You get what you don’t pay for
I almost deleted the app right off the bat as when you first open the app it goes right to paid subscription page and takes a minute to figure out to close out of that to get to the actual app. Then once you get there, you only have a few “free” enhancements which you can do on most edit features on your mobile device or even the free apps like Lightroom mobile and others. If it was like $15 or less to outright purchase as a one time offer would look at it more serious to purchase. If your willing to purchase their full price then yes you will get some really cool edits that is quick and easy.Show lessemeralddragonfly
Interesting
There’s a fairly simple way to get around the appalling way they force you to buy the pro version to even SHARE the edit you’ve made. It’s simple, but pretty effective. Pick a photo, add the enhancements that you like, and then simply capture a screenshot of your finished edit. The screenshot is automatically saved to your photos app(ios). You can then open the photo, crop it,and do whatever you want with it, including further edits in the photos app. I’ve found that the native resolution stays pretty much intact this way, and the result looks great. I was going to uninstall this app until I found this work around. I think I’ll keep it now 😀Show lessportsider
Purchase
I don’t know if it charged me or not but if so I would very much appreciate it that if I did get charged to not get money taken from me for something I didn’t even purchase. I just downloaded to try out, maybe see if it was something that I liked, and it’s alright but I don’t have money to sit and pay for a app when I can do this in real life.
I tried to back out of it instead of make any kind of purchase , I didn’t agree to any purchase but this app is in my purchases for whatever reason. I’m not paying for something I’m not using like that just for future reference if I do get charged I’ll be back lol, but great app good job and thank you guysShow lessChNdTa
My new Favorite App!!
Great App, easy to use.. multiple options to make you photos look amazing. You can edit them to the extreme by overlaying each option or just make some clean edits, like brightness/contrast, clarity etc.. I use to love Kit-cam which my all time favorite app until I got a new a phone and it was discontinued and not available in the app store anymore. Struggled to find a similar app and this one is exactly what is was looking for. Besides the $20 a year payment.. its awesome, and actually worth the price. You wont be disappointedShow lessdh..photographer
Very cool and quick. Perfect on the go!
I never write reviews but I had to on this one. I’m somewhat of a professional photographer in the fact I owned a video production company for 25yrs and shoot pics at 24-60frames a sec everyday! This app is extremely easy and user friendly! It works as intended and once you know how the app responds you can tailor your shooting accordingly to get the most from it. Can I create the same effect on a computer in photoshop? Absolutely. Can I do it in 5secs? Not a chance! This app can and I highly recommend it for the cost. It’s IS a monthly/yearly subscription to get all the filters but for me it’s worth it. I take hundreds of pic on my iPhone Xs Max every week or so. The camera on it is superior (in almost every way) to even my Canon 7D! You’ll love this app!!!Show lessR.L. Moss
There’s just one problem.
I do a little photography and this is an AMAZING app for editing my photos. I mean it’s really cool. But even if you aren’t a pro member you can’t even stick with the limited edits they allow you to use. It’s still trying to milk money even if you aren’t using it’s unlimited edits, because you can’t even save the photos you practice on just to experiment with the app. I used a couple of my photos to see just how much I’d really like it, and I really like it..but then as I attempted to save, it was telling me I had to go pro..like really? Just to save the edits that the app allowed me to use WITHOUT going pro, I can’t even save them?
So in order for me to be able to save the photos I edit I have to pay. I just don’t think it’s worth going through that. I’d be okay even having advertisements pop up and them saying I have to pay for the ads to be removed. Versus saying I have to go pro just to save the photos I edit even though it’s limiting you enough.Show lessB33333zzz
Really great photo editor
I love this photo editor, it is truly an “all-in-one” one stop shop for all your mobile photo editing needs. The only thing I would like to see added (and if it’s already in it, then forgive me - I hope the creators would tell me how and where to find it), is a way to fade blemishes? For example, I have Face Tune on my phone and Photoshop on my computer to get rid of pimples and help perfect complexions on portraits. If I had that feature here, I wouldn’t need the FaceTune app.
Adding a “brush” feature” where one could essentially “wipe away” unwanted blemishes, would make this beyond #1 editor in my book. I know there are other ways you can kind of do this, with lowering the contrast and detail a bit, brightening the image if possible or softening it, but again, if you really want to focus on the face and not touch the rest of the image, this feature would be amazing.
Another idea, something as seen in OnOne Camera RAW (which is a desktop photo editor), but to be able to brush detail and light/color enhancement onto the human eye. To “zoom in”, on a portrait, and lighten/brighten the eye, even perhaps give a bit more detail? This feature in that software is called very simply, “magic eye fixer.”
Anyway, that’s my two cents. Otherwise - I have the pro version and I love it. Thanks for making a great app!Show lessjordansayso
Not worth buying :(
I purchased the yearly subscription of this app and very disappointed with it. It’s not worth buying this app.
Whenever u edit the pic using the clouds feature it forms a white thick line on the edges of the buildings, trees and other objects in the pic, which gives out that you image has been clearly edited. The clouds feature does not blend in with the image you want to edit. However sometimes it does, it’s a 30/70 chance. Total waste of my $20.
If u still are desperate to buy this app just for the sake of cloud feature, but the monthly subscription and try it out first.
I don’t recommend this App.Show lesssandeepChakroborthy
App Devs! 2 words: SKY ERASER!!!!!
Love the app guys! BUT, as my title indicates, you really, REALLY need to develop an eraser for the sky! It already exists in the strobe camera so the technology already exists! I appreciate the IPad update, but this seriously needs to be your next “big thing” since most folks are willing to pay for the sky replacement feature! Especially pro-photogs such as myself who would rather not deal with Lightroom and Photoshop’s process of doing the same thing! One more thing: ability to shoot RAW would also make this app more price worthy and probably downloaded more on a consistent basis!!!Show lessClass action lawsuit?
Meh
The free version is a decent photo editing app, with a handful of unique filters and some solid editing tools. But the available tools are pretty similar to the adjustments you can make in other free apps. I think it's worth having the free version for an extra handful of editing options, but unfortunately all of the features that really set the app apart require a monthly subscription.
Personally, I didn't see much that made me want to commit to that. If I'm going to edit a photo professionally, I will go ahead and use photoshop on my desktop. I'm already paying an arm and a leg for that subscription, so I wasn't really interested in adding this one. If you could make a one time purchase for the app (that did not cost $60) or if you could pay by individual feature/filter, I would be more impressed.
To me it wasn't worth the price, but maybe to others it's a good investment. Note: They do have their subscription fee on sale right now!Show lessFroggie<333
