Just a few additions would make it top notch! *2022-06-04, version 2.0* Great app. If you could just add processing for existing camera roll images and possible video processing? Then it would be perfect. UPDATE 6/22: Yes! The dev is still updating! The new + version of the app has matured so much, bought it right away. Still hoping for processing of images & videos from the camera roll or iOS share or Files file system in the future for post processing. Update: App seems to be forgotten? Hope the dev gets back into making their app better. ### 5/5 — Good but... *2020-04-25, version 1.0* How about loading a picture? ### 5/5 — Fun and effective! *2019-12-18* This app is great!
