### 4/5 — 還不錯

*2020-05-13, version 1.4.1*

濾鏡套用很直覺，修改也很方便

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2019-07-13, version 1.4.1*

The app is great when it works. Turns photos into strange digitized garbled lines. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Wish

*2018-07-22, version 1.4.1*

Good effects/filters but wish it included frames/borders to finish the look, like Infinicam did. That was my all time fave app....

### 3/5 — Erros

*2018-07-02, version 1.4.1*

Eu amo este app. Mas esta dando muito erro.

### 4/5 — I love this app but.

*2018-04-26, version 1.4.1*

It has been messing up. I’ve been useing this app for a couple years now, and it’s been good but I pick a picture to edit and it glitches I guess. Black and weird colors pop up. Please fix this problem.

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2018-04-04, version 1.4.1*

Sometimes when I’m importing pictures to edit there is a glitch that shows photos as a rainbow glitchy pixel mess. It seems to happen more often than not. A fix for this would make it a lot better.

### 3/5 — Major glitch-won’t upload photos now

*2017-11-23, version 1.4.1*

Used this app for years and for the last month whenever I upload a photo it just shows rainbow pixels. Deleted and reloaded the app but still no improvement.

### 2/5 — good but..

please😥

### 5/5 — Simply the BEST

*2017-01-17, version 1.4.1*

This has been my go to photo editor for several years now.  Tried many others, but this is the one.  Love it.  I have a couple of custom preset filters (the standard in app filters adjusted to my personal taste) that I use on photos that don't have the best lighting conditions to start with.  Quick and easy to use for the most common corrections I need to make.  Great quality full resolution photos...thanks Nevercenter!

### 2/5 — IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED ASAP!

*2017-01-17, version 1.4.1*

CameraBag is one of my favorite desktop photo editing app for long time and now this mobile companion is a great addition to the desktop version. But now that I've used this for a few days on my iPhone 7, no matter how much I want to love it, I can't because the issues, bugs and shortcomings keep coming at me faster that I can count.. here are just 6 that asap need be addressed:

1) When importing high-res photos from my camera for editing, after I apply the corrections and filters and hit the DONE button to save the edits, it all ends there! The screen goes black with an endless "waiting" hourglass in the center even though the app is doing absolutely nothing more from that point. I will need to force close it and all edits are lost. And is pointless to try again because will crash later once more. Basically any photo higher than 8 or 12MP will crash this app. Right there alone, this app is dead on the water for me. But let's keep going..

2) The Circular Blur Function is only on the frame's dead center. Very bad! Users need to be able to choose the point on the picture where the blur starts. Only forcefully being on the center of the frame makes this function completely useless for 99% of the edits.

3) The editing sliders go from LEFT (0 strength) to the right (maximum). But actually they don't start at the left.. they start already about 1/2 inch on the GUI from to the right making it visually very confusing if a small change has been applied already or not. Sliders need be complete left (0) to complete right (maximum).

4) During editing, the preview frame cannot be zoomed in. This makes it impossible to look at details while applying an effect or correct and functions like Sharpening or adding Grain and completely useless unless they can be viewed zoomed it (or at least at 100%) to actually see what it looks like.

5) The effects level of the preview image while editing inside the app is higher than the actual final result of the edited saved photo. I don't know how quite to explain this........... let's say, when I open a picture in the photo gallery and share it to Fotograf for editing and, for example I apply Vignetting and Circular Blur, once the photo is saved and modified from the original, later when I view it in the photo gallery again, the level of Vignetting and Blur is much weaker than what was showing before when I was editing the photo inside Fotograf. This is extremely frustrating and I have to go back and forcefully do an over-edit again with extra vignette and blur to compensate for the less I will get after the photo gets saved.

6) The crop button function only shows up if a photo is imported from the app itself directly. If a picture is sent from another app or shared from the photo gallery, the crop button is gone and no where to be found. I mean, really?

Anyway, I can count over 20
other bugs I have found just trying things around but, let's leave it here. If these 6 issues can be addressed by the developers asap, later happily to update my review😊

### 1/5 — Problems by importing pictures

*2022-03-03, version 1.4.1*

Lots of issues by importing pictures, it happens 4 out of 5 to have a pixelled picture of some colourful cubes instead Of the picture I was importing. Paid $8 for an app that does not work.

### 1/5 — Quero meu dinheiro de volta!!!! Ou explicação disso e reparo !!!

*2018-04-29, version 1.4.1*

Dinheiro de volta !!! Ou reparo!!

### 1/5 — 亂碼

*2018-04-05, version 1.4.1*

圖片跑不出來！根本不能用啊

### 1/5 — Один ужас

*2018-02-06*

Загружаю фото в программу, а она искажается! Исправьте

### 1/5 — making me mad

*2017-12-10, version 1.4.1*

this app doesn’t always work my pics turn out blue and red it’s so annoying i hate it it’s only good when it works

### 1/5 — Love Taza?????? Still no pack😩

*2016-11-27, version 1.4.1*

where is the LOVE TAZA filter???? I can't find it that's my favorite set😞
5 stars until I have it back 😭

### 1/5 — Most beautiful photo app and filters

*2016-10-14, version 1.3.0*

I love this app for working with the built in photos app. It had better filters than any of the other 40+ photo apps I have. The only app that has comparable filters is vsco and it doesn't work with the built in photo app. This is my fav photo app. UPDATE: this no longer works when used as an extension. It crashes the photos app or is unable to save and instragram will not see its edits. There are also filter sets that I have purchased that I no longer have access to. When I complained about this, the company sent me very convoluted instructions that included plugging my phone into a computer and manually installing files. I have paid for these filters and have lost them. This app unfortunately hasn't been updated in 10 months 😕

### 1/5 — Awful.

*2016-07-26, version 1.3.0*

The app has some kind of bug, where it doesn't save my photos after clicking save. It freezes, then closes the app, losing all the photo edits I just made. After happening 3 times, I deleted and re-downloaded the app - same problem. I have yet to get one of my photos out of the app, and have wasted a lot of time!

### 1/5 — There are better apps on here

*2016-03-09, version 1.3.0*

Honestly this one just doesn't measure up and I'm not sure why this developer abandoned camerabag2.

### 1/5 — Unstable - Beta product

*2016-01-18, version 1.3.0*

So far I'm not impressed. The app icon got stuck darkened on my phone with "Waiting". I tried resetting phone and it don't fix it. Was forced to delete app and redownload to get it working again. Not a good start as I've only had the app for a day.

App endless freezes and had even locked up my phone. I've never had so many problems with an app on my iPhone 5S. As much as I like Nevercenter and Camerabag2, Fotograf is basically s beta product. Expect tons of issues using this app.

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2022-05-19, version 1.4.1*

Mit der App lassen sich Fotos relativ professionell bearbeiten. Ich habe die App über zehn Jahre auf dem iPhone, nutze sie aber erst seit einem Jahr. Für mich die beste Foto App.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-05-16, version 1.4.1*

One of my favourite apps 🤩

### 5/5 — App Store'daki En İyi Fotoğraf Uygulaması

*2021-04-28, version 1.4.1*

Fotoğraf kalitesini bozmadan ayar yapabilen nadir uygulamalardan biri. En önemli özelliği, diğer uygulamalarda olmayan yüksek renk derinliğiyle çalışmasıdır. Fotoğraflarda ışık ve renk düzenlemeleri yaptığınızda parlak ve koyu alanlardaki renk geçişlerini mükemmel ayarlıyor. Işık patlamıyor, gölgeler aşırı kararmıyor. Hazır filtreleri boş verin, fotoğraflara kendiniz daha güzel ayarlar yapabilirsiniz.

### 5/5 — Lo que necesitas, para salir del apuro.

*2020-07-08, version 1.4.1*

Me gusta porque es básica, te permite sacar provecho a tus fotos y realmente destacable sus funciones. Además de que no es invasiva al momento de usar su versión gratuita. Lo recomiendo.

### 5/5 — Excelente servicio

*2019-06-20, version 1.4.1*

Muy buena!

### 5/5 — Le joyau photo de l’App Store.

*2019-03-11, version 1.4.1*

Cette appli est juste inimaginablement bonne. La qualité des filtres et la finesse du rendu sont incroyables, et atomisent littéralement VSCO et le reste de la concurrence. Le feeling analogique (même sur les presets 
les plus subtils) est inégalé et ne verse jamais dans l’excès, et si vous importez des photos prises avec un appareil haut de gamme, le rendu et la finesse de la gradation des teintes atteignent des sommets.
On peut chipoter sur un ou deux petits détails ergonomiques mais pour moi ils empêcheraient juste d’atteindre la sixième étoile 😄 du grand art, chapeau bas aux développeurs !

### 5/5 — Update plz

*2018-11-29, version 1.4.1*

saving Problem when open Fotograp by apple photos option for ios 11.4.1 SE device

### 5/5 — Please update for iPhone X

*2018-09-08, version 1.4.1*

Please update to support iPhone X screen

### 5/5 — My go-to photo app

*2017-11-13, version 1.4.1*

Love the Universal app update. Fotograf is my go-to photo app; the filters are clean and make my images look better without looking over-processed. Crop/rotate is well-designed (including aspect ratio lock), fine-tuning adjustments to exposure, contrast, temp, etc is quick and easy, and the results are good. Note: exif data is fixed with v1.2.5.

### 5/5 — Buena

*2017-07-30, version 1.4.1*

Mi app favorita para editar fotos sin duda!
