  • scam

    was told i needed to write a 5-star review to unlock the sparkle filters AFTER i already paid to "unlock" everything and use the app. tried to add sparkles after writing the review and it doesn't do anything. it only detects the brightest points and if your photo doesn't have too many highlights it will not put any sparkles there. so i'm editing this review- do not download this app!!
  • Garbage

    This app is 100% garbage. It’s non-intuitive, there are few options to do anything. All I want to do is add a sparkle to a smile, that’s it. Could not figure it out and I’m very savvy with software. I can’t spend more than 5 minutes to see if the option is available, I want a refund.
  • Barely does a thing

    Don’t upload any photos you already have - this barely adds a thing and there doesn’t seem to be anything you can do about it. No way to add or move sparkles and those that do show up are terrible quality, like something out of the 90’s. Definitely going to try to get my money back - upgrading didn’t do anything but remove the watermark and add some more premade filters and I still have ads.
  • THEY STOLE MY MONEY & STILL GETTING ADS! DONT USE THIS APP!

    UPDATE ONLY WITHIN 2 MINUTES OF SEEING HOW BAD THEY ARE!

    I purchased the remove ads and watermark first. Okay fine. Tried to upload photo, couldn’t, paid for that. Tried to use another simple feature couldn’t do that so winded up spending almost $10 bucks. Ticked but at least I’ll be able to edit my photos the way and I want and NO ADS. NOPE, STILL ADS. This app and company is a BUST. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. It is greedy and NOT EVEN GOOD.

    It’s not good. Effects and glitters are cheesy and bunched up. Can’t even move them around. They want to take all your money and manipulate you into doing so. I’m sure there are MUCH better apps out there! DONT DOWNLOAD THIS ONE.
  • Paid $5 for it to immediately crash every time I try to upload a photo

    This app is a piece of trash. It wouldn’t allow me to upload a photo without paying $4.99. I did, but when I tried to upload my photo, it immediately crashed every time. I tried closing out of the app completely, and it still did it. Did this about 12 times and then gave up. Trash app.
  • No Way to Escape Purchase Screen

    Here’s a way to try to force someone into making an in-app purchase. You open the app, and try to upload a picture from your Camera Roll to apply the sparkle light effects to. Only when you select Upload, it takes you to a screen showing various packages you can buy. You learn that you cannot even upload a single picture from your library to just try it out even once. You have to buy an in-app purchase that includes uploading from your camera roll. The various package choices are shown, and if you don’t want to buy any of them, you exit the screen by... you exit the screen by — THERE IS NO WAY TO EXIT THE SCREEN UNLESS YOU MAKE A PURCHASE. This should be an absolute illegal element in all apps in the app store. I hit the home button to get out of the app, and this is the same button by which you confirm an in-app purchase. So I accidentally bought a package. I’ve requested a refund, of course, and I’m hopeful there won’t be any problem with that - I contacted the store within minutes of my accidental purchase. So, the only way to get out of the purchase screen is to exit and close the app. I think that tells you all you need to know about the people who made this app.
  • Just purchased “Please respond”

    Purchased this offers just a few minutes ago.

    “Get everything for $4.99” this would mean no ads? Your app does not work. Is there a problem with this app or is this false advertisement? I would it expect to have full access with no ads. Kindly explain why, I am not getting what I paid for? And how do I get a refund back to the card if this app cannot be adjusted to work as you all state? Will be waiting for your response.
    Thank you, kindly.
  • Frustrating app

    I found this app to be very frustrating. I purchased the 1.99 version to remove ads and watermarks but couldn’t upload photos. So i spent another $2.99 to upload photos. It only allows you to use certain sparkle AND you can move them around. You can adjust how many sparkles you get but without the ability to place them where you want them, it’s kind of useless. The prices should have specific explanations of what you will and won’t get. At this point i don’t want to spend another $5 to do what it said it could do all along.
  • Doesn’t even deserve one star!

    I paid “for everything” at $5 after purchasing the first at $1.99 only to not be able to upload a photo. Once I did that, sparkles are added as a template with no way to move them to desired locations. On top of that, photo is exported at a severely reduced quality making this all for nothing anyhow. Demanding my money back and will get it one way or another!!!!
  • ❤️

    Love this app!!
    I would just like to add....after I wrote that I loved this app so that it would unlock more by writing a review, I chose to accept the “Upgrade for all for $2.99”.
    When I did...it went through so quickly BUT...I did catch that I was charged $4.99! NOT $2.99!! So be prepared!!! The advertising for the amount is FALSE!!
