### 3/5 — Норм

*2020-04-29*

Все работает. Но эффекты применяются не всегда ровно, из-за этого портит вместо улучшения. Прога под телефон, но и на планшет идёт отлично.  Язык английский, но всё просто.  Абсолютно бесплатно.

### 1/5 — Not what I was looking for

*2014-05-26, version 2.0*

This app only lightens a dark picture. If you are looking to smooth your picture out from a grainy shot, this app won't help.

### 5/5 — Cat Scan

*2023-06-16, version 3.0*

This developer has the capabilities to create a brand new type of camera app. The shutter button (volume button?) would trigger a sound that captures the attention of cats and dogs.
An instant AFTER grabbing the pet’s attention, the shutter snaps. The pet is therefore looking right into the camera when the portrait photo is taken.
The next sound the pet hears from iPhone camera would be different from the first, as pets get bored easily. Literally, the same sound twice no longer captures their interest.
A cutesy UI might appeal to general end users, but pro photographers need to take photos of pets too. Hence, RAW support and manual exposure and vignette and square aspect ratio are good ideas.
Please make this dream a reality.

### 5/5 — 良いです！！

*2020-06-01, version 3.0*

昔撮った写真のノイズを除きたくてあれやこれやと探しておりました。
他に出回っているアプリは細かい操作が必要で、全体をどうにかしたい場合、操作細かすぎて煩わしく思っていたのですが、こちらを試したところ手間がかからなくてやりやすかったです。
荒さが完璧に無くなるわけでは無いですが、色を少し濃くしたり調節していくと大分良くなりました。ありがたいです

### 5/5 — こういうアプリ探してました

*2018-08-23, version 3.0*

一眼レフカメラの写真編集ができる
高機能なアプリを探していました。
写真編集により自分の求めていた
加工ができ、本当に満足です。
広告もなく使いやすいあぷりです。

### 5/5 — Literally just like Chanel!

*2015-12-13, version 2.0*

It's trash DO NOT BUY. Gave me cancer and also hepatities ABCDEFG

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2015-10-11, version 2.0*

I'm so happy I found this app. I was editing a photo in Aillis, and it makes a weird grid-like grainy effect after you save the photo.. So I really needed to smooth it out and this worked perfectly :)

### 5/5 — It's the best I've found

*2015-01-20, version 2.0*

This may not be the best app ever to fix pixely pictures, but it works pretty good and it's free!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-01-10, version 2.0*

One word!!! Aaammmmaazinggg!!!!!

### 5/5 — Won't let me in

*2012-12-18*

I love it soo much. But i deleted it so many months ago and when i download it again and select a pic it won't let me. Plz fix it.

### 5/5 — Crashing PROBLEM!!!

*2012-11-24, version 1.1*

I need this problem fixed please. I open it up and as soon as I choose a picture to smooth it turns off.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2012-10-18, version 1.1*

I don't know why people are complaining about it crashing because I didn't have that problem at all. I opened the app, loaded a picture, and reduced noise just like it said it would. Then it easily saved the pic back to my camera roll. So great app! It doesn't reduce the quality of the pic either.
