Fab!

I love this app!! Some things that would make it a 5 star: ability to edit our saved combos w/out having to save as a new favorite, fix the FB connection, make it easier to reset settings to defaults, open all new pics w no edits- just as the original. Most importantly, get rid of the system where it asks which version of the pic you want to open. I want to open the one I selected, so just make it simple. Also, that doesn't work if I edited the pic in another app after mattebox and then want to open it in mattebox again.

Best photography app on appstore

Professional, Easy, high Quality, Like DSLR for iphone

BEST CAMERA APP OUT THERE

Do yourself a favor and purchase this app. Your photographs from there on out will thank you. Thanks for the great tool Ben.

Outstanding!

Mattebox is at the top of my front screen, and is my first ‘shooter’ — and my first editor!
Simplicity on the surface, complexity under the hood!
Point, compose, press to focus & expose, slide finger to shoot. Simple!
Editing has much more complexity that I'm still working through. Excellent editing tools (though I miss Sharpening …) Filters are excellent, plus eminently adjustable. Socially-available filters as well.

The best UI is never in the way

An amazing example of User Interface design. Excellent!

wow

This is my favorite camera app ever. Shoots tiff, non-destructive editing, you can import the filters in to Lightroom or curves into photoshop. SO GOOD.

Good but not (yet) great

Good: Nice and simple camera, easy to operate, exposure adjustments, terrific output quality, and wonderful filters.

Bad: There are still a few bugs and MANY ease-of-use issues. Workflow is not smooth.

I have send my feedback to the developer. If he responds and fixes the issues, I will gladly change to five stars. This app should be five-star but not there yet.

The. Best.

Overall, tried most every app. VSCO cam was my go to, but this took taking photos on iPhone to the next level. If you are on the fence, just take the plunge and buy it. I would like to see some sort of social/blog integration like VSCO Grid.

Mattebox Rocks

I would like to see a little bit more social atmosphere within the community portion of this app. Unless I'm missing something I would like to be able to search for more than just the top 100 of which I think there are less sometimes maybe there's a way that that can be modified for the future. With regard to the quality of this app... I have used virtually every camera app in the store and there's very few that I will always go back to use sometimes just because they're fun to use this is one of those, but it also produces a quality image. I enjoy fine-tuning the images and I think the interface is unique, attractive and the developer is very much interested in hearing from you. So, before you have any negative feedback give him a try.

Great app!

Fantastic app for picture taking with save as tiff for quality. Editing in the app is easy with a lot of filters from other users. Use them as a starting point and create a new one or simply start from scratch.
Very happy with the app!

First Class camera app

Simple interface, powerful features. I have no complaints. High quality stuff.

Annoying prompts

Nice filters, well designed once you leave the take pic UI.

But…leave me alone. Don't freeze the app and interrupt my workflow to do something for your gain. I am not your pimp.

An error has occurred

This was/is a great app and the first version I used all the time, unfortunately the new version has some major problems on the 3GS with ios7. Crashes red boxes floating around saying 'An error has occurred'.

The editor just doesn't function any more.

Good luck with the bug fixes.

One Camera App to Rule Them All!

I can't say enough how much I love this app. It really helps you focus on the way you shoot and the filter editing possibilities are endless.

Amazing control

Why pay for filters when you can create your own and try 100's already shared via the Mattebox community.

So many favourite filters made by very talented photographers, love it 👌

Awesome!

I loved using Mattebox 1 and was excited about the launch of the 2nd version. I was surprised and pleased when the app was upgraded and I didn't have to pay again, though I would've many times over!
This app is the best photo app by a mile and one of the best designed apps I've used all round. The fact that you don't have to pay anything other than the app price is great. Unlimited filters from great users.
Oh and it handles my DSLR photos WITHOUT downsizing!
You will not be disappointed.

Almost there.

Great app but is so annoying that the photos don't save with the filter applied to them, other than that an amazing camera!

Beautiful UI

This app is wonderful. Beautiful UI with plenty of photo editing features and essentially an endless amount of filters that can be applied in a breeze.

I'd love this if it actually WORKED.

Red boxes that say "an error has occured" that pop up in columns right after the Mattebox splash screen (after opening the app). What gives?

The ONE.

Hands down the best camera/editing app for iOS, an easy to use and accurate camera and a powerful editor rolled into one. I use it on my iPhone 5S as a camera, and as an editor on my iPad (you can specify which should open when you launch the app). It has many of the functions of a desktop editor like Lightroom or Aperture, and is a great platform within which to learn how to develop and fine tune an image. You can save a set of rules as a filter, you can easily apply edits to other images. And since filters are sharable among other users (a feature unique to MB), you can quickly apply a wide variety of looks to an image.
