I used to use this app all the time for years but I’m nope thinking about deleting it once and for all. ### 4/5 — Recent update 7/14/26 *2026-07-15, version 3.02* Was looking forward to utilizing the update, noticed some touch to select UI issues when selecting source photos on not being able to access photo album folders for iPhone. Fix soon? ### 3/5 — I love this app; the GUI needs improvement *2026-06-09, version 3.01* When adding overlay images there should be a snap grid feature so you aren’t hand aligning photos via touch screen, there also appears to be a glitch where if you use the rotate button it locks the photo into vertical alignment. ### 5/5 — gucci glitch fr *2026-06-06, version 3.01* 👍🏾 ### 5/5 — adore glitch *2026-06-04, version 3.01* the most aesthetic thing i’ve ever used, don’t you stop doing this! ### 4/5 — Long time user *2026-05-29* I've seen this app go through many changes. Some good, some interesting to say the least. I got this app probably back in 2016 when every feature was free. It's sad to see that the developers have started to limit No more and more features overtime to substation based/paid features like most things in life. I've used this app to make art for years and will always have a soft spot for this app, but I don't want to pay a 45$ lifetime fee when I've been using it for 10+ years and am used to having access to all the features I love. Especially when some of the features are confusing and consistency in general are lacking. With all that being said I do love this app and there are plenty upsides to exploring it. **Developer response:** Thank you for sticking with Glitché for so many years. ❤️ If you were an early supporter, please email us at info@glitche.com and we'll restore access to your original purchase. We truly appreciate your support over the years. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-05-26, version 3.00* Best app for quick edits on important and non important things. Use it all the time. Love. ### 5/5 — money maker *2026-05-25, version 3.00* i’ve made over a million dollars using this app ### 3/5 — The slow decline *2026-05-20, version 3.00* Been a user since 2020. Never paid for the extra features and I won’t for a while because I just use it temporarily to make cover art for my music. It’s such a shame that slowly all the special effects are locked unless you pay. A few months ago I could still use grdnt preset and now I have to pay. Also all pictures have a giant watermark and now they’re pushing AI on the home screen. It keeps getting worse. ### 1/5 — Whats wrong with it *2026-05-13, version 2.98* everytime it show Enjoy the Glitché app it will stuck, touch will not respond; try many way to restart can’t fix. Very annoying. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Money money money *2026-08-15, version 3.03* It’s greed sickens me ### 1/5 — They will renege! *2026-08-10, version 3.03* I’ve had the full license to this app for years, and I open it to find that most of the features I PAID FOR have been removed. They also don’t answer the support email, I contacted them May 12th, 2026, and they still haven’t replied. ### 1/5 — Not restoring purchase *2026-08-05, version 3.02* I’ve had this app so long that I actually paid for full access many years ago before subscriptions were ever a thing, even used this app on my iPad a year or so ago, and finally able to add to my phone and it’s not letting me restore my initial purchase and get access back to my most used effects. I’ve had many edits over the years I’m not sure why it’s not working especially since I paid for it so long ago and had previous access. *emailed developers but still No response. Will happily update rating if this gets resolved. I’m really hoping so, I miss this app. Unusable for me until it’s fixed unfortunately ### 1/5 — Don’t purchase *2026-07-22, version 3.02* Bought into it back in August of 2015; it’s 2026 and they dont honor purchases I’ve previously made. O dont expect new additions to be made free but I expect the functionality i paid for to still be accessible. ### 1/5 — ARE YOU SERIOUS??? *2026-07-17, version 3.02* So i download this app for the first time in years, and i CANT DATAMOSH WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION? WHATS THE POINT OF THE APP IF I CANT USE THE DATAMOSHING??? ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-07-13, version 3.02* Removes features after you’ve already paid for them. ### 1/5 — Раньше было лучше *2026-07-05, version 3.01* Круто вы конечно придумали ### 1/5 — They really improved it for good reviews then sold out again *2026-06-26, version 3.01* They did not response or restore my legacy access after emailing them either, so they do not honor their promises ### 1/5 — they made it pay 2 use *2026-05-21, version 3.00* genuinely disappointed, pretty sure when i got this app i had to pay to download it YEARS AGO YEARSSSSS AGO. and now they just made pretty much all the features pay to use. i’ve never left a review literally ever, but ive been using this app for so long & now u want me to pay? never using this ish again ill just pay for a better app lol. ### 1/5 — More and more paywalls… *2026-05-15, version 3.00* Have used this app religiously for probably a decade now.. back when years and years ago, I had purchased the full version of the app - only for the glitche team to offer different kind of paywall. My full version was still working fine, until they started updating it more and more. Slowly, more and more features became locked behind the consistent paywall. Features that I have rightfully paid for years ago have been stripped. I cannot fully enjoy the app without paying again, which I do not want to do. This has caused me to stop using the app as much, and not recommend it to anyone. Bad business practice is when developers or teams can slowly take away access over time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update: email support if you purchased before the pandemic *2026-08-24, version 3.03* Saw the creator response to my original review;Provided my conformation of purchase via my apps and had my full access reinstated. I appreciated the prompt and personal response to my issue; genuinely surprised by how thoughtful they were. ### 5/5 — Great glitching app *2026-08-20, version 3.03* Only downfall is the fees. I’ve been paying for it for years and wish I’d have bought the lifetime subscription when it was available. ### 5/5 — Update: Creator restored purchase! *2026-08-13, version 3.03* I bought this app back in 2017 and had issues with restoring that purchase. Was unable to use the app. I emailed support and they happily restored my purchase! So excited to be able to create with this app again! Thank you Glitchè! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-08, version 3.03* This photo/video editing app is the most versatile, slick, weird, awesome thing you can get on a smartphone. ### 5/5 — Upset *2026-08-05, version 3.02* I purchased this app all the way back in 2015. I used this app for years & recently redownloaded it to get back into photo editing & everything I used to use is locked down through paywalls. As someone who was an early supporter over 11 years ago & purchased the app, I feel I deserve better. ### 5/5 — Must have for creatives *2026-07-21, version 3.02* i’ve been using this app since 2014 and it’s honestly been a game changer for the art that I make what takes so much resource and skill is so easily done in this app and it really allows you to explore some different techniques and styles which have really elevated some of my work I highly recommend checking it out and trying out all of that offers ### 5/5 — Langlebende App *2026-07-20* Nach Jahren (Kauf2013) bekomme ich immer noch Unterstützung vom Founder der App. Sie ist funktional und ein herrliches Kreativwerkzeug. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung seit 2013! ❤️ Es freut mich sehr, dass Glitché dich all die Jahre begleitet hat. Vielen Dank für deine netten Worte und weiterhin ganz viel Freude beim Kreativsein! — Vladimir ### 5/5 — Great, if you pay *2026-07-04, version 3.01* TURN AUTO UPDATES OFF. Each new update removes more free features. ### 5/5 — ⭐️ *2026-06-17, version 3.01* improved & strong glitch effects. layer & glitch again. solid support as well. ### 5/5 — Memory leak? *2026-06-08, version 3.01* Seems like there is currently a memory leak affecting the dither effect. When rendering a video with certain dither settings the progress bar freezes, the app crashes, then my iPhone restarts automatically. I have tried repeatedly and the result is the same. It seems to be related to the scale being on the second smallest setting and/or the tones being to option 2 or 3 (closer to the bottom of the slider) Otherwise the app is great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
