### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2019-06-02, version 2.51*

Logically laid out with straight forward workflow and it’s free !

### 5/5 — Beautiful app - talented developer

*2018-11-06, version 2.40*

Wonderful for getting the most out of BW images. Total control. 

The name of the app is a little confusing since it’s the least developed feature. But great otherwise!

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2018-06-04, version 2.27*

This app is terrible nothing new. Very disappointed.

### 5/5 — Simple and easy

*2017-03-28, version 1.81*

Quickly converts any photo to one of 20 black and white styles.  All styles are editable as well.  Much faster than editing in Photoshop.

### 3/5 — Good photography app

*2017-03-22*

This is a generally good photography app focusing on black/white photo processing, but it has one major yet simple issue. The sorting of the photos is in reverse order, with the oldest first. This is enough to make it very difficult to use. Fix this and I'd give it four stars.
Best for those really into black/white photography in the digital realm.
Several of the functions are only accessible if you buy the pro version, but it's still a pretty fully-featured app.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-03-02, version 1.78*

This app does what it says and does it well.  The user interface is intuitive and works very smoothly.  Photos can be selected from your photo library or can be taken by the camera.  20 black and white images (several of these are essentially line drawings - very cool!) with different settings of brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma, etc. are offered as thumbnails, which can then be selected for additional editing.  The appearance of the image can be modified, as well as cropped, flipped, resized, etc.  The final image can be saved to a gallery or sent by text, e-mail, etc.

This app is easy to use, works well, has a nice set of features, and does not have any ads!

### 5/5 — perfect image editor!

*2017-03-02, version 1.78*

it offers various way to edit  my pics and they look just awesome in my album! you won't miss it if you are a photographer!

### 5/5 — Professional features

*2017-02-24, version 1.77*

Very professional app that solely focuses on black and white photographs. Every app can do black and white, but they don't have to features to tweak the pictures. This app does it in great detail. Well done!

### 5/5 — Great UI!

*2017-02-23, version 1.77*

Not so different than the many photo mod apps but very intuitive to use and very user friendly!

### 5/5 — Beautiful App

*2016-12-27, version 1.73*

This app has a simple and modern interface. The different filters and edit features are great for quick high quality edits of photos. The app provides a lot of information about the photos as well.
