I’ve used it for many years BUT lately the amount of ads is ridiculous! Also the amount of filters that push you to need to purchase is crazy and I’ll probably delete this app soon. It’s horrible compared to what it used to be! What happened?! ### 3/5 — Too many networks error *2026-09-01, version 12.17.0* I love this app so much that I even subscribed to the paid version, but lately, I’ve been getting the “network error” message way too often, even when both my Wi-Fi and mobile data are working perfectly fine. It’s been happening so frequently that I can’t use important features when I need them. Please fix this issue! ### 4/5 — Please add more resolution options for videos! *2026-08-30, version 12.17.0* I have used Meitu for approximately three years, and it has the best resolution quality out of all the editing platforms I have ever encountered. That being said, it significantly lacks in the depth of video resolution quality. Meitu’s “AI UHD” photo enhancer works perfectly for all images because it does not rewrite the resolution itself; it merely sharpens the quality by fixing it. And because of how advanced Meitu’s “AI UHD” resolution quality actually is… I no longer have to use any other app to fix my photos. If Meitu added in “AI UHD” resolution quality options for videos, then I guarantee more users would most definitely be using your app. I hope that maybe you will take my feedback into consideration, or at least read it. Please get back to me if you have any questions! ### 3/5 — So many ads *2026-08-22, version 12.17.0* Throwing ads at you the second you open the app and every time you touch anything on it ### 2/5 — New update CHANGED FILTERS *2026-08-11, version 12.16.0* the new update changed the ORIGINAL filter quality to AI templates. When I use the glowing tan or g7x filter before it didn’t change my face…with the new update…completely changed the filters and made it AI looking and fake. They need to change it back. They are doing too much. ### 2/5 — free version not that useful *2026-08-07, version 12.16.0* for the photo editing, it’s an absolute chore trying to use the app without the subscription. when you click on an editing option, it won’t tell you that it’s a VIP only feature until you’re trying to apply it. so you have to tap around every single option to find out which ones are actually free. this is incredibly annoying and turned me away from even considering the subscription. additionally, whatever happened to one-time purchases? why does this app need an expensive subscription for basic features? i would reconsider coming back to this app if they unlocked more options on the free version, or offered a reasonably priced one-time purchase, but until then i’m out ### 3/5 — Problem after Updated *2026-08-07, version 12.16.0* I love this app, but I just updated it to the latest version. And the adding text tool is not working. It exit me out all the time. I can’t add any text right now. ### 3/5 — Functions not working *2026-08-06, version 12.16.0* Multi-person function is messed up, doesn’t let me select my face (every time it’s selected my face, the filters go to other people in the picture = =) ### 3/5 — Great app, became too expensive *2026-08-01, version 12.15.5* Used this app for editing for years, it always had so many great features - but now almost everything useful is behind a paywall and the price keeps skyrocketing. It's way too expensive for what it is, unless you are actively running social media accounts and take selfies multiple times a day. I'll keep looking for a replacement. ### 3/5 — Laggy for videos *2026-07-29, version 12.15.5* I love the app but somehow I found the movement is glitchy when you do the video. For photos are fine but need improvements for the video ### 3/5 — 하 제발 좀 오류 고쳐 주세요 *2026-07-26* 진짜 메이투 꾸준하게 써오던 사람입니다 근데 갑자기 업데이트 되면서 기능 몇개들이 사라졌고 저를 보정하려하면 자꾸 딴사람이 보정되고 그러는데 이점 때문에 열받아요 진짜 오류 좀 고쳐주세요 **Developer response:** 사용자님, 이용에 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 더 나은 기능과 서비스를 제공해 드릴 수 있도록 제품 개선 및 최적화에 최선을 다하겠습니다. 번거로우시겠지만 기기 모델명, 소프트웨어 버전, 문제 발생 상황에 대한 설명과 화면 녹화 영상을 앱에서 설정(오른쪽 상단) → 도움말 & 피드백 → 피드백을 통해 보내주시면 확인 후 빠르게 안내드리겠습니다. 감사합니다. ### 2/5 — 色々惜しい *2026-07-22* インスタの投稿を作成するのに重宝しています。 画像・動画の加工や文字入れ、アフレコ編集などの機能をよく使います。 アプリをよく使うし幅広く使いたいと思い課金していますが、プランがたくさんあり過ぎて分かりづらいです。（数十種類くらい？） また、それぞれの機能が惜しいと感じることが多いです。 ・日本語未対応のフォントが多い （もっと日本語対応のオシャレで可愛いフォント増やして欲しい） ・日本語対応のアフレコボイスが少ない （動画に入った音声を文字起こし、変声させられるようにもして欲しい。） ・テキストに関して単語や文章を婉曲？させるアートはあるものの、角度の編集は出来ない。 ・静止画の編集にあるテキストアートは動画編集の方にもあるとは限らない。 ・動画編集のコラージュなど基本的にcanvaのようにオシャレな編集は出来ない。 ・フォントやフィルターは静止画・動画共にお気に入り登録出来るが、コラージュのテンプレ等なぜかお気に入り登録出来ない項目がある。 ・動画に関してはいつも自分で使う項目をテンプレ保存出来ない。 今パッと浮かぶものだけでこんな感じです。 使ってる最中にまた思う所がいくつか出てくると思います。 AI加工や顔加工などは充実してると思いますが、SNS投稿の作成に関してはあと一歩足りない印象が拭えないです💦 **Developer response:** いつもMeituをご愛用いただき、また具体的で貴重なご意見をありがとうございます。日本語フォントやアフレコボイス、テキスト編集、動画コラージュ、お気に入り・テンプレート保存など、いただいたご要望は今後の機能改善における大切な参考とさせていただきます。より使いやすいSNSコンテンツ制作環境を提供できるよう努めてまいります。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t save images but only Ads!!! *2026-08-26, version 12.17.0* Worst app ever! Gets stuck on endless ads when trying to save images. It’s not even a fraction of what it used to be anymore. Might as well call it ads player instead of photo editor. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-22, version 12.17.0* Too many ads even slow down the app ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-20, version 12.17.0* They don’t give you a free trial they automatically charge you do not get this app ### 1/5 — Ruined a Good Thing *2026-08-19, version 12.17.0* The app is plenty of really useful and impressive photo editing tools, but the latest stuff they’ve done with AI really bogs it down. Not to mention the ads before and after every edit have become insufferable ### 1/5 — Watch out the free trail and auto renewal *2026-08-18, version 12.17.0* Meitu has been charging me a weekly fee of $8.49 without my permission for more than 6 months. Watch out. ### 1/5 — Ads make this app unusable now *2026-08-08, version 12.16.0* Used to really like this app for photo editing, lots of choice of filters and beauty editing tools. Now 80% of the tools are paid and you have to watch ads when you 1) open the app and 2) when you want to save your picture. Clicking off these ads is literally impossible? The X button disappears and forces you to go to the app store of whatever trash game app they’re advertising. The user experience is just awful now. Finally uninstalled today - you’ve lost a loyal user. ### 1/5 — trash *2026-08-04, version 12.16.0* Every action requires watching an ad. The ai features are so slow. It takes forever to process a single image. Batch processing is completely useless. ### 1/5 — tệ *2026-08-02, version 12.16.0* app càng ngày càng ngu ### 1/5 — scam *2026-08-02, version 12.16.0* the quality isn’t free anymore don’t get the app ### 1/5 — Way too many commercials *2026-07-21, version 12.15.0* The free version is pretty much unusable. Need to watch two minutes commercials to get anything done. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BEST EDITING APP EVER *2026-09-01, version 12.17.0* so easy to use, every feature is amazing, so many free trials to use the premium features (and there’s not even that many), the ads are only like 5 seconds and it’s only when you save a photo. i never write reviews for apps but seriously i love them 🫶 ### 5/5 — Easy and Cool *2026-08-30, version 12.17.0* Meitu beautifies photos easily within seconds. ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2026-08-14, version 12.16.0* Works for what I need it for ! ### 5/5 — BEST APP FOR EDITING *2026-08-12, version 12.16.0* My friend from China showed it to me and I honestly haven’t gone back to any other editing app ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-08-05, version 12.16.0* This app probably been the best app I use for editing my photos for my camera roll, definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — 메이크업 오류좀 고쳐주세요 *2026-08-01* 몇년째 정말 잘 쓰고 있었는데 며칠전부터 메이크업 기능이 작동이 안되네요 VIP까지 사용중인데 이건 좀 아니지 않나요…. **Developer response:** 사용자님, 이용에 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 더 나은 기능과 서비스를 제공해 드릴 수 있도록 제품 개선 및 최적화에 최선을 다하겠습니다. 번거로우시겠지만 기기 모델명, 소프트웨어 버전, 문제 발생 상황에 대한 설명과 화면 녹화 영상을 앱에서 설정(오른쪽 상단) → 도움말 & 피드백 → 피드백을 통해 보내주시면 확인 후 빠르게 안내드리겠습니다. 감사합니다. ### 5/5 — BEST AND IS A MUST HAVE *2026-07-28, version 12.15.5* Literally have never had an app this useful to me EVER! I didn't even know that my photos were bad until i got it! It great for fixing and doing little touch ups on photos and selfies! Or you could literally change your entire identity and become a different person! 🤣 no joke btw ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-07-27, version 12.15.5* The only app I use ### 5/5 — 업데이트 된건가요? *2026-07-19* 메이투 구독하고나서 17프러로 폰 바꾸고, 사진 엄청 찍고 꾸미고 합니다. 근데 도구에서 사진 좌우 반전 시켜서 꾸며서 비율맞추기를 종종 해왔는데 요즘은 반대 사진으로 바꾸고, 리터치로 슬림하려고하면 슬림할때만 다시 또 원본으로 돌아가요. 치고나면 다시 반대로 돌아가고.. 문제는 그 반전인 상태에서 비율 맞추려고 하는 건데 ㅠㅠ어떻게 안되나요? **Developer response:** 사용자님, 이용에 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 더 나은 기능과 서비스를 제공해 드릴 수 있도록 제품 개선 및 최적화에 최선을 다하겠습니다. 번거로우시겠지만 기기 모델명, 소프트웨어 버전, 문제 발생 상황에 대한 설명과 화면 녹화 영상을 앱에서 설정(오른쪽 상단) → 도움말 & 피드백 → 피드백을 통해 보내주시면 확인 후 빠르게 안내드리겠습니다. 감사합니다. ### 5/5 — 非常好的一款修图软件 *2026-07-16, version 12.13.5* 最喜欢的一款修图软件 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
