### 5/5 — Useful image editing app

*2023-07-16*

This is a nice image editor app with quick to use presets, a good range of image adjustments options to edit photos which has an easy to use editor.

By default the app is more suited towards black and white effects which it is great at though it also has a range of Effects and enhancement options included and can work with colours so it’s optional.

Where I think the app could improve would be with loading and saving of presets alongside of the quick presets. The vignette is good but some options to adjust the shape and also tint the colour of it would be very useful, a noise grain in combination could allow for some good retro effects.

There is a wide range of options available to modify images, future enhancements could be some more modes available for the currently available options. For example the dithering tool works well to set in the amount though it would be good to control various different dithering algorithm modes, the same could enhance the sketch setting also.

You can edit with resize, scale, crop and flip tools and see the metadata and histogram for images. The app also allows you to see all your image in Gallery mode which is useful and lets you quickly see all of your images in one place to quickly find photos.

The app is simple to use, has some nice image adjustments options and is a recommended purchase.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much!

### 5/5 — iPhone 14.8.1

*2021-11-11*

Successfully downloaded this app.  All the basic editing capabilities are here.  The intensity and depth of colors are amazing.
The clarity of the images are beyond what I have found before.  Although it will take awhile to be comfortable enough to fully appreciate this app, I can already tell this is a superior editing tool.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and purchasing. Sorry for the inconveniences related to dropped support of iOS 14. If I am not mistaken you bought a bundle with the color tool. It comes with thumbnails and QuickLook extensions and will be very helpful even if you will not run the app itself. Regards.

### 5/5 — Photo library won’t load

*2020-10-13*

Please fix ASAP...

**Developer response:** Please, open "Gallery" screen and look at its bottom. Second button from the left - it is a calendar, press it and select desired dates. Please let me know if you still have a problem. Next time you can send questions to my email - viktor@fwkit.com
Thank you!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-11-22*

App wouldn’t even let me edit it my own photos. Just the ones taken on the app. Paid 6 dollars for some boof

**Developer response:** It is not clear. You can edit and save any image opened in the app. If you have any questions - please write viktor@fwkit.com I'll be glad to solve your problems.

### 5/5 — Update: I can now see all my photos

*2019-04-18*

I have added 4 more stars as promised because you told me how i can see all the photos in my gallery.  Thank you for your response, albeit tardy!

**Developer response:** Also you can double tap to select entire month or year.
Thank you!

### 5/5 — Impressive App

*2018-01-26*

This is a very competent editor. The developer is constantly working on this app. He is either tweaking the performance, adapting it to a new IOS or adding new capabilities.

As mentioned by another reviewer, this app is truly a labor of love for the developer. The app continually grows and improve with time. I find myself deleting apps, that I never thought had an expiration date. If you are looking to save high resolution files for print, this is simply a must have.

### 5/5 — Great app for black and white (and more)

*2017-08-15*

At first I saw this as only a b&w app, but if you dig in you will find all kinds of useful editing tools. This app has really grown on me. Give it a try, I do t think you'll be disappointed.

### 5/5 — LineEngraver

*2017-03-07*

LineEngraver opens up a new set of doors in regards to photography. There's so much more you can do with just Monochrome that I never knew you could do. This app is worth the price and it engulfed me more into photography and I'm sure it will engulf others as well.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2016-07-06*

Great design and execution! Very usefull! 🏆😄👏🏻

### 2/5 — Nice effect; horrible resolution

*2012-10-05*

Pretty effect and nice interface, but the 450x600 resolution makes it worthless.
