### 2/5 — Crash in ios 17 iphone 12 mini

*2024-07-21, version 1.6.0*

Crash in ios 17 iphone 12 mini. I can’t use

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-01-04*

Forgot to read the reviews!
It’s really terrible and waste of money

### 1/5 — Gimmick

*2023-06-23*

Don’t waste time or money. It’s not for any kind of good photography. Only cheap stuff.

### 4/5 — フィルターが表示されない

*2023-01-02*

大好きなアプリなので最新のOSに対応して頂けると嬉しいです！

### 3/5 — バグについて

*2018-11-24*

最新OSで使用すると書き出した画像がぼやけるバグが発生してしまいます。愛用しているアプリですので、ぜひ最新OSへの対応お願い致します。

### 2/5 — いまいち

*2016-11-26*

正方形様は秀逸だが課金してまで買う価値があるかどうか疑問。

### 5/5 — Gradients!

*2016-10-03*

Great app for adding gradients to iPhone shots. Sky too bright and foreground too dark? This will fix it. Both line and circular gradients. Easy to use and also lots of features to do more complex edits. Closest app to computer based gradient editing I've found.

### 1/5 — No Thumbnails 👿 No Support

*2016-05-22*

If choosing a picture from your library it is impossible to see the thumbnails.  This in spite of access to photos having been enabled.  Therefore impossible to use.
I would ask for support but there is none available.  Just some video online for something called gradgram

### 5/5 — Very Neat App

*2015-12-29*

This is actually a very fun and useful app if you want to create a nice color gradient on your photos.  I've taken some landscape photos and used this app and you can even adjust the colors of the gradient.  Very nice.  Glad I took the chance and bought it.

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2015-09-06*

Melhor app de gradiente para edição do itunes, as fotos ficam lindas e é muito pratico de usar.
