Mostly Useless

Does not seem as though ON1 puts in much effort with this Mobile App. You never really see anything on their Website in regard to the App. I just came to the point I don’t even try to use it anymore. Just not worth the headaches.

ON1 app

Very glitchy

ON1 Studio and I have to pay more?

I downloaded the mobile app because on one studio said I would have everything. I logged in and the first thing I see is it wants me to pay more- I guess I’m the fool.

Nowhere near the quality of desktop app

On1 Photo Raw on the iPad is basically unusable for me. Trying to add any type of mask produces a lockup and then the app just quits. Customer support says it's a "known issue" and will be fixed in a "future release". Thanks.

Okay

Needs powerful PC and app is mediocre on tablet

A sad imitation of the desktop version

I tried the desktop version and liked it so I cancelled my LR subscription and bought this. I mostly use my iPad for photo editing and this is really disappointing. LR on iPad is almost on par with the desktop version while this only has a fraction of the features of the desktop version. Where is the interface from your App Store screenshots? Where is the file browser and folder management? The heal brush is so bad it’s unusable. This app looks like someone started working on it and gave up a quarter of the way through.

No save preset

I like the App but there is no save preset option. That’s a bummer I have a paid account.

Not even for free

I own the iMac paid version which is fairly good. This one is slow and crashes all the time. Totally unusable when you are on the go,

Mo’ Money

I hate subscriptions. Thought I was buying use the app, not endless subscriptions to more pieces of the app. Paid $119 + tax last night. Tried to use tonight, immediately start getting Buy more pieces if your want to use this app. All I am able do is the same thing I can do on Apple Photos, really basic adjustments. Next, Another $40 for ON1+, whatever that is, I think is training videos. When I try to use a tool that isn’t already available to me in Apple Photos for free, the ON1 app gives me one option, buy a cloud subscription. I don’t want a cloud subscription. I want to store locally, at least until I decide if I like the app. I am fed up with subscriptions. Two stars is a generous rating for my experience with this app so far. Might be a good app, but I don’t think I’ll ever know, because I am not buying a SUBSCRIPTION to cloud storage. I already pay for cloud storage with Apple. What else are you going to try to sell me?

It’s ‘ok’

ON1 for mobile has the potential to be a really good tool in your photo editing arsenal but it’s too buggy and crashes frequently. I’m using it on an M5 iPad Pro 13inch and whenever I choose to mask an item to make local adjustments the app crashes and you have to start all over again. It’s pretty frustrating as the rest of the app is quite useable.

Does not work

Does not work with my sony A7iv raw files. Works with my Iphone photos but when I tried to edit raw files I get a blank screen. The app is very slow and is worst that basic. I been in it for an hr and cannot get it to work. App is very very glitchi

Crashes

Just crashes when I try to edit a photo

Was looking for alternative to lightroom

Zooming in and editing will cause the app to crash on my phone

Crashes 100% of the time. Utterly useless app.

I purchased the ON1 Full app for my desktop machine and decided to download the mobile app. It crashes 100% of the time I’ve tried reinstalling. I’ve rebooted multiple times. I’m running the most recent iPad Pro so system resources should not be an issue. The app is completely unusable and useless.

STILL Not even a value add vs. desktop

November 2025. ON1: Basic UI glitches like being unable to tap the X to close the new filter dialog on modern iPhones. No support for arguably the only differentiating feature of ON1: their AI denoising. Using that on a PC precludes you from editing that pic with this. Overall just a frustrating and clunky experience.
Competitors: great UX, modern AI features.

Please don’t make me switch to Lightroom.

Not Exactly

The ap is similar to desktop, but not as easy to use, & some tools I use in that space, are not here, or as readily available.

Why on screen rotate functionality

This would be so much better if you could rotate the screen for landscape photos!

Decent Step

Just Ok. On1 for Mac has far more filters and capability. Having only a handful on On1 Mobile is very limiting. I guess for syncing and sharing it’s ok but falls FAR short as an editor. The editing is not much better than native iOS camera app or free SnapSeed app.

Basically, capture, organize, due basic things then do serious editing on Mac.

UNUSABLE

This app keeps freezing whenever I try to edit a RAW photo
