  • i love this app.

    as someone that's used the first version of this app as well, has been using AL since 2016, and still picks this over any Adobe software, i hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears, because i love this app. i really do. i love the glow and the color burning so much. just please give me more customization with glow, maybe make it a brush tool with colors. i'd really love to also get more freedom when working with layers in the double exposures. i use Photofox to help me with layering and erasing needs, but i'd love to have it all in one place if that's possible *fingers crossed*

  • Super!

    Update: Still loving Afterlight, but the Photos extension could do with some love. Gold and Porta are both missing as are a few other controls - would be great if these could be included too.

    Afterlight is my new favourite filter app. Lots of control, some great presets, and love being able to save my own. I’d love to see iCloud sync added so I can access my presets across iPhone and iPad that’d be perfection!

  • Should have kept the old one

    I accidentally deleted the old app and immediately downloaded it again, to find all my favourite filters now cost money (they didn’t before) and my favourite light leak is GONE. I’m so upset.
  • Great photo editing app. Too many restrictions.

    Easy to use, you can edit manually and layer filters. Unfortunately too many features are now blocked/inaccessible unless you pay.
  • Long Time User

    I’ve been using Afterlight for like 6 years or something and finally got a new phone and had to purchase a yearly subscription- I had just purchased everything years ago - anyway- I love Afterlight! I’m a photographer and honestly this app is way better than adobes photoshop app and I love that it does great with raw images and doesn’t compress them too much, the layers/ edits are high quality and doesn’t ruin the image quality. I wish they had more psychedelic effects though!

  • Love it but have some reservations

    I love this app! It’s quickly become my go-to editing app on my phone. I love all the features & the selection throughout all the options.
    However, I do have a couple reservations. It’s become an increasing issue when I’m in the middle of editing a photo, the screen will go black & the app will just close. It’s beginning to happen more & more often, which is what pushed me to leave a 4 rather than 5 star review.
    The only other issue I’ve had is when I got to select a photo & the app will say there are no photo to select. But this issue is quickly resolved by closing & restarting the app. Annoying, but not annoying enough to discontinue using the app altogether.

    Overall 4/5! Still recommend anyone to try & hopefully these are simple issues that will be resolved quickly.

  • Rip off company

    Just wanted to drop a line to say that this company doesn’t care about their customers. People who had previously paid for their old app have been thrown to the gutter. Their old app is now useless.

    Hey, we want more money, so let’s create a NEW app that people have to pay heaps more for!

    Thanks for nothing, I have a subscription to photoshop that does a million times more than your app, so thanks for ripping us all off.

  • Needs work

    I like this app. Even though it lacks a bigger selection of tools and the ones it has is not customizable.

    Up until now I was using this app a lot. Not anymore. I have noticed that after working on many of my pictures at the end the picture often times end up with some weird vertical lines. I have seen before but I can't recall what they are called. It has ruined many photos for me. It seems that the more variations or layers of the same tool you use, the more likely it is for it to happen.

    When I said that the tools it has are not customizable, what I mean is that tools need more than just one default setting. For example, the burn (Darken) and dodge (lighten) tool is not customizable. There is only one setting for density (how strong it is) and sometimes it applies too much or too little. Which makes it useless or hard to use.

    It also need to be able handle Tiff and Raw file, among others. The user should be able to change the settings for each format. Such as the type of compression, pixel format (8 bit, 16 bit, etc), and so on.

    For now, I'll rely on other apps and stop using this one.

  • Best Photo Editing App By FAR.

    I am one of those people who LOVES to have a distinct, consistent feed on Instagram. I’ve tried out pretty much all editing apps under the sun, and none of the filters quite did the job that I was hoping. I wasn’t really all that excited to go and buy a whole bunch of separate presets, so I decided to give Afterlight a go. And man, was that a good decision! The app is so incredibly user-friendly, and the presets and tools available are high quality, and make your photos look professional, cohesive, and polished. I could not recommend this app any more, it was the best app purchase I have made.

  • pre good

    I really like how you can add filter on top of filter without having to save it again and again. But I don’t like how the only way you can get the premium filters is if you pay monthly I wish it was like in unfold app where you can pay a few dollars for a section of filters :(((
