The filters are really beautiful ### 2/5 — No “no filter” option *2021-01-10, version 2.6* I needed this app to put a Polaroid style custom date on one of my photos, and was very happy that this was something the app could achieve, however, I personally don’t want any of the app’s filter options on this photo, and through about 10 minutes of trial and error I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s impossible to leave my photo neutral with no filter after putting a date on it. The filters may have their place, but they greatly distort what I’d like my photo to look like and leave the image dark and shadowy, almost unrecognizable. The dates and the grain options work great but I’m really disappointed I can’t take any of the filters off and there’s no “original” or “no filter” options. ### 4/5 — Great app *2020-10-18, version 2.6* You can now import and edit photos from your phone and it’s really to do ### 4/5 — 👌 *2020-03-18, version 2.6* so i love the app and all but i can’t seem to figure out where my saved photos from the app went. it always says it saved my photos but where did it save it to??? ### 4/5 — Great app, with a bug *2020-02-14, version 2.6* When using my iPhone 11 Pro, the app stretches the photo. Despite being updated to the latest version. Otherwise an awesome app. ### 3/5 — Bring the old version back! *2020-01-23* The grain effect adjustments is not doing my pictures justice with new version 👎🏼 **Developer response:** Good news, we’re working on enhancing our preset filters with new and classic looks. Feel free to contact us with addition information of what your looking for at https://www.graincam.com/contact. ### 3/5 — Filters *2020-01-06, version 2.6* App is pretty cool but which there was a way to turn off the automatic color filters. Just leave the color of the photo as is and add grain to it, or at least be able to lower the intensity of the filters provided. ### 3/5 — Grande potencial. *2019-10-01, version 2.2.1* O aplicativo em si é incrível, mas a expectativa se perde ao meio por não ter opção de salvar na galeria. ### 3/5 — . *2019-09-28, version 2.2.1* the photos aren’t saving to my camera roll🤦🏽‍♀️ ### 2/5 — 🤠🔫 *2019-09-09, version 2.2.1* The app squished my photo. i do not recommend. ### 2/5 — CRASH *2019-08-11, version 2.2.1* App keeps on crashing :( please fix it. : ### 4/5 — Keeps shutting down *2019-07-20, version 2.2.1* Love this app but it keeps shutting down every time I take or import a picture ### 4/5 — Great app *2019-07-18, version 2.2.1* Great app only con is the ads but other than that its very good ### 4/5 — Great App , 1 Flaw *2019-06-20, version 2.2.1* i really love this app , its ALMOST better than HUJI , can you guys not make the picture flip after we take it and pick a flitter ? ### 2/5 — App keeps crashing *2019-05-29, version 2.2* The filter settings look super cool but every time I pick a picture from my photo album , the app completely crashes and goes back to my home screen. I haven’t been able to edit a single picture yet **Developer response:** Have you tried checking Grain Cam app settings on your iPhone to ensure the photo saving (read write) feature is on?

Not worth the trouble of exiting it 5 times for it to work. ### 1/5 — Thought this issue would be resolved by now but it’s not. *2020-05-06, version 2.6* I read the top review from a year ago saying it doesn’t work on iPhone 7 cause it’s “super zoomed in” and I figured “it’s been a year, surely they’ve resolved the issue by now.” They haven’t... disappointed cause this app looked promising. Not to mention that there’s room for an ad while the controls are cropped out. Fix your app and you’ll get better reviews. ### 1/5 — No me deja guardar las fotos *2020-01-20, version 2.6* No me deja guardar las fotos en mi carrete ### 1/5 — Duzeltilmesi lazim *2019-10-06, version 2.2.1* Fotograf cektiginde de galeriye kaydetmiyor Ggaleriden fotograf duzenlesende kaydetmiyor ### 1/5 — Grain cam *2019-08-14, version 2.2.1* Horrible!
