Tried & True

Former photographer here. I have used this app to edit my phone photos at least a decade now? Figured it was time to give it the credit it deserves. It’s the only app I pay for yearly because it’s that worth it to me. You basically have access to all the major photo editing tools you would use in adobe creative suite, and lots of fun presets to play with that they keep adding to each year. I love that I can batch edit and save my own presets. And unlike adobe, I’m not stuck in an outrageously expensive subscription plan. I love you, A Color Story! lol (I was not paid to promote this, and I don’t believe I’ve EVER reviewed an app before, so trust, chat)

Secret subscription requirements?

If you can’t use any features at all of an app without buying an annual subscription, shouldn’t an app be required to tell you that before you download it?
