  • My Ride or Die Photo Editing App

    I started using the first Afterlight several years ago, and never used anything else until their newest launch of Afterlight 2 came out. What I love about this app is that it allows me to create a seamless color theme on my Instagram, but beyond that, the pre curated filters are so stinking beautiful. They don’t look overdone and they don’t minimize the quality of the photo. They add the perfect artsy flair. I also love all the new effects added to this app, and the fact that it’s a one time purchase. They keep adding more cool effects and i don’t have to continually purchase them as they’re released. I recommend this app to literally everyone. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • I’ve been using Afterlight for years, and I’m disappointed that this new version is still slow.

    I love Afterlight. I really do. Its been one of my primary iPhone photo editing apps for years, mainly for the filters. I really love the color overlay in this new version, as well as all the new filters. They’re awesome!

    What I’m disappointed in, is that Afterlight (1) always tended to be on the slower side. Not just compared to other photo editing apps, but even compared to other apps in general. I was really hoping that would change with this app. But saving photos causes it to freeze, picking filters sometimes makes it freeze. It’s not close to the end of the world, but it is frustrating.

    You guys rock. I’ve been Afterlighting for years and I’m going to stick with it

  • Amazing just like photoshop

    This app is great for editing your photos. I just wish it had a masking tool to fade different things together and the ability to change which filters layer on top of which.
  • Great app with many useful features

    Hope there would be an option to compare original to edited everywhere in the app edits, and a blurring tool.
  • Almost there

    So, in terms of the UX and the app's overall design, this version is a lot better than version 1, it's even better than a lot of other more established apps (Snapseed, etc.) but where it falls short is in features. One, where all the framing options from the first edition? They were half the reason I used the app. And two, why are there no lensflare effects or anything of the sort? I realise to some people those both may seem like old-fashioned features, but please include them as a lot of people still make use of them. Otherwise this is a great app that I look forward to seeing get even better over time. :)

  • Great app but lacks basic features from original

    Been using the app since the original came out and the second edition has a lot to love, like the more advance tools. However they neglected to include basic features that were found in the original app, such as: comparing edits to original photo and filters. I hope I’m time they address the issue and add more features.

  • awesome follow up to afterlight

    if you liked the first afterlight you’ll love this. granted some features have been moved to different places (the border option that everyone seems to think is gone is now just before saving) but the general feel and functionality is the same. new filters are pretty and better made for combining than the previous app i find. love the one time fee as opposed to buying packs of filters 👌🏻 my go to photo app.

  • I like it but...

    I would like to get an iPad set up instead of the enlarged (not full screen) iPhone set up 😊
    I liked afterlight 1 so much I didn’t hesitate to get the 2nd but it seems weird that not all the options of the first one made it to the second one.
  • Breath of fresh air

    Finally a developer recognizes that they can provide a revenue stream the old fashioned way - by building in new features and capabilities BEFORE reaching into their customers' pockets. The new Afterlight isn't a breakthrough product, but it assembles features that might otherwise require several separate apps. And it isn't just that convenience -- they are competently wrapped into a new shiny package.

    If you have the original Afterlight, and found it useful, I recommend buying the upgrade for no more reason than as a tip to the developers for a job well done. If you never used the first version, I heartily recommend adding it to your post-photo session tool kit.

    And to developers going out of their way to slice their apps up into half a dozen in-app purchases or even worse, subscriptions, Afterlight 2 shows that there is a more respectable way to make a living.

  • Ok

    Original Afterlight is way better. Layering and design tools are ok. Probably wouldn't buy again.
