### 5/5 — They made me rate them 5 star

*2022-11-23, version 2*

To open more fx from the limited non premium they say to rate with 5stars. So the rates aren’t worth anything here.

### 1/5 — Where the help?

*2019-11-20, version 2*

I purchased to get rid of the watermark and access all filters BUT the watermark won’t go away! I refresh and it does nothing.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-09-16, version 2*

Great easy to use app to add fun animations to your photos. Loads of fun

### 1/5 — Took my money and did NOT upgrade my service

*2019-05-06, version 2*

I just paid for the upgraded version. The money has been taken from my credit card already, but the app says “payment failed” and is not allowing me to utilize the upgrade features. I want my money back!

### 5/5 — Awesome effects!

*2019-03-25, version 2*

I’m having so much fun with this app! I wish you could add more than two effects and make them much longer to pictures and videos. I hope the next update has more FXs two thumbs up five stars so far. Good work guys! I hope all have a great day.

### 1/5 — When does the purchase unlock?

*2018-11-01, version 2*

I bought unlock all...but ads and the water mark are still there, when does it kick in? It should be immediate. If not, need my money back ASAP.
