  • Works fine for me EXCEPT FOR THE LOUD ADVERTISEMENTS 😡

    I have been using this app for several years, and have found it easy to use and suitable for my modest editing needs - mostly just cropping screenshots or rotating photo orientation. So far, so good. But the latest version has a nasty little habit. I finish editing a photo and I’m about to exit the app WHEN SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, A VIDEO ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE “PRO” VERSION LAUNCHES AT FULL VOLUME!!! Even though my iPad’s volume is turned all the way down. I would regard this as a mere annoyance and move on, except for one thing. At least twice now, this has happened when I’m working late at night or early in the morning - when my wife is peacefully asleep nearby. Suddenly I’m the embarrassed jerk with THE LOUD iPAD! Unacceptable. OK, lesson learned and I’ll adjust my usage accordingly - but I shouldn’t have to.
  • Force closes tall the time!

    I love this app with the exception of when I try to add text and position the text, it will almost always force close on me and I lose any editing that I have done and have to start all over. I have the free and the pro versions both and they BOTH do the same thing. I have deleted them from my phone and redownloaded them thinking maybe an update might help or there might have been some sort of random glitch but no matter how many times I have done that, it still force closes while positioning text. I’m a nail technician so I rely on good photos with my name and logo as my advertising so unless this is fixed, I’m gonna have to use different editing software. Such a pity!
  • Photon Editor 6.01 is worse

    I’ve had this app over 6 years on my iPhone and it has remained consistent. The major changes in version 6.01 are for the worse. I don’t like the new colors in the brush feature. They look more pastel now: Red isn’t red. It’s more of a dark salmon. Blue isn’t blue. It looks like lavender. And the green has a guacamole appearance. By all means, introduce new shades and hues, but don’t get rid of the original true colors. Teal and brown are no longer there either. Also, the splash feature is gone. This is where you can allow a pop of color to show up in a black & white version of the photo. For example: if a yellow flower sprung up from a pile of rubble, you can make the dismal surroundings black & white and allow the flower’s original yellow color to shine through, to emphasize beauty in the midst of debris. Right now, I cannot do this with version 6.01. Please fix the colors , return the return the splash feature and return the blur feature. I noticed you got rid of the ability to blur as well. Thank you.
  • Used to be great, now it’s not

    December 2022:
    TLDR- At one point 5* now it’s 1*

    So a while ago and I mean like year/s this app was incredible. It was free to use them offered packs you could purchase for more editing abilities. The free version was good but I ended up buying the resource packs anyway because they were good and I had a blast on the app. Cool stickers adding weather, interesting sci-fi filters etc..
    Then one day it was gone, like all of it. And I ended up deleting the app because it was borderline useless.
    Fast forward to now and I’m still looking for an app that was as good as this one was back in the day. No other app had the ui that this one does which is super easy to navigate. So I download this app again hoping it will be fixed. Low and behold they moved to a subscription model 🙄 (a scummy and frustrating model all apps are moving too. Heaven forbid you actually own the app.) and the free version is lacking majorly.
    In the ended this app used to be 5* but now it’s lucky I give it 1*.
    Like most things nowadays, I long for the past when you purchased apps and could use them without fear of them ruining it soon after.
  • Was My Go To App

    Another update - Like I mentioned before, gave them money for all the features they had offered, and then they decided to go monthly and all of us that had paid, lost everything we’d given them money for.

    Now, the app is so glitchy, that even using the free version is a bit of a pain. You can be working on an image and then suddenly you’re just kicked from the app and have lost all the work.

    I only keep it now for two of their features. Would give less than 5 stars if I could.
    ——————————————————————————
    Update - Now that they have the Pro-Editor, I can no longer access all of the features I had previously paid for. Effects, stickers, frames, overlays. I’m sorry, but I’m not paying monthly for something I had already paid for. Emailed in regards to this issue, but never got a response. I’ll just have to be happy with the free features. ——————————————————————————- I have tried several different photo apps and this one continues to be my favorite. Easy to use, great filter options and more. And a big thank you for ease of restoring purchases after my iPad crashed. I was worried about losing all the extra I've added.
  • AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️

    It is a good app I love the creativity but there could be three changes one you can let people pick backgrounds for the whole entire background too you can let people have like a Snapchat filters like bunnies and dogs and stuff three you should definitely try to emoji your app the name is not the most creative part I want the manager to reply back to me and actually say it’s a manager so he can see you you should add more options for stickers more colors for text so basicIf you do my changes your Apple be a lot better and I’m a very creative person love hAden If you do my changes your Apple be a lot better and I’m a very creative person love Hayden ClIf you do my changes your Apple be a lot better and I’m a very creative person love Hayden Clifford love Hayden hiddenve Hayden Clifford love hiddenIf you do my changes your Apple be a lot better and I’m a veff i and I’m not a boy
  • Extremely annoying bug!

    Good editor with an extremely annoying bug! I like how easy this app is to use and I use it often to touch up my pictures and even to do some fairly extensive editing. However, there is one problem that is so annoying that it makes me hesitant to recommend it to anyone. Frequently after doing all of your editing, you will hit the button to save the image and the program will dump all of your progress and give you an error message that the image was not saved!!!! It does this often enough that I have started taking a screenshot of the finished edited picture before attempting to save it within the app. To me that really defeats the purpose of having the app at all. Really bad!!!!
  • Barbie Photos!!!

    I love to make my Barbies get Married and I want to save the moment and make it last!!,So I take photos of my Barbies on their wedding day! ❤️
    But it’s kinda boring to just look at the photos without my AMAZING photo editing skills, you can edit your photos in your camera roll but there is not much creativity exp(boring filters it’s hard to adjust the photos) so I was in need for a photo editing app and luckily I found one!!, I stumbled on the most beautiful creation EVER!, Photo Editor!, my eyes hadn’t seen something so beautiful as this!, I immediately download it and NEVER regretted it, my Barbies haven’t been this happy before! (I saw them smile seriously it was kinda creepy) the app is really easy to use!, I screamed with excitement when I saw ALL the filters! There were so many to choose from!,I was overwhelmed with excitement and all the possibilities, there were even frames you could add and you could zoom in on certain parts and you can change the brightness and add shadows and all sorts of stuff!, I really recommend this app!. (You can also use this for real people as well!) 😊
  • Love it 👍🏼

    Overall, a great editor! They offer a free version and paid version within the app. I am glad they kept the previous version of the editor. It works great and is easy to use (love the red eye and teeth whitening). Also, the ads aren’t too intrusive like other apps. They just have a banner on the main page and some pop-ups (nothing within the actual editor). High recommend this app for anyone looking for a quality photo editor!
  • Take a Screenshot if you want to keep your work

    I’ve been editing photos of my dog who just passed away a few days ago, and half a dozen times I’ve completed a picture that I think is perfect and then I save it. But it just has a blank white screen in my photos that was supposed to be the pics. So I’ve had to start screenshotting my work before I hit save. Because it also exits you from the picture when you hit save and you can’t get back into where you left off. Not impressed with the “pro” version either. Not a lot of options for stickers or frames. Just meh.

    Edit: I have just downgraded to 1 star because I have the privacy set to ONLY selected photos and I just opened the app up and there are ALL 1,000+some of my pictures from my phone with all of the albums. I double checked in my settings it’s still set to Selected Only and shows 243 photos that I have selected for use in the app. But I can’t get the other 1000 pictures out of the photo editor. Very angry.
