Unbelievable

This app is probably the best app I’ve ever used, it’s so fun. Can’t wait to see what comes next

Nice

Add more filters and I’ll give 6 stars

,

I saw an ad for this and I bought it instantly, I love this stuff so much, I just wish there was a way to keep the original colours, I know it’s against the whole mono thing but that would make it perfect for me

Great app but slow on Ipad

A very complete and creative tool, worth every penny. A delight to use on IPhone, but for some reason very slow on Ipad (mine a 12.9inch, 5th generation). Makes it barely usable, as the whole point of the app is to play with the combinations to find something that works for you image.

Response from developer

Understood. In order to push boundaries and experiment, it takes processing. Unfortunately, an iPad that's 9 years old might not be able to keep up with some of the filters.

bug still there

love the app but the new update said it fixed the store for the filter packs but when i try to open the new filter pack it still says "store unavailable"?

Response from developer

Hi! Sorry about this! It’s not a bug. The filter pack was waiting on Apple's approval. It's now available, thank you for your patience.
