### 3/5 — Need filter strength slider

*2025-04-10, version 2.8*

Some good light leak effects but there’s no strength slider so it’s always at 100% which is way too strong for anyone anything really. Need to have the slider to be actually useful.

### 1/5 — Purchases Not Restoring

*2021-03-28*

Bought colourful black a while back but uninstalled for a bit and reinstalled back but my purchases although says restored would only ask me to purchase again. Please assist. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Not as different as other apps

*2021-02-10*

This app is extremely confusing in what I get for the $4.99. It gives me weird prompts to pay for filters and trial version banners. But it doesn’t seem to be all that special in the black and white. The contrast setting seems off. The iPhone filter seems to do a better job with setting up B&W photos. Not worth paying for. This just not worth it.

### 5/5 — 很喜欢!

*2020-10-19*

非常酷的软件!平时就很喜欢用手机拍点身边的小玩意,然后自己加点滤镜什么的,在推荐里看到觉得很感兴趣就下载了!体验感很好!里面的效果都很酷!使用调整也挺方便的,总之很棒!调过的照片看上去都高大上了XD希望做的越来越棒!

**Developer response:** 比心♥️会继续把废片优化好哒，感谢～～

### 4/5 — 希望增加多镜头切换！！！

*2020-08-15*

就这个价钱来讲时是比较良心了，比较一共花了31
胶卷漏光模拟的也不错，就是这个多镜头切换真的很希望早日可以安排上，毕竟有不带机器出门有时候还是想用超广角。毕竟可以把不经意间看到的景色净收眼底，希望开发者可以继续推出可玩性很强的漏光胶卷模拟。😬软件什么时候加了多镜头切换我给五星😉

**Developer response:** 哈哈哈！谢谢反馈！多镜头切换安排上！

### 4/5 — 那个我来问下

*2020-04-14*

相机滤镜还是不能编辑图片吗？我买了无信号的相机，点右上编辑图片的时候还是红光。是还没适配没QWQ

**Developer response:** 可以了的！更新到最新的2.5版本，就能编辑啦～麻烦确认下是否已经2.5版本哦～～感谢反馈

### 1/5 — I regret buying this.

*2020-04-06*

I wish I could control the opacity and the positioning of the flares more to suit my photo.

### 5/5 — 刚刚购买了相机，但是不能用于编辑已拍摄图片

*2020-03-16*

这就有点鸡肋了，买来是为了给照片调色的

**Developer response:** 你好～2.3版本已经实现相机滤镜应用与已拍图片～在相机界面右上角！

### 3/5 — Ücret

*2020-03-12, version 2.2*

Ücretli bir uygulama olup içinde tekrardan ücret istemesi üzücü bi durum içerikleri parayla almamız gerekiyor ve bedava efektler aşırı kötü kimsenin kullanıcağı cinsten değil diğer paketleri de ücretsiz yapman getekşyor kanka

### 5/5 — 好

*2020-01-23*

好是很好用就是买过那个相机之后用不了还要再次购买
