  • Favorite app for quick and quality editing

    I’ve tried nearly all photo editing apps and have yet to find one that is worth its bang for buck. This one came recommended by someone from
    Instagram after I saw their great quality photos. I took a leap and purchased it right before a vacation. It changed the game! Easy to navigate and use. My photos look incredible after I’ve spent some time on them with this app. All I wish that they offered is a resizing option similar to VSCO. I don’t mean cropping, but an actual option to reformat the shaping for instagram sizing. Overall- worth every penny and then some!!

  • the best editing app!

    i’ve been looking for an app that can give my photos more personality, and afterlight has really made that possible. I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was, it far overreached my expectations! there’s such a vast choice of editing options, filters and more! my photos have truly been improved thanks to this app. It’s worth the money and i won’t ever regret purchasing such a useful app!

  • Hesitated long, finally bought: very happy!

    I was hesitant to buy this editing app, as I felt they should just update the old one that I paid for.

    Since then I own several editing apps, but this one has a lot of functionality built in, for a great price and with quality tools!

    100% happy!
  • Poor image quality

    My images from the iPhone photos app are perfectly clear before using Afterlight 2. However, after simply adding a frame and then uploading to Instagram straight from the Afterlight 2 app they become blurry or degraded. Very unfortunate.
  • moving in the right direction

    I love afterlight and have been using it to edit photos for years. I recently upgraded to afterlight 2. All of the fine tuning tools are great and in my opinion, now rival any of the major editing apps there are to choose from. But as a long time user of afterlight, I found that a lot of the legacy filters that I’ve been using to give my photos their quintessential look for years are different in the new edition. Why even include them if they aren’t the same? I’ve been processing photos between multiple apps for years which completely ruins the file integrity, and I really thought this would be the solution, yet even still I’m going back to the original afterlight for my final filtering.

  • Great app

    I have tried so many photo editing apps that claim to do what this one does and is easy to use. This app is excellent highly recommend
  • Rip-off

    This app isn’t like any of the images you see. It’s all fake, and you won’t achieve that. Yes, you can brighten images up and darken them, but only to the whole image. You can’t do that cool photo of the girls hair on a phone, it’s not even an option. I watched a video from 2014 and it had it then, but not the type you think. You would have to edit the whole photo or retake it to fit and it could take up to 5 hours doing it. There is no blending option or blur tool so you can’t even do that, but if there was again it’s only for the whole image and not parts of it. There are good parts about this app but not many, and unless this app upgrades itself then I do not recommend it.

  • My favourite editing app

    Afterlight 2 incapsulates the tools I use to use on several other apps. Wish I had tried it early as I’ve now deleted all the others. Highly recommend, also simple and easy to use
  • Great in app experience - rubbish patch if you edit through photos

    Not sure of the tech terms here but whenever I edit photos via using the app though iPhoto it crashes, tried reinstalling and it made the problem worse. All of my photos are organised in folders so it’s a small annoyance that I can’t edit them as they sit within that folder. The app itself works brilliantly but the save function just adds to the camera roll - a small niggle it what would otherwise be my go to app for editing photos.

  • Very neat editing features, but can crash

    I’ve been using Afterlight 2 for a few months now (on iPhone and iPad), and use it to edit countless photos for Instagram and Facebook.

    I thoroughly enjoy it and find it invaluable as part of my photo editing toolkit, though have had several crashes over the time I’ve used it. This hasn’t happened recently, so it appears as though it may have been fixed by updates.

    I use a variety of photo editing apps including this one, and sometimes use multiple per photo. That’s not a problem - you can’t always expect an app to do everything, and that doesn’t make it any less amazing.

    I use Afterlight for more “creative” photo editing (such as the “light” light leaks and “dust”), and Snapseed for things like curves and technical adjustment. Having made extensive use of these features over a long time, I can highly recommend this for anyone with a fancy for fancy photography 😁
