VSCO is popular image editing and sharing app for mobile devices. Like other image sharing apps such as Instagram, VSCO provides editing features and filters, and allows users to share their pictures with other members on the platform.

Most users started using the VSCO as a simple editing tool. However, most individuals have started using the platform as their main source of inspiration because it allows them to add unique and interesting filters that can make even the simple photos interesting.

According to Urban Dictionary, to qualify as a VSCO girl you must:

1. Wear an oversized T-shirt with Nike shorts or a tube top and jean shorts.
2. Wear Vans, Crocs or Birkenstock shoes.
3. Wear a shell necklace.
4. Always have a Hydro Flask and a scrunchie (or dozens if you believe the memes)

Unlike most social media platforms, VSCO does not have like or comment features. Users also can’t see who is following them. The privacy settings that VSCO offers are slim to none. Users don’t have the option to make their accounts private, so anyone can see their photos that they share.

Okay for teens who want to take a break from being too social. VSCO is rated 12+ in the app store, and the Terms state that anyone under the age of 13 is prohibited from using the service. And many will use the app to edit and use the filters, then share to another social network such as Instagram.

VSCO’s terms of service do not allow users under 13, so the app should be blocked for anybody under that age by parental control software.

VSCO is a family of aesthetics named in reference to a photography app called VSCO (formerly known as VSCO Cam), created by Joel Flory and Greg Lutze in 2011. VSCO gained prominence with its in-app suite of features that allow users to edit with preset filters and tools.

Despite its drawbacks, VSCO is a solid editing tool for teens. Users will find that even the features in the free version are enough to create unique images.

Is VSCO X Worth It? My answer is, definitely, yes. VSCO X is worth the price you pay and I will be keeping it. For the modest price of $19.99/year you’re getting some killer presets, great editing tools and you should be able to shorten your editing time by quite a bit.

VSCO membership costs $19.99/year and comes with a free 7-day trial. You can also use the app for free, but the functionality will be limited to some basic filters, editing tools like Contrast and Saturation, and browsing community content.

VSCO is available as a free app (with in-app filter purchases) for iPhone and some Android devices.

VSCO charges $20 a year for a membership, which also gives subscribers access to additional filters and borders.

Four presets will be available with a VSCO X membership at launch, which goes for $19.99 a year. The paid plan will be the only way you can access Film X presets for now, but VSCO should be releasing them for individual purchases later next year.
