Did not keep past an hour of the free trial. Idea is there but the execution is bad (on iPhone 11) **Developer response:** Could you e-mail me your error? I can update soon! ### 3/5 — Confusing *2020-02-21, version 1.8.11* I think the app is a good idea and neon text on the samples looks kind of cool. I was considering a purchase, but it does not look quite user friendly and I could not try anything and make it work. Also I normally try the app and create a couple of art works and see if it works for me, but I can not see a free trial or there is literally zero 0 fee templates ? If you look at other apps, you normally have simple free templates and more cool paid ones, which does make sense. As you try simple ones and want to have more and you buy them and upgrade when you test it and see what you are actually paying for. Here I can not upload anything in my album and everything in this app you can use is premium only. It looks like gives you two options - choose from the stock or from your album, but you can’t open any album? And 100% of stock is premium and paid..? I can’t even know if I pay and if it will be good and there will be no watermarks and if it works properly, etc... So why saying that the app is free in the first place? I think it’s misleading and I am not sure how Apple store could approve this. ### 3/5 — Good neons but like to do more. *2019-11-07* Developer responded can I email you. But no email. For Instagram. When you choosing a size. Have an option called Instagram. And if you can’t use that word for legal reasons. Maybe call IGP, for Instagram posts. 😉 **Developer response:** Thank you for your opinion! Do you have any ideas to match Instagram? Can you e-mail it to me? We'll update it conveniently for users. ### 3/5 — I like this *2019-11-01* But the price for devices should never match a desktop app. These mobile devices have limitations and if we don’t update or change devices there is the very real possibility of having no access whatsoever. Nothing to show for our purchase, a desktop primary and mobile secondary should be the norm. **Developer response:** Hello! It is difficult to understand your inquiry. Can we discuss this in detail by e-mail? I look forward to hearing from you. ### 2/5 — Does not work with screenshots *2019-10-25, version 1.8.8* I put neon on screenshot and when I save video the background is black with just neon showing animation. What is your email? ### 4/5 — Great! But needs improvement... *2019-10-22* The edits are amazing, but when I get the end picture, it is always blurry :( **Developer response:** What part is blurred? Can you e-mail it to me? Thank You! ### 3/5 — Remove logo *2019-10-13* I loved the app. However, I didn’t like that the logo was still on my paid videos. Deleted the app. **Developer response:** You can turn off the logo from the setup. Try it! ### 4/5 — Please *2019-09-26, version 1.8.4* Reduce the price for one time purchase it is very expensive ### 3/5 — Bug *2019-08-25, version 1.7.3* Love. The. App. However I’ve been getting this bug that makes the template flipped upside down (texts are fine). Pls fix it :) **Developer response:** It will be updated next week. Please wait! Thank you for using challa NEON :) ### 2/5 — Fault has developed *2019-07-19, version 1.7.3* I love this App... but now a lot of the movies, when saved, come out backwards/upside down. I’m always scared to install new updates, in case it stops working properly... :o( ### 4/5 — Cant make photos *2019-07-09* Great app. But how do you use it to make photos instead? Seems like it can only create videos **Developer response:** It's still only video. If it's updated soon, it'll be possible with photo. Please look forward to it. Thank you for using challa NEON :) ### 1/5 — Please Update your app *2019-07-02, version 1.7.1* Ppl actually like this app and I do also. Fix the bugs before some else takes the idea and Takes all your App users. ### 2/5 — Not easy to use.. *2019-06-21* I’m still trying to figure out how to write my own words... I wish I could pick the font, background, decals, effects etc **Developer response:** Hi, I'm challa NEON. Font, background, size and so on can all be modified. Is it difficult to use it? You can see how to use it on YouTube. Search "challa NEON Tutorial". Please e-mail me a question at any time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is a SCAM *2022-03-15, version 2.0.3* I paid $70 for this app to go AD Free as advertised. This is a lie. This is a scam. Ads do not go away. Watermarks and restrictions do not go away. I was ripped off. BUYER BEWARE! ### 1/5 — Needs lots of improvements *2022-02-07, version 2.0.3* This app needs way more things done to improve it. It needs a delete button to remove unwanted items. It also needs water mark removed which isn't removed on some backgrounds. The backgrounds with neon writing already on them you can’t use how you want to, as the neon writing is already placed there. You should be given an option to remove neon writing on those backgrounds. More choice of backgrounds option’s. It certainly isn’t worth $70 I paid the monthly price & when it is up I will be removing this app. Sorry but this app needs lots of improvements for anyone to pay that ridiculous price. 👍🏻 ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2021-12-19, version 2.0.3* Paid for the subscription and I cannot even get past the “press restoration to use your service purchased”. Constant ads. Glitching. How is this a 4+ star app? ### 1/5 — After Purchasing App access was denied. No response from developers. *2021-08-17* Save your money. After purchasing no access was permitted and even the free options didn’t work. I really wish this wasn’t a scam. Such a cool concept for an app. ### 1/5 — No way to use this unless you pay *2019-12-31, version 1.8.11* You can’t even create a basic sign w/o a subscription. Not worth the monthly fee. ### 1/5 — Not thing is free *2019-12-12, version 1.8.11* Free trial but trademark under the background. And Lag too. I am using iphone 8 plus ### 1/5 — Wow *2019-11-17, version 1.8.9* Dont do it, stay away from the neon sign, its all in Chinese or something and WORST App to navigate, i basically needed a hammer to press ‘ok’. Waste of time & money. ### 1/5 — ??? *2019-08-29* I've bought the packs previously, but they are locked after this update. I'll have to again buy subscription to have acess to what i already paid for??? ridiculous. **Developer response:** We've added a lot of new “free templates”. We also have events that are available for free during the period. Try challa NEON again and give us feedback! ### 1/5 — Now a subscription? *2019-08-29* So I’m getting real sick of these apps asking for subs. I just got an iTunes gift card and was about to purchase the whole lot for the reasonable price of 3.99 only to force update and can’t because they’re implementing a new “subscription” service. The whole thing used to be good now they got greedy. Smh please change it back **Developer response:** Thank you for waiting. Purchase error has been corrected. Please update to version 1.8.1 of challa NEON. The previously purchased service can be used by pressing the "RESTORATION" button. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Too many issues *2019-07-25* It’s s cool concept, but not easy to edit, you can’t move location and edit colors and change fonts, and you get only 2 styles free, rest you’ll have to pay. **Developer response:** We've added a lot of new “free templates”. We also have events that are available for free during the period. Try challa NEON again and give us feedback! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-03-29, version 2.0.3* I absolutely love this app. I’ve been using it a while.
