I’ll cancel my subscription ### 1/5 — Ridiculous! *2018-11-23, version 2.4* Used to be my absolute favorite edit app. All of a sudden it requires a paid subscription! And it’s not cheap either! Really ridiculous. Seems like the new paid version does not even have the same features either! So so mad. Just ridiculous to mess with a good thing ### 2/5 — Ugh *2018-11-15, version 2.4* I had this app when it was free . Loved it . I got a new phone and had to buy the app and the app has been crashing and freezing since I bought it I haven’t even used it once. Very disappointed and now I don’t know how to cancel my subscription. ### 1/5 — Terrible Quality & over priced *2018-10-29, version 2.4* First it ruins the quality of your photos. Second you can get better results with Facetune and for half the price. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2018-10-04, version 2.4* There are too many free or nearly free picture editors out there for this to be a rational purchase. This app appears to be free with in-app purchases from the App Store, but it turns out you can’t use it at all without purchasing a subscription once you open the app. I deleted the app and went back to all the other makeup/selfie editor apps I already have. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2018-09-20, version 2.4* This used to be my favorite app to touch up photos! Now it has problems loading pictures other weird glitches- touch up looks grey now??? And then started charging for it and it’s worse than it was! Very disappointed that they somehow made it worse and expensive. ### 1/5 — Disappointed... *2018-09-19, version 2.4* As a loyal paying Anthropics Portrait Pro customer, I'm very disappointed that I'm required to pay a subscription to use their mobile app... Makes me reconsider my loyalty when I'm not feeling valued in return. ### 1/5 — Noooo Way ! *2018-08-24, version 2.4* You’ve gotta be crazy to think I’m gonna subscribe to a selfie app LOL ### 1/5 — No way to try before buying *2018-08-24, version 2.4* Thought this looked potentially very good, so installed it. No idea whether it’s any good, because the first thing you get presented with is a sign-up screen (for £5, £27.49 or £65). Uninstalled it immediately. It’ll give it another go if there’s a free trial without having to commit to purchasing it first. ### 1/5 — Really? *2018-08-24, version 2.4* $70 for a mobile app? 👎🏾 ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2018-08-23, version 2.4* You are led to believe that you are getting a trial period. But you find out that it’s a VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE program. You have to sign up and agree to a paid plan then cancel before the date arrives. A very under handed way to attract customers. Plus this program isn’t worth what that price. ### 1/5 — It’s not free anymore?? *2018-08-14, version 2.3* I had this app for a few years and loved the photo editing that it did. I used it on almost every photo I would take of myself,family etc. but it was totally free. Now,you’re going to charge an outrageous monthly amount?? No way....it’s not that great. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2018-08-03, version 2.2* Absolutely rubbish as soon as u get the app it asks you to pick a plan which you have to pay for ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WILL NOT OPEN *2025-05-09, version 2.5* I can’t get it to open up at all ### 1/5 — Quirks *2021-08-16, version 2.5* The app has too many quirks. Once a picture is selected there is no way to start over. Any time you pull the same picture it goes back to the one you previously started even if it was never saved. Doesn’t give option to select nose and chin on every photo and can’t go back to select them once bypassed. Needs more functionality. The editing is good if it works the way it’s supposed to but that’s not often. ### 1/5 — No mention here that there is a subscription fee *2021-07-08, version 2.5* Be warned ### 1/5 — Make it free *2020-01-03, version 2.5* Make this app free because I won’t get it if it’s not free ### 1/5 — Not the same *2019-08-14, version 2.5* I have used this app for years I don’t know what you did to it but it distorts my face. I always used the auto correct when you touch the nose. I always looked like myself. Why would you change a app that isn’t half as good as the first one you created. My photo’s were bright and it made the makeup colors on my face pop. I paid for something that can not use. Why would you change professional app to an app that is totally useless. Unbelievable!!! I will be get my money back. ### 1/5 — Scam *2019-05-27, version 2.5* This app is a total rip off. They make it so hard to cancel your subscription they give you 7 days to cancel then they will charge you the highest subscription price they have The iTunes will never give you their name when you see it on PayPal I have got to get away from iTunes ### 1/5 — waste of time *2019-05-22, version 2.5* An absolute waste of time even bothering to try to download it. Once I realised you could only use it if you paid I went to click out of the app and nearly ended up scanning away $109... I don’t understand at all why they even made it so expensive - just stick to airbrush etc 🤷‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Payment *2019-01-07, version 2.4* I signed up for monthly payments and you’ve taken the whole amount I want to cancel and get a refund how do I do this!! ### 1/5 — Don’t get it *2018-12-22, version 2.4* Free my a%%....lol, can’t do anything in this app at all, unless you pay them a subscription of $100 pr year,lol... No wonder there’s no reviews, no one has used it,lol...and never will this way.. ### 1/5 — Consider providing a discount for those that already have your PortraitPro for desktop. *2018-12-06, version 2.4* From loyal PortraitPro customer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2018-09-05, version 2.4* Love Mira✨ Brilliant and fabulous app for touch ups. 💖 ### 5/5 — Great for quick fixes *2018-08-29, version 2.4* Love it. I use it to enhance people or objects beauty. I don’t change people fixtures but I make them look their best ! ### 5/5 — Retoques *2018-08-04, version 2.2* Muy buena aplicación ### 5/5 — Please cancel, there is no way to reach this company *2018-06-29, version 2.1* Cancel ### 5/5 — Please refund *2018-06-22, version 2.1* Hi I am asking you to please refund my purchase as the app was accidentally purchased by my child! Thanks you ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2018-10-21, version 2.4* But not worth the yearly rate, or even a monthly subscription when I already have two apps much better and not as pricey. But I’m sure they can improve on it. So my review will be flexible. ### 3/5 — Falta modelado de nariz *2018-07-21, version 2.2* Hecho de menos la posibilidad de modelar la nariz ### 2/5 — Crashes *2021-11-09, version 2.5* The app will stay on a “loading” type screen unless I delete and re download the app or just come back to it later. It’s happened for years. Also the resolution of the image goes down and no other editing apps do that to my images except this one which is more expensive. ### 2/5 — Needs to some work because...blurry *2020-11-26, version 2.5* Anthropics makes my favorite retouch software on PC so I was excited to try this app. It does some things relatively well (like the telighting feature) and is relatively simple to use but has some annoying quirks. Like what's with the white flash when comparing the original to the edited version. It's distracting and confusing. Either turn that off or make it a pref. Snapseed already mailed this. You just long-press anywhere to view the original in that app. It's better. Also the app focuses a bit much on overglamorized makeup presets for women. They never look natural to me so I do everything manually. The end result is usually soft and a bit obviously blurry anyway. (Believe it or not FaceApp on its lowest settings looks way more natural and sharper) I'm really really missing the nose editing and forehead length editing features from the full desktop version. That's the two things that seem to affect my face the most. ### 2/5 — Stops working *2019-11-19, version 2.5* Very hard to use. Stops working and takes forever to restore --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
