I am a 10 yr old. ### 1/5 — Nul ! *2025-07-29, version 3.5* Toujours le fric !!! Il n’y a même pas moyen d’essayer votre application pompe à fric !!! Et vous , vous voulez vendre un chat dans un sac. Vous êtes nul ! ### 1/5 — Mediocre App *2024-09-11* Sorry, but I’m not impressed. To do the color splashes, you manually draw on your objects. It will pick up other parts of the photo you don’t want colored. I’m not sure what the select Shapes tool is suppose to accomplish. Pretty basic editing app. It only comes with a select few editing tools for $4.99 a month. The filters in the app are not what a professionall photographer would use on their photos. What I’ve found using filters in the past, is they degrade the quality of the photo. ### 2/5 — Unable to auto select. Too Labor intensive *2024-06-25* Color Splash has been around for awhile and though I hate subscription based apps, I decided to do the trial with intent to keep the monthly sub if it served my purpose. REALLY Developers?! You want to continuously charge people for an app that has nothing different than an app I had for free over 10 years ago?! There should be an active selection tool so edges you want for inbound color lines easily define boundaries that can’t be colored outside of. There should be a color bucket tool to drop any of 1000’s of colors (it there was a color wheel) The brush tool does not get small enough for detail since you have paint the area you want colored. This causes so much wasted time coloring and recoloring the same area with undo after undo trying not to color outside the lines. And trying to enlarge the photo so you can add detail color strokes, snaps back to a different area than the one you were trying to paint. Extremely disappointed not with just this app but the multitude of individuals who think just because the created an app (using aged capabilities in this case) gives developers the right to charge people $5.00 a month. Subscriptions are ridiculous and this app is a perfect example of why more people should be pushing back on this Apple approved form of theft. What (besides Apple and the idiots that pay for useless apps ) gives anyone the right to continuously charge for a stagnant app that does not offer any service such as cloud storage, updated tools, new features… that justify being recharged for the same app that was paid for with the very first $5.00 payment. Is there actually anyone out there that thinks 60.00 is an acceptable cost for this app?! That’s what you will pay along with the other 100s of 1000s of idiots that just keep paying for this app and 100,000 other apps just like it because what’s $5.00 a month? Subscriptions should be of value. Microsoft 365 personal is only $7.00 a month. it comes with downloadable Office apps for your computer. That’s Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook along with no less than 200GB of cloud storage on OneDrive! That’s value! You get all that (and more) from Microsoft for about $2.00 a month more than the base subscription fee charged for 1000’s and 1000’s of apps like this one. Does anyone reading this still think apps like ColorSplash are worth $5.00 a month? ### 3/5 — You all are in cahoots, no? *2024-03-14* I've had this app for *years* but haven't been doing any color splash work for a long time. Today, I have a project, and I'm checking out my apps - to find out that the price of this has shot up tremendously. $24 for a year‽ $70 to own‽ (at least, I hope that buys it.) I could dig through my records for what the cost was when I last used it, just to see how absurd it has become, but I'll probably just move on to my other similar apps to find one that's reasonably priced for the functions available. At least some developers grandfather in users who have had the app for years- but nope. Not these guys. I'm all for a living wage, don't get me wrong, but the cost of doing business surely hasn't gone up so much that every developer “needs” to charge $25-$50+ annually or $50~$100+ to buy. This isn't an all-around editor - it does essentially one thing: it changes colors. Wouldn't it be nice if Apple or Google add Color Splash and/or Recolor to their basic editors? Once upon a time they didn't include a crop tool (not that some huge %age of people seem to know how to use it!) and other tools I had to buy. I don't care for monopolies but if developers are acting in concert with each other on the cost of apps (and g-d subscriptions!) there may as well be one already. ### 1/5 — They should ask for pay upfront. *2024-01-13* A clunky app that will let you use the function once. Might be better, if ad driven, but in this current state, simply avoid it. ### 1/5 — Troppa pubblicità si passa più tempo a vedere pubblicità che a usarlo *2023-12-17, version 3.4* Disinstallato ### 1/5 — Application incomplète *2023-09-01* Application incomplète, fonction obsolète de fonction de recolorisation indisponible, non en fonctionnement ou via abonnement absolument hors de prix. Pas la peine de télécharger. ### 1/5 — Payant *2023-07-11, version 3.4* Payant ### 4/5 — Good, but… *2022-06-26* I really like this app, but I will say not the best. I love that this app can change pictures into black and white pics, but I wish this app could desaturate parts but you can’t and I think there’s too much ads for one app. ## Frequently asked questions about Color Splash and Photo Editor ### What does the Color Splash and Photo Editor app do?
