### 3/5 — Not Great

*2025-08-22, version 2.1.8*

Does not get all colors. Tends to wash colors together on edges where colors meet. Lips often look like someone smeared on lipstick.

### 2/5 — Very Disappointing

*2024-06-14, version 2.1.3*

AI makes odd choices, colors bleed, and the manual adjustments have a limited selection of color and applies the adjustment to a large area of the photo.

### 3/5 — Awesome...but expected

*2024-04-01, version 2.1.3*

I have MetaImage, worked with the developer during his early releases with feedback (very responsive!), and was delighted to have discovered this app was his as well!  Immediately bought it.  It works absolute wonders...easily...with just the right amount of adjusters.

Feedback:  AI is great, but should not be the only option when first interacting with the program, particularly if you have just one B&W photo to colorize.  Give the option to choose AI, or go manual from the start.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2023-06-27, version 2.1.0*

Very much enjoy it.. Makes my old black and white photos so much more enjoyable.. I would not of believed it had I not tried it.. I love it!

### 2/5 — Masking and color rendition

*2022-12-23, version 2.0.8*

It'd be great but not getting the elements that I need.  I can send you a comparison from another app that does better if you're interersted  Can I get my money back.?

### 4/5 — PhotosRevive 2 Review

*2021-11-09, version 2.0.1*

It's fast on my M1 mini.  I usually use manual mode instead of AI batch. I wish it had a zoom slider in manual mode along along with the existing keyboard shortcuts to zoom. The color indicators are nice but I find that I can't colorize a very small area like a red apple without changing the color of the tree leaves. It almost needs some type of mask or paintbrush feature. Overall a very good program.

### 5/5 — Terrific app

*2021-09-04, version 1.3.0*

Worked great from the first photo and was ablr to
adjust color as needed great app

### 2/5 — Disappointed, doesn't do much

*2021-08-12, version 1.3.0*

I should have read the description and reviews better.  I thought it would be "magical", but isn't.  I tried it on a picture that isn't all that old.  Automatically, all it did was colorize the face but not much more and that color was rather pale.  Yes, I can manually select an area and color it, but I don't want to do that.  For $18 I expected better.  

I had a trial PC program that colorized the entire photo and did a very good job.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2021-07-03, version 1.3.0*

This app does a decent job of colorizing things. No recurring charges or subscriptions. Also it is a good looking app with a nice simple design and interface. I would like to see image upscaling added.

### 5/5 — Great software for colouring mono photos.

*2021-05-12, version 1.3.0*

Great software. Changes mono photos to colur in just 1 second. Love it!!!!!! 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Not quit there

*2021-04-04, version 1.3.0*

The app does a pretty good job of converting photo's, about half the time,  Still has a problem with color santuration in some photos.  The demo video helps, but a little deeper written explanation on how to use the sliders and the selection dots would really help.  What usually happens is when one image face is still black and white and you try to add flesh tone to just that image face, the whole area changes color.  I corrected some problems by correcting the definitions in the black and white photo befor attempting to colorize.

### 5/5 — awesome!

*2021-01-28, version 1.3.0*

perfect.
love the options to change colors to make it look best.
and supports my mac.
has everything i need.

### 1/5 — Not recommended

*2026-01-25, version 2.2.0*

Poor quality App with limited settings and not user friendly. A waste of money.

### 1/5 — Not Impressed

*2025-07-26, version 2.1.7*

Not impressed with the restoration of the photos.   Wanted to some clarity and clean up the photo.  Not what I expected.  Wasted $18.99 for nothing.

### 1/5 — Junk App

*2024-08-06, version 2.1.4*

I purchased this app because I need to colorize a lot of black and white. 
It does not do even an average job of colonizing. The colors don't snap very dull colors. It also takes a picture, and it will tilt it. Very frustrating. This is a low-price app, and now we know.

### 1/5 — It says restore

*2024-04-29, version 2.1.3*

It only adds color, doesn't restore

### 1/5 — crash

*2023-08-08, version 2.1.1*

2021 M1 MacBook Pro; 7 individual images tried; 7-times the program crashed; will be persistent.

### 1/5 — Not sure yet…

*2023-07-03, version 2.0.10*

How do I adjust colors manually on the IOS app?  The app description on the AppStore states that fine tuning is one of the capabilities of the app, but that capability is not apparent.  Please assist?

### 1/5 — Not As Good

*2023-01-10, version 2.0.10*

This app is not as good as I was expecting!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-10-04, version 2.0.7*

When I saw this was availble on the Apple app store, I got excited. But, after the results, my heart sank. Twenty bucks down the drain. Anyone who's ever used the MyHeritage.com photo colorizer (you need to subscribe to MyHeritage), will immediately see the huge difference. This app seems to have trouble defining faces (among other things). It 'generally' places some flesh tone with very soft, ill-defined edges and treats much of the rest of the image in the same way. I wish I had a way to show you both versiions of a photo I tried... one using this and one using MyHeritage. VERY disappointed. Not even worth a buck, let alone twenty.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-03-20, version 1.2.0*

One could do much better by colorizing by hand.

### 1/5 — Extremely Poor

*2020-02-26, version 1.2.0*

Not sure what algorithms they're using but sites like MyHeritage do a significantly better job than this app.  Very poor colorization processing and difficult to reset.  Definitely needs some work before it's worth $18.  Wish I could get a refund.

### 5/5 — Love It

*2026-03-06, version 2.2.0*

The results are amazing

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2026-01-09, version 2.2.0*

I recently purchase Photos Revive. Is simple to use and outputs quality colourised photos. I love the ability to very easily adjust the colours in the photo. Far superior to other more expensive products I have used. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Saved my hinder

*2024-09-05, version 2.1.6*

I wasted a lot of time relying on the 2024 version of Photoshop Elements. They have a feature that will colorize B&W photos. It’s horrible. 
I had scans from a yearbook. If Adobe was smart, they’d buy this guy out and integrate his code. It’s a reasonably priced solution. If you are looking for a higher end solution, you’ll be doing it manually on your own.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2024-04-10, version 2.1.3*

You can do multiple 'colorize' transformations at once, and always come out with intelligent results! I have several hundred b/w historical photos to do for a history project, and in spite of the different contents of the pictures, they are all perfect!

### 5/5 — Brings Photos to Life

*2023-04-08, version 2.0.10*

I've enjoyed takiong black and white photos and adding color to them.  Sometimes it requires patience to adjust the colors, but most pictures come out great.  And it's also fun to use.

### 5/5 — duck

*2023-01-11, version 2.0.10*

otstanding

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-12-01, version 2.0.8*

Of course getting good results depends on the source image.  When it gets a good one it does an incredible job!

### 5/5 — Just works

*2022-11-09, version 2.0.7*

Really easy to use. Try it!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-12-28, version 2.0.3*

This is a product not to be missed. Does exactly what it says it's going to do. Good customer support. I couldn't get batch colorizing to work well. But colorizing one by one is fine. An amazing product, well worth the price.

### 5/5 — The best

*2021-09-29, version 1.3.0*

I just had to update my review, its even better than i first thought, great job and ill be checking out this sellers other apps
