Disappointed with recent update
Very disappointed with recent update so giving 3 stars instead of the 5 I would’ve given. They made some changes and I don’t like them at all. I paid for the unlimited subscription and use it DAILY! They’ve now created “Elements” and “Overlays” which just used to be “Effects”. Now some of the lighting effects are in OVERLAYS and you cannot resize and reposition them any longer, which is BS. I really have no use for 75% of this app because of this senseless update. I’ll be contacting customer service for a downgrade and prorated refund. You’re supposed to make the app better, not worse. Great job QuickShot team!Show lessnkoerber
Five stars but
So the app is free but ... to actually be able to edit the picture's you have to pay 20 dollars. If you don’t like the app you can always cancel your payment. which of coarse I payed the twenty. I have no regrets. The photos I took turned to ok to looking great and they look like the picture was really like that when I took it. it’s scary what you can do with technology. Hopefully you can enjoy the app as much as I do.
Ps please can you work on a sun rise not just a sun set. It would make the app that much more enjoyable. Just a suggestion
Thank youShow lessasdgfhhjklxcb
It’s a good app...
It’s a good app, but I think that I will be shopping around for a different editing app. (Any suggestions?) I tried this after I used PicMonkey, and both apps seem a little expensive to me. I make mini movies, and use apps to edited the cover for the movie. I only use an editing app once or twice a month, and I don’t feel like it would smart to put money into something I only use once or twice before paying again. Maybe do a weekly purchase, if that’s possible. I feel like that would be more useful to me. I totally understand if adding this doesn’t benefit your business and decide not to add it. Otherwise, it’s a great app and if you do quite a bit of editing, this would be a good app for you.Show lessFmdhc
Not what is portrayed
The app makes you pay prior to actually being able to use. I wish that was the complete opposite, what was advertised and all of the options you could do with your photos is NOT what this app does. It is by far the worst app I have ever used for editing photos, ESPECIALLY because I paid for this horrible app. There’s nothing I can do to my photos except adding a sky, and some typical everyday FREE edits I could use on a generic app. Highly disappointed. Going to unfortunately have to delete and NEVER use again. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A APP TO EDIT YOIR PHOTOS ANS ACTUALLY DO THINGS WITH YOUR PHOTOS DO NOT PURCHASE, I REPEAT DO NOT BUY OR ENTERTAIN THIS “APP”Show lessNicoleCocoDixon
Not quite there yet
Pretty cool concept but has major limitations. If you just want to remove an object or person you hat is far away and the background is not complicated then this app works great but if he person you are removing is close up or touching another person you will get very distinctive artifacting. I tried removing a person on a pier. The wood behind him was totally messed up where he was removed. When water or sky was the background it worked really well if you are never going to zoom in or view it bigger than 3x5. This would be a great starter for Photoshop. Remove something with this app then export and refine on Photoshop. It would probably save you quite a bit of time. In all, nice novelty but no real world application. Save your money. Upgrade is definitely not worth $60.Show lessSkline1

Thank you for writing in and for your feedback. The Heal tool may yield different results depending on your brush strokes and the images you are editing. Please email our Customer Experience team so we can see what happens when you try to use Heal - quickshot.support@lightricks.com. Include a screen recording of your workflow, if possible, so we can see exactly what you see!Life hack for this app!!
Hey! So you know for certain filters you need to pay, well I’m gonna help you unlock those without paying. When you select an affect for your photo and it’s a pro affect you can just screenshot it. When it applies the affect to the picture screenshot it before pushing the X on the bottom left. (If you were to push the check mark it would ask you to pay) and if you want to add more affects to that picture that you took a screenshot of just go back and pick they picture!!! Thank me later 🤫😉Show lessh Sc ushdjw in
Used to love it - UPDATE
After emailing back and forth with someone from the app, I stumbled upon a way to access the photos again. If you tap the camera on the top, take a picture, it will then bring up the window asking permission to access photos and all your photos will become visible again.
I’ve had a paid subscription to this app for two years now and have loved the beautiful photos I’m able to create. But with the last couple of updates, I am unable to access my photos. When I open the app, it tells me it needs access to my photos and has a button that says “Let’s do it”. When I tap the button, it takes me to my settings, but doesn’t have an option to allow access to my photos. So I am cancelling my subscription and going to try to find another app that works consistently. Which is disappointing because I really like Quickshot. I tried emailing the company and didn’t get a response.Show lessKhemmer

Update: At first I was really disappointed because the app kept crashing even though I had paid for the subscription, but I realized I hadn’t updated my phone. Once I did, the app worked perfectly. That being said, Make sure your phone is up to date or else the app will keep crashing.
Other than that, I love the way my pictures turn out with this app. I’ve been using it for about a week now and paid for the subscription. It makes editing my pictures much quicker than coming up with my own edits and it has great variety.Show lessSeliii18
Too Many Tools Missing for a $60 App
I don’t even care about layers, but this is missing too many of the basics.
No touch up tool! Seriously?
No bokeh for portraits. Why?
No vignette options (just more or less dark).
No levels.
The sky replacement tool is nearly as good as desktop—and earns the first there stars alone—but there’s nothing more to this that you can’t get for free in Photoshop Express or any number of other free apps.
And the HDR mode is pretty weak IMO. It needs a wider range. It currently works about as well as, but no better than, SmartHDR in the built in cam. You still need to manually adjust even moderately challenging scenes.
If the developers addressed the above shortcomings, I’d pay for this just to have the connivence of having everything in one app. But since I still have to use other apps for basic touch-ups, no. In fact if there was any indication that these features were forthcoming, I might even spot the cash upfront.
I’m not expecting complete Adobe Lightroom functionality. However, for this price you should really be also able to do adjustments in just a specific area of the photo, not only globally (like Lightroom does).Show lessTomA2
Almost perfect, except....
This app is amazing. The sky effect alone is almost worth the money, and the other adjustments are also superb. Possibly the only editor you need, except for three problems that make it very hard for me to use.
1) Photo extensions are not enabled, so it can’t be called up from within Photos.
2) The edited photo can’t be put back into the album from which it was imported.
3) Most problematic of all is that the date is changed when you edit a photo, which presents a huge issue with Photos and especially with Google Photos.
Bottom line, as much as I love the features and effects, the workflow is too cumbersome. I won’t be paying for Pro.Show lesshsv_guy
