### 2/5 — Not a new Dreamscope

*2024-12-06*

How many years are we past the death of Dreamscope, and all this can do is turn a photo into a simulated sketch with an awkward color palette forced into it?  There are two-hundred or so “styles” yet most of them don’t give results much different than any other.  Dreamscope was head and shoulders above this with pre-AI techniques.  It’s all just so disappointing.

### 3/5 — How does it work

*2024-11-11, version 2.0.8*

I tried using the various styles on a photo, and don’t know how to save one. After I tried four effects, it won’t let me try any more. I am just making an initial exploration here, trying to see what this app will do for a photo and how I can save it. Struck dumb.

### 4/5 — Have this via Android ℹ️

*2023-07-15, version 2.0.8*

Not a bad app to work with on either device takes a bit of finesse working with photos which originates from Nokia 2760 when they end up on either device I have Google Photos on both the onn. 3rd generation 7-inch and the iPad 6 had this on an iOS 12-issued pawn shop found iPad then that decided two owners after six years was enough this app is going to be deployed with a project my cousin is doing publishing-wise with her neighbor back in Chicago and out west.

### 1/5 — No sirve y acabo de pagar

*2023-06-05, version 2.0.8*

Pague la suscripción de un mes $69 pesos y no me dice que la compre. Debería darme acceso al bajarla con mi ID y no lo hizo me pide pagar otra vez para ser Pro.

### 2/5 — Regular filters

*2023-06-03, version 2.0.8*

Sorry, great app but it’s just a bunch of regular filters!  I will play around a bit more, just in case I’m missing the bigger experience from using this app.

### 2/5 — Gotta pay to remove watermark

*2023-06-02, version 2.0.8*

Nothing special

### 1/5 — Ruined it

*2023-04-08*

I don’t know what happened with this app! About a month ago I updated and everything looked good with improvements and more control over results. This morning I can’t even open the app, without it crashing! Hopefully it is being fixed otherwise it’s useless!

### 1/5 — CRASHES FREQUENTLY iPhone 13 pro max

*2023-02-08, version 1.2.7*

It crashes frequently.  Do something!😡

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time…

*2022-12-26*

…you’ve probably already have an app that’s 1000x better than this.

TL;DR: over-processed initial images that take way too long to be that bad; little real variation in filters; despite a 0-100 tour slider, anything less than 50% might as well be zero; impossible to undo a filter short of turning to zero and hitting “apply”; despite the filter page having a save button, every filter you try is saved and uploaded to their cloud. 

What I didn’t like:
1. There’s very little difference between the filters. They all seem to be a variation of sketch, mosaic, or color wash/blend/saturation. None of the images I tried came out anywhere close to the sample. I tried multiple formats, photos, illustrations, and vector graphics. 
2. Considering there are 100s (1000s?) of photo filter apps out there that take no time at all, this app can take upwards of 30 seconds to (over)process an image. The entire time the app has a splash screen saying “intelligence makes it better.”
3. When you apply a filter, it’s applied at full strength, making the initial image unrecognizable and way over-baked. At 50% there’s almost zero filter effect left. 
4. You can’t uncheck or undo a filter. Your only option is to turn the strength to zero before trying the next one. (Actually, you could just turn it down to “40%” to remove the filter).
5. On the filter screen there’s a save-to-photos button, which turns out to be quite ironic since the app saves EVERY filter applied to EVERY image at 100% strength to its on-phone storage, as well as to its cloud. So if you try 20 filters on one image, saving none, when you go back to the app’s home screen you have all 20 of the images you just rejected. *And* they’re on the app’s website. I’m sure they have a selling point somewhere about the number of users images posted per day. 
6. The unwanted images are saved by name plus a sequential number. If I DID want two or three out of 20 it would help if the name(s) of the filter(s) applied were included in the file name. 

It might be possible to turn a filter down to almost nothing and combine it with 2 or more filters to get a pleasing effect, but why take that time when you could just use an app that works.

### 1/5 — Don’t pay for premium version -SCAM

*2022-09-11*

I paid for the premium version of this app and when you go to save a printable file, they ask you to pay MORE MONEY. If I try to share my image the app CRASHES. You can’t do any adjustments to your image, only add their filter. It’s very slow to load images as well. This app is a complete fail in my opinion. My advice is to use BeCasso instead. You can adjust the images after filter is applied and save your work to your tablet.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2022-09-02, version 1.2.7*

Extremely slow.

### 4/5 — It doesn’t work 😞

*2022-07-23, version 1.2.7*

The app is really awesome but sometimes it doesn’t work at all. I tap the effect, it “thinks” but nothing happens and no result at the end, just processing. Please fix this problem, I bought the VIP version and I would like that it works well

### 1/5 — A Bit Fraudulent

*2025-04-02*

I purchased this app in full years ago and have used it regularly. So imagine my surprise when after not using it for a few months I open the app and I’m hit with a subscription prompt. Huh? Or I can re-purchase it for 41 dollars. Huh?

Why is any of this happening? I have already bought this app. This is ridiculous and has got to be illegal.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2025-03-30, version 2.0.8*

Paid for the app, but wasn’t asked to register. Now I can’t access my purchase, and the app keeps crashing. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2025-02-26, version 2.0.8*

Cualquier filtro que elija me sale un error, no sirve

### 1/5 — WHAT HAPPENED?

*2025-02-25*

I have had this app for years paid and all. My subscription ran out so I got the app or downloaded again and before I could do anything it prompts u to start the free trial and nothing else. This is what got me hooked in the first time but at least I was able to see a few effects before buying. The support has rested on their laurels or in a deep sleep. So before using this be prepared to pay up front even though 3 day trial should allow u to do as it states they gave a better more corrupt plan. There are too many other apps that are more effective and more supportive than to use or be used!

### 1/5 — Impossible de faire quoi que ce soit

*2024-10-16*

Je suis sur iPad 2018, et j’ai beau essayer tous les filtres à chaque fois on me dit qu’une erreur est survenue et je ne peux rien faire. J’ai tout tenté redémarrer, désinstaller réinstaller mais cela ne fonctionne pas pour moi. En tout cas.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-02-04, version 2.0.8*

It won’t open any of my photos. It doesn’t work at all

### 1/5 — Шахраї!

*2024-01-18, version 2.0.8*

Шахраї, які крадуть гроші і не скасовують підписку! Додаток взагалі не відповідає вищесказаному, дно!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-10-17, version 2.0.8*

Beware Of App , Turns Your Photos Into The Worst Art Ever

### 1/5 — App capabilities vs Money Hungry

*2023-07-04, version 2.0.8*

Not sure how well the app works because it traps you into selecting a memory clean up app every time you try to do something with the app. Even though you select the “Maybe Later” option.

Pity the developers feel like they have to drown you in advertising.

### 1/5 — App basura
