Amazing and Addictive

By far the best $2 I have ever spent on any app. My only complaint is it kept me up until 4 am snapping pictures around my house. I can’t walk anywhere now without wondering how it would look on this app. I truly love this app. The creations it makes are mind boggling. My favorite app of all time.

App

Not very much editing options to adjust the focus area of the photo you kaleidoscope.

Abnoxious.

Why is every single filter cost money? It’s stupid, I always see apps like this that make you pay for a filter. Please change this.

How do you add media to the app

I bought this and was able to upload some video and images however I’m not sure how to upload media again, there are no directions and the app is not intuitive to use. Unclear is not a success

Needs landscape and full screen mode.

I would give this app 5 stars if they added full screen mode where you can switch to where UI buttons are visible. Also, they need to add horizontal landscape orientation as well.
