Easy to tweak

It is so easy and inexperienced to tweak my photos with all of these apps from this developer.

Unable to load photo

Purchased Grungetastic this evening. I am unable to upload a photo—-the camera roll flashes for just a second then disappears and I get the Try Again Screen. I did have a similar problem after upgrade with iColorama where the developer suggested I try selecting “Use small Image picker” in the iColorama section of the ipad settings until he could write a few lines of code. That worked, and he updated the app a few days later. There is no similar option in Grungetastic so I’m not sure if it’s a similar issue. I’ve also tried limiting permissions to “select photos” but that does not help. I would appreciate your input so that I can use the app, which was recommended by one of your affiliates, Meridith Images.

Dislike!

There is not enough fine-tuning in this App to make the quality of images that I need. The interface is clunky, the presets are junky.
Avoid. There are much better Apps out there. Try Distressed FX and see what a great App is like.
