PLENTY of freebies out there. ### 1/5 — Paid for vip *2020-07-19, version 5.4* Paid for VIP. WONT WORK. ### 1/5 — Incomprensibile! *2020-07-10, version 5.4* Sarebbe interessante, ma nonostante il pagamento dei 6,49 euro per la versione promozionale alcuni effetti e funzioni restano sempre bloccati ...?? Mi sento un tantino abbindolato ... ### 1/5 — Subscription didn’t remove annoying ads *2020-06-20, version 5.4* Purchased annual subscription (VIP) but I still cannot remove the watermark or the annoying ads. Frustrating when doesn’t deliver as promised. Wasted my money ### 1/5 — Used to like it *2020-06-18, version 5.4* Give me my money back. I can’t even use what crapy filters are left after your big update. The back button doesn’t work. I wish I could rate 0 stars and impose a fine for messing it all up. Ugh. Deleting. It’s poo. ### 1/5 — THIEVES *2020-05-08, version 5.4* I’ve never downloaded an app that took your money and did not even give you the service they suggest !!! Did not unlock the-so called “VIP” I even emailed them but no response.. I’m filing a case against them in apple to get a refund !!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!! It’s not even worst this 1 star ### 1/5 — Worst App! *2020-04-30, version 5.4* I don’t want to spend a lot of time writing a review about this crappy app. It simply is one of the worst apps on the planet. ### 1/5 — VIP doesn’t work *2020-04-21, version 5.4* VIP subscription does not work. ### 1/5 — App doesnt work *2020-04-07, version 5.4* Purchase VIP yearly access and doesnt unlock the VIP features....false advertising ### 3/5 — It’s ok but vip doesn’t work *2020-04-06, version 5.4* Paid for vip but it doesn’t work disappointed as I use the app a lot :( ### 1/5 — Not happy *2020-03-14, version 5.4* I bought the become VIP. And although it says it is supposed to be unlocked but I can’t do anything. It says I have the subscription until March 8,2021. Nothing works except what I had with the free version ### 1/5 — VIP-Account setzt sich nicht um *2020-02-20, version 5.4* Trotz gekauftem und bezahltem Jahres-Abo keine Entfernung des Wasserzeichens und der Werbung und keine Freischaltung weiterer Funktionen! Auf entsprechende E-Mail-Anfragen keine Reaktion! 😡 Kurz: reine Abzocke! ### 1/5 — Sibscription appears to be Scam *2019-12-20, version 5.4* I paid for a subscription after the trial. Every “VIP” effect was still unavailable and sent me to the subscription page again. I finally unsubscribed because I could not use the features I “subscribed” to. Big waste of money. ### 1/5 — Nicht wirklich gratis. *2019-12-11, version 5.3* Das Testen nervt schon wegen der Werbung. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-05-04, version 5.9* Does not create a positive from a negative. Creator does not reply when asked for assistance. No instructions. An absolute waste of time, zero stars. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2022-01-31, version 5.7* App loads but no effects work. ### 1/5 — Worst waste of time ever *2021-10-21, version 5.7* It is so bad that even tho it will only waste 2 mins if your time to download it try it and delete it, it will still be your biggest regret as you lay on your death bed ### 1/5 — Nope nope nope *2021-10-03, version 5.7* Would give 0 out of 5 if it was possible. Very bad app- don’t waste your time on trying it. Very bad, ver bad app… ### 1/5 — No good *2021-06-08, version 5.7* Wants money before it will invert a single photo. Deleting it. ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2021-04-12, version 5.7* Damn it. Lost $1.49 for nothing. I guess if a million people fall for it, they make a million bucks.... ### 1/5 — Nul *2021-02-07, version 5.6* C’est impressionnant comment ça sert à rien l’appli... ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2021-02-04, version 5.6* It didn’t seem to work. I thought I had to pay the $5.99 subscription. I did and it still doesn’t work. There are no instructions and it doesn’t do what the name implies. No one should buy this. It is pure garbage. ### 1/5 — Superschlecht *2020-12-28, version 5.6* Man kann mit dem Ding keine Fotos bearbeiten. ### 1/5 — Grand n’importe quoi *2020-12-04, version 5.6* App ne sert à rien ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple interface *2022-11-23, version 5.9* Works as intended 👍 ### 5/5 — Fácil y rápida de usar. *2022-03-17, version 5.7* No es automática (tienes que “pintar” encima de la foto que quieres cambiar), pero es muy sencilla. No me han saltado anuncios en el modo free para pasar a negativo. ### 5/5 — A little or a lot *2021-05-16, version 5.7* I love how you can brush a little negativity on a photo or a lot. You can brush half the picture as a negative and leave the other half untouched. Since the VIP was 87% off at $5.99 for a year. I got the one year VIP. ### 5/5 — Paid £2.99 and got nothing! *2019-10-22, version 5.3* Paid £2.99 to become a VIP and access additional material. Money taken but still says become a VIP!! Emailed the app owner three times but no response. AVOID this app or at least DONT PAY! ### 5/5 — does the job *2019-08-07, version 5.3* i normally don’t leave reviews but this app is getting too much hate this app does what i needed it to do- make my photos negative there are a lot of pop up ads and it does leave a watermark (theres ways to get around that tho) but its super easy to use and my photos looks really nice it does what i expected it to do and i’m actually really satisfied if you’re kinda iffy on the subject, just try it you’ll see for yourself ### 5/5 — Watermark *2019-01-01, version 5.1* The only issue I have with the app is the watermark in the corner but I used photoshop to get rid of it and I was just fine ### 5/5 — Just fabulous! *2018-03-10, version 4.5* Looking for such an app for a long time. Created negative in just a second. Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Super *2017-10-30, version 4.0* Parfait ### 5/5 — Outstanding! *2017-06-18, version 4.0* Very easy software to use for non-technical people. for the technical type you'll have this master in less than 60 seconds. I will be paying for this app. ### 5/5 — Memories brought to life. *2017-04-19, version 4.0* I found this app yesterday after I found old family negatives. Using my iPad as a light box I used this app to photograph the negative. Then the bit I love....... choose a large brush size and rub over the screen with your finger.......... and all is revealed. Never before seen photos of myself as a baby. Love it. Memory lane here I come. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
