### 4/5 — wish there were more free options

*2025-09-23*

i ADORE this creator. she really knows how to turn basic photos into art. i used to purchase her preset packages. the app is pretty cool and makes navigating photo editing especially if you’re a beginner.

my only critique would be having more free options, the options offered are nice and worth having the app, but i wish we got more stuff “premium people” got like some grit options, grain (the reason i love her filters) and maybe a dark room or two. i would do the subscription but its hard to justify because i just post silly things on instagram and stories once or twice a month. 

completely understand its A LOT of work to do what her and her team do, but hopefully in the future we can get a little more options. keep up the good work ash and team. i do love what you do and create 🩶

### 5/5 — SO DANG COOL

*2025-03-24*

This app is really well designed and easy to use. I love the new copy & paste feature and can’t wait to see what’s to come. Super simple with everything I want for social posts!

### 5/5 — Love!

*2025-02-26, version 1.19.1*

I use to use ash’s presets in Lightroom. Her Trashy app is super user friendly and I love it! My favorite features are Blur and Grain.

### 5/5 — Underrated !!!✨✨✨

*2025-01-29*

I’ve been a long time follower of Ashley and her aesthetic. This app is a dream come true ! So much love and attention to detail in every aspect of this app. My socials look amazing thanks to this. Keep up the amazing work ✨

### 5/5 — Lightroom has competition.

*2024-12-23*

I can only describe the Trashy app as cool girl Lightroom. If you’ve been using Lightroom, VSCO, Instagram, or even the photos app that came with your phone for filters or basic edits, I recommend giving Trashy a try. I’m not very good at creative edits, and I was still able to get some pretty cool results without needing a 10 minute tutorial. 

My absolute favorite feature is Blur. I’ve been looking for a way to recreate soft, dreamy pics without needing to smear Vaseline all over my camera lenses, and “Lip Gloss” made my wishes come true. 

My only suggestion is a trash bin or recently deleted folder. The save and delete buttons are right next to each other, which has caused me to accidentally delete my hard work more than once.

### 5/5 — Most aesthetic app ever!

*2024-11-16*

Been following ash for sometime and would always buy her presets. Love that she created an app just for us to become that it girl and find our aesthetic! I love the lay out of the how the photos are shown and the different variety of filters. It allows me to create a good mood scheme for my Instagram .

### 4/5 — Love it but most of the app requires a subscription.

*2024-11-07*

Everything is basically in the title. I love the app and I use it to adjust my settings but none of the free presets are great and the others are super cool, you can try them but they all require a subscription.

### 5/5 — Loveee

*2024-10-10*

My favorite app ever! I have so much fun editing my photos and videos using TRASHY. Ash and Zach are killing it <3 just when I think it can’t get any better, they come out with an amazing update! The premium features are 100% worth it.

### 5/5 — It’s awesome

*2024-09-01, version 1.6.1*

Great app!

### 5/5 — coolest photo editing app

*2024-08-01, version 1.4.0*

trashy has replaced all my other editing apps. not only does it make your photos look cool, the app itself looks cool. i am obsessed!
