Great app

Could you make compatible to switch to landscape mode?

No instructions, no option to hide the controls

Meh... there appears to be no option to do screen capture directly, and no instructions on how to hide the controls while doing a screen recording.

How is this useful to me??

Also, it is really annoying that the app is trying to get me to buy the filter pack without telling me the price, when I’m simply attempting to do a preview.

This is sneaky and underhanded way of trying to force people to buy stuff.

Great fun

It is a great app, too bad that when you purchase their package, there are still adds for another app every time that a picture or video is taken

It’s a good app.

This app is just that, a good app. It does a really great job with the kaleidoscope effects as well as the ability to move, spin and record your image. It may just be me but I have some annoyances with the app in just a few hours of owning it. For one, the pre-set “filter” is instantly turned back one after every lens switch, having you to double tap on the screen every single time. Yes, it’s not that hard to do, but it would be nice if the app just had a setting were the “filter” was just turned off. Second, along with the “filter” there is also a vignette that surrounds the lenses, and that you can not get rid of. For $1.99 this app will do its job and get you the kaleidoscope effects you are looking for.

Terrible

Only gives one filter, then you have to pay for the rest, also doesn’t let you film unless you pay, so what is the point of making a “free” app where you have to pay for every single feature?

Awesome App

Really love the results turning any photo into a beautiful kaleidoscope.

buggy and fraudulent

the app, cannot, in fact, create or save videos, regardless of whether or not you buy the upgraded version.

Doesn’t work

Applying the filters to photos already taken is an option but it doesn’t work

Hi Doobieboonb67888, would you please give me more information on it, so I can take a further look. 🧐 E.g what is your iOS version? Did you grant right for Kaleidolens to access your photos in setting? Sorry for the inconvenience caused.🙏

Amazing!

This is my favourite app! Amazing features, well worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Response from developer

Hi Ram Dos, as you wish. Please update to the latest v3.1 to enjoy new features including 2 finger double tap to toggle visual effect, rotation snapping and extended zoom range.

Way to go!

Hey!! — I’ve deleted my old critique of the previous version. Thank you for listening to my feedback! I’d like to add that the new version totally exceeded my expectations... well done!!

Only additional recommendation is to implement an option to “snapping” when turning your artwork to line up the way you’d like. This is particularly useful when you need it at a perfect 90°, etc.

UPDATE - February 17
Hmmm... not sure what’s up now, saw there was yet another update so went ahead and downloaded. Now the app is permanently stuck on the tutorial and Is unable to advance to the next step. There’s no option to tap NEXT. Keeps flickering.

Tried deleting and reinstalling. Same issue.

Hi UpRocka, please wait for the tutorial video end to tap NEXT. I found many people skipped the tutorial but then asking how to record video, that’s why I make such change. The latest v3.1 added rotation snapping, 2 finger double tap to toggle visual effect and extended zoom range.
