### 4/5 — Good, but improvements!!!

*2018-02-05, version 1.1*

The layout is good and it gives quite a few options, but the glitch effects aren't animated and you can't make gifs or videos. It'd be great if you could have frames or a cool moving glitch effect since that was why I got this app in the first place.

### 4/5 — I love finding gems like these

*2017-12-18*

Not only do I like the style of everything in this (it reminds of the old Windows and Mario). I like the music too, makes me feel like I’m playing a game of some sort.

### 3/5 — Good...but I don't like it.

*2016-10-25, version 1.1*

This app is a good app, just to put it out there- but it's not the greatest app for this purpose of glitching.
First of all, the app just is unprofessional. The sounds are childish and puts me off (if you have the app you'll see what I'm on about.)
Secondly, you can't edit parts of the photo you want to edit- which personally I think would be cool to add into the app to make it better. 
Lastly, I personally think there are very limited options. It's to be expected as it is free but I think there could be more.

So if you're new to editing photos and want something to start off glitch work- use this. It is very simple. If not- don't use this as there isn't enough options.

### 4/5 — Хорошо

*2015-10-21, version 1.1*

Есть хороший эффект кассетного качества
Надоедают постоянные подсказки каждый раз

### 2/5 — 🆘🆘🆘

*2015-05-11, version 1.1*

The application doesn't interfere with the Russian language ((

### 4/5 — So cool!!

*2015-04-19*

Love this app!! I would like to get more control though on the effects

### 2/5 — Great glitches but lots of hitches

*2015-03-08*

Its an okay app.
It's cool for simple glitching when you just want to experiment, but for someone who wants to do something more artistic, I want more control over it. 
I want to be able to control exactly what happens to it.
I want to have more diverse glitching options than what we already have. 
   Give us the ability to draw out a boundary and glitch the photo only within that area and leave the rest intact, so we can glitch only a specific section right in the middle that doesn't touch the boundaries. 
   I want to be able to control how much information is destroyed to get the precise effect I want, possibly achieved by a slider bar that moves the destruction over by small data increments. 
   I want to be able to select a cutoff point for where the glitch effect doesn't affect anything past it so I can control how much of the picture gets glitched. 
   I want the paint tool to only effect where I draw on the picture, and what color effects it does to the picture. 
   And finally, I want to be able to keep the original dimensions of the picture. The square confines are just annoying.

I have several more complaints:
1: confusing layout. The option i will actually use are hidden within an options bar within an options bar. The icons used to represent each function are sometimes misleading. 
2: app doesn't auto save your progress if you switch apps. Fix it. 
3: photo blending: what is this thing? It is very confusing, and I've launched a full out assault on that function just to try to figure out how it works. It seems very cool from the animation shown in the tutorial, however the actual function of the tool seems to be much more complicated than what the animation shows, and it's really hard to understand what on earth I'm doing. 
4: I can't tell the difference from the box insert, box overwrite, clear data, and delete data functions. How on earth do these differ from each other? PLEASE give this app a REAL tutorial with words!
5: Please redesign the app. The 8-bit style is cute, but annoying. The layout is baffling and should be reorganized.

### 3/5 — JPEG glitch? I don't see JPEG stuff

*2015-02-18, version 1.0.7*

This app does not have these weird lines when you glitch the image. There is only one image of your app that shows JPEG lines in it. That's the one about the photo blending. If your people don't see it you need to look up.  What I mean about look up is look at the image of the upper end. Whenever I glitch my image I never see it's all you see is the thing that appears when you glitch and image too much.either it's the size or its hue. I don't I don't know but I think this is pathetic of its fake glitch. If you see a real glitch with the black thing anti tagging in the App Store and download that take a picture of yourself and you'll see's all that crap. I hope you all did this very soon so we can see these JPEG lines and others.

### 4/5 — 3D

*2015-01-05, version 1.0.7*

Как сделать 3D эффект?

### 1/5 — Bad

*2014-10-19, version 1.0.6*

Every Time I try to glitch my picture half of it turns black.

### 2/5 — It was awesome

*2014-10-17, version 1.0.6*

But now don't glitch but turns black the picture.

### 2/5 — black screen no glitch

*2014-10-04, version 1.0.6*

Ios8 and now it just blacks out the picture instead of making the glitch. No bueno.

### 3/5 — Whatever.

*2014-10-03*

When I first downloaded this app, it was the best ever. Now , when I try to edit a picture, it just cuts off like a half the picture and the rest is black. And the music and clicks are so aggervating!

### 1/5 — Freezing and freezing

*2021-04-29*

Is this “ Freezing” app?

### 1/5 — Beyond useless

*2021-01-21*

I played with it for awhile & found nothing useful about it. No meaningful tutorials on social media for it. Nothing within the app itself that gave me any useful hints as regards using it. Nothing intuitive about using it. Only distorted images beyond recognition rendering them visually unappealing. Most useful feature was the undo button. 
Worth exactly what I paid for it at least - nothing.

### 1/5 — Needs update.

*2020-11-25, version 1.1*

Used to use this on my Android and thought hey, I’ll download it on my iPhone. This app is lacking. It hasn’t been updated in 5 years. It’s garbage.

### 1/5 — Totally unacceptable

*2020-11-03, version 1.1*

What on earth was the developer thinking by blasting sound effects and a rapidly flashing GUI, without warning?

I have immediately uninstalled this.

### 1/5 — невыносимо

*2019-10-30, version 1.1*

почему так сложно выключить эту конченную музыку и омерзительные звуки при нажатиях?где эта чертова кнопка?

### 1/5 — THANKS A LOT GLITCH LAB

*2016-01-22*

You're a waste of on the internet

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2015-04-25, version 1.1*

Qualidade péssima

### 1/5 — Meh

*2015-01-09, version 1.0.7*

It's an ok app, but honestly there is nothing special about it. It doesn't have a lot of features and the design is kind of old-fashioned but not cool old-fashioned. Do not recommend

### 1/5 — If you're new to GL, you missed out

*2014-11-04, version 1.0.6*

This is a paid app and it's mostly useless now with the recent IOS updates. Please fix your stuff. I loved this app, too...

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2014-11-04, version 1.0.6*

I cant make the glitch go the way i want it to, and everytime i make it glitch, te color of the picture changes

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2016-10-22*

This app is amazing,needs higher ratings :))).
Also for some suggestions...
Maybe to have more options for the glitch effects and to be able to write text in the image?

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-07-05, version 1.1*

This is a really good game.I like the way you can glitch photos.Just one suggestion.Please update so that you can load videos and pause them at a certain point so you can glitch that part of the videos.That would make it even more fun
😎

### 5/5 — Nice

### 5/5 — New Masks are GREAT!!!

*2015-03-08*

Masks were my favorite part. Love the new ones. Worth the pennies

### 5/5 — لاختلافنا

*2014-11-04, version 1.0.6*

Сидел я значит залипал под  Sumer of haze и размешивал сахар. И тут меня осенило, надо бахать гличевые фото, я соскочил со стула, метнулся в маркет, скачал глич лаб, в раз стал модным и по вичухе, но все началось не сразу, меня начала крыть музычка в интерфейсе. Восьмибитная можно, сказать легкий чиптюн. Я решил залить туда свое го___фото. Сначала я начал вглядываться и увидел необыкновенного воробушка, греческого дядьку и.т.д Вспомнил свой плейлист, небо, алаха и осенило, надо прекращать маяться х____й и поставить еще раз чайник. И пытался с помощью него составить трифорс. Но увы первый треугольник был всё равно слева. Приложение изменило меня.

### 5/5 — Kool

*2014-09-28, version 1.0.6*
