### 3/5 — Nice filters, needs update to fix bug

*2025-07-20*

Well, I have to say I love everything about this app and all of the filters that offers with a one time payment, I do think it could use some user interface updates that would make it easier and more efficient when used. The real main problem is the fact that there is no save button once you found the filter you want to apply to your photo. You’re able to change the intensity of the film effect and filter, but once you do that and click the check button, all it does is save the settings that you chose and bring you back to the main filter tab that you were in. It takes a lot of random clicking on the bottom of the photo in order to have the image saved to camera roll. So while I love the artistic aspect of this app, I think the developer should go back and create an easier way to save the photos . For now, it is a major headache. If it weren’t for this, I would give it 5 stars

**Developer response:** Hello chlur,
After extensive testing, we have confirmed that this issue has been resolved.
Please try using the app again and let us know if the issue persists.
Thank you.

### 4/5 — Save Button works (but is invisible)

*2025-05-24*

This is a great no-nonsense film camera app. One of the best ones I've come across! But strangely, I noticed that the "Save button" is invisible. The invisible button is on the bottom right of each pic (besides the filter edit toggle) Although the pic gets saved in the phone once you click on that area where the button is placed, it's quite a silly technical bug. I urge the developer to fix this bug at the earliest. I would've rated the app 5 stars otherwise.

### 3/5 — Favorite film effect app! But has been glitching lately.

*2024-08-01*

I think this is the best film camera app on the app store. I don’t usually write reviews but I’m doing so in hopes of getting attention from the developer 🥹 The app has been glitchy lately. The biggest issue is that it’s not giving an accurate “Film Effect” preview when you use the slider. I’m hoping it can be fixed soon!

### 5/5 — Better than any other film effects I’ve tried so far

*2026-06-19, version 3.0*

I admit that I am getting pretty tired of countless similar apps that require an in app purchase to either unlock additional content, remove ads and/or watermarks, or lure me into a subscription where I can have full functionality for only a month, so when I found Filmlike and its one-time payment of just $0.99, I rejoiced. 

But this isn’t the first app I bought from this awesome developer; it started with his photo date stamp that quite convincingly emulates the classic date stamp fonts that have been available in higher-end 35mm cameras made since 1985. The Filmlike City series was the first bundle I’d ever bought on the App Store, and the four city-based filter collections definitely do not disappoint me. And so, the original Filmlike app was a great way to complete my collection of 35mm filters. I’m very pleased with the overall ease of use for all six apps in the Filmlike series.

10/10 is my final score. 👍

Update 6/19/2026: With the recent addition of video recording support, Filmlike just got a lot more useful for me. Thank you so much for this wonderful addition! 😁

### 5/5 — 잘 쓰고 있었는데 ㅠㅠ

*2023-11-07*

최근 업뎃 이후부터 오토세이브 모드 촬영 버튼만 누르면 앱이 강제 종료 되네요 ㅠㅠㅠ 앱 업뎃도 했고 ios버전이 낮아서 그런가 싶어서 버전 업뎃도 했는데도 강종 되네요ㅠㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — 색감이 너무 좋아요 화질 저하는 아쉬워요

*2023-11-06*

근 몇년 간 받은 어플 중에 만족감 탑3 안에 들 정도로 마음에 드는 어플입니다. 원하는 색감을 선택해 보정할 수도 있고 바로 찍을 수도 있어 좋습니다.
그런데 요근래 화질저하를 심하게 느끼고 있습니다. 필름효과를 위해서 약간의 저하가 있을 수는 있다고 생각하지만 노이즈가 있어도 예전에는 이렇게 화질저하가 되거나 디테일이 뭉개지는 느낌이 없었는데 요새 유독 느끼고 있습니다. 그래서 어플 사용 빈도가 줄어들고 다시 필름카메라를 그냥 써야하나 싶기도 합니다..
개선될 수 있는 사항이라면 이 부분만 해결되면 좋겠습니다... ㅠㅠ 나머지는 너무 좋아요!

### 5/5 — 좋아요 그런데 •••
