### 1/5 — Can’t use unless you sign up for the free trial

*2026-08-23, version 26.26*

Not usable unless you sign up for the trial for 7 days and then inevitably forget about it for it to charge you almost 100 dollars a year for a subscription.

### 4/5 — Could be better

*2026-08-23, version 26.26*

The only thing that low key pisses me off about this app is that it ALWAYS darkens my photos. What’s the point of being able to enhance, edit and photoshop if the app automatically darkens the images. I pay $60 a year for a subscription to edit my photos only for it to darken it from the original photos. Make it make sense. Even with trying to edit it back on apple edits I still can never bring the colors back to the original photo.

### 1/5 — Scan

*2026-08-23, version 26.26*

I purchased basic FaceTune in 2020, however now that they are doing subscription service I have fully lost my access to the apps benefits I was under the impression I bought the rights to utilize. I think it’s incredibly scammy that they did not grandfather in app “owners” you basically sold me an app and then years later took away my rights on the app and is now trying to rent it back to me. The free version is extremely limited and comes with a watermark… I think this is a great example of how we are sold an illusion of ownership

### 1/5 — Weird.

*2026-08-23, version 26.25*

Super mad charged $15 for 30 min of use to realize it just makes you look edited and cartoon like. Tried to get a refund and couldn’t. 
Extremely annoyed with this dumb app

### 1/5 — Do not download this

*2026-08-23, version 26.25*

I used the free trial and then even though I cancelled it, a charge still appeared on my credit card not via Apple. I find this highly unscrupulous and many other users are reporting the same issue. Do not download this app.

### 5/5 — Dope

*2026-08-23, version 26.25*

Dope

### 1/5 — Why so much

*2026-08-23, version 26.25*

Used to be a dedicated user till they changed it to $11.99 weekly, what happened to 12 monthly? I just find it crazy. Guess I will have to find a different app.

### 5/5 — The absolutely love this App 🥰

*2026-08-22, version 26.25*

Facetune is one of my favorite photo editing apps! It’s easy to use, has so many great features, and the results look beautiful and natural. I especially love how quickly I can enhance my photos and videos without making them look over-edited. Definitely worth five stars!

### 1/5 — You’re not going to force me

*2026-08-22, version 26.25*

To get a free trial loser there’s so many apps lol

### 1/5 — misleading

*2026-08-22, version 26.25*

the app is stuck behind a paywall. now there’s a watermark on your image too. it was so good in the past. now it’s just trying to strip you of your money for a bad edit job.
