When wanting to cancel, there is no option given in settings and now I’m stuck paying a $32 subscription I didn’t want. The pictures come out lovely, don’t get me wrong, but the subscription was not my choice and is expensive ### 4/5 — Great for photos needs work for video *2026-07-26, version 2.1.15* I love shooting all my photos and videos on this app but taking video is no quick thing. You have to wait for it to download after you take one video and the time it takes depends on how long the video is. It seems like they could do away with this feature. Also, a note about the video is that it’s very unreliable, sometimes it records the sound and sometimes it’s broken sound. I wish they would fix this!!! ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-07-13, version 2.1.15* The filters are amazing, in my opinion nothing can beat this. Love this app!! 100 recommend!! ### 5/5 — 10 из 10 *2026-07-08* Программа отличная. Как оплатить из России? ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-07, version 2.1.14* Love it!!! So many cute filters and helped SO much of my photos look better😆 ### 5/5 — Muito bom! *2026-07-05* Gosto pq preenche as expectativas e não precisa comprar nada pra ser bom. ### 5/5 — Love *2026-07-04, version 2.1.14* Live laugh love this app ### 3/5 — New update sux, Better on iPhone 6 *2026-07-04, version 2.1.14* I have the same app on my iPhone 6 and 16 Pro, and on my 16 Pro it asks me to subscribe to a subscription after every single time I take a photo, makes it really confusing and annoying. On my iPhone 6 I could basically use it like the default Camera app on my phone. This app fell off. However 5 stars for anyone on iPhone 6 & 5S 😅 ### 5/5 — Amazing !! *2026-06-30, version 2.1.14* The most prettiest filters on earth for free !! 🫶🏼 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-29, version 2.1.14* This app is amazing!👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Exceptional camera app! *2026-06-27, version 2.1.13* Exceptional camera app! Love it, hope they make more filters free for loyal users ### 5/5 — PERFECT!! *2026-06-24, version 2.1.14* It is completely free and works wonders!! No complaints!!! ### 5/5 — Perfecta *2026-06-24, version 2.1.14* La mejor me recuerda mi infancia ### 5/5 — Holy aura *2026-06-15, version 2.1.13* The results are 🔥 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-08, version 2.1.13* Greatness starts here ### 5/5 — sʟᴀʏʏʏ *2026-06-06, version 2.1.13* ɪ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴀʟʟ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ғɪʟᴛᴇʀs ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʜᴏᴛᴏ ʙᴏᴏᴛʜ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ɪs sᴏ ᴄᴜᴛᴇ!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful and scammed me *2026-07-08, version 2.1.14* Not only does is the app itself terrible, they also just fraudulently renewed my cancelled subscription ### 1/5 — UNUSABLE since the last update *2026-06-07, version 2.1.13* NO longer allows photo uploads but forces mandatory 'allow camera' on start-up. Which is useless to me - as I do not use it for that and I PAID and annual subscription in February - I DEMAND A FULL REFUND - further more, this completely sabotaged a book illustration project - which also constitutes a loss of business now. ### 1/5 — Broke two phones *2026-05-29, version 2.1.13* It broke two phones. I downloaded the app and it broke two phones. ### 1/5 — Zero intuitive. *2026-05-22, version 2.1.12* Zero intuitive. ### 1/5 — No access to photos *2026-04-10, version 2.1.3* This app gets great reviews, but when I downloaded it and tried to access photos in my library, all it left me with was a blank screen. I tried multiple times, it doesn’t work. I can’t bring in any of my existing photos. ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-03-13, version 2.1.2* Can’t access my photo library. Just crashes. Avoid ### 1/5 — Requires subscription to do anything. *2026-03-12, version 2.1.2* Appears like a free app, but before you can do anything it tries to lock you into a subscription. The developers responded saying there are free features but they did not appear for me due to a “bug”. All I can speak to is my own experience which is that I did not get access to any features before the app demanded a subscription. ### 1/5 — Requires subscription to do anything *2026-03-09, version 2.1.1* Appears like a free app, but before you can do anything it tries to lock you into a subscription. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-07, version 2.1.1* Charges you then makes it impossible to cancel, low ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work without subscription *2026-03-04, version 2.1.1* Booooooo hiss boooooo ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun photo app *2026-08-08, version 2.3.2* I love the retro feel this app provides. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-05, version 2.3.2* This app makes my pictures beautiful ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2026-08-04, version 2.3.2* It’s so great!! ### 5/5 — Best app for real *2026-08-04, version 2.3.2* THE BEST APP EVER ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-02, version 2.3.1* Great app with great affects the film affects from wonderful. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-25, version 2.1.15* Retro vibes and easy to use.
