### 5/5 — Love fx

*2019-06-29, version 1.3.8*

But latest update has shutter sound and no where to disable this.

### 5/5 — I love this app.

*2018-02-27, version 1.3.7*

When I run out of ideas, this is my go to app for inspiration.

Cheers,
James.

### 1/5 — In app purchases????

*2018-01-24, version 1.3.7*

I love this app but I also will not spend $.99 for the in app purchases... you have a deal on your front page from a year ago but I can’t figure out how to access it ...$1.99 for all the extras instead of 4.99. But either way I still can’t figure out how to purchase those can you give me any help please?  I would like to purchase all the extras for $1.99. Also I can’t figure out how to contact you to tell you this without sending it in a review. If you contact me and help me with this It would definitely improve your score and I would give you at least four stars!!!!

### 1/5 — Pathetic.l

*2017-11-25, version 1.3.7*

Nothing has changed at all.!!  Still ‘VERY’ limited set of Filters in comparison to other Apps, plus the assumption is made that their choice is what you want?
No sliders to alter, look elsewhere..
You’ve been warned..

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-08-06, version 1.3*

A brilliant app with lovely textures.
Please update with some more textures - thank you!

### 3/5 — UPDATE

*2015-02-03, version 1.3*

The app crashes immediately after new Apple update. Please fix.

### 1/5 — What app?

*2014-10-24, version 1.2.0*

Crashes immediately.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2014-09-07, version 1.2.0*

Cannot launch it

### 3/5 — In-App Purchases

*2014-04-04, version 1.2.0*

I like the basic app, but there are an additional 25 filters, but I am not going to pay $1 for each. I see there is a pack for $5.00 but it only includes 9 filters. The price is too high, and I can't figure out how to buy the 9 available. I hate in-app purchases.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2013-12-29, version 1.2.0*

I take good photographs, but Monovu turns them into something special. The app is easy and fun to use and is so far my favourite tool for use in editing photos.
