### 1/5 — Berbat

*2019-04-08, version 1.0*

Berbat bir proğram indirdiğine değmez

### 1/5 — 4 - 5 filters

*2019-03-06*

Not sure what the 5 stars people are giving this app !
Your stuck with a filter that has no adjustment ,
I tried 6 different pics you get one of the filters but that's  it ! 
I guess the people giving 5 stars are actually rating a different app , this app is crap ! Until they can add adjustments to each filter !
Or , if someone can show me what I did wrong 
Will be glad to update my review !

**Developer response:** We have improved and updated the application. We hope you enjoy it more now!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

It’s a total rip-off. It offers 4 sketches, which are absolutely ridiculous. Don’t buy.

**Developer response:** We have improved and updated the application. We hope you enjoy it more now!

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2018-03-28*

App ne fonctionnant pas, cependant les pubs elles, fonctionnent très bien

**Developer response:** We have improved and updated the application. We hope you enjoy it more now!
