many photos with my phone and the apps are fun.

ooooo! your sunglasses!!!! where oh where did you get those?
I loved the photos ♥
I have an android phone and my favorite camera app is pixlr-o-matic. It has a huge cache of filters and effects and is also super easy to use. Love it.
those orange sandals are to die for…especially if orange is your favorite color, like me!!Sadly, I have a smartphone so no iphone apps for me:(

This is the second post today I’ve read about the VSCO app. Say no more–I’m sold. Commence installing now…
Love the saltwater sandals!
I’m a pro photographer and I love it! They have amazing Lightroom Actions too. I am IN LOVE with the way the Actions feel and look like the film I used to print on in the darkroom, the phone app is so fun.

After reading this, I decided to try out the app myself and I was impressed! I used it at a wedding I was at last night 🙂 Woop woop!
Might give it a try, but currently addicted with Camera + !!
Thank you Elsie for a wonderfully positive blog! There is such a negative nancy attitude in this world of ours and I appreciate all the fun, uplifting content on a Beautiful Mess! I have a question for you, my husband and I have lived abroad for 3 years and are soon to be returning to the states permanently and will be purchasing iPhones (FINALLY) upon arrival. What apps do you use on a daily basis? I fully intend to purchase many of the photography apps you have recommended but beside from those, do you have other favorites you can’t live without? 🙂
I use the CrossProcess app all the time! Their new ShakeIt Photo app is pretty cool too.
How exciting that your book is nearly finished! – I have been so busy, I barely get to say hello anymore. My fave apps: PictureShow, Frametastic, 100Cameras, Bleach Bypass, and newly discovered Lens+. So happy for all of your continued success! Your hard work is surely paying off! XO
Aaaaa…!!!so cute!!!<3 all your photos!!!And your sunglasses tooo...!!!But I have to close my mouth now fron my surprise...<3!

I almost bought those apple sunglasses! (: Gotta love Urban Outfitters.
great tip!
Looks amazing! i will be checking this out SOON!
i love hipstomic. I have been looking for a photo app that you can edit after taking the picture, but has a higher resolution than instagram.
http://ahikkifromk-nikki.blogspot.com/
I like Instagram, Hipstamatic, Photosynth (it takes panoramic pictures) & Pudding cam
Cool! I’m getting my first Iphone at the end of the month and definitely gonna download this app. I think I will be busy for the first few days 😉

I’m so glad I’ve read your blog for years. I finally got an iPhone last week and I can’t emphasize how much I love this app. Thanks for always posting lovely things for us to discover.
