### 2/5 — Problem

*2026-01-21*

Unter dem aktuellen IOS ist die Möglichkeit zu speichern defekt. Um ein Update wird gebeten.

### 4/5 — Nice effects

*2021-01-19*

I really liked using this app for some subtle but very effective effect on my photos. I used it on most of what I took. 
However, I have just realised that by doing so, you lose the location data. 
This is a feature of my photos I’m not willing to do without so I’m going to have to stop using it.

### 2/5 — This WAS my favorite app

*2020-12-27, version 12.3*

Been using this to edit pics for YEARS, loved the chroma ring and bokeh dots but now every time I try to open it crashes 😭😭😭

### 2/5 — Bokeh no longer works

*2020-12-20*

Great, apart from the defunct bokeh orb options. Emailed the app and no reply - pretty poor.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you're having trouble with LensLight. Please try deleting and re-installing and rebooting. If this doesn't help, please contact us at support@brainfevermedia.com

### 3/5 — Changes?

*2020-11-06, version 12.3*

I use this app for one very specific effect, a glow that I could add to candles to make them appear lit in photos. I opened the app today and couldn’t find that effect— did you split the app into two and now I have to pay again for lensflare as well? It seems like this app got stripped down.

### 5/5 — عراق

*2020-08-02, version 12.3*

رائع جدآ

### 5/5 — Show!!!

*2020-07-27*

Muito legal, fácil recusar e feitos bem reais!

### 5/5 — Love

*2020-04-12, version 12.3*

It makes normal pictures into masterpieces 🌟💕

### 4/5 — アプデが原因…？

*2020-01-21*

今年に入ってからアプリが立ち上がらなくなりました(；；)
とても気に入っていたアプリだったので残念です…

### 3/5 — Please help!

*2020-01-05, version 12.0*

### 1/5 — Love this app!

*2024-08-26, version 13.2*

Been using this app for several years when I want to add a little extra to a photo or digital art I am working on. Solid, practical, and steady. Thank you developer for keeping this in the App Store!

### 1/5 — this app is getting weirder: ...

*2023-10-17*

... used to be great. now, it only is possible to store a pic as a huge file. and editing on iphone is faulty. support does not care.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, right off the bat.

*2023-01-02, version 13.1*

The sliders in the “edit” section literally do not move. I can’t edit brightness, scale, etc. 

Also, “glow” implies taking a photo and enhancing the bright areas already present. All of these are overlays. It would be great to add an actual “glow” feature to this app.

### 1/5 — Хороший редактор

*2020-12-20*

Отличные эффекты но увы разработчик забросил приложение.

### 1/5 — Hat Zugriff auf Bilder obwohl gesperrt 🤨

*2020-09-30*

Würde gerne mal wissen, warum hat LensFlare immer noch Zugriff auf Bilder, obwohl der Zugriff gesperrt ist. Eines der Features von iOS14 ist, dass man Apps den Zugriff auf Bilder nur auf bestimmte Bilder gewähren kann, auch kann man den Zugriff ganz verweigern, so das man die App ohne Zugriff nicht nutzen kann. Nur bei LensFlare kann ich trotzdem auf die Bilder zugreifen und sie mit flares bearbeiten, obwohl ich der App den Zugriff verweigert habe. Andere Apps sagen sofort “Kein Zugriff auf Bilder” warum hat LensFlare weiterhin Zugriff? Kann mir der Support mal bitte erklären?! Danke.

### 1/5 — Cannot Get the App to open

*2020-02-28, version 12.3*

I see all the great reviews on here but I’m not happy. I paid for the app and downloaded it but every single time I try to open it, it force closes on me and I can’t do anything with it. I don’t see where an update is available. If someone could help me out, I would appreciate it.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2020-02-02, version 12.3*

I loved using this app when it worked , tried everything every time I open it ...it glitches out , I gave up trying to figure it out looking for one similar

### 1/5 — 残念

*2020-01-30*

アップデートしたらアプリが落ちて使えなくなりました。

### 1/5 — Still Can’t save photos since the update

*2020-01-22, version 12.2*

Please fix, every since the update I cannot save my photos after I edit them. I click the share button in the top right corner and nothing happens.

This issue remains. I can no longer save my photos 🤦🏽‍♀️

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-01-15, version 12.1*

The app keeps crashing, I deleted the app and uploaded again thinking it will fix this problem and is still not working or saving my picture in my camera roll.

*2022-11-04, version 2.6*

I appreciate the updates

### 5/5 — Sehr gut!

*2022-01-20*

Habe mir das komplette Paket für 9.99€ gegönnt. Hat sich richtig gelohnt! Man kann seinen Bildern nochmal den letzten Schliff geben. Sehr umfangreiche Möglichkeiten seine Bilder zu gestalten. Sehr gut auch die Möglichkeit mit Layern zu arbeiten. 
Schon die App LensLight bietet eine Menge. Kann ich jedem nur empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant

*2021-08-11*

I love using this app. It really helps me with my creativity, particularly with concept art and editing photos. Love all your apps. I’d love to see some updates with more templates.

### 5/5 — The very Best

*2021-03-31*

I like very Much

### 5/5 — Love this app and it’s features!

*2020-12-04, version 12.3*

I am loving this app and adding star effects to my photos easily! I don’t take the time to mess with settings on my phone like I do with my camera so thank you LensLight for your ease of use and wide selection of effects! I would like the option to eliminate the longer light effect as that’s not always present in my natural photos however.
