But as a person who edits photos or videos just for fun (I’m not an influencer, just a regular guy who works a full time job), I’m tired of seeing ads for these “new” apps to edit in. They all feel the same. This app is no different. Nothing makes it stand out. And charging $8 a week ($32 a month) after a two day trial is criminal. I would choose any other “retro editing app” over this. The markets too saturated with lackluster apps such as this one. ### 4/5 — It’s fun and cool but there’s a HUGE pay wall *2026-08-14, version 7.45.0* Yeah so I am not paying 8 bucks a month just to unlock everything, but everything else is pretty cool. Also you only get to edit 3 pictures a day without the premium, and no you can’t save them up. But it’s still pretty nice ### 2/5 — paywall *2026-07-26, version 7.44.0* mostly everything is just locked behind a giant paywall ### 5/5 — Amia *2026-07-22* Oh my god I think I just downloaded the best app!! I haven’t edit a photo yet but hope app won’t get many ad and pricey 😜😜👍🏻 ### 5/5 — THIS IS AMAZING. *2026-07-21, version 7.44.0* OMG ITS LIKE WHAT IGE EXPECTED DEFF RECOMMEND THIS APP!!! ### 5/5 — So far pretty accurate to ad *2026-07-19, version 7.44.0* I use it for a nostalgic filter on pictures of my car but it look like advertised ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-07-17, version 7.44.0* This is a really good app and it actually works and I really like it! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-07-08, version 7.43.2* A little too expensive, really good filters, but only let you put a filter on one photo at a time so it’s kind of a slow process. I really like the collage options, though! ### 5/5 — Love *2026-07-06, version 7.43.2* Literally just like the TikTok ad ### 3/5 — review *2026-07-05, version 7.43.2* you have to pay for it… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-09-09, version 7.47.0* This is a waste of space don’t use👎🏻 ### 1/5 — No me quiere abrir *2026-08-17, version 7.45.0* Le doy a la app y no abre se queda cargando y no pasa nada ### 1/5 — MONEY *2026-08-08, version 7.45.0* this app will not give your money back when you want a refund. ### 1/5 — horrible *2026-08-03, version 7.44.0* for one, they want you to pay to use everything on the app they suck actually and it’s not worth your money. ### 1/5 — awful *2026-07-29, version 7.44.0* who would pay $32 a month for filters that you can do yourself or even pay $2.99 a month for. nothing special for way too much money greedy losers ### 1/5 — Can’t open app *2026-07-22, version 7.44.0* the app is stuck on the loading screen where it just shows the app name with the animation ### 1/5 — Tired of constant paywalls *2026-07-21, version 7.44.0* I miss when photo editing app devs weren't leaches. ### 1/5 — Download is free, but access is behind a paywall? Literally a monopoly. *2026-07-18, version 7.44.0* I saw this app after seeing these ads talking about how it has all these cool filters and stuff, so I downloaded this out of curiosity because I thought it was cool and all, only to find out that you need to pay money to even access the app? It’s a damn FREE TO DOWNLOAD APP. And you put the whole thing behind a huge paywall? Make that make sense. Might as well just make the whole app paid instead of free to download. This is false advertising and is just a monopoly. ### 1/5 — the hell is this *2026-07-16, version 7.44.0* 10 dollars a week for worse camera quality 🏈🏈🏈🪃🏈🪃🎾🪃🏏🎱🏏🏏🎱🏏🥅🥎🥅🥎⛳️🥎⛳️🥏🎣🥏🥊🥊📹📸📸🐽🐷🦊🐷🙈🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒 ### 1/5 — Unable to cancel subscription *2026-07-10, version 7.43.2* I messaged u guys to help me cancel the subscription because there is no option to cancel on the app. Because I’m unable to pay for it it’s also interrupting with any other purchases I make on the App Store. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BEST APP FOR EDITING *2026-09-10, version 7.47.0* BEST APP EVER PLEASE KEEP🥹 ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER *2026-09-08, version 7.47.0* At first, I wasn’t super sure I saw it on TikTok and then I downloaded it and decided what the heck I’ll do a free trial for three days. Today is only my first day and I am genuinely loving it so much. This is the best editing app if you want easy editing, and very cute templates on a phone camera ### 5/5 — Amei *2026-09-02* Muito bom, conseguir a vibe 2016 com os filtros desse aplicativo ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-08-31, version 7.46.0* Omg this app gives me the option of like that old skool style I want and I just love that and I gives me 2016 vibes again and 200s ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-30, version 7.46.0* This is a really good app and I will tell my friend I already told my sister I’m like go get tits supper good I think she did have to make sure but go get it now ### 5/5 — 2 Things *2026-08-30, version 7.46.0* I really like this app but when you’re editing a photo with filters, there is no favorites button. I went through all the filters and added the ones that I loved to my favorites. I took a picture and wanted to edit the photo with different filters that I chose but again, no favorites button. The other is the weekly charge. I’m a yearly subscription kinda person so this is no go app for me. Other than those 2 things, it is a wonderful app. ### 5/5 — WOW!!!!! *2026-08-29, version 7.46.0* If you get a thought to get this app bc if all of the ads you should!!! Bro this app is literally amazing!!! Unlike TikTok’s filter that make you look like chat gpts new science experiment it makes you look like you went to a professional photographer never deleting!!!!! ### 5/5 — Creativity *2026-08-20, version 7.45.0* I like this app you can create anything with your photos. You can adjust your photos with simple colors or enhance colors, depending on how you prefer it and also you can use templates if it could be very time-consuming. I’ve used a couple times and I recommend using templates but mainly try to use your idea of brainstorming of what you can use effects with and what in the picture. Overall, I give it nine out of 10. I’m still getting used to it. Very fun and easy app. You can download it and It’ll give you tutorials on how to create effects for a certain template I definitely recommended. ### 5/5 — Loving this app *2026-08-08, version 7.45.0* I LOVE THIS APP. i love this app it helped making pics way better I love it n thank you for letting me find this app😍 ### 5/5 — awesome *2026-07-23, version 7.44.0* super cool and rad app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
