Worst downgrade of all time

I have been using this app for over a decade. I used to take every selfie with these filters. They had the cutest stickers too! Overtime they added ads, which I understand. Seeing an ad in exchange for a new filter for a day seemed like a decent deal. But then came the ai and now they made PREVIOUSLY FREE FILTERS into PAY TO USE?
Now they have a YEARLY MONTHLY WEEKLY PLAN?
And to kill it off, I tried to use it today to find out that even the ORIGINAL non filtered option is a pay feature.
The absolute greed. This is my first review on the appstore, thats how livid I am.

Very bad app

I am
Not happy with the paid version of this . Too many filters. The earlier version was simple . And why are the favorite filters not saved ? Every time I open app I cannot search for a particular filter !! How can I revert back to old version ??
If this continues I will not renew !! Waste of money !!

유료구매자인데 구매복원이 안되요

구매복원 눌러도 결제하라고만 나옵니다. 애플계정은 예전과 달라진게 없어요
어디로 연락하면 되죠?

From Fan Favorite to Forgotten

I used to love Candy Camera for many years, until today. A subscription service is not a good way to do business in an era where subscriptions are everywhere.

Esa cámara era lo mejor para mí, pero de repente lo cambiaron y hay que pagar ahora

La peor cámara

초창기에 유료결제 했었는데 프리미엄유료랑은 다른건가요?

Ehh

I have had this camera app for so many years, and now they want to charge to use the app. Also why does AI now have to be apart of it…

Premium

All the good fillers become premium😖😖too bad

Devastated With New Monetization and AI

Log on one day to find out they want to add AI and now most of their filters are paywalled; I’m assuming to fund whatever AI endeavors they have. I’m so, SO disappointed. I used to be able to use stickers and have all the filters available to me. I used their filters on ALL my pictures. They have wonderful options, but I just will not support it.

Response from developer

Hi Chexed.nut, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your honest feedback — we really appreciate it, even when it’s not the easiest to read. I’m truly sorry to hear how disappointed you were with the recent changes. We know many long-time users like you loved having full access to all the stickers and filters for free, and it must have felt frustrating to suddenly find some of them behind Premium. We introduced AI features because we believe they can make photo editing much more powerful and fun — things like smart sticker suggestions, advanced background removal, intelligent beautification, and creative new effects that users have been asking for. Running high-quality AI requires significant resources, so we made the decision to move some of our more advanced filters and effects to Premium to help fund ongoing development and keep improving the app. That said, we completely understand why this change feels disappointing, especially if you were using our filters on all your pictures. We’re actively working on adding more value for free users as well, and feedback like yours helps guide those improvements. If you’re open to giving it another try, we’d love for you to check out the new AI tools. We also offer a free trial of Premium so you can explore everything without any commitment. Your support over the years has meant a lot to us, and we hate losing fans like you. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see improved or brought back to the free version, please feel free to reach out directly to us at support@woozoo.app. We’re listening and value your input. Thank you again, The Candy Team

Bad Move Candy Cam !

Removed almost all free filter and moved to premium + multiple annoying toggle just to get premium = uninstalled app and moved to Google Snapseed
Suggestion: make app only for premium members only !

Response from developer

Hi again@89, Thank you for taking the time to leave your honest feedback — we really appreciate it, even when it’s tough to hear. We’re sorry the recent changes to the free filters and the extra premium prompts made your experience frustrating enough to uninstall. We’ve been working hard to keep Candy Cam sustainable while still delivering new filters and features, but we clearly missed the mark on how those changes felt for users who prefer the free version. Your suggestion to make the app premium-only (no freemium model at all) is actually really interesting and we’re actively discussing it internally. We want Candy Cam to feel fun and easy again, not pushy. In the meantime, you can always try 1-week free trial of Premium with no commitment — full access, cancel anytime. If you’re open to it, we’d love to hear more about exactly which free filters you used most and what would make you consider giving the app another chance. We’re already working on adjustments to reduce the annoyance factor and bring back more value for free users. Thanks again for sticking with us long enough to write this — it genuinely helps us improve. Best regards, The Candy Cam Team

used to be my go to

latest update (msrch 2026) has finally completely broken the app. and, i pay for premium ... loved this 9 years ago-ush when i purchased.. but as time has gone by.. updates keep breaking it

It used to be my preferred pic app

All the filters are now premium it's appalling

bummed me

I’ve used this app for about 3 years and it was my favorite filter app. It sucks now that you guys have AI and have to pay for premium for filters that used to be free😐

No longer free

I was able to use basic filters for free for YEARS and now they want to charge. No thanks! Really disappointing, especially after using this for a long time.

Sudden subscription model

Been using this app for years. I even remember paying for features a while ago.

But upon opening the app I’m now confronted with a subscription model paywall.

You should create a new app if you think it’s different enough to charge a subscription fee. I can’t help feel I’m now suddenly expected to pay for an app I’ve been using for years. And had already paid for???

Like, what happened to the pro upgrade I paid for? Are you legally allowed to just take away what I paid for?

I’m Immediately uninstalling this app.

I've been using this app for almost 10 years, and I don't think they want to make it premium now.
