### 2/5 — Basic/fair software

*2023-10-09*

I’m new to photography and found this software unintuitive, lacking any real value unless you make additional purchases and none really do what I would want to do.  Will look for a more robust and accepted software like photoshop.

### 2/5 — Video Modus

*2023-09-20*

In der Beschreibung steht Bearbeitung von Bildern und Videos. Den Videomodus kann ich nicht entdecken.

### 4/5 — Would upgrade... IF ...

*2020-09-07*

Would totally upgrade if there was an option to a) pick more than 1 color, and b) have more fine control over color selection.

### 2/5 — How much is unreal effect

*2020-06-20, version 2.0.4*

On the app it says but now $0.00 but that can’t be right

### 1/5 — これなら無料の方がまだ使える

*2020-05-03*

ズームもできなければ細かい設定も出来ない
久しぶりに無駄金使った。

### 1/5 — Seems to work but scam on money

*2020-04-11*

Flipboard and other sites list it as on sale for free this week but the moment you click on any of the features it says you have to pay.   I don’t mind paying for apps but not when they try to trick you into paying.  Very shady.  Dot purchas

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2020-04-11, version 2.0.3*

This app baits you into downloading it for free, but it does absolutely nothing without an upgrade purchase.

### 1/5 — an

*2020-02-16, version 2.0.2*

for nothing no work

### 4/5 — Depello

*2020-02-08*

Supereinfach selektive Farbe von Motiven wählen und restliches Bild auf Schwarzweiß blenden. 
Einfacher geht es nicht.

### 1/5 — Huh?

*2019-11-11, version 2.0.2*

Get the app for free! Yay!  Can’t change any color unless you pay $1.99! Aww!

### 1/5 — $$$ Scam. Meh

*2019-09-17, version 2.0.2*

To do what it describes you have to pay for something called “unreal mode” which is expensive for what it promises. But the free version failed any promise of functionality so I don’t trust to pay for more :(
I’m sticking with other native apps that don’t bs about free/$$$.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-08-23*

Just installed to check it out, however when you tap on the color wheel I get a up saying install previous purchase. Unable to pick any colors, shame it looks like it could have been a great app to keep

### 1/5 — 詐欺アプリ

*2025-03-05*

色変わらん！
なんの変化も無い

### 1/5 — Ich möchte mein Geld zurück!

*2024-05-03*

Funktioniert sehr schlecht obwohl ich auch die Pro-Version gekauft habe.
Manchmal erkennt das Programm die Farben nicht oder die Umrandung. Von 20 Versuchen ist nur ein Bild etwas geworden.

### 1/5 — Was anderes erwartet

*2024-01-30*

Ziel war es aus einem Bild die Augen * blau * zu lassen und den Rest in Schwarz/weiß 

Einfach nicht möglich- ingesamt verstehe ich die Funktion der App nicht.

### 1/5 — Extremadamente mal diseñada

*2023-03-22, version 2.2.0*

No me sirvió para lo único que se supone que hace y lo único que necesita hacer…

### 1/5 — Bitte nicht kaufen

*2022-02-09*

Fake!!! Funktioniert überhaupt nicht …2€ für die Tonne … nicht mal umsonst würd ich sie mir runterladen. Funktioniert wirklich nicht!!!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2021-01-23*

App funktioniert überhaupt nicht. Man muss das Objekt Millimetergenau markieren um es farblich hervorzuheben. Das ist nicht möglich. Schlechte App und Abzocke!

### 1/5 — Kostenlos? Nein, Lockvogelangebot!

*2021-01-21*

Leider eine Nullnummer, viel versprechen nichts halten! Eigentlich Wollte ich keinen Stern vergeben.

### 1/5 — Not free at all

*2021-01-21*

All the free version of this app does is removes colour. 
From then on everything else costs.
So unless you just want to remove colour from your pics leave this be.

### 1/5 — App does nothing

*2020-12-25, version 2.0.4*

Apart from colour draining, it’s useless

### 1/5 — 課金しなあかんのかよ

*2020-08-19*

課金しないと編集できません
なんなんこれ、有料かよ

### 5/5 — Rachael my review

*2024-07-25, version 2.2.0*

Omg i absolutely love this app so easy to use I am making amazing photos i wish i had found it sooner big thanks to the creator

### 5/5 — Tolle Ergebnisse mit der Feinjustierung

*2024-03-17*

Der Entwickler tut sich leider keinen Gefallen damit, dass er die notwendige Option für 99 Cent als inApp Kauf anbietet. Besser die App einen Euro teurer machen. Außerdem sind die Bilder in der Beschreibung nicht gut gewählt. Für ClipArt oder Silhouetten ist die App einfach unschlagbar gut. Und der Preis ist super fair. Also für Grafiker oder Designer, ist das ein super Tool um auf die Schnelle Grafiken farblich zu verändern. Für Fotos ist es auch nicht schlecht, aber schwieriger gewünschte Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Danke für die tolle App.

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin

*2023-12-06*

Simple but powerful and good at what it does

### 5/5 — Great color swap app

*2022-02-27*

I use this a lot in combination with other photo editing apps. It’s very easy to use and cool to be able to change the colors with the paid version.

It would be nice to have black and white added to the color editor.

### 5/5 — Nice touch for different pics

*2021-04-19*

I like the ability to use this app to add color to flowers on a black and white background.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2020-03-01*

I tried so many colour separation app and this is by far the easiest to use and it does exactly what I need. Just easy one tap to choose one colour and everything else is black and white.

### 5/5 — Free version works well

*2019-12-15*

I may upgrade because the free version worked flawlessly. It let me isolate 1 color, removed the rest from the image. Then let me save with no issue.

The result was perfect.

### 5/5 — Unusually simple UI just works

*2019-08-25*

Surprisingly perfect and intuitive and effective, single purpose and does it exactly right. Not only do you just touch the color to isolate, the slider let’s you instantly play with all the levels of color exclusions and pick what you like, and then just save it. Never crashes. Runs extremely fast- literally no lag at all. Kudos to the developer. Truly rare app.

### 5/5 — Best single colour app!

*2019-08-17*

Seriously. I have tried loads, this one out performed everyone

### 5/5 — تقييمي

*2019-07-18, version 2.0.1*

البرنامج ممتاز جداً  واشتريت كل ميزه داخله  ممتع جدا للابداع بالصور
