### 3/5 — It’s cool

*2026-08-07*

I love the cameras and all but it’s super expensive plus there’s not a lot of camera options so you need to pay just to unlock the rest while you only have like 3 options

### 4/5 — 相机预览效果

*2026-06-11*

拍摄的时候看不出来效果 每更换一个相机都希望能在按下录制之前知道大概效果 再进行调试 但都是一样的不知道是不是卡bug了 很影响拍摄的体验

### 4/5 — Great for those who don’t have digi cams

*2026-04-14*

It’s a nice tool which gives camera like effect. I love the vibes

### 3/5 — Ok

*2026-04-04, version 2.5.3*

La aplicación esta bien, la mejor para tomar fotos videos y blogs pero si pudieran de dejar de ser hambriados un poco seria mejor 🤗💖

### 2/5 — 애플에서 삼성으로

*2026-03-24*

아이폰 쓰는동안 그냥 평생 이용권 Life time을 구매해서 썼는데 삼성 갤럭시로 바꾸면서 이 어플을 사용하고 있는 내 개인 계정이 없었다는 것을 뒤늦게 깨닫고 삼성 갤럭시 폰에서 사용을 못하고 있는 중.. Contect us 로 문의를 보내봤지만 몇 주간 답장이 없음.. 
삼성 갤럭시로 바꾸면 Life time을 또 사야되는것인가..? ㅠㅠ 해결 좀 부탁

我的实况拍摄，竖屏拍成像后会变成横屏，横屏拍会变成竖屏，发邮件反馈也没有得到恢复，希望可以得到解决，谢谢

### 1/5 — .

*2025-12-26, version 2.5.3*

if i could give 0 stars i would. is there even a free filter or two? why can’t we preview how others look so we know what we’re actually buying?

### 1/5 — .

*2025-12-02, version 2.5.3*

is there even any free ones?

### 1/5 — can barely use without paying

*2025-10-31*

if you don’t want to pay, don’t bother getting this app. you have to pay for almost every single filter. and the few that are free are not great

### 1/5 — Кошмар

*2025-09-23*

Пользовалась полгода, сделали платным теперь не буду им пользоваться, если вернут бесплатную то продолжу, а пока, удалю. никому не советую

### 1/5 — 환불 안됨

*2025-08-05*

환불이 안되네요..ㅡㅡ

### 1/5 — Data Hoarder

*2025-07-01*

Sells a lot of your data to other companies

### 1/5 — It keeps freezing up

*2025-03-09*

I tried to reopening the app, I tried reinstalling the app, but it doesn’t work, the apps camera just freezes up and the front camera doesn’t even work. I was really hoping to use this app bro😭

### 1/5 — Would not recommend .

*2025-01-31, version 2.4*

Literally only like 3-4 filters on this app are free. They make you pay for all the good filters . Just use the app “dazz cam”. That app is wayyy better.

### 1/5 — 选图片的时候图片会随机跳转

*2024-11-27*

选择照片导入的时候会自动给你跳转到别的照片上 很难选到自己想要的那张
