Used to work BUT

*update 6/28/26: I decided to try reinstall per a response email letter. Apple store offered a download of latest compatible version. Will update again after another trial run.

*original review: It don’t work anymore. Barely does anything. Maybe one out of five… offers no explanation. Basically useless. I’m deleting and getting back 370mb disk space back.

Not what I expected

This APP is not what I expected. I have an old 1970's photo that is fading and I wanted to bring it back to life. All it did was blur the jpeople in the photo. Unfortunately, once you subscribe, you have to wait a year before it is cancelled. Another mistake made when dealing with computer APPS.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry Pholorize blurred the people in your old photo instead of restoring it as expected. Very faded photos can be challenging for AI restoration, especially when faces, contrast, or fine details are already weak, but the result should still look natural and useful. We’ll keep improving restoration quality for older photos. Also, subscriptions can be canceled anytime through your Apple ID settings; canceling stops the next renewal, while access may remain active until the current subscription period ends.

A good app

Realistic colors, very simple to use. Good, reliable results in a entry-level app. Very good assistance.

Lifetime anbieten - und dann doch ein Monatsabo!?

Ich weiß ja nicht was genau man damit bezweckt - aber in der App-Beschreibung zu den In-App-Einkäufen steht ein Angebot für Lifetime. Auch wenn man in der App dieses Angebot annehmen will wird es auch angeboten - aber wenn man es anklickt kommt man auf ein Monatsabo für 9,99 Euro … nein Danke.

A good way to ruin your photo collection

Don’t waste your money

The photos look worse than the original. No controls to adjust.

Rip Off

The app does nothing at all - your basic scanner does these same things. Not worth the money.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry Pholorize didn’t feel useful or worth it for you. The app is meant to go beyond scanning by using AI colorization, restoration, enhancement, and photo improvement tools, but we understand the results need to show clear value. We’ve continued improving the quality of colorization, restoration, and export since then, and we’ll keep working to make the difference more noticeable and useful.

Would love to give my $35, but can’t test the functions

I would rate this higher, but I have no idea what functionality this app actually has. I want to see one, one, sample from my library but the demo doesn’t allow for seeing that. Please allow at least one result, and then don’t let me export, just so I know what I am buying.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We agree that users should be able to see what Pholorize can do before deciding. In the current version, if you colorize a single photo instead of using batch processing, you can preview the colorized result after processing. Export and some advanced options may require Pro, but you should be able to view the result first. We’ll keep improving the trial experience and make this clearer inside the app.

Just junk

Don't bother to look at it. There are far better apps online.

Ne tient pas ses promesses

J’avais bénéficié il y a 3 semaines d’un compte gratuité à vie. En voulant utiliser l’appli aujourd’hui, je vois que la fonctionnalité a été désactivée. Très décevant de la part de l’éditeur.

It’s ok. Not great.

I just started using this app again. And it’s gotten better in the last couple of years. However, whatever the developers did regarding choosing pics, it’s broken. First it asked me to choose Full Access or Limited Access. I chose Limited Access. Then it asked me to choose which pics I wanted to use. I chose 3. Then it showed me a message saying “Limited Access. Please update the allowed photos and choose again”. I tapped on Update Photos, and it takes me back to my photos. I selected the photos, tapped add. And again, got the Limited Access photos. Round and round she goes. Why is it showing me ALL my pics, instead of the ones I just chose. All other apps I have with limited access to photos, NEVER show ALL the photos. Just the ones I chose. So they need to fix this. The one pic that it did manage to keep, it did an ok job on. Not like what Photoshop can do. But in a pinch, it’s decent. Oh, and when I tap on the “Enhance this pic”, the app crashes and quits. So that’s broken too.
