Leave a Review Afterlight
Not fit for purpose on any iPad.
I visited App Store from my iPad, and saw that Afterlight 2 was featured on the front page as ‘App of The Day.’ With this in mind, I downloaded this app specifically for use my iPad Pro. So bearing in mind that I visited the App Store from my iPad and downloaded Afterlight 2 on my iPad, one would’ve expected Afterlight 2 to be a full iPad app. However, this app has not been optimised for any iPad model, including the iPad Pro I use, but uses a ported iPhone version. I find this to have been misleading as it was inferred that this was an iPad app, when it is clearly not. In practice, I have also found the app to be unusable with the reduced, poor screen renderings and for my purposes, Afterlight 2 on the iPad is of no use to me whatsoever.Show lessrycariad

Afterlight 2 has been updated to be fully compatible for iPads since December 2017, we hope you'll try it out again!Minor improvements
I purchased the first Afterlight a while ago and I have been using that for a fairly long time. Now buying this one, there are minor improvements made and the appearance of the app looks nicer. Do I recommend this? Yes. There will be updates to the app to add more features than what there is currently. Features at the moment include curves for brightness/contrast changing and added gradient filters, some of which look great.Show lessJayThacker

Love the new app! Well worth the few dollars to have access to all the editing options that I have typically had to use 3 to 4 different apps for in the past!
I know people get cranky about paying for apps but seriously, it's the cost of a cup of coffee these days, right? But you only have to buy it once! Other apps have countless in app purchases and this is a one time deal, you pay all up front and then you have it all! Well done, Afterlight! Loving the filters and the work done on the shadows within filtered pics. Looks great, user friendly, couldn't be happier with it!Show less-singthebody
Initial thoughts
After using the 1st Afterlight app for a few years I couldn’t wait to get the newest creation. I absolutely loved the 1st Afterlight, using it over any other photo editing apps. That being said, the newest version of Afterlight is very much the same except for the new “Fusion” and “Double exposure” features. While the features are nice and provide an additional touch to your editing they aren’t enough for me to justify the cost to get this newer version of Afterlight. In my opinion, if you already have the 1st version of Afterlight then you don’t have a need for Afterlight 2. Afterlight 2 does have an updated look and layout which is extremely appealing and easy to use. Overall it is the same app minus a few newly added features, which I feel shouldn’t have been a qualification for a new app and should have been an update to the original Afterlight. FINAL THOUGHTS, I am an avid user of photo editing applications so I would absolutely purchase Afterlight 2 again due to the overall experience and quality of the app. Afterlight is in my opinion the best photo editing application available for your smart devices!Show lessAhh Chet!
