Overview

• Cassette launched on August 12 on the App Store with a free download and optional ColorPlus subscription tiers at $0.99 per month, $5.99 per year or a $7.99 lifetime unlock.
• The app transforms videos stored in the Photos library into virtual VHS tapes, grouping clips by year or album for auto-play sessions and a randomized “Take Me Somewhere” feature.
• Its retro interface overlays date, time and location in a pixel-style font and supports AirPlay mirroring to Apple TV for a full-screen experience.
• Early reviews praise Cassette’s nostalgic UX and serendipitous video discovery but highlight limitations such as no landscape playback on iPhones and limited scrubbing controls.
• Developer Devin Davies has filtered out screen recordings, is working on TikTok clip exclusion and plans further interface updates to refine content filtering and playback mechanics.
