Absolutamente excepcional.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Potential needs fixing

*2024-06-29, version 1.72*

1. App needs to remember last used setting, frustrating to navigate - select still camera, filter group then filter

2. User can store setting but this doesn’t work. Just crashes app.

### 2/5 — Not able to save video in Gold version

*2023-12-23, version 1.72*

The functionality and number of filters is great, but I have not been able to save anything that I’ve processed through this tool. It is disappointing.

### 3/5 — Nice but importing videos crashes app

*2025-01-05*

This is a nice app for turning images to black and white!  It crashes, however when attempting to import videos. And your support website comes back as a security threat

### 3/5 — Most important feature is missing.

*2023-06-15, version 1.72*

A black and white photo app without film grain? Also no basic editing like fade, sharpening etc. Filters are good though.

### 3/5 — Оплата

*2023-05-25*

Здравствуйте. Оплатила gold но ничего не работает. Деньги списались, приложение не открывает доп фильтры.

**Developer response:** Пожалуйста, попробуйте с помощью кнопки «Восстановить», жалоб от других пользователей нет, так что это должно работать. В противном случае используйте «Настройки», «Контакты», чтобы связаться со мной напрямую.

### 4/5 — Monotone

*2024-12-28*

Sometimes it does black-and-white videos sometimes it doesn’t

### 4/5 — 😭

*2022-08-21*

It's a charge to upgrade to 1.55. It's better not to upgrade.

### 5/5 — Best of the bunch

*2026-04-24*

I have seven different apps for converting images to B&W and Monotone is the best by far. Most of the time I just use the B&W function with sliders for red, yellow, green, blue, cyan and magenta. That just works so well. And then you have many presets for many film emulsions and toning. The simple set of sliders usually does it for me.

### 5/5 — “Subscription not found” problem

*2025-09-21*

Please fix this issue for me: subscription not found (I purchased lifetime subscription). Please help me.

Love you guys. A beautiful and flexible photo editing app. Would definitely recommend this application.

### 5/5 — KERENNN

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Quick and very easy

*2022-12-29*

This is a great little app.
Black and white is a lost art form that has not lost its luster.
I recommend this app highly.

### 5/5 — I just don’t believe…

*2022-12-08, version 1.63*

The magic of this app.
The easy way to operate.
The fantastic results.
The almost endless combinations.
STOP buying overpriced cameras to obtain the so-called Colour Combinations. This app offers better access, options and results.

### 5/5 — Nicely Done

*2022-11-17*

Carbon 12 is one of the best Black &White conversions out there.  Nicely done.

### 5/5 — A beautiful and flexible photo editing app

*2022-08-24*

Love you guys. A beautiful and flexible photo editing app. Would definitely recommend this application.

### 5/5 — The king in grey

*2022-06-14, version 1.53*

Got this on a whim, as a promo, and didn’t expect it to be so good. Basically, the king of everything greyscale. Works well with stills or videos. Dozens of presets and very tweakble easy to use interface. Well worth adding to any graphics/ photography collection

### 5/5 — La mejor para procesado de fotografías en blanco y negro

*2022-04-03, version 1.52*

Increíbles filtros para obtener los mejores resultados en blanco y negro.

### 5/5 — Keren

*2022-02-12, version 1.52*

Sangat sesuai dengan kebutuhan saya.
Thanks
