You guys get 1 Star, Because I Bought this app a couple Of years Ago, and Now you guys Updated it and When I downloaded the Update, It doesn’t GIVE ME the New Filters, I have to subscribe for something I BOUGHT ALREADY 😒😒

UI Needs fixing

This app is pathetic. You press back button and it completely deletes your edits. This app needs a UI update by a professional designer and then it might get a good review. Otherwise you keep losing progress with no backups.

You can’t even zoom in to see what you’re doing

Awful ui

Huge annoying bright white overlay when using the majority of the filters stating that you must pay even if you paid for the app in the past. No way to remove for-pay tabs
