I've used afterlight since its early days, and it continues to be far and away the best photo editor. and version 6.0 really outdid itself with the 35mm camera. cannot vouch enough for it! <3

Mercenarios

Eu tinha comprado o app a alguns anos atrás, o plano VITALÍCIO. Agora mudei de celular e o app atualizou e eles querem que eu pague pelo PRO de novo, sendo que eu já comprei o app a anos atrás. Não me importa se vocês atualizaram, se inventaram mais coisa pra tirar dinheiro do povo. Se eu comprei EU COMPREI. Não vou comprar de novo pq vocês querem. Falta de respeito.
