Please fix. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Crashes often *2013-05-03, version 1.2.0* Keeps crashing on iPad 3. Fix please. ### 3/5 — Nice set of filters, but.... *2012-10-27, version 1.2.0* I bought the set of filters for 99 cents. Interesting and different from some of the other apps I have, so definitely worth it for that. But I can't find any options for saving at full resolution, which for me as a professional photographer is essential to printing. It would also be nice to have an opacity slider, like many of the other apps now have. So I like this, but it definitely could be improved to compete with other apps. ### 3/5 — Nice live filter, but crashes a lot on iPhone 5 *2012-10-21, version 1.1.2* Really nice app, I use it to take black and white photos with the free filter. Live filtering is really nice. on down side is it crashes on iPhone 5 on this version, please fix it. ### 4/5 — Nice filters *2012-10-11, version 1.1.2* ...but I would like the option to change the opacity of the textures, yet still keeping the toning. ### 1/5 — Crashes!! *2012-09-30, version 1.1.2* Open app in ios6 it crashes if you don't take a picture in first 2 seconds ### 1/5 — KEEPS CRASHING! Ahh!!! *2012-09-28, version 1.1.2* Not working on iOS 6. Booo. ### 2/5 — Overpriced *2012-09-23, version 1.1.2* A freemium app with highly overpriced filters. Save your money and buy another app! ### 2/5 — Not full res *2012-09-09, version 1.1.2* Needs full resolution, currently only 3 megapixels ### 1/5 — Totally useless *2012-08-17, version 1.1.2* Takes ages to start up on iPhone 4. Filters are rough and boring. Texture of agy filters does not change from shot to shot. Total crap. ### 1/5 — Dont bother! *2012-07-31, version 1.1.0* Dream on if they think I'm going to spend $30 + for the filters. Worse photo app, nothing that instagram or photoforge2 can't do. Dont waste your time. Another photo app let down ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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.. ### 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 ### 1/5 — 3fatdogs *2013-06-02, version 1.2.0* Do not waste your money, only simplest filters are included, rest are locked to me that makes it a VERY expensive app that is not as good as others at a fraction of the price. B&W conversion is amateurish at best in my opinion ### 1/5 — Most of the effects are locked *2013-05-23, version 1.2.0* Beware, it gives you only limited options and the rest are 99c per effect. Can get much better value in other apps. ### 1/5 — Ok set of free b&w filters, but low res saves is a deal killer *2013-01-30, version 1.2.0* The app has a basic set of 10 B&W filters to tryout on this free version, and 25 more available via IAP. Each one of the "locked" filters and is $.99, $4.99 gets you all of them. The major problem for me is the low resolution saves, 1.6 mp. When starting with 10-12mp images, reducing the image that much eliminates any possibility of a decent print. The description says "high resolution" is supported by tapping the "More" button on the Library ppage. Well there is no More button! I might consider paying for more presets if I could get "full (or near-full) resolution", not some lame interpretation of "high resolution". why don't developers just state what resolution is supported in the description. I'm editing 12mp images, what do I get when I save an image? Is that too much to ask? This is a deal killer for me. I'll be deleting the free app, and watching for an update. ### 1/5 — Convoluted *2012-11-27, version 1.2.0* A piece of junk!! ### 1/5 — Filter special not applying here? *2012-10-27, version 1.2.0* Wants me to pay $5 instead of the advertised special of $1. ### 1/5 — $25 dollar app *2012-10-27, version 1.2.0* Might be a cool app, but I'll never know as I refuse to pay $25 for full functionality of the app. In all fairness there are 35 'filters', 10 of which are actually free. Every additional filter is 99¢. There are plenty of other apps that do the same for way cheaper or free. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-08-06, version 1.3* A brilliant app with lovely textures. Please update with some more textures - thank you! ### 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. ### 5/5 — I like it! *2013-04-02, version 1.2.0* I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. The option to save in Hi-res is at the bottom left, then access the options by tapping the top left with the 3 circles. I like the filters. Most of which are unique to the app. ### 5/5 — . *2012-12-10, version 1.2.0* For being free, it's a good app. Nice, and clean. ### 5/5 — Great *2012-10-26, version 1.1.2* Great app ### 5/5 — None *2012-10-22, version 1.1.2* Love it. ### 5/5 — Just What It Says It Is *2012-07-30, version 1.1.0* Like that in an app… (folks too, for that matter). Sleek and uncluttered; clean and intuitive. Filters are ten, expandable to twenty-five total. (Though it beats me how to pay to unlock such, being perhaps the only aspect ill-thought through. Seriously, how?) Regardless, those free are sufficient, indeed, warrant the download entirely. I can think of a few clever features absent, mind, only a few, hear? Don't go cluttering up such a refreshingly free (in both senses the word) app… Love it. ### 5/5 — I've been bitten, *2012-07-15, version 1.0.0* By the best app ever --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
