### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-05-21, version 1.1.11*

Can’t do anything except open the app

### 1/5 — I like the app, but…

*2026-05-20, version 1.1.11*

The app was awesome when I started using it several years ago. But now, it’s crashing before I can access any photos to edit.

### 1/5 — APP CRASHES 100% OF THE TIME

*2026-05-19, version 1.1.11*

I HAVE SENT 3 EMAILS ADVISING THEM AND ASKING FOR A FIX, BUT I AM BEING IGNORED

### 1/5 — App is Not Functioning

*2026-05-18, version 1.1.11*

App just closes automatically when trying to use. Zero stars.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-05-14, version 1.1.11*

I used to love this app and it had great potential. I even paid for a lifetime subscription. Not I feel cheated as I no longer works on my iPhone. It just crashes when you want to select photos to edit.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!! The company and users can use your pics forever!

*2026-05-09, version 1.1.11*

Please read the privacy policy. I’m pretty sure the one in the app is different from the one shown here. 

What happens to content you create

You still “own” your creations — but they get huge rights to use them

This is one of the most important sections.

When you upload prompts, images, voice clips, or AI artwork, you give Lightricks an extremely broad license to:

* use your content
* copy it
* modify it
* share it
* display it publicly
* promote it
* create new works from it
* allow partners and other users to reuse it

And they can do this worldwide, forever, without paying you.

That includes:

* text prompts
* uploaded images
* voice/sound uploads
* generated artwork
* comments/posts

They also say other users may be allowed to generate new images from your prompts or cues.

So while they say you may own your artwork “to the extent allowed by law,” you’re also giving them very broad permanent usage rights.

### 3/5 — App crashes

*2026-04-24, version 1.1.11*

So I bought the bundle and Art leap was part of the bundle. I rarely used Art Leap. The second I used it the app kept on closing. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing, same crash. It is a good app but the crashing needs to be addressed and fixed.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-04-18, version 1.1.11*

I can’t load any pictures. I’ve uninstalled it. Bought the year membership. And… nothing! Every time I try to load a picture it crashes!

### 3/5 — バグか？

*2026-04-10*

No te deja usar la app

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes

*2026-04-08, version 1.1.11*

### 1/5 — Kötü bir uygulama

*2026-03-25, version 1.1.11*

Uygulamayı indirip yıllık abonelik satın aldıktan sonra uygulama kendiliğinden kapanıyor.

### 1/5 — Artleap by Lightricks

*2026-03-22, version 1.1.11*

Lightricks products are usually pretty reliable but it failed miserably with Artleap, the program will kicked you out instantly as soon as entered from the main page. Reset and reinstalled numerous times without help, I've paid in full for one year, please refund the money

### 1/5 — App Keeps Crashing

*2026-03-15, version 1.1.11*

I installed the app on my iPad Pro and when I started it up to allow access to my library, the app crashed. I uninstalled it and re-installed and the same thing happened. Thank goodness I was still within my 3 day trial period.

### 1/5 — Quit working

*2026-03-12, version 1.1.11*

I liked the app,  fun and interesting.  Then it quit! I can't get it to work!

### 1/5 — Dejo de funcionar

*2026-03-11, version 1.1.11*

Pagué la suscripción y ahora no funciona. Abre y al momento de querer agregar una fotografía se cierra. Ya lo desinstale y lo volví a funcionar y sigue sin funcionar. Solicité soporte, mandé un video del error y nunca hubo respuesta.

### 4/5 — App crashes!!!!!

*2026-02-28, version 1.1.11*

Every one of the Light Tricks photo apps crashes every time I go to use them!!!
When I originally bought these apps, they worked fine. Not sure what’s up with them now!
Please fix them!! I greatly appreciate all of your help!!!

### 1/5 — Has a flaw

*2026-02-06, version 1.1.11*

This app and the company has a flaw. I have requested the app be fixed to work with the latest iOS 26.0 and higher and I always get the same email from them saying delete, reinstall etc and they still have not fixed the issue. I used to use this app all the time and loved it but now it doesn’t work on iPhone nor iPad anymore.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-09-08, version 1.1.11*

The app constantly crashes either on opening or when trying to select a photo.

### 1/5 — no recent updates

*2026-09-07, version 1.1.11*

getting old

### 1/5 — Crashes on launch

*2026-08-12, version 1.1.11*

Why leave this app on the store if it is just going to crash on launch.   Fresh install on a 15 Pro Max.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-08-10, version 1.1.11*

App crashes every time I try to open a photo. Tried reinstalling, restarting phone, and even signed up for subscription and allowed full access to photos. Still doesn’t work. Bummer.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-08-04, version 1.1.11*

I have been emailing as app not working. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.11*

A horrible , clunky, user unfriendly app

### 1/5 — Grade installiert geht nicht

*2026-07-26*

Wenn ich zb. Kaleidoskop auswähle auf jetzt starten drücke dann schließt sich die App, trotzdem haben die jetzt vollen Zugriff auf meine Fotos und ich habe Geld bezahlt aber kann dies auch nicht mehr rückgängig machen. Und es hat unnötig Speicherplatz verschwendet - Finger weg, Scam. Unbezahlter Tipp auf Picsart umsteigen.

### 1/5 — Junk!

*2026-07-17, version 1.1.11*

I paid for the app, and it CRASHED!! 😡 It absolutely is junk! It does not open at all! I deleted it reinstalled it. Signed in. Signed out. I emailed tech support and they said they are aware of the problem and DO NO KNOW WHEN it will be fixed! End of email! Can you believe it? They didn’t bother to ask me what type of phone I have. Nada! They asked me to send them my receipt of payment! Once they verified that I paid, then radio silence! Sooo dissatisfied and disappointed! 😢

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2026-06-22, version 1.1.11*

App continuously crashes. Lost my patience. This happens every so often

### 1/5 — App closes when accessing features.

*2026-06-20, version 1.1.11*

Liked it a lot when it worked.  Sent message to support and it appears it was a known problem.  It is about 4 months later and it is still not working.  Canceled my subscription.

### 5/5 — Easily could’ve of been 5-stars

*2026-02-23, version 1.1.11*

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong but this app doesn’t work anymore, can’t even get it to start up. Paid subscription, reset my phone, the whole nine yards hopefully I can get some sort of technical support.

### 5/5 — 😵‍💫Uh Oh! Not Compatible w/ iPad Upgrade!

*2026-01-15, version 1.1.11*

After I upgraded to iPadOS 26.2 the app no longer recognizes access to my gallery photos.  Numerous times—I have reinstalled Artleap and made sure Artleap had ‘Full Access’ to Photos within the iPad Settings app.  But still, it just will NOT work any longer.  So so very disappointing! 😵‍💫

Long time user, it was one of my favorite apps.

### 5/5 — Manda error al intentar abrir las fotografías

*2026-01-14, version 1.1.11*

Compré la app y ya no funciona con la última versión de iOS, al querer abrir una fotografía para editarla la aplicación se cierra. ( Le otorgué los permisos adecuados para acceder a mi galería de fotos). Levante un ticket de soporte pero no han hecho nada.

### 5/5 — Так себе
