Tricked into LIFETIME purchase

When I clicked on the trial version, the app had switched to LIFETIME purchase. When i asked for a refund with in the hour of buying this, Apple denied this. This seems deceitful.

Nice

Compact intuitive great value

Don’t bother - Light function ruined since last update. AVOID.

The previous lighting function “relight” was solid and functional, but since the last update the light function has been comprehensively ruined. I’ll be cancelling my subscription as this was one of the most useful features and now Darkroom has a a head and shoulders lead over this app. Highly disappointing and for no logical reason.

Scam

Why was I charged for a 1 year subscription after I purchased the lifetime membership?

I was double billed by this app, and apple refused to refund the 1 year subscription.

Unless the developer Luminar can rectify this error, this app is a scam in terms of its billing policy.

Great App

This really allows you to work on your photos on your phone.

I love it

Love luminar but i bought the app on my galaxy but i signed in on apple and it wouldnt let me use it on my apple other than that i love it

좋은앱

풍경 사진에서의 편집은 좋은편 인거 같습니다
다만 전부 고려해서 배치 하셧겠지만 앱내의 컨트롤 아이콘의 크기가 다소 작은거 같습니다
그리고 인물에서의 편집 할수 있는 항목들이 너무 적습니다, 인물사진 항목에서 세부적인 편집 내용들이 들어가면 좋을거 같습니다, 인물사진에서의 편집은 편집하고자 하는 부분을 제외하면 나머지 부분은 고정이 되어서 왜곡을 줄였으면 좋겠습니다

Sensacional

Um dos melhores aplicativos de edição que eu já vi. Recomendo!

A ne surtout pas télécharger ! Tu payes mais cela ne fonctionne pas

Application plutôt bien quand elle fonctionnait.
Mais ce n’est malheureusement plus le cas depuis plusieurs semaines. Aucune photo ne se charge, tu ne peux plus rien modifier. Application inutilisable mais pourtant payante. C’est une honte !

Response from developer

Je suis vraiment désolé d'apprendre que l'application ne fonctionne plus. Nous sommes prêts à vous aider. Veuillez nous contacter directement en soumettant ce formulaire de contact : https://skylum.com/support/contact et notre équipe d'assistance vous répondra dans les plus brefs délais.

This is great if you don’t know how to edit

The Luminar app exists for folks who don’t know how to use Lightroom. It’s extremely limited on actual editing. The end result is either barely touched or way over processed.

Fantastische Updates, endlich direkt in Apple Fotos speichern !

Ich bin von der App wirklich begeistert. Besonders beeindruckt mich, dass sie regelmäßig weiterentwickelt wird und ständig sinnvolle Updates erhält.

Mit dem letzten Update wurde endlich eine Funktion hinzugefügt, auf die ich schon lange gewartet habe: das Exportieren von Bearbeitungen direkt in Apple Fotos – und das unter Beibehaltung eines non-destructive Workflows. Genau diese nahtlose Integration hat mir bisher gefehlt und macht meinen Workflow jetzt deutlich angenehmer.

Die kontinuierliche Pflege und Weiterentwicklung der App sind das Geld absolut wert. Ich habe die Lifetime-Lizenz gekauft und bin sehr froh über diese Entscheidung. Klare Empfehlung!

Sie können uns über diesen Link erreichen: https://skylum.com/support/contact, und das Support-Team wird sich so schnell wie möglich bei Ihnen melden.

Underwhelming

I was expecting a few more tools from the desktop version. Most of my most used tools from the desktop version don’t exist in this version. Please add ai sharpening, noise reduction, and more color tools.

No refund

I paid to use the app but when I tried to use it, it kept asking me to pay for it even though I already did.
Apple did not provide a refund for me.
So I paid like $70 for an app I can’t use.

液化

液化功能在哪?找了好久都没找到

Response from developer

Would give ZERO stars if I could….

If you want to have a company promise one thing and completely fail to deliver this product is for you! Paid for a years subscription and their app had me believing that I didn’t have a subscription only to then pay for the lifetime subscription for apple to ONLY acknowledge the year subscription and not the lifetime that I paid $69.99 for so I am out $109.98 for only a YEAR SUBSCRIPTION which should have only cost $39.99. Apple and Luminar REFUSE to come up with a solution.

So purchase at your own risk with no support from either company to help if you need it.

Edit: they told me to reach out to them via that email and I have….6 different times with no resolve over 3 weeks, but when you mention consumer fraud (which it is) they mention giving you a credit on their site for the amount that apple took but they didn’t. Just FYI to those wanting this program.

Great App

Only been using a day or so but it works really well for me with some great features.

Download at your own risk

Didn’t use the app much and felt the fees didn’t justify keeping the app. I cancelled and yet they continue to charge my credit card. When I asked them to refund they refused. Download at your own risk.

Excelente app

Es muy fácil de usar

Waste of money

Do not buy this product! It is extremely limited and it seem the adds are all the NEO capabilities that is not in the mobile app. I am sure that the full version is useful and may be with the purchase price but I assure you the mobile version is not. I would get a refund if I could

Needs HDR editing

Great app, but missing HDR so any edits will always look worse than the original picture quality.
