Money hungry App! *2025-10-13* Downloaded it and can’t even preview it without “having” to set up trial version. It has an option to continue with “limited version” but it doesn’t work. That takes you to option to use your camera or select picture to use. Will let you select a picture so it can snoop into your life but won’t let you use your camera to look at things around you in its simulated lense. Definitely deleting app. Don’t waste your time or risk your money with this company. Uninstalling! **Developer response:** Our app does not require any mandatory trial period — this can be verified by any new user. The situation you described simply does not exist in our product. It looks like you may be describing a completely different app. We take transparency and user trust very seriously, and such fake claims only harm real users and our team. — Awesome World Team ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2024-03-02* I can’t find any tools or any way to change what is happening on the screen. It just keeps doing the same animated feather picture over and over and over. Are there tools and directions somewhere? **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback; in the new version, we have corrected these errors. In the new version, when the program is launched, hints about controls appear. Swiping right and left changes the kaleidoscope lenses. At the top left, there is a function to apply image enhancement, and at the bottom center, there is a button for sharing or saving. We hope you'll enjoy the improvements and reconsider your opinion and rating! ### 3/5 — Import Photos & Videos *2025-06-26* Can you add a feature that allows people to add the effects to photos and videos that are already taken? **Developer response:** We’ve significantly expanded the app’s functionality, including the option to add your own photos. We truly hope that using the app will bring you even more enjoyment. Thank you for your feedback! ### 3/5 — Great but missing options *2025-03-20* If it gave the option to upload a video, I would give it 5 stars. **Developer response:** Sure, we’re already working on it! Sincerely Yours, Awesome World Team ### 3/5 — Import Photos & Videos *2024-10-22* Can you guys add a feature that allows people to use photos and videos they already took? **Developer response:** Good idea! Why not? ### 3/5 — Import Photos *2024-05-16* Can you guys add a feature that allows people to use photos they already took? **Developer response:** Good idea! Why not? ### 5/5 — Y *2026-06-19* N ### 5/5 — Amazing app with kaleidoscopic effects *2025-11-15, version 2.1.0* I love that everything works offline. Super easy to create mesmerizing wallpapers or loop background video. It’s a fun, artsy mix — I keep coming back to it. ### 5/5 — Super cool *2025-09-29* Awesome **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! It really inspires our team to improve and keep updating. Best regards, Awesome World Team. ### 5/5 — Awesome app to make fun *2024-04-02, version 0.7.5* Downloaded app couple of days ago and still playing with it, really like an idea 😎 ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Captivating and enchanting *2024-03-26* I could watch this for hours. And so much more fun to be able to take pictures with the varying kaleido effects. To top it all off, the Dev is ultra-responsive. Other devs should follow this lead. ### 5/5 — Beautiful app *2024-03-21* Myriad possibilities, continuously fascinating. Now if only there was a way to select effects without scrolling through all of them. Btw what is the star for? If it’s to pick faves, how do you recall your faves? Dev- thanks for a timely response and for fixing that problem. Btw any way to add my own music tracks? **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Yes, this product is constantly evolving and changing. In the next releases, it is planned to create a section of favorite lenses and a list or gallery of all existing lens. In the future, we will try to implement the functionality of adding our own tracks. We will make this product better ) Enjoy using it! p.s. button with a star - to apply the post-processing effect (yes, we know that the icon is not clear, we are working on it ;) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
