It said that if I rated the app 5 stars it would unlock everything so I assumed it meant all the categories with the crown symbol but this was not the case. It unlocked ONE slot! 🤷‍♀️ That’s not “everything” The word “everything” means all. Don’t say you’re gonna unlock everything if you’re not gonna do it. Now you get 1 star. 0 if it were possible. Also, all the filters are horribly awful. ### 1/5 — Subscribe or uninstall *2023-02-15, version 2.0.5* You need to subscribe in order to try this app. It's what I call a scamshare app, because it forces you to subscribe hoping that you'll forget to unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2022-09-20, version 2.0.5* I used to love this app lots of cool features. But now it has all the cool features in premium so you can’t even use anything without paying. ### 1/5 — Devolved Into Nothingness *2022-09-16, version 2.0.5* Many years ago I used PhotoMania for some funny and some wow for free. I thought now after more than a decade I’d find something amazing. Wrong. Do Not Download. They charge for effects that are FREE on other apps. They actually devolved. It’s a garbage heep of outdated overcharged rubbish and my biggest disappointment since photo apps came into e existence. ### 1/5 — Rate 5 star to unlock features *2022-02-18, version 2.0.5* The app force people to give a 5 star rating to unblock features ### 1/5 — Hate the update *2021-08-12* Arrgggh! It’s been ruined by being updated. I Loved this app, was so easy and quick to use. Has had an awful update which now makes it so hard to find the effects I was so familiar with. Just like all the other photo editing apps out there. Very slow and frustrating. ### 1/5 — Alan Long *2018-05-09, version 1.9.18* Not as good as the previous program can't adjust photo or colours,that is why only 4 stars.now 12months on and STILL not able to adjust photo size and some frame colours like we could in previous version,so don’t use it any more,not worth even 1 star ,still not as good as the original even though it is now on iPad and iPhone ,still can’t adjust photo and colour just a waste of time ### 2/5 — Obligated me to do this *2025-12-28, version 2.0.5* The app obligated me to rate it to use it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-15, version 2.0.5* I LOVE the filters. I love the retro, black and white, and old looking photos. This app has all of that. 😍 ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-06-29, version 2.0.5* !! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-06-27, version 2.0.5* Most excellent. ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-06-05, version 2.0.5* Best app ever ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-05-02, version 2.0.5* Just downloaded this app and I can see great potential! ### 5/5 — Art effects ... *2026-02-23, version 2.0.5* Fun App 😍 Beautiful results 💜 ### 5/5 — So much fun!! Easy to use!! *2026-02-13, version 2.0.5* I love using this app!! I've enjoyed using Photomania for so many years. So much creative choices. However I'd like to see more effects and cards. Especially more black & white filters. ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2026-01-14, version 2.0.5* There are so many unique options to add to your photos and make them come to life in a new way! ### 5/5 — Art effects ... *2026-01-01, version 2.0.5* Fun App 😍 ### 5/5 — Drawing *2025-12-10, version 2.0.5* Patient --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
