  • Disappointed

    Bought the app, like it a lot, hate the constant offers on the front screen , also bought more access in one of their sales, access was not provided despite payment being taken. No contact back from the app on the feedback facility

    Have instructed Apple to provide a refund as the goods have not been provided, what a waste of time this has bern

  • The filters are good but there are 3 main problems

    I went for it and bought the full upgrade but they really missed a few important items that would make the whole app more user friendly.

    1) you can’t select the folder in your albums you want to search the the photo in. This means if you are looking for an old folder you have to scroll forever and most likely the app will crash before you can find said older photo.

    2) when you test out a filter you can’t zoom in. Only being able to see a small version of a photo without being able to zoom in on individuals faces is a pretty big issue to me.

    3) it’s very hard to compare filters. With there being so many, it would be better if you could select 3-5 possibilities for each photo so you can more easily narrow things down.

    There are probably much better black and white photo filters than this and Sadly I didn’t realize the app’s limitations till after I had paid for it.

  • Great Value - Sleek Interface

    This app is great for mobile editing. It’s easy to use and provides some great additional social media features, such as easy to use popular hashtags.

    The filters are really varied- even across the main black and white selection. Once you’ve acquired the relatively inexpensive in-app purchases, you’ll never need another set of black and white filters.

    The retro filters are very Instagrammy - nothing wrong with that- but a lot of folks will love that as an add-on. First and foremost this is a really easy to use and carefully curated set of black and white filters.

  • Great App

    This app is great for making black and white pictures pop. A lot of apps only focus on color and high definition filters but forget about the black and white filters. This is the only app that has only focused on the black and white photos. This app can make a photo more stunning without any color than most apps can with a full range of colors. Everyone should use this app.

  • My favorite app so far!

    This has been my go to app for photo editing. The various filters and textures have allowed me to create moody and haunting type photos. I love the wide range of effects it offers and the creative freedom I have found in using it. I’m quite new to photography and I don’t always understand all the technical in’s and out’s, but this app has made my learning process extremely enjoyable! Keep it up!

  • Great app and excellent customer service

    This app is a must have for b&w enthusiasts. There are a ton of filters and features. Easy to use and my pics look awesome.

    Customer service beats all hands down. I had a question and it answered quickly and completely. Then I needed some more advice and each time I had a reply in a matter of hours. The developers get 5 stars just for that. They truly want to make sure the customer is happy. The in app purchase is a one time fee. Not some crazy subscription like most apps. Well worth the cost.

  • BEST B&W FILTERS APP.

    I really love using this app to edit my photos with black and white filters. These black and white filters have their unique touch which makes your photos even more special. In addition, u have textures and light leaks to give your photos more detail and more uniqueness. However, my favorite feature on this app has to be the borders. I apply borders to every single pic i edit on this app. These borders give the photo a nice touch of classy which i love. If you are looking for some good B&W filters and some good editing, this app is for you. Amazing app.

  • Worth the money

    I use this for most of my b&w photography and editing. There’s so many different filters to use, textures to apply, and grain to change the look and feel of your photo. I use this to convey a nostalgic feeling to some and others make them into jaw-dropping clarity in b&w. I recently had an issue with the app crashing and not loading properly on my iPhone X (2017) and I messaged the developer Ritvik. His customer service was awesome and he was standing by to make sure I was satisfied with the app. The recent update really changed some details and I’m glad I downloaded this app and i tell my buddies about it too.

  • Mediocre and Obnoxious

    Downloaded this and then deleted it within about 5 minutes. The available free filters are perfectly standard B/W filters, nothing much different from what you’ll find in your phone or VSCO. You will be bombarded with requests to send you push notifications (no, believe it or not, no one needs a photo editing app sending them push notifications). You’ll also run into paid options really quickly and they don’t just tell you that you can’t use them, they pretty much forve you into a Buy Premium screen thats super slow to load. Just get VSCO.

  • Yo babes! Let me use it first

    Dear Carbon, please let me use your app before you ask me to read it in the App Store. All I did was download it, open it, and prepare to explore it. But first thing, I am greeted with a screen asking me if I love the app! And asking me to review it! It would be really smart of you to wait to do this until people have actually had a chance to look at the app and see whether or not they like it, if it works, if it’s something that expands their creativity, or inspires them. I have the intention of looking at this app and possibly playing with it even though on the same screen I had a screaming add to buy more things without even knowing what I was looking at. I still haven’t looked at the app because it just seems so ridiculous to ask me for a review before I even got past the very first screen which didn’t show me anything except ask me for review and try to sell me stuff that I thought it would be smart to just let everyone know that this is what they should expect. So there is the review you asked for. Sheesh.
