  • I’ve never had an issue with this app

    It’s just great, I’ve recommended it to my friend, and we both use it, like, religiously. Worth the money, it’s the only (non-collage) photo editor I’ve ever needed.
  • Crashes EVERY time I open it through Photos

    Despite having the latest update this app crashes every single time I open it through the Photos app (primarily how I like to edit my photos as I’m going through them). I have waited for this problem to get fixed through updates for months and it is still unusable. Given this is a paid app it’s unacceptable.

  • Jam packed with features but still some improvement needed.

    This app has so many good features that are missing in many other photo app such as H,S,L and colour/gradient overlays and curves; however I would like to see the ability to do selective local edits (possibly similar to Snapseed), a slider similar to Adobe’s “Dehaze” and to have to option of plain/chosen colour frames rather than default texture ones. Also the Hue sliders seem over sensitive and hard to make subtle changes.
    Good job on the developers to committing to no in-app purchases and the continual roll out of filters is nice.
    Just not sure how the filters are sorted or organised...🤔
    Overall almost a full photo editing package. Well worth the price and great for most changes and more available in other apps.

  • Some feedback

    I’ve been using afterlight for quite a while, it is definitely my #1 app that I use for editing. I love it so much so that I actually gifted my mom this app as well so she can have a simple, yet amazing app to edit her photos with. It is super easy to navigate! But there are a few things that I think the developers should put into consideration…
    When using the app from the photos app on iPhone… It sometimes turns black, the photo disappears and it is starting to get a tad bit annoying at this point… I am unsure if this is just me or what, but if someone from the Afterlight Dev team sees this, I need you to try to do this… Go to the photos app, choose a photo, press “edit” on the top right of the photo, press the three dots (...) that is just left of the red “revert” button. If afterlight isn’t showing on the tab that popped up, then go to “more” on the very right, then toggle afterlight “on” , then press done, open afterlight from the photos app (don't go to the actual afterlight app), then try editing, mess around with different tools and see if the picture you’re editing randomly turns black or disappears, and if it does then can you guys please issue a fix for it? Either that or make it to where I can modify the original photo from the afterlight app so i don't have a duplicate.

  • Overcharging money, want a refund

    I have purchased this app, while it lives up too what I wanted, I’m very disappointed that I’ve been charged twice in less than a week. I would like a refund, as this app is expensive and not worth the money if this is going to keep happening.

    Developer Response

    Hey Taila, we actually have no control over charges via the App Store. Please contact App Store support directly about this issue.
  • By far the best photo editing app I’ve used on the iPhone

    This might be the most complete photo editing app available on the iPhone and it has an extremely gentle learning curve. A person who has never edited a picture in their life can pick this app up and create beautiful pictures.

    That being said, I have 2 VERY SMALL issues with it:
    1. Finding specific albums is very difficult because iPhoto events are in the list of albums. I need to scroll through hundreds of iPhoto events to find the album I need.

    2. Pictures aren’t automatically saved to an album. For example if I save a photo from AppExample it will go to the AppExample album automatically which makes finding it much easier.

    But these should be relatively easy fixes for the devs to implement. (I’m beggin’ ya, devs!)

    Overall, I highly recommend this app.

  • Amazing Photo Editing App

    Afterlight 2.0 is fantastic!! I have used Adobe Lightroom CC for years. And to be honest, it is an exceptional app. BUT, I hate the subscription model. HATE IT. Then I discovered Afterlight. I bought version 1. Then came version 2. What an amazing improvement. Amazing! It works seamlessly with Photos. I can switch between the two, using the best features of each. Then end result is superb. And the final printed product is excellent. Why pay a monthly subscription when this 5 star is a mere $2.99.

  • Freaking amazing.

    I had the original Afterlight for a month or so and used it along-side VSCO until I deleted Afterlight cause I didn’t like it. I finally decided to buy the new one to see what it is all about. I highly, and I mean HIGHLY recommend this app. I just got it today and I’m obsessed. The new features are amazing, and THE FILTERS. I have so many themes I want to do for my Instagram now. I can’t express how much I love this app. I absolutely love all the tools and especially the Selective Saturation, game changer. I went back and edited some of my old photos and they look litterally 110% better. Again, as you can tell, HIGHLY recommend this, worth every penny and more.

  • Enjoying every second

    I’ve been using the first Afterlight, and I liked it, and used it 80-90% of the time for photo edits. When I herd Afterlight 2 came out, I was hesitant on the getting because I was thinking that it’s going to be the exact same, with barely to little changes. Then I looked into detail, and went with it; I’ve been using this app for 3days straight for my photo edits, and I can tell you this, I’ve been happy, and the reviews about it, have been positive. I enjoy the add-ons, and it’s been by far the best.

  • 3 years of use

    I’ve been using Afterlight 1 for 3 years now, just purchased Afterlight 2 last night. While not a mind blowing update, Afterlight 2 is certainly much more streamlined and easy to use. New features like selective saturation really allow me to draw attention to specific parts of an image without blowing out the whole thing. As always very impressed, very happy, and very worth the price tag. If you’re looking for photoshop designed for iPhone, you’ve come to the right place.
