I used to use this all the time. There was so much variety, practically being able to do anything you wanted if you tried hard enough. Even if you didn't feel like paying a subscription, there was still a ton to do. Might as well forget about that last part, though. Just about everything is blocked behind a paywall now. I get that it's a free app and you gotta make money, but could've at least left something. Other than that, app is still really good if you're willing to pay a subscription, but that's an annoying thing to get over. ### 1/5 — How sad… *2026-09-03, version 9.4.0* This used to be the absolute BEST photo editor. Now everything is behind a pay wall and requires you to pay for the subscription if you want to do anything. EVERY filter or effect is a pro feature now. There 0 free ones. Almost every template you try has some kind of pro feature on it. As much as I love this app and have used it for years. I think it’s time to uninstall and find something else. Super sad that greed has taken over this app. Hopefully one day it does go back to being the great app it used to be. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-09-03, version 9.4.0* i used to LOVE this app. now everything costs money. why are you so money hungry? even simple tools cost money. used for years but will be deleting now. ### 2/5 — Not see Some Editing Feature. *2026-09-03, version 9.4.0* When i going to edit face. It Gat Continuelay Loding. Why? ### 1/5 — All features need to be paid for *2026-09-02, version 9.4.0* This used to be a really great app for editing photos. Haven’t used in a while so not sure when the change happened but seems like it’s just been in the recent months according to other reviews. Every feature is hidden behind paid premium now. I’d say 95% of the features. Sucks, going to have to find a new app for photo editing. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-09-01, version 9.4.0* App used to be good now it’s a money making method no free features no nothing and I bought premium and didn’t even get the features contacted support no help had to call bank to refund horror app has great potential too bad it’s corrupted by greed ### 3/5 — Not bad but not good enough *2026-09-01, version 9.4.0* I have a few comments on Hypic, specifically on the iPad version, as the iPad has better clips. 1. Please keep the step adjustment space for every category, which is not just a “tick” to lock everything down. Case 1, I cannot adjust it again, eg I finish “touch-up / touch up + skin,” the only way I can confirm what I've done is by “ticking” it. When I click “Touch up” again, all the numbers revert to default. After layering on the “filter” or “adjust,” I would like to fine-tune my first Touch-up, but I CANNOT. I can only add digital enhancements, which is bad. Case 2, Filters keep adding on with every click. The good thing is I can add different filters, but can you let us click a tick to confirm the PREVIEW to add a filter layer (which should be adjustable)? 2. Create a “save recipe” function. After finishing any project, let us apply the same settings (only colour and adjustments) to other photos later. This saves a lot of time when shooting in the same setting. Please don't tell me about batch editing; I mean I want the recipe saved as a library that can be recalled whenever needed. 3. Export should not flatten all edits. All adjustments need to stay as set, and it should be possible to undo and fine-tune, including cropping. 4. Add a new category under Filter called “Your Own Recipe.” Save as a NEW filter after editing our own version. This involves duplicating the filter with “adjust,” “opacity,” “intensity,” then saving it as “same name 2” and auto-saving to “favourites.” 5. Align all name positions between iPhone and iPad. Sharing with friends is hard if it's not consistent. 6. Please pay close attention to improving face features in half-face photos. Many professionals in the beauty industry are willing to pay for a subscription to an app that uses AI to help enhance half-face photos. ### 1/5 — Everything is now under a subscription *2026-09-01, version 9.4.0* This was my favourite app but after the recent update every free option is now under a subscription and even the normal filters are all under a price. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me use my pro I paid for *2026-08-31, version 9.4.0* I just purchased pro but then it made me sign in afterwards and now it’s not letting me use pro features and is prompting me to pay again. ### 1/5 — ANNOYED *2026-08-31, version 9.4.0* This was my go to app to edit my photos. Have used it for many years so I know when they started to charge for things that were FREE. The makeup section was ALL free, now you have to pay if you want to use anything related to makeup. They don’t even give you 2-3 FREE options. The effects section is no longer free, once again there’s no free options to choose from. I’m so disappointed by how greedy the developers have gotten. NEVER DOWNLOADING THIS APP AGAIN. ### 2/5 — Disappointing Greed *2026-08-30, version 9.4.0* As a graphic designer, this used to be my favorite photo app. Now, they all but force you to pay for their annual subscription fee to use any of the tools that made this app worth using. Extremely disappointing and limiting. ### 1/5 — Please make more features free *2026-08-30, version 9.4.0* I use hypic for a lot or even most of my pictures, used to be great but now everything needs vip and it honestly just a rob considering it requires £8.99 a month just for a few pics😭😭 ### 1/5 — extremely useless updates *2026-08-30, version 9.4.0* liked the app at first but now most features are locked behind a paywall because of a money hungry company ### 1/5 — I hate this app! *2026-08-30, version 9.4.0* That’s super bad because they decided to make everything paid, I only used it for reshape but now any other app will be better because there it’s free. The developers have gotten out of hand! ### 3/5 — Annoying *2026-08-29, version 9.4.0* This used to be my absolute favorite app for editing pictures but now theres a huge paywall. I ended up buying the subscription so that i could still use all of the filters but now after editing photos the filters will randomly not be available. just yesterday there was almost 100 filters in the vintage section but now theres like 10. WHERE DO THEY GO!!?? This just isnt worth the money like it used to be. SAD. ### 1/5 — everything is paid *2026-08-29, version 9.4.0* this used to be a really good app for editing but now everything is paid, even the most basic features :( ### 1/5 — Unused *2026-08-28, version 9.4.0* Full functionality of the premium version of the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not free as before *2026-09-08, version 9.4.0* All effects are premium now… ### 1/5 — The app went downhill *2026-09-07, version 9.4.0* This app used to be so good, you could do everything on it, now you have to pay for almost everything. Deleted. ### 1/5 — đánh giá *2026-09-06, version 9.4.0* app đói à? h cái j cũng cần tiền ngày xưa tốt bao nhiêu càng ngày càg tệ ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-09-06, version 9.4.0* It used to be so good but pretty much EVERYTHING is now premium or whatever id say theres around 2 things i can use for free, pretty greedy, DO BETTER! ### 1/5 — Ушлепки *2026-09-05, version 9.4.0* Все платно пшн ### 1/5 — 醒图想钱想疯了吧 *2026-09-05, version 9.4.0* 有病 全要钱 ### 1/5 — Hypic *2026-09-05, version 9.4.0* I used to really enjoy this app. But now everything you just have to pay now.. ### 1/5 — Everything IS PRO💔 *2026-09-04, version 9.4.0* Everything on this apps is useless because it’s all fricking pro I was scrolling on the floors and none of them I could use screw this app bro don’t waste you’re time ### 1/5 — fuh this app *2026-09-03, version 9.4.0* genuinely fuh this app all of the effects and filters used to be free now it’s all hidden behind a paywall ### 1/5 — “Ai特效”里面怎么就只剩几个了？How come there are only a few "AI effects" left? *2026-09-03, version 9.4.0* 我是一个付费用户，全年的，用的比较多的是“Ai特效”，之前一周还很正常，现在里面就剩几个特效了，上下都不能更新和刷新，删除重装也一样，想联系客服也找不到地方。平台应该来看一看评论区，及时加以改进。谢谢！ I am a paid annual subscriber who frequently uses the "AI effects" feature. Everything was working fine just a week ago, but now only a few effects remain; I cannot refresh or update the list, and deleting and reinstalling the app hasn't helped. I also can't find a way to contact customer support. The platform really ought to check the comments section and make timely improvements. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 결제 *2026-09-05* 결제했는데 적용이 안됐어요. 또 구매하면 구입을 할 수 없대요. 빠른 시일 내에 제발 고쳐주세요ㅜㅜ 저 보정해야하는디..ㅜ ### 5/5 — Нужен русский язык *2026-09-01, version 9.4.0* Переведите на русский язык для айфона ### 5/5 — good application *2026-08-27, version 9.4.0* very very good ### 5/5 — 제발캐논필터어디갓나요 *2026-08-18* 진짜다조은데 캐논디카필터가 안보여요...갑자기 사라진건지 모르겠지만 아무튼 최애 필터였어서 다시 나왔으면 좋겠어요ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ ### 5/5 — OᖴᖴIᑕI4ᒪ ᗰ4ᒪIK *2026-08-16, version 9.3.0* مــْٰلَــــــکٓـ ### 5/5 — Very *2026-08-09, version 9.2.1* Cool ### 5/5 — Picsart better *2026-08-03, version 9.2.1* Don’t like :/ ### 5/5 — You have to pay for mostly everything now *2026-07-21, version 9.1.0* I have used this app for 2 years and never had any issues until now.
