I took a photograph which couldn’t be manipulated. Then the screen locked onto some silly gamified advert. I’ll give it 3 stars because I have a Lomo camera which is smashing. Otherwise I’d have given zero. Deleted. ### 3/5 — Doesn't apply filter variations to final picture *2024-11-03, version 1.7.7* When you tap on the filter to get a new variation of the filter, it doesn't apply the variation when you export it. ### 2/5 — Too much adverts for other apps *2023-03-14, version Version 1.7.5* Cannot use Lomograpgh because adverts interfere every time you try to do something. Too much interference to be able to use the app! ### 3/5 — Ad *2022-05-03, version 1.7.4* Too much ads with no purpose. I hate it. ### 1/5 — Добавьте регулирование *2022-04-30* Добавьте пожалуйста регулирование насыщенности фильтра. Такими яркими фильтрами пользоваться невозможно. ### 1/5 — 사용 불가 *2022-04-11* 사용 불가하다고 뜨는데 이유가 뭔가요? ### 1/5 — Unusable *2022-03-28, version 1.6.81* Too many long ads that last for minutes at a time. You have to close the app and restart it. I couldn’t get past the ads to even edit a photo. Piece of garbage app ### 2/5 — I love, love, love *2021-12-11, version 1.6.81* I love, love, love these vintage filters, just like the analogs ### 1/5 — Advert Spam *2021-11-14, version 1.6.81* Apparently the app is just ad after ad after ad. Umm… can I edit my photos now? Colorstory is 1000 times better. ### 1/5 — Lot of ads *2021-10-08, version 1.6.81* Lot of ads ### 1/5 — Cheio de propagandas *2021-09-20* Não consegui terminar de editar uma foto sem ter visto 3 ou 4 propagandas. Péssimo. Não durou nem 10 minutos no meu celular. ### 1/5 — The app only cuts photos *2021-09-07, version 1.6.81* It does nothing else ### 1/5 — Pub *2021-08-28* Trop de pub ### 1/5 — Seriously? Five stars? *2021-08-13, version 1.6.81* Seriously? Advertisement before each action? It’s not even a free app!!! ### 1/5 — couldn’t get past the subscription page? *2021-06-16, version 1.6.81* how the eff do you go thru to use features for free? crap. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-05-17, version 1.7.7* The only thing it does is crop? Yeah that’s all I could get from your silly app so you gotta do better if you’re making an app that has other features than cropping then by all means allow us to figure that out. But if I spend five minutes and I can’t figure it out your toast. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-05-21* Not working **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. Please update to the latest version of Lomograph, as many issues are resolved in recent builds.

Нельзя регулировать интенсивность фильтра. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your feedback. Ads help support the free version of Lomograph, and you can remove them with a subscription. We’ve also noted your request for adjustable filter intensity. Please update to the latest version for the best experience. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-10-24, version Version 1.7.5* Could not even use it because there were too many ads, it’s annoying. You can’t go a step without getting ads. It’s an ad-minefield. ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2023-08-17, version Version 1.7.5* Too much advertisements ### 1/5 — Full screen ads in the first 30 seconds of using the app *2023-03-22, version Version 1.7.5* I downloaded this app yesterday and opened it today to see what it had it offer. I selected my first pic and a full screen ad piped up that I couldn’t close. After the ad ended a rate this app windows piped up. As I type this response ads continue to periodically overlay the keyboard. ### 1/5 — Confirm my age before using??? *2022-08-10, version Version 1.7.5* Why does a filter app need my birthday? Are you going to steal my info? Forget it! Deleting now. ### 1/5 — Compre filtros y ahora me sale que debo pagarlos de nuevo *2022-08-02, version 1.7.4* Compre el pack de filtros hace tiempo y me sale que debo comprarlos dw nuevo. Les escribi al correo y ni responden.:) ### 1/5 — Да уж *2022-05-15* Вот это наглость сделать бесплатные фильтры платными. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Lomograph continues to offer free filters, while additional filters are available with a subscription to support ongoing development. ### 1/5 — Too much advertising *2022-05-14, version 1.7.4* I used to use this app a lot, but now with the amount of advertising it's impossible. This app was one of the reasons I wanted to buy an iPhone again, I did it and now I have to delete the app. It would be better to charge an annual fee. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP!!🤩 *2026-08-22, version 1.7.7* There are so many filters and every one of them are so beautiful and unique.

Like it a lot. Wish to see a few improvements in future updates though... namely, the ability to adjust features variably, rather than just off/on in the settings, also need an option to completely disable or turn back the amount of light leaks on each filter. This apps strong suite though is it’s great random outcomes and how it tastefully distorts images while adding some decent dust overlays. I have to admit the additional filters in the premium are not that great but overall it’s a great app. Look forward to updates. 🙏🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
