I received confirmation of payment on my phone, but nothing from the app and everything is still same as free version (which means it’s still so annoying with ads and watermark). Disappointed. ### 2/5 — AD Bug?? *2020-06-05, version 1.12* First time using this app was sad. The only time where the app really uses sparkles is when the picture/video has something very white in it or if its sunny which can make many photos/vids look kinda dull in comparison. Also, when I put in a video in the app, after it finished converting, an ad (unskipable btw) showed up but once it was over, there was no way I could go back to see the video, wasnt even in my photos (and the ads show up EVERYTIME) . So i re-did it 3x and found out the only way to get rid of it is to leave the app, then come back to it 🤦🏽‍♀️Please fix this because someone might think the app is worthless... ### 1/5 — Too many Ads// do not recommend *2020-05-21, version 1.12* So it’s my first time downloading the app and I already dislike it. All I wanted to do was import a video and add the glitter effect to it but whenever I tried to do so an ad came up and when I cleared out the Ad, I was no longer able to edit my picture. I thought it would only happen the first time but I was wrong. I tried to redo it all over agin by picking a picture and an ad ALWAYS popped up when I wanted to edit my picture. I’m okay with the sponsorship of ads but these are literally PREVENTING me from actually using the app. This app also does not provide a variety of options on where to place the glitter effects. I’ve seen many different apps that allow you to do that and don’t have so many ads like this one does. Very disappointed with this app, and do NOT recommend if you are looking to add glitter to your photos. Try finding a better one then this horrible service. ### 1/5 — Ruined *2020-03-13, version 1.12* Used to be a really cool app but is now so full of ads for irrelevant Bs like wood flooring and pet cremation that you can’t even use it anymore. Everything you click opens a browser for pet funerals or dumpster rentals. ### 3/5 — good effect but... *2020-03-09, version 1.12* i love the way the sparkles look, good dupe of kirakira+, but they’re never in the right places! it didn’t even work on my glossy lipgloss but on the tape on the wall behind me. i would love if it could be able to find or detect the reflective surfaces/high points of a pic/vid and make sparkles there. i will be using this app though, but probably not very often. ### 4/5 — Great app! *2020-02-01, version 1.12* The app is amazing. Only knocking off one star because the free version literally has an ad after everything you do and it’s very annoying. Almost forces you to want to pay for the full version lol but everything else is fantastic outside of that. You also can’t remove the app logo sticker from vids without paying but ehh, small price to pay for all of the other free features. ### 1/5 — it literally does nothing *2020-01-16, version 1.12* read the title. i tried editing a video and it claimed it was adding a sparkle effected but there was no difference at all. plus, the watermark. totally not worth it. ### 1/5 — Can I get more ads please? *2019-12-01, version 1.12* I get there will be ads but this is ridiculous. It’s like a big ad with a few seconds of app in between ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time! *2019-11-26, version 1.12* What a disappointment! This app is so cluttered with ads you can’t even use it! I will gladly pay for an App then deal with this nonsense! The creators of this App have sold out hard! ### 3/5 — Sparkles *2019-09-28* The sparkles just focus on one set of direction it should be kinda all over the place ### 2/5 — Too little sparkles. *2019-09-22, version 1.12* It doesn’t really put a lot of sparkles like I’d want is to , also I’d like to put my sparkles where I want to . ### 3/5 — squished videos and watermarks *2019-09-14, version 1.12* it works really well for photos, yet when i go to put it on a video, it flips my video then squished it to the original length. also, the filter picks up on watermarks, so when a photo has a watermark on it it becomes sparkly. can there be a feature where you can remove sparkles from a certain place? ### 2/5 — bruh🗿 *2019-08-06, version 1.12* the sparkles are good for when it’s sunny and your taking a video but when i tried to use it for an already taken photo/video it didn’t work as much and the more i used the app the more i found that it was useless. the saddest part is that you can’t edit sparkles in or take them out neither control the brightness of an individual sparkle. there are a lot of adds too and they’re really long. so far this is a good app for when your outside and it’s sunny and your taking a video of yourself. either than that, it’s kind of useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2022-10-16, version 2.385* Just got the new iPhone 14 and the app won’t open on it. Just keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — TRASH! *2022-08-07, version 2.385* Have NO IDEA how to use it…. 😡 Forces into sign up for a “free trial.” Deleted it. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-05-30, version 2.385* I used to use sparkle cam all the time. After downloading it again and seeing what happened to it, I think it’s safe to say I’ll switch to a different app. The app was fine before and now it just feels cheap and it doesn’t do what it used to do :( ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2022-05-11, version 2.385* About to remove from my phone! Says watch video but as never pops up and I’ve recorded the perfect video. 😡😡😡 Don’t waste your time with this one . ### 1/5 — Watermark has reappeared *2021-11-22, version 2.384* I already paid for the full version of this app and had been using it without any issues but suddenly the watermark and the developer is trying to get me to pay again to remove the watermark, etc. I have already paid and resent being fleeced for more money when I have paid already. ### 1/5 — Got ripped off *2021-10-29, version 2.38* Paid for the app but ads are still appearing. ### 1/5 — Compression. *2021-02-28, version 1.12* The compression of the videos causes a grainy and low res product. ### 1/5 — Too many ads not enough features *2021-01-30, version 1.12* Downloaded, launched, watched loads of ads, took 2 pictures, couldn’t add any effects, deleted app. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-08-19, version 1.12* This app is a scam!They have no glitter it’s just filters and adds. ### 1/5 — brillarisoverparty *2020-06-26, version 1.12* racist app 😊😊 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ugo *2026-05-29, version 3.985* This is dope! ### 5/5 — For lazy like me its the best *2026-05-14, version 3.98* Few taps and its done in seconds, reel, enhance and 50+ ### 5/5 — WOW *2026-04-21, version 3.92* Thank you i love you ### 5/5 — Trash *2021-08-27, version 2.31* Just give me the photo without having to watch an add or sell my soul… ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-01-05* Awesome app ### 5/5 — Maria Elizabeth *2019-07-04, version 1.10* Maria Hi Ok ### 5/5 — Best to test =^) *2019-05-22, version 1.10* Try b4 u buy! And reasonable price. Other app choices r either free w/ $4.99 IAP or 99¢ just to try them. Good effects. #RECOMMENDED iOS 12.2 w/ iPhone 8 in use 2 wks FEEDBACK: this app should have more descriptive keywords in the App Store: “cross-filter” “star filter” and glitter. I cannot find the app while doing a shopping search for cross-filter! You are missing customers. ### 5/5 — Good dupe for kirakira!!! *2019-03-28, version 1.10* Honestly I didn’t want to pay for kirakira and this does the job!!! You will have the trademark at the bottom but I can easily crop it out to whatever I’m posting or put a sticker over it!! So worth it! Very happy I got this before kirakira and saved the money 🤑 ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2018-12-05, version 1.10* I love it!!!! ### 5/5 — I lovet *2018-07-27, version 1.10* Good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
