The premise is simple; combine and fine tune different effects to create your own unique filters, then name and share them on the server for everyone to enjoy. Or use a filter someone else has made, either as is or after modifying it to meet your exact needs. A lot of fun and the chance to create truly unique photo art. ### 4/5 — Great *2022-08-12, version 2.2.1* A feature rich photo editing app with so much packed into a small app you can't go wrong arema C. ### 4/5 — Was great but not now *2019-06-30, version 2.2.1* I’ve been using this for years and never had a problem, but now my photos aren’t being saved even though it says they are. They are no where to be found. I wish I could contact the developer. ### 3/5 — Used to adore this app!!! *2017-02-07, version 2.2.1* I love this app and all the amazing capabilities it has within it!!! It has the ability to be a top iphoneography app imo but needs more attention from developer who seems to have disappeared or discarded this app. Such a shame!!! If updated it would be amazing! A 5 star app!! Needs to have #1 high resolution import/ export for images and newest iOS support. PLEASE COME BACK TO THIS APP!! Don't leave it on the wayside!!!! ### 4/5 — Still great, but needs updated! *2016-01-08, version 2.2.1* I still love this app, but I'm also still having trouble trying to understand all of the different filters and what they can do, as well has what stacking order and masks can accomplish. I would really love to see some more tutorials, either created by Dominik or by some of the community members who know what they are doing (You all know who you are!). There isn't a whole lot more to improve on. I still stand by my previous reviews ideas for an update, as well as there needs to be an updated UI. Especially when editing a filter, the I and P buttons can be hard tap on my iPods Touch's screen. Keep making great apps though! --Previous Review-- This app is great at creating your own filters, and it's actually the only one I have ever heard of. It has so many features, it is overwhelming! There are a few problems that I suggest to the author: 1. Make a written or video tutorial for each of the controls separately, and place a button to click on for the help next to each filter for easy access. 2. Make folders to organize presets that have been downloaded and made for easier access, scrolling back and forth through a large library of effects is very annoying, so the folder ability would be very nice. ### 5/5 — Love it, love it, LOVE it! *2015-06-23, version 2.2.1* I've had so much fun playing with all the fun filters that other users make available to download. It's soooo kewl to play in all these amazing ways to twist, tweak and twerk my photos. And you can create ( & share with the community) you own filters too -- tho I'll admit I have yet to try this, I'm having too much fun with the ones I've downloaded! I HIGHLY recommend that you try out this great photo editing app! ### 5/5 — nice job *2015-06-05, version 2.2.1* I really like it. I've tried so many cameras and I'm sure this is my favorite. ### 5/5 — No competition *2015-05-02, version 2.2.1* This is without a doubt the most creative thing you'll do on an iPhone or iPad. Amazing possibilities and they're all up to you dream up! Takes a bit to learn but then you are free! The community collaboration is a blast as well. Way to go Dom! ### 5/5 — FAVORITE *2015-01-13, version 2.2.1* This is pretty much my favorite camera/photo editing app EVER (and I have tried A LOT) while confusing to make effects yourself at first, it definitely gets easier and it is so much fun to mess with. Plus there are tons of great filters other people have made too!!! I don't usually leave reviews but this app deserves one :) ### 5/5 — Most overlooked gem *2015-01-09, version 2.2.1* The app paints fine for me so far. It is a exceptional piece of software. ### 5/5 — Sophisticated and stable *2014-05-30, version 2.1.4* Amazingly advanced and rock solid. Does require some time to learn and a familiarity with basic image filter concepts. But for digital photo geeks, this app provides incredible power and an endless playground for creativity. Even the less technically savvy can choose from a large online library of presets, which can be copied and further customized. ### 5/5 — i-Photographers silver bullet *2014-02-17, version 2.1.3* I have samples and own well over 100 photography/Video apps, from good to foolish, I've scan the net for reviews and joined iphone photography forums. This app is EXCELLENT A+. Very powerful and capable, I can start deleting apps and use Snapseed for refinements. A two app work flow achieved. Plus the masking logarithms are smooth to touch as of you are actually finger painting or erasing details. I would pay $10 for all of these features set and you get a community of artist that have come up with nice presets for videos and photos. This is a must have app ### 5/5 — VIDEO PLEEEEEEASE!!! *2014-02-01, version 2.1.3* This app is truly unbelievable! The best photo editing effects app I have seen and I have 200+ photo apps! You guys nailed it! the whole community of styles is awesome! But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE why no high definition video!!!! AND THE EFFECTS ARE SO AMAZING ON VIDEO! it all comes out at 640 or below :-( when you guys Fix this, this App will be the end all of apps :-) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2020-02-20, version 2.2.1* After 5 long years of no updates it stopped working 😭 ### 1/5 — Should be removed from App store *2019-06-22, version 2.2.1* It sounds like this was a good app once, but last update was years ago and it does NOT work on Xs. ### 1/5 — Replay please! *2018-06-04, version 2.2.1* Dear developer why you dont replay for the updating requests? Please dont absndon this application I want to see more presets!! Please update ### 1/5 — Crashes instantly waste of money. *2018-04-11, version 2.2.1* Im on an iPhone 6s latest version of iOS and this app crashes immediately doesn’t even open.. is this a scam? ### 1/5 — Baffled at the fact this hasn't been fixed *2015-05-07, version 2.2.1* Am I the only one in the world who KNOWS HOW TO USE THIS APP, Who can't use it anymore? It just simply doesn't work on still edits anymore. But what baffles me is that it hasn't been fixed yet to this very day. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — I Gave Up Within Minutes *2012-12-30, version 2.0.2* Yes, according to the reviews and the tutorial videos, this is a very powerful app. But the sheer power is what chased me off. To my mind, this is an app that belongs on a desktop computer, not an iPhone or iPad. And the interface is just too "blah" to make me even want to give it a chance. I'm sure it's great for Uber Geeks, but not for average people just wanting a camera which is designed to be a delight to toy with. And name for me a SINGLE camera app which displays a giant text message across your image when you open it? And even when you start taking pictures, that huge "WELCOME TO AREMAC" just won't go away! It is stamped right onto your photos. In the tutorials, you hear the Developer, (who is probably a nice guy), clearing his throat over and over, and making things up as he goes along, because he obviously did not prepare for his tutorials. People nowadays want more than just a powerful app. They also wan apps which have a fun or elegant-looking interface. And within seconds of opening this app, I could tell that aremaC is neither of those things. Super Geeks generally don't mind those trifling matters. They love tinkering with the details, and their minds are not geared toward aesthetics. But for everybody else, this is an app which desperately needs an Interface Designer, and not just a Programmer. ### 2/5 — Great app with no support *2012-08-12, version 2.0.1* The app seems to be good. It is a bit tedious on an iPhone but works well. Hope it works on the iPad, but I'm not getting my hopes up. The real problem is the logging in to he other filters that other fold have made and submitted. I created an account in the app and waited for an email to validate the account. No email. A day later the same thing. The portal said that there was an account created but that it had not been activated. I tried again and had the same result. I have looked and google and can't seem to locate a contact for support. Ok app with no obvious support gets 2 stars from me. ### 2/5 — for patient perfectionists? *2012-08-02, version 2.0.1* I found the interface to be very tedious, not intuitive at all. Editing photos was just taking more time than it was worth-- at least to me, an avid iphoneographer with ADD. I can see this app filling a niche for more patient, detail-oriented people, the kind who enjoy spending 10 minutes tweaking one photo. I really like the idea of the user-built filter library, but one must make an account to use the additional filters, and I am just tired of signing up for things. Seeing the many glowing reviews for this app, I think I will give it a couple more chances. Developer seems to be responsive and have some original ideas, and perhaps an improved UI will come with the next update. There is lots of potential. ### 3/5 — Use to love this app *2019-03-27, version 2.2.1* I love this app, except now it doesnt work. I downloaded it again (new iphone) and it doesnt request permission to use the camera and even if I manually search to do so it doesnt appear in the apps that i can give permission, so the screen just stays black and i cant take pictures! I hope they fix this since i really enjoyed this app! ### 3/5 — AVERAGE *2018-07-04, version 2.2.1* Its okay but needs more options to upload videos not just pictures NEEDS A UPDATE! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-07-07* 2023: Please, please, PLEASE fix this app so it doesn’t crash so often. I used to really love this app, but it’s part ally unusable in its current state. Update September 2022: I finally found this app again and am sad to see how often it crashes. If I try settings it crashes, if I try to log in it crashes, if I try to edit my filters it crashes. I can take photos with it, but I wish it wasn’t so buggy. I hope this app will get fixed because it’s still a great app when it works. I have been using this app as my main camera app for a few months and I really like it. It has some stability issues (crashes when I take too many photos in a row). What I love is that you can make your own filters and share them with others. ### 5/5 — iOS 16 and it works again! :-D *2023-01-09, version 2.2.1* This app rocks and now it started working again! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2022-09-27, version 2.2.1* I have been using this app as my main camera app for a few months and I really like it.

Update September 2022: I finally found this app again and am sad to see how often it crashes. If I try settings it crashes, if I try to log in it crashes, if I try to edit my filters it crashes.

I hope this app will get fixed because it’s still a great app when it works. ### 5/5 — Please Don’t let this App Die!!! *2021-06-03, version 2.2.1* I’m thankful every day this App still lives on. The concept for it is outstanding. User created live video and photo filters that you can download and edit yourself. So many great filters there already AND you can make more. I know it’s not perfect, but we need more people to get the word out and start using it so the developer has reason to add more options. Get it!!! Use it!!! Love it!!! 😃 ### 5/5 — Please update the camera access! *2019-09-16, version 2.2.1* I’m really bummed to see that this app isn’t working anymore. I would rave about this app to everyone and unfortunately the app does not ask for camera access so it’s impossible to use the filters! Please update to allow camera access so we can use the app as is at least? There’s no other app like this and I hope it returns someday. <3 ### 5/5 — Please do not buy *2019-09-01, version 2.2.1* Does not work on iPhones now. It was a great app. ### 5/5 — Wherever you are Dominick Seibold, come out of hiding... *2018-03-09, version 2.2.1* Your camera app AREMAC is brilliant, powerful and infinitely creative! Please don’t abandon this app. The filters are multidimensional and configurable, offering more variety then practically any other imaging app in the iTunes App Store. I would pay a yearly subscription just to insure this app doesn’t go orphaned. Take it from me, I have over 700 Apps on my iPhone 8+ (more on my 6s, but many have gone orphaned), most of them dealing with photos and images. I don’t think there is anything I have that is as powerful as your app for creating images, and editing photos to create something always unique. Please give us a sign you are alive and well and will continue to upgrade this magical app! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fantabulous! *2018-02-18, version 2.2.1* I have used AremaC to rescue all sorts of lousy and boring photos! You would be amazed at what some of the filters will do to change a photo of lousy scenery into something surreal or so much better than it looked when you took it! AremaC is the most versatile app around! I am just learning to make my own photo filters and managed a great comic book look for indoors, anyway. Great fun. Please, please update it regularly, developer! ### 5/5 — The best dollar you will ever spend *2016-07-25, version 2.2.1* Just terrific. ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC *2016-05-02, version 2.2.1* Yes, this app is fantastic. So many possibilities. I appreciate his tutorials, you can feel that the developer love what he does and we'll see more upgrades with more good stuff. I'll contribute to his work by buying any other app that the developer have to offer. I checked the reviews of 3 stars or less and the majority of them sort of complain about how good it's the app., saying that it's too advance for them. I'll advice people to watch the video tutorials and learn good tips such as shortcuts and ways to see the potential of the App. Yes, it's advance but it's also simple. My level isn't advance however for me learning from the tutorials is a good way to use what I learn as a base for exploration with very good results. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
