I have been unable to save or share photos. During the last few months it freezes up every time I try to save or share my edited photos. It is incredibly frustrating! ### 4/5 — Favor *2019-03-24* Please support Japanese! ### 4/5 — Use camera *2019-03-16* Il manque juste camera sinon l'application est fun!!! ### 4/5 — Lots of variety *2017-09-29* As a photographer I like having plenty of variety in filters, especially ### 3/5 — Ótimos filtros, mas ruim para edição e visualização. *2016-06-18* O App é muito bom! Tem bastante filtros e tudo mais, porém quando vai editar a imagem(brilho, contraste, etc) fica como se fosse um borrão preto em cima e em baixo da foto. Quando coloca o filtro, você só consegue ver na pré visualização, ou seja, quando vai aplicar, pois depois volta para a tela de visualização da imagem (tela principal) continua com esses borrões e não dá para ver a imagem como realmente está. Enfim, os filtros são bons, mas ruim para edição e visualização de fotos. Acho que deveriam arrumar isso. ### 3/5 — Why is it so dark?? *2016-05-25, version 3.0.1* This app is fine except for the fact that whatever photo you import it automatically darkens it. So when you apply a filter you don't really know what it will look like until you save it. I don't get why that is. It makes no sense. ### 3/5 — Great app, baffling design flaws *2016-05-08* Overall, the app is a quick and easy way to turn an ok photo into a great photo. But the editing window darkens the top and bottom for no apparent reason, making it hard to see what you're doing. The adjustment sliders also reset once you make your selection. So if you add some shine, then boost color and decide you have too much shine, you can't go back and take some out. You can only add more. ### 3/5 — Great except... *2016-04-16, version 3.0.1* What is with the default drop shadow overlaying the imported photo? It really throws off the editing process to have it there while you're editing. Can we get that removed in the next update? ### 3/5 — ••• iOS 8.3.1 updated to Filters version 3. *2016-04-12* Running iOS 8.3.1. App updated to Filters version 3. Apparently not able to update to the proper, bug-fixed version 3.0.1 update of the app now, because 3.0.1 requires iOS 9. Others in the same boat! Dear developer, please remember, if you haven’t already, to appropriately remove the previous version 3 from the store if you don’t think folks on versions of iOS before iOS 9 ought to be downloading and running it, either after initial purchase, or upon _re-install._ Thanks much! ; ) ### 5/5 — My favorite filter app :) *2016-04-05* Simple and fun to use ### 3/5 — Buggy release *2016-04-02, version 3* Problems with using the app as an extension (e.g. the app doesn't account for the Photos app's chrome) and in its regular mode. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2016-04-01, version 3* Been waiting for editing extension, THANK YOU! ### 5/5 — Great update but... *2016-04-01, version 3* For some reason when using the new photos extension the picture flips upside down while you're applying filters to it! 😜😳 iOS 9.3 on iPhone 6S+ ### 4/5 — Seems like a joke *2016-03-17* Поддержу разработчиков, но приложение выглядет как шутка. 800 фильтров?) можно было сделать просто один фильтр, который каждый раз делает что-то рандомно:) ### 5/5 — 很喜欢，但和刚上架比涨价了 *2016-02-04* 支持一个 ### 4/5 — Hours of Entertainment *2015-12-25* I use Filters to enhance pictures as well as to create an entirely new canvas to be used in other creative projects. I love the huge assortment offered and the favorites option helps save time with future projects. Great app for the price. 4-stars due to some crashing issues (don't let that stop you from buying the app, just save each layer to your camera roll as you work). ### 3/5 — Need photos extension support *2015-10-15, version 2* Please add Extensions support, the app is so awesome, however the work flow is a bit cumbersome. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Freezes when sending or saving. I wasted $. *2020-07-08* App is ok unless one wants to send or save the photo by text, mail or to the Camera Roll. At this point the app freezes. I had to open another photo app then return to filters to adjust a photo again. What good is the app if after adding a filter one is unable to use the photo? ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-05-06* REVIEW 2:: OKAY I PURCHASED THIS APP 2 Months ago I STILL CAN NOT USE IT BECAUSE THE ENTIRE TIP OF THE SCREEN IS DARK AND COMPLETELY BLACKS OUT WHATEVER PHOTO I USE. WILL YOU PLEASE PLEASE FIX THE APP SO I AM ABLE TO USE THE APP I PURCHASED !!!!!!!!! ALSO SO YOU KNOW I HAVE PURCHASED 2 OF YOUR OTHER PAID APPS AS WELL! REVIEW 1::It might be halfway decent if the top half of the screen was like a black screen I can only see the bottom half of the picture I should have listened to the other user who had the same issue a while ago but I thought since I am running the most up to date ios9.3 I phone 6s I may not have that issue and or I figured since there were known issues of this with others that within the year of it being brought up the developer would have fixed it by now . So disappointed with the photo editors I have purchased lately none of them seem to be what they are supposed and the reviews are very misguiding Honestly the photo editors I have that are free are much better , Yes there are lots of filters but if you pay close attention to each package they all look the SAME ! You could change the contrast and saturation yourself and do a better job with the editor that comes with the phone . So very disappointed . I'll stick with Pixlr and Filtera Much much better and higher quality Waste of money .... ### 1/5 — Bah *2016-04-01, version 3* Deberían quitar el viñeta que tiene la app para que se pueda ver bien la edición de las fotos ### 1/5 — 800 to many!!! *2015-09-26* This app is like going to a restaurant and trying to work out what to eat from a 10 page menu all in fine print... Way to many and too small! Save time, money and disappointment!! I Love their Camera+ app... Spend up on that app instead. Easier and more effective than this. Sorry guys... Very disappointing! :( ### 1/5 — Péssimo *2015-09-26* Não tem nada de novo. Os filtros nativos do camera+ fazem o mesmo efeito que isso ai. Piada. ### 1/5 — Not yet ready *2015-04-12, version 1.0* Decent app but unusable output resolution with really bad compression ### 1/5 — --- DO NOT USE --- Removes all your metadata *2015-04-12, version 1.0* Images modified with this app are saved with NO metadata, not even the date/time the photo was taken or the GPS location. Any data your photo had is stripped off before saving. ### 1/5 — 很鸡肋的app *2015-04-08* 功能很鸡肋，效果还不如柚子或者美图，不知道是我不懂操作还是要怪操作不够人性化，总之觉得，钱花的冤枉，那么多好评是刷的？ ### 1/5 — Does not take advantage of the edit-in-photos feature *2015-04-06, version 1.0* There are ways to apply filters with third party apps directly in the photo app under the edit option. I assumed this app would utilize this... Poor assumption. I have enough other apps with great filters. All I wanted was one that took advantage of this iOS feature. ### 1/5 — No iOS 8 photo editing integration *2015-03-28, version 1.0* I just assumed that you would be able to take a photo with the built-in camera out of other apps. But this feature was not implemented. It's surprising how many free apps to this, and I just paid for yet another brand new app that doesn't. I can't basically make any practical use of it. Disappointing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-07-16* This is a wonderful app with a very large amount of filters and easy to edit! More people should know about this app! ADVERTISE!!! High recommend!!!!! My go to for a vintage look!!! ### 5/5 — 滤镜很多 *2017-01-10* 很良心 ### 5/5 — No Brainer *2016-12-28* I saw this in the sale section of the App Store featuring and figured why not. I've been wanting more options for my pics without having to open photoshop. I was instantly happy with the overwhelming assortment of editable effects. And it's only 1$. You really can't go wrong. Great app, thanks to the developers. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-12-27* I love this app. It's easy to manage, you get a large amount of filters, manual adjustments and easy to use. ### 5/5 — The only Filter app you ever need *2016-10-18* There's a lot of filters option in this app. I especially love the vintage filters ones. Another thing I love about this app is that it does not remove the metadata (i.e. time, location etc) associated with the photo, which is a HUGE plus for me. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-09-07* Great app ### 5/5 — 5⭐️ just for those release notes *2016-04-08, version 3.0.1* I loved the app already but those accidental release notes were gold 😊 ### 5/5 — Excellent. *2016-04-08, version 3* Just get it. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2016-04-07, version 3.0.1* The overlays/filters are great, I've been impressed with my results. Tap Tap Tap's apps are consistently excellent. ### 5/5 — Hilarious Update Note *2016-04-07, version 3* Yeah, that. And amazing inversion (radioactive orange for example) filters too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
