Use Effects With Ease – Our libraries are filled with high quality, pro level effects like light leaks, grain, dust, prisms and more to your video. Tap to add an effect, then use gestures to adjust. 

Share With Friends – iMessage or Airdrop your look to a friend, or send your looks between your devices during your editing flow. You can also share looks to RTRO, our fun photo/video capture iPhone app, to start shooting with custom looks right away!

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2026-06-02*

Please attempt to update the app because it keeps crashing whenever you use it for too long. Even after you close it, reset the phone, delete the app. The thing is, deleting the app, just deleted all the videos I had saved under files within the app, and that’s on me. However, the crashed are lowkey making the app unusable so, please, if you could fix that, that would be awesome.

### 1/5 — It ought to save a grainy video for five dollars..

*2024-08-30*

…hm…doesnt
MatchColors iOS does though,and changes the LUT bulb ha

### 2/5 — Almost always never works

*2024-08-21*

This app never works ever. I am using iPhone 15 and videos shot with moment app or iPhone camera app to import and edit. 

This app always fails to execute and crashes. I am using a laid version and I am never left with a complete edited video. The interface is tricky and confusing plus the invariably crashing makes it frustrating and boring to use

### 3/5 — I liked it.

*2023-07-20*

I liked what this app was about. I could craft a decent look and take that digital edge off of the phone footage. For feedback - I’d love to see a more intuitive workflow. It’s currently very odd but I can make it work. For the app overall, I’m currently on iOS 16.5.1 and Grain is crashing on every attempt to launch. So, yeah… there’s that. But when it was working, I dug the looks I could get…

### 1/5 — Beta at best

*2023-01-07*

Feels more like a test app than finished. Poor interface at best. Canceled subscription after hopes that things would improve. No real help on best way to use. Templates ugly and annoying. Nice try if free but not ready for prime time.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2022-11-16*

This app is clean cut, straight forward and performs to my liking. However when I import my footage there are white (sometimes black) artifacts all over my footage. This is disappointing considering I planned to use this app to create personal LUTs to use in my videos.

### 1/5 — a Moment miss

*2022-10-14*

dang. was really pumped for this because i love Moment lenses but this app really fell short of expectations. i think they need to do a better job of explaining why you would want this app, and then show its uses. 
great for exporting a custom LUT
horrible for exporting the clip you spent so much time color grading

### 5/5 — Great Color Grading tool on the go

*2022-08-18*

I fell in love with the app as in my opinion it is by far the best color grading you can get on an ipad. The only thing that still kind of prevents me from using it more is that you can‘t use your own export settings and the ones that the app uses seem to downgrade the video a little making every use of it like a double edged sword.

### 4/5 — Decrease of the brightness

*2022-07-10*

This app is quite good but the one thing that i dislike is the brightness decreases after i save to my phone and it makes the video dark. I don’t know what happened but please solve this problem.

### 2/5 — HSL dial not working

*2022-06-13*

just bought the app, the HSL panel is not usable. only able to toggle lightness, Hue and Saturation dials don’t appear on screen.
