Paying for fake sky?
Yes, the sky packages offered look good. But you can use so many free apps that will bring out details and brilliance of the sky behind while masking the land below the horizon. Paying to eliminate background objects?? This too is a free feature of other apps. Plus, the app crashed on free mode while processing an object elimination job once. I was able to get it work subsequently.
Overall, I could never see myself paying for these services. I wouldn’t want a picture with a prefabricated, fake sky that so many other pictures from the same app are going to have. I gave it an extra star because the effects do look decent when used appropriately. Not a fan of the user interface either. It seems to be too dumbed down for me.Show lessrossimac33
Deleted it after 10 minutes
I downloaded the app and it immediately pops up a screen with their paid subscriptions. It took me forever to figure out how to get off of that paid to try the free version. So much so that I actually emailed the customer support. So red flag # 1 - their customer service email is an “undeliverable” address and your email will notify you that the email cannot be sent.
Upon using the free version I immediately tried the option to remove something from a picture. It “removes” it by making the whole section look blurry and like water ripples basically.
The only thing that was kinda cool was changing the sky background. But even that was very poorly edited depending on the photo you chose to use.Show lessKd262013
Other free apps r better
What’s the point of paying for this when you can get the full desktop photoshop cc for the same price. Yes the fully functional with all the filters, layers, effects of industry leading software or this piece of crap. Pointless. It’s not even any better than any of the countless free apps that do the exact same thing.
Also the reason photoshop costs so much is because they have to invest millions of dollars into mathematicians who come up with the algorithms that run all of its filters snd editing effects snd they have to do this without degrading image quality or creating digital artifacts snd stair stepping do it takes many man hours. The hum drum filters of this app are going to create jagged edges, stair stepping , pixelation, chromatic and geometric aberration snd etc. so just get photoshop. Plus photoshop has countless free tutorials onlineShow lessheyllewllew
WHAT HAPPENED?
This was my all time favorite app! I literally showed all my friends and even shared it with individuals on Instagram ~ I have around 2k followers.
It already had limited features as I’ve had this app for at least a year. I go to edit a picture for my place of work and now everything is limited. The only features available really is the basic editing features such as brightness, contrast, detail, and their so called “magic button” which isn’t really magical at all. They have even locked my “saved looks” from me and I can’t access unless I PAY! I spent a good amount of time on those....
I will give them till the end of the month of November to release back some of the features that makes them UNIQUE or I will just delete the app and advise my friends to do so because there’s other apps. What made this one different was being able to access a limited amount of features for free and the really cool ones you would still have to pay for (which makes sense).Show lessStormy_20!

Thanks for writing in, we'd like to look into this right away. Please email our Customer Experience team from within the app so we have the most updated information: Tap on the Help icon (second from the top left) then tap Contact Us.Great app to a degree
I have installed all of the lightricks apps because they are super detailed yet easy to use once you start working on a project. This app seems a bit older as I see aspects of Pixeloop that I imagine came from this app. As a photo editing tool there are great ways to enhance an image for sure, I just wish so much that you could insert text into a photo. That is my only qualm. I enjoy all of these apps and the ideas that they inspire me to act on quite a bit. My Instagram posts are feeling more unique each time I use one of these tools to adjust an image I want to post. Thanks for a great group of editing apps. Hope this review helps gain more users who want to explore a more creative side of boredom.Show lessClever Wolf (soundcloud)

Thanks for writing in and sharing your input. We are constantly working on improving Lightleap and adding more features and content. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any more suggestions - lightleap.support@lightricks.com.Another app, another subscription.
This app has a lot of nice features and is easy to use. But it’s yet another app locked behind a subscription paywall. How many subscriptions do you have now? Do you even keep track? Who wants 100 subscriptions active on their phone just for the apps? I appreciate devs need to make money, and I also appreciate that unlike many others these devs added a lifetime unlock tier. But I’m not going to dump money into an app that looks nice without a trial period. When are these app makers going to figure out that we want to be able to try out their app, and that means FULLY try it out - including saving. Even if I could save to an area in the app that gets unlocked when I purchase it, that would be better than losing my work. As it is, another app that I would give a good review to, keep on my devices, and pay for, is instead uninstalled.Show lessGameDrop

Thanks for writing in, happy to clarify. Quickshot is free to download and includes all kinds of editing tools you can use at no cost and however you like. The app also offers Pro tools that require making a purchase, but that's completely optional and up to you. As long as you stick to the free tools when using the free version of the app, you will be able to save any edit - for free! Please don't hesitate to be in touch with our Customer Experience team if you have any questions or more feedback for us - quickshot.support@lightricks.com.I gave 5 stars for one reason.
I was reading through the reviews and it was the first one that caught my eye and they were talking about how in order to save whatever picture I edited I had to buy the pro package. Well I decided to try it out for myself because I needed to take someone out of my picture, and to my dismay it was in fact true that you had to go pro to save. I have a point I promise, but anyways I tried to do something which I know that works every single time. I have been outsmarted this time. Anyways just so anyone else thinks the same way I do, don’t screenshot it, it will not work. But hey can y’all like change that? We shouldn’t have to pay to save pictures that you guys say we can save without having to pay? That would be great:)Show lessDaniella hendri
Ruined the app
The main features I used in this app are now useless! Put the “overlays” back to effects so you can move them around on the picture instead of having them cover the whole thing. For example there was an orange sun spot I used frequently in my pictures and now y’all made it into an overlay instead and all I can do is lighten the effect instead of move it around on the picture where I actually need it. I’m thinking about canceling my subscription as this was the main thing I used the app for.Show lessredsoxredsox1
????
I purchased the Quickshot Pro app and fixed up my first photo to where it looks really good. Then, I tried to export the image to my photo stream. The app quits on me whether I choose to export the photo as a copy of the original or just replace the original image. I can’t save the image anywhere. What is going on? I paid money for this, and the app clearly states that there are no refunds on subscriptions. I finally found my way to the developer’s site, and under “contact us,” there are simply mailing addresses for four overseas offices. No email addresses, no phone numbers, no e-messaging options at all. I’m supposed to wait for a reply by international mail addressing my issue, which they’ll probably feign ignorance of or blame on my device?!?!Show lessDidi3104

Please also include a screen recording if you can, so we can see exactly what you’re experiencing.Why did you ruin it?
This is the best photo editing app I have and I use it every day. That is until a week ago when you ruined it. You took away the circle feature inside effects which is now called overlay. (And when you change an app to such an extent, why on earth don't you put a notice about that, so when you open the app you know what to expect?) Anyway the circle feature allowed me to move the effect in many different ways, change the size, change the direction...it was awesome, absolutely what I need every day for my photos. And why are you would take away the one thing that made your app unique is mind boggling! Is there any way I can restore the previous version? Or how about fixing this!!!!!Show lessQasdr
