Well done, good interface etc. But some new features would be nice. Being able to record your touch movements or at least set some motion parameters and export that as a video would be great. ### 3/5 — No High Res option *2024-06-27, version 3.3.1* Love the presets in the app however I have a monthly subscription and I am really disappointed that you can only export in low res JPEG. I feel like if you pay this much you want to be able to export in High-Res ### 4/5 — No HD export *2024-04-06, version 3.3.1* I love the app and the ability to place the prism where you want on the image but extremely disappointed that I can’t export in HD; my full res image was downsized to 72ppi. For as much as this app costs, I would expect to keep the same resolution. ### 2/5 — Became paid app *2024-01-22, version 3.3.1* I used to like it better when it wasn’t paid lol Don’t you guys think it’s a bit expensive? ### 4/5 — Cool but one request *2023-09-14, version 3.2* I would love to have the camera show the live effect of the prism, not just applying it to a photo ### 5/5 — What happened to my free trial??? *2023-07-18, version 3.2* You wouldnt let me continue till I signed up for 3 days free trial… &then you hit me with 59.99 for one year…why??? You could have let me know… Really disappointed! & annoyed…Even though I was enjoying… ### 5/5 — App user *2023-06-29* This is a very easy to use app with a lot of flexibility in your creations ### 5/5 — Пользуюсь давно, крутой эффект *2023-05-31* Все устраивает и в бесплатной версии, лучшие фото пропускала через это приложение, делая зеркальное отражение ### 5/5 — Super cool *2023-03-13, version 3.1.3* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Class *2023-03-02* Мне все нравится ### 5/5 — Pretty good! *2023-02-20* Love this App!! Thinking of purchasing it but 59€ is really heavy 😅 are there any discounts? 😅 **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback.

As soon as you open the app, it uses double tap on the side button to automatically subscribe you to monthly plan. Since you are downloading the app usually double tapping on the side button triggers the download. So you are easily fooled by this behavior. Other apps have a more clear subscription page with terms and conditions etc. After this when you are in the app, there is no freaking was to cancel the subscription. Which means if you did not notice what you double tapped on, you are done. Monthly $7.99 will go from your wallet without you even knowing you are paying for it. This is the worst user experience and a scammer style approach. I would stay away and report this. ### 1/5 — I bought this app and you want me to give you more money *2025-01-29, version 3.3.1* I bought this app years ago and seeing that majority of the filters are locked out for buy this app again for $80 is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Fraud! *2024-07-14, version 3.3.1* This app is a fraud! When I downloaded this they said that I have a 7 day trial subscription and I can cancel my subscription a day before the trial ends and won’t charge me but it was a lie coz they charged me right after downloading the app! The worse is this app doesn’t even work! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore. *2024-06-17, version 3.3.1* It won’t work anymore. It used to be my favorite app ever. Now it’s useless. ### 1/5 — Way too expensive *2024-05-22, version 3.3.1* Way too expensive per month for a photo editing app. ### 1/5 — Pointless unless you want an expensive subscription *2023-10-23, version 3.3* Only 2 free prism options, really disappointing ### 1/5 — Nope *2023-08-27, version 3.2* Used to have atleast 2 free options but just the one? And then the pricy subscription? No fair if you ask me ### 1/5 — Pretty ordinary *2023-08-05, version 3.2* Yeah look not real happy I had Photo Booth on higher generation iPad (which new chocolate Labrador puppy destroyed) it allowed you to shoot in 9 various lenses I just wanted the kaleidoscope hex lense, this app was standard on start up and totally free This after adjust edit I don’t like Spontaneous rapid fire shooting then examine all shots after finishing the shoot, is spur of the moment art, not computer edit. All good just not my gig, I need to explore app more anyway, $12 / month bit too crazy I’m expecting mind boggling features I haven’t discovered. Tyvm regards “The Green Algae Sponge “ 🫡 ### 1/5 — No way to save in high resolution *2022-04-18* Once the payment was made, all functions were unlocked but the option to save in high resolution did not appear. I contacted the assistance without receiving any feedback from them. ### 1/5 — Instantly subscribed me without authorization *2022-02-28, version 3.0.1* Scam. No option for three day trial. Was advised three day trial then instantly charged. Reported to Apple. Beware ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Go-to prism effects app *2025-02-18, version 3.3.1* So many ways you can edit the crystal effects. Love that you can move the prism effects around just by touching and pinching the screen. Super simple and always gets me in an editing trance. ### 5/5 — Muy buena app, aunque… *2024-12-27* la aplicación está muy bien, y mejora en su versión premium, pero peca de opciones como poder editar multiples fotos a la vez o guardar tus propias configuraciones por si te gusta tener unas foto con el mismo edit para tu perfil en instagram ### 5/5 — Flabbergasted *2024-10-23, version 3.3.1* Amazing ### 5/5 — fantastico *2024-07-29, version 3.3.1* magnificent ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-07-01, version 3.3.1* 10/10 would recommend ### 5/5 — Cristaliq *2024-06-30, version 3.3.1* Good job ### 5/5 — Big fan of this app *2024-04-01* I wish it would have more free settings tho ### 5/5 — I’ve been on this app 5 minutes and I’m obsessed. *2023-10-04, version 3.2* Enough said. ### 5/5 — Photo glory! *2023-08-26, version 3.2* My photos glory for this app! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-08-14, version 3.2* I love this app, even though you have to pay $2.99 it’s honestly worth it. 💅🏻✨ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
