On comprend que passer à plus de fonctionnalités payantes soit décevant. C'est ce qui nous permet de continuer à développer l'app sur le long terme et d'ajouter du nouveau régulièrement. Merci pour ta fidélité ❤️ ### 3/5 — Good, but they keep deleting filters I love *2026-04-14, version 5.5.6* Been using this app for years, but I’m starting to get disappointed with it since they launch new filters and then when I finally have find my favourite ones, they delete them. I don’t understand that. ### 5/5 — 10/10 recommend *2026-04-10, version 5.5.6* I love this app. It offers so many different filters and ways to change the lighting, colors, etc. I always use it for my pictures. ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2026-04-10, version 5.5.6* I love all the editing options! I feel like a pro using this and pictures come out FIRE🔥❤️ ### 5/5 — best for insta! *2026-04-09, version 5.5.6* I love color tone!! Makes my photos look so aesthetic and it’s free! ### 3/5 — 𓇼 ⋆.˚ 𓆉 𓆝 𓆡⋆.˚ 𓇼 *2026-04-06* I like the filters but literally almost all of them cost money $$$$ **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We’re glad you like the filters, and we’re always working to offer a mix of free and premium options. ### 5/5 — Colourtone *2026-04-03, version 5.5.3* Great app for videos and pics ### 5/5 — Colour ton *2026-04-02, version 5.5.3* I love this app it makes my pictures look so cute definitely get this app ### 4/5 — Love this app but sick of subscription pricing *2026-03-20* Hi there! This is one of my favourite photo editing apps. I use the free version and get a good selection of filter options. I did find it weird that on a recent update, a couple filters that I already had access to now required following the apps socials to unlock. Kinda sad to update an app and have it become less usable to you. I don’t know that anyone is going to listen, but as something to consider, I’d be more willing to spend money on the app if it didn’t use subscription pricing. A couple dollars to unlock a single filter that you really like the look of and I’m sure I’d purchase a couple. Instead you have to pay a reoccurring subscription fee that means that once you stop paying, everything gets stripped away. All that money and you never actually owned a thing :( **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback 🤍 Just to clarify, you don’t actually need to follow our account to unlock those filters! Once you tap the button that links to our socials, the filter unlocks automatically. We appreciate you sharing this though. It helps us see where we can make things clearer ✨ We really appreciate your comments on app store pricing too. This is something we are always evaluating and will evolve as we grow Colourtone. ### 2/5 — Please bring back coogee *2026-03-12, version 5.4.1* So I’m begging you please bring back coogee because I have a social media on zepeto and I need it for posts and my parents will say no to pay so I’m just hoping you guys can maybe make coogee free tysm and please! ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER *2026-03-08, version 5.3* This app is the best app for filters for Toca Boca and aesthetic pictures. I recommend this app to everyone. ### 5/5 — Using more than 1 filter please *2026-02-28, version 5.3* Great app! Please make it so that we can use more than 1 filter and stack them , to add during the edits. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — i don’t have instagram *2026-06-18, version 5.5.8* i can’t use coogie when that the only reason i got this app ### 1/5 — What is going on *2026-05-20, version 5.5.8* New update makes the app glitch when you try importing more than 2 images, crashes and won’t upload anymore. Thought updates were meant to upgrade apps but each app has been downgrading for years now. ### 1/5 — Glitchy!! Can’t edit. *2026-04-16, version 5.5.7* App has been SOOOOOOO SLOW. Cannot even click on the tone button without having to wait literally and I mean literally 5-10 minutes for it to even go to the next screen. I can’t click on ANYTHING it won’t register or is just so extremely slow. Ive opened and closed the app over 7 times and updated it as well. If I didn’t have a perfected filter I would’ve been deleted this app but unfortunately it’s time to gooo. Worst editing app ever ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-03-21, version 5.4.3* There are barely any filters that or free and made the filters I use cost money and no more filters that I could use ### 1/5 — Ridiculously annoying *2026-03-18, version 5.4.2* I have used this app for years and have paid for multiple filters. Just recently it’s now making me subscribe to use the filters I have already purchased… basically multiple of the filters I’ve used time and time again are now locked with a watermark. ### 1/5 — $$$wasted *2026-03-17, version 5.4.2* Bought presets and now can’t use because I have to purchase their “Go Pro+” waste of money. Really used to like this app. ### 1/5 — Making the only good free filter for money! *2026-03-10* Why are we making the one and only good filter for money first start off with following the Insta and now it’s for money at this point, I’m not even gonna be on Colourtone anymore. I have no business being on this app if you guys are going to be taking the one and only good filter away like nobody wants it for money you were the ones who made that filter free now we’re making it for money was just for signing in or whatever or for money I don’t care if it’s a free trial some people don’t even have debit cards yet some people are 14 and editing and that’s what makes the career easier doing this ruins all the memories of Colourtone and I don’t like having the label in front of my filter when I’m trying to post something so thanks alot Colourtone **Developer response:** Hello, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry for the frustration this caused. We realise there was an unintended bug with some of our filters which locked them. We are very sorry and are releasing a hot fix as soon as possible. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us, we really appreciate the feedback. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-03-01, version 5.3* This app has become completely unusable with the “upgrade to pro”. I’m using filters that I paid for and free features and I will get that + the watermark and not be able to continue editing my picture and it’s driving me crazy i’m about to stop using the app even though i’ve paid for many packs of filters ### 1/5 — please make it free. *2026-01-20, version 5.2.1* I hate that everything cost money. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-01-16, version 5.2.1* 4 ugly filters in the free version. Uninstalled immediately ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Needs a new update *2026-06-27, version 5.5.8* PLEASE AND PLEASE MAKE A MEW UPDATE THAT SAMSUNG CAN USE IT I HAVE GALAXY SAMSUNG A17 and I found out that only iOS can use.
