I bought this app on my iPad but cannot install it on my iPad

Selection or full access

Iโ€™m being asked if only a selection or full access to my photos. If I choose selection only I canโ€™t access any other photos than the previous once used. That doesnโ€™t make sense. Going back and trying to change that decision isnโ€™t possible - because it doesnโ€™t show. I need to wait 24hrs until all options are available again?

Fabulous app!

There are so many same-old photo apps out there, but this one I love. I use Apple Photos, Lightroom and a couple of others, but this little app does exactly what itโ€™s supposed to do and does it very well.

Great

This is a fantastic app which I find to give realistic looking film photos, the pro version is well worth the ยฃ5. My only gripe is how big the photo files are when saving them.. around 60mb. This really adds up when I use this app so much. I would like to see updates on the app with more light leak options
