Leave a Review Afterlight
Great app!
First off, let me start by saying that this app has an amazing and misleading icon. When you actually go into the app, there isn’t much to be done. All there are are a bunch of crappy destructive filters that NO ONE wants on top of their photo and a couple adjustment options. (Like 7 and most of them are only available for the pro version). 2/5 stars is GENEROUS! Also only like 3 of the horrendous filters are free/ without pro version. Honestly. Save your money. You could get a WAY better app with better filters! Don’t upgrade to pro version (waste of time) and don’t even get the app because it’s also a waste of time. If you want your pictures to have a more professional and aesthetic look, look elsewhere! With all due respect, I think this app needs a LOT of remodeling.. ❤️Show lessNadaa🐰
mixed emotions
out of all the photo editing apps I use, I find I’m always editing through Afterlight. It’s a really good app, keeps the picture quality, lots of filters to chose from, love the history portion of editing (drop down menu tells you everything you’ve touched up on the pic). My 2 issues are, 1- after a few edits in, the app will randomly freeze and crash 😩. 2- I truly HATE the fact the app starts over when you press the home screen and go to another app. There should DEFINITELY be a section on the app that automatically saves pictures being editing and holds them in a folder. It’s very frustrating having to re-edit a picture 3 and 4 times just because I went to a different app.Show lessAm_momodu
Developer Response
Hey there, neither of these issues should be happening. Please contact us at afterlight.co/support with any additional information so we can look in to this!My favourite photo editing app
I love Afterlight, especially the curve adjustment, it’s often the only adjustment I need. I have two negative comments -
1 - the shadows slider adjustment is very weak compared to other apps
2 - my main gripe - the location of the tick to accept the adjustment is hidden behind my hand and I often/ nearly always miss hitting the tick and go straight to the done tag thus undoing my edits.Show lessOzzy Sam
Monthly Membership Fee??
I was a massive fan of the first Afterlight, I used it all the time, but it seems the crew has forgotten about the first gen app to introduce 2.0 where they’ve replaced a couple features and jumped on the “membership” bandwagon. Two thumbs down. No friggin way am I paying a monthly membership fee for a touch-up app. Can’t wait for the trend to be over. 👎👎👋Show lessswaggabeef
So Disappointing
I just updated Afterlight after noticing that it would not import my photos anymore. I saw that they’d completely redone the app and I was excited to try it! I purchased Afterlight when it first came out, years ago, and it has been my favorite editing app ever since. You can imagine how disappointed I was to see that they now charge a MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP in order to access all of the editing tools. I would rather pay a $20 flat fee and know that I will have the app for another 6 years before they charge me again.
If I could give zero stars, I would. It is so disappointing that they don’t grandfather in long time users who have supported them from the beginning.Show lessmNowell
New version issues
I’ve been using this app for years, after the recent update on my iPhone, I found all my photos, when accessed through Afterlight showed up pixilated, and never focused. I deleted and then redownloaded the app thinking it could just be a bug, but found the photos, while better still refused to focus while in the app. I went ahead and did some light but noticeable editing, saved and when back to view the new photo through my phones photo app to see if the issue was just in the viewing but found the saved edited photo to be unfocused still. I’ve tried this once more but still have the same issue. Sad that I will not have to find a new editing app.Show lessSpfyBaker
Used to be great, now it’s just ok 😞
This app used to be great but now it’s just ok. It’s unfortunate. I much prefer the old app without the costly monthly fees and easy to navigate tools. Why mess with perfection??ilookuptoPhil
Well...
I’ve been a fan of Afterlight since its early debut. I was an early user back in 2012 or so. Afterlight stood out to me with its utility and photo customization, and it gave me what I needed and a little more with fun filters, photo flip options and some whacky frame shapes. I was really satisfied with the UI design, but I feel out of love with the app a few years ago as my interests in phone edits dwindled, then it became filler in my home screen.
Now, that I’m back on Instagram with a new phone, Afterlight seemed like the best fit for a one hit K.O. But at first I couldn’t download the app because Afterlight 2 had come out in the midst of my hiatus; which was only valid for the new 10, so AppStore didn’t recognize my previous purchase. The app is now free with a series of in app features that are accessible through expensive memberships (for apps). Although it’s a change that was probably better for the team I was surprised to see how much it was. Despite the price I truly appreciate the app and its utility.
From my experience this app works well.Show lessDigggyDoggg
One of the best editing apps
I used afterlight for about 3 years since the first one and i loved it , i like the new one but it still cant beat the first one. Amazing features have been added with tons of filters and the tools are really fun to tinker with.
On the bad side, most of the new features and filters (and old which was free) is now required within the paying membership
I remember it was just pay for the pack of filters and boom thats it , no more payment. Previous filters like relic(my fav) is now not accessible for me to use in the new app....i still have the first app and go back to just to see what am i missing exactly in the new app. Honestly disappointed on that side but hey great app, hopefully you take this into considerationShow lessVaderdader
Legacy users are being left behind?
Afterlight is a great app, but it’s extremely disappointing that Afterlight 2 users are the only ones receiving ‘benefits’ and People, like me, who previously purchased What’s now considered Afterlight Legacy/ its filter packs are basically left with an app (the legacy version) that will presumably become outdated, especially since this new subscription based Afterlight has absorbed the place of both the Legacy Afterlight (which isn’t even publicly available on the App Store anymore) and Afterlight 2. I’m by no means against the introduction of subscription based transaction, as it does allow the app to have longevity- I just feel the complete disregard of people who bought the original Afterlight (legacy) to be very disappointing.Show lessAsk Shirley
