  • Perfect For Intermediate Users

    This is the perfect step beyond just the basic editing that can be done on a phone. If you heavily use the built in editing for your pictures but want to take it a step further, this is the perfect app for that. Great for making changes while still easy to use, and will get results that make your photos stand out from those that just slap a filter on.

  • best photo editor

    For a single purchase app, this is by far the most feature packed photo editor. There are tons of features to play around with and I prefer it to all the free photoshop apps and Snapseed which used to be my go to editing app. I hope in the future they add even more features, like different styles of merging where you can blend different sections of layers, and more touch tools. But the app is very worth the couple of quid that it costs.

  • Great app!

    First, I love that it’s non-subscription based. Paid once and I get all the features. I love how easy it is to play around with and figure out some cool little tricks for making great pictures. I would like to see more fonts for the text. Could there be a way to extend the text across the screen with out making the text bigger?
    Either way, great app for people like me who edit photos randomly, because life doesn’t let me do it all the time.

  • great, but could be better

    this app overall is amazing. most editing apps was disgusting destructive filters that looks horrible, but afterlight’s are actually pretty good. the interface is really easy to use, and is very user-friendly. this is a great app for both beginners and advanced editors. definitely recommend.
    one thing i do suggest to change is fusion filters. with the current version, you have to start recording your filter before you even START editing the photo. i don’t like this, because sometimes i’m already done editing my photos before i realize, “hey, that was a pretty good edit, i wish i had made it a fusion filter.” i wish that there was an option to make your edits a fusion filter AFTER finishing editing your photo.
    but overall, afterlight is great. it is definitely my #1 editing app, and i have tried a LOT. a much better deal than vsco or a color story and everything. definitely worth the $2.

  • GOOD UNTIL CRASH?

    This app is awesome for photo editing for me. I was able to create my own preset and there are tons of great features to apply to projects.
    The only critical feedback I have that I would REALLY like to see a solution to is that after a couple edit applications, the app freezes, and then crashes without warning sending me back to my home screen. If there was a feature to save a project in progress or have a studio of projects in the process of being edited (think VSCO gallery but with Afterlight) that would be incredibly beneficial. Getting really frustrated not being able to just apply four or five edits after my preset to my engagement photo and just have it in my camera roll. Resorted to applying an edit, saving... repeat until done. Which is lowering the quality I’m sure. Please fix this crashing issue. It is getting really bad.

  • Great app, slightly unethical

    I love Afterlight, it’s he easiest and most effective photo editing app available. I don’t like how they got rid of Afterlight 1 from the App Store, which I’d sunk money into, forcing me to pay for Afterlight 2. Most developers just do updates. This was a little unethical, but oh well. If they do it again I’ll probably bounce.

  • Great Also for Beginners

    If you are looking for a simple and easy to use editing app yet delivers finish products that make you look like a pro then look no further. I tried this app out to help my edit pics I like to post on Instagram and it has been amazing! It’s were I start now with all my editing and use it as the foundation for doing 90-95% of my editing my pics. I’m only a few weeks in but I already can tell this is a great app to add to your editing suite. Very impressed with Afterlight2! Plus it’s not subscription based like Adobe or Enlight.

  • :(

    there’s a couple light leak border type things that aren’t on this new afterlight 2
  • Up to scratch

    Really impressed. After working with expensive PS express on their free trial I was feeling like I would need to pay to get the features I wanted. I love that you can do selective touch ups, that the tool box is comprehensive, and that I can save filters to use them again (and again).

    I still am having trouble finding exactly the filter I want to match what I put into PS express. Would be great to have more community filters or ways to sort them!

    Thank you for making such an easy and up to date tool. Please continue to add new features!

  • In love with this editor. Just feel like it’s missing a few features.

    Some basic features including; a healing tool, more customizable grain effects, being able to reform shapes and such, and most importantly... an eyedrop tool! I seem to mainly use tools that mess around with color in this photo editor, and some colors i’d like to get perfect compared to another color in the photo I’m editing. Though, it is possible to just try and change the given color to fit another color, it’d be much easier and a lot more accurate to use an eyedrop tool. Love the app, though. I use it for graphics design and such. Thank you, developers!
