Non capisco il perché. Non ha molto senso ed è un peccato. ### 3/5 — Apps is cool but… *2024-12-22, version 1.8.1* It seems that if you don't activate the audio before exporting the videos, they won't have any audio. Too bad, I exported a bunch of videos thinking they had audio, and now that I've deleted them from the app right after exporting, I’m left with useless videos. Man, you really should explain this properly. ### 5/5 — Underrated…deserves more attention!! *2024-12-08, version 1.8.1* Use it everyday…allows you to explore the world in a whole new way ❤️ ### 5/5 — Nception *2024-12-01, version 1.8.1* Cooles Tool , es kommt immer wieder was anderes raus. Ich liebe es! ### 3/5 — Проблемы после обновления ОС *2024-11-18, version 1.8.0* Приложение классное! Но после обновления до iOS 18 появились проблемы после сохранения фото/видео. Сохраняется с дополнительным существенным затемнением. Приложение стало бесполезным. Очень жду, когда получится пофиксить. В дополнение хотелось бы иметь ползунок, который позволял бы применять фильтр не на 100%. ### 5/5 — very good *2024-10-27, version 1.8.0* cool app ### 5/5 — Coole Sache *2024-09-24, version 1.6.12* Hilfreich wenn man gerne was Neues ausprobieren möchte. Oder Spiegelungen usw. In Fotos-Videos einbauen möchte. Easy to use. ### 4/5 — Fix *2024-05-03, version 1.6.12* When the internet is turned off, purchased effects cannot be used ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2024-04-18, version 1.6.12* Never ending FUN! ### 5/5 — So fun and easy to use *2024-03-30, version 1.6.12* What a great app!! It really bends and distorts reality and allows me to be creative so easily. Well worth the cost! ### 5/5 — Legal Fun! *2024-02-09, version 1.6.12* This app will tickle your sense of wonder and imagination and encourage you to see differently. You’ll be wowed! ### 5/5 — Essential *2024-01-26, version 1.6.12* One of those apps you just have to have bc to not have it would mean you just deny awesome stuff that’s obviously been created from your specific string frequency or something, so; kismet & everything. Thank you. I ❤️ your app. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2023-11-28, version 1.6.11* very nice effects ### 5/5 — This is way cool!!!!! *2023-10-26, version 1.6.11* I love it! ### 5/5 — Great App & Great App support *2023-10-07, version 1.6.11* I enjoy exploring the many ways to create interesting photos in this app. The app support is also exceptional. Thanks again Mikael. ### 4/5 — Continua ad essere la migliore ma… *2023-09-05, version 1.6.9* 🥇Una ottima app per coloro che desiderano realizzare affascinanti visioni foto/cinematografiche alternative Manca solo la funzione che permetta, in fase di editing (non in fase di scatto..), di modificare il punto dell’effetto che attualmente è fisso. (Spero di trovarlo in un futuro aggiornamento🙏🙏🙏) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tracking? *2024-05-12, version 1.6.12* Although I have paid for the app, does it only work properly when I am online? Can you explain this to me? What do you do with my data? Why can't I use the app full when I'm offline? Why is the app only activated when I am online? Why can't I use it 100% offline? Can you explain this to me? Can you programme the app so that it also works offline? Is that a violation of my human rights? ### 1/5 — Nception doesn’t work after iPad update *2023-10-01, version 1.6.10* I love this app and use it all the time but it stopped working following my 16.7 update on the iPad. I updated to 17 and it still doesn’t work. The app opens but when I try to upload an image, it won’t allow me to select the image I want and then it freezes. Please help! ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-09-29, version 1.6.10* Okay I paid for these features and the app doesn’t even work because I can’t access the bottom part of the screen it won’t allow me to click on the imports video or options at the bottom of the screen of my iPhone ### 1/5 — pay and pay again *2023-09-07, version 1.6.9* i bought the app, opened app, app wants me to pay another £2 to u lock all the features, is this a bug or ripoff? i'm not paying twice ### 1/5 — Purchase problems *2023-07-01, version 1.6.8* I already purchased this app, but now some items are locked on my new phone. and when I tap on the restore purchase, it crashes. ### 1/5 — I bought the app and now I have to pay again? *2023-05-31, version 1.6.7* What is this? I bought this app some time ago and haven’t used it regularly. Today I’ve opened it and it seems that I have to buy some of the filters again? Smells like scam! ### 1/5 — Смена политики *2023-03-25, version 1.6.7* Купил приложение, спустя некоторое время большинство эффектов стали платными. Интересная политика ### 1/5 — Update added paywall *2023-03-15, version 1.6.7* All the mirroring options used to be free, now nearly all of them have to be paid for. I loved this app because it did what I needed it to do for my photos without having to pay. Now it’s just another cash-grabbing app by cash-grabbing developer/s. ### 1/5 — Оплата *2023-02-18, version 1.6.7* Купила фильтры, было написано, что навсегда. В итоге через пару месяцев снова пишет, что нужно оплатить! ### 1/5 — Tidak bisa ekspor *2022-12-17, version 1.6.7* Bermasalah ketika ekspor hasil, tidak bisa dilihat pada galeri foto. Resolusi diatas 3000px namun size hanya 26kb (?) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Crazy Cool *2026-07-11, version 1.8.2* It’s Crazy Cool what all can b done with this app Great Job guys! ### 5/5 — Unique and beautifully designed *2026-06-11, version 1.8.2* I've been using this for years and really appreciate the work that's gone into it. Not least because it's a one-off purchase, none of that money-grabbing monthly fee stuff. Thank you. ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️ *2026-02-28, version 1.8.2* SO SIMPLE I LOVE IT ### 5/5 — THIS RULES. *2026-02-14, version 1.8.2* For an iPhone app that you can unlock the full licence for $7, I’m HYPED. I do visuals for live music & DJ’s, and make a lot of videos from the windows of public transit, so it’s awesome to have this mind-bending little tool in my phone. Easy interface, great video render quality. It’s a no-brainer 🙌 ### 5/5 — Amazing ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2025-09-05, version 1.8.2* What an amazing app; I love it SO much !! Well done, team !! 👍🏼😃 ### 5/5 — I love this app but… *2025-07-23, version 1.8.2* …..Is it possible to enable portrait/landscape mode please. I like to use the app on my iPad but can’t enable landscape which I find really frustrating. Meantime its a brilliant app anyway. Thank you. ### 5/5 — A brilliant App. *2025-06-13, version 1.8.2* What a brilliant idea. I find this app easy to use. ### 5/5 — Potent and psychedelic 🍄l *2025-05-04, version 1.6.12* Powerful and teeming with surprising quality while allowing for versatility. Never gets bitting to the artists eyes. Simple streamline and ever so user friendly. My cup of psychedelic tea ! ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-05-03, version 1.8.2* It’s so fun to play around with ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-04-05, version 1.8.2* 🔥🔥🔥 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
