And no lens flare despite the title, just light leak. ### 3/5 — Suddenly stopped working *2015-10-11, version 1.0.2* Have been using Flare Effects this last week with no problems. Went to use it last night on my iPhone 6 (running iOS9) and it lets you make all the amendments you want but not save them. You click done and get the processing wheel of doom until you finally give up. Makes the whole thing pointless. The support site doesn't appear to have been updated since 2014. ### 3/5 — Black screen *2015-08-04, version 1.0.2* Latest update sometimes go to a black screen when using. Do not know how to get it unstuck except waiting a long time. ### 1/5 — Congratulations, doesn't work *2015-03-22, version 1.0.1* iOS 8.2 and it doesn't work. Need anything else be said, except... DELETE. Great work ### 1/5 — Stuck *2015-03-07, version 1.0.1* No idea how to get past the intro screen. Deleting. ### 1/5 — In app purchase *2015-03-07, version 1.0.1* None of the content available, you have to buy it for $15. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-01-28, version 1.0.1* These are some really high quality photo processing filters- especially the film replica ones. Nice work, Iconfactory! ### 1/5 — As with others can't get it to work *2015-01-12, version 1.0.1* Can't get passed intro page, and don't see the extension in my camera roll. Just deleted it. ### 4/5 — Cool! *2014-12-29, version 1.0.1* This is a great free extension for the iOS native photo editor, presenting nice image effects. However, it'd be great if the app showed the option to Save As upon finishing edition, instead of replacing the original picture right away. Additionally, the unnecessary app icon should be hidden from the home screen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time on this app *2018-09-09, version 1.0.2* It does not work! ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2018-07-08, version 1.0.2* Would love to use this app but won’t even get past the first few “instructional pages” just stops there! What the heck!?!?! ### 1/5 — Не фурычит 5SE *2018-05-06, version 1.0.2* Скачать дали возможность , а вот программой пользоваться нету возможности, так как нет входа в программу . ### 1/5 — Can’t review it if I can’t even access it *2017-12-01, version 1.0.2* —Open app —Read obvious instructions —Try to follow obvious instructions, but there instructions do not tell you what the hell to do when then aren’t any freaking icons to allow you to access photos. —Best of all, the support page is dead. Probably a case of completely irresponsible programmer or whatever growing bored with the app and abandoning it...without the courtesy of letting you know (but still accepting money for their worthless app). ### 1/5 — not actually an app *2017-10-12, version 1.0.2* it is an advertisement that does nothing at all. no actual functionality. nothing. waste of time and bits ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2017-03-13, version 1.0.2* Just an instruction page with dead help links - uninstalled ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2016-12-01, version 1.0.2* This app is big disappointment because it shows introductory help pages to swipe but doesn't let you to take to the appropriate functions for which it is advertising on App Store. This app should be banned because it is a spam ### 1/5 — Not working correctly *2016-10-16, version 1.0.2* I am using iOS 10 and the program doesn't start. They show only the explanation page in the beginning. ### 1/5 — Wished I could rate 0 *2016-03-22, version 1.0.2* This app seemed interestin as much. After download, it was stuck on the first few screens. What a waist of time and space. DELETE!! ### 1/5 — Not working *2015-11-28, version 1.0.2* Can only swipe screen for info and then stuck. Can't get camera or camera roll menu. Nothing. It looked great. Deleting ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for quick effects. *2021-02-01, version 1.0.2* I use this for giving a consistent look to my postings on Instagram. thanks for another great app. It always seems to just work ### 5/5 — Some great filters *2020-12-06, version 1.0.2* It’s got some great effects which turn an okay picture into something special. It does well with colour and I like the stylised borders on some of the effects. Certainly worth a try. No complaints. ### 5/5 — Works Perfectly *2020-07-13, version 1.0.2* Works just fine if you, shocking I know, follow the instructions when you launch the app. Seriously, save yourself some frustration and the time it took you to write a negative review and just follow the instructions (wow, following the instructions, what a crazy idea). ### 5/5 — Отличное расширение ! *2019-05-16, version 1.0.2* Это расширение а не программа! Не надо путать ! Очень здорово. Все нравится. ### 5/5 — What you see is what you get *2018-04-18, version 1.0.2* Easy to use, great effects. Won‘t miss this app! ### 5/5 — Genial *2017-01-06, version 1.0.2* Nur ein, zwei Klicks und schon hat man eine nette und deutliche Verbesserung. Super einfach und eindrucksvolle Ergebnisse!!! ### 5/5 — read the instructions people! *2016-12-19, version 1.0.2* i was surprised that more people didnt enjoy this app then i realized that they weren't using it correctly. read the directions, you dont use the app, its like an add on you use outside of the app.it hard to explain thats why you need to read the directions. ### 5/5 — Gradevole e comodo *2016-07-18, version 1.0.2* Ottima per chi vuole ottenere effetti gradevoli senza lasciare Foto. Le opzioni sono più che decorose e l'interfaccia è semplice. Se servono strumenti più potenti non fa per voi, ma il punto dell'app è proprio quello di essere semplice e molto veloce da usare. ### 5/5 — Ua *2015-11-12, version 1.0.2* Best 👍🏼👍🏿 ### 5/5 — 👍 *2015-02-07, version 1.0.1* Eine super App! Es sollte mehr davon geben. Klasse das diese App in iPhoto genutzt werden kann! Einfach klasse! Weiter so und bitte mehr Apps mit iPhoto Integration! 👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
