I am using iOS 14.3, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I hope that the developers release a fix for this! ### 4/5 — Update Needed? *2019-11-01* Looks like an update is needed? I’m running IOS 13.1.3 and the app crashes when I go to save a newly enhanced photo. ### 4/5 — A update five years in the making! *2016-05-19, version 3.0* About time, support for full resolution 👍 Option to turn on border frame would be welcome. ### 2/5 — One update to many *2015-05-16, version 2.01* The last update was the downfall of a above average app. ### 1/5 — STILL LOW RESOLUTION SAVES *2014-04-08, version 2.01* App has not had an update in 3 years not even to iOS 7 or for iPhone 5 & 5S ... Yet the pathetic developers still waste our time with apps saving at useless pathetic low resolution saves! The settings state it's saving at full original resolution but the actual saved photo is nothing more than a cheap low resolution result! DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS APP!!! ### 1/5 — Melissa'sbuddy212 *2014-01-26, version 2.01* Want my money back worst app Ever!! ### 3/5 — A bit overpriced. *2013-10-25, version 2.01* Occasionally a good result from a few random filters. Saves at full size from camera on iPhone 5s, or processes photos from Photostream at 2048 × 1536. ### 1/5 — Forget this one *2013-01-30, version 2.01* You open the app, choose a photo but then? You get 4 not-so-spectacular suggestions. What then? Nothing. Can't get bach. No settings. No help. No options. Useless!! So many more good photo app's around ### 1/5 — Outdated app - bottom of the line. *2012-12-25, version 2.01* Very outdated app and actually insulting for the users. This was one if my first apps two years ago and it is terrible compared to all the filter apps on the market. It's just random filters and never been updated! ### 4/5 — Love this App. Needs iPhone 5 update!! *2012-12-08, version 2.01* First, I have to say I absolutely love this app. Im a photographer and a big fan of film photography. I have used many iphone apps and none of them come as close as this app does in creating a realistic plastic camera effect. With that being said, I give it 4 stars. When the update to fit the iPhone 5 display is available, i will give it 5 stars! Fantastic job though! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Seriously???? *2025-02-23* Bought this applike an hour ago, but the camera doesn’t work the app kept quitting. Only the library option is working. I want my money back!!!! ### 1/5 — Please update *2020-05-25* This used to be a great app until they stopped updating it. App no longer works on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — Be careful when purchasing *2018-07-10, version 3.5* Not impressed that the cost is advertised as $2.99 and then when you click to buy all of a sudden iv been charged $9.98. I wouldn’t not of purchased. Don’t even want to use it now ### 1/5 — Crap *2016-06-01, version 3.0* I've been a red giant customer for years and I have to say I'm majorly disappointed. I will never use this app because it's crap... You owe me $2 ### 1/5 — Camera won't work *2015-12-21* Filters a nice. Camera won't function on ios9. You can still import pictures from the library, and treat them. Half an app. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Serious Update Is Needed *2015-07-04, version 2.01* When I got my iPhone 6 plus I decided to tryout Plastic Bullet to see if I'd get faster results. Well when I loaded the app, it's still on iPhone 4 display. Then when I tried to use the app, the screen disappeared on me. This app is in need of a serious update to iOS 8 standards. It's a shame because this was the my first app that introduced me to iPhoneography. Please update this app !!! ### 1/5 — PLEASE UPDATE *2015-06-13, version 2.01* I am a RedGiant member and have paid for most of the suites. I loved this app for so long, but it really needs to be refreshed. Please bring it into 2015! ### 1/5 — this app is dead *2015-05-12, version 2.01* waste of money!!! Better to create link to Camera+ more improvemrnts!!! you'll get 5star! the developer of it stop developing it any more ### 1/5 — Does not work with iOS 8 *2015-03-20, version 2.01* This app doesn't work with iOS 8. ### 1/5 — Does not work on iOS 8 *2014-09-20, version 2.01* Please update! This is a filter app that I come back to on a somewhat regular basis and it would be really nice to have it work on iOS 8. It's a one-of-a-kind app and it would get 5 stars if it was working for me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-10-19* I love this app and have been using it since it was released. Currently at iOS 18.1 and no problems. Only change I would like is to keep the same resolution as the original photo. ### 5/5 — A true gem of an app and still going strong! *2020-12-28, version 3.5* I started using Plastic Bullet when it first came out and absolutely loved everything about this simple app for getting truly one of a kind photos. I stopped using it having changed phones and then forgot the name of it. Fast forward to a few days ago and I stumbled across it again. I’m really pleased it’s still going as I thought it wouldn’t be supported any more, but here it is, still delivering the same seamless UI and always gets you a great retro image that’s standout unique. What’s not to love? ### 5/5 — Love it. *2017-03-12* Great effects! ### 5/5 — Finally! *2016-07-01, version 3.0* I gave up on this app a couple years ago. I am really happy someone took over the development and fixed it for my current generation iPhone +. Very nice work. ### 5/5 — BEST ANALOG APP *2016-06-12, version 3.0* Im a professional photographer and definitely This is the best film effect photo app, very very good work. ### 5/5 — Hooray!! *2016-05-19, version 2.01* One of my most favorite bestest of all bested apps has been updated!! It *is* an exciting time to be alive... ### 5/5 — Awesome but needs update! *2015-12-22, version 2.01* Awesome photo app but I wish the developers would update it to optimize it with the latest iPhones! ### 5/5 — Good *2014-07-13, version 2.01* A nice and simple camera that doesn't need you to keep pressing buttons to get what you want. ### 5/5 — Lomography at it's best *2014-05-17, version 2.01* I've had this app for years, and can't believe no one has reviewed it! This is the best at creating authentic looking lomography shots. Think expired film, gorgeous hand cut frames, blurs and fades and grains... Hands down it's the best app for making your photos look as unique as possible. I have never encountered two photographs that have had the same filter. I first came across this app via a photographer friend of mine. I asked her what she was doing in the darkroom to create such divine prints, and she told be about this app! This is my go to now, it's functionality is simple (though you can't go back to treatments you've just passed, which is a shame), and you'll have the most original photos going around. Zero updates, because it's fine the way it is. Cheers for a great product. ### 5/5 — Great *2012-11-23, version 2.01* Don't abandon this, I love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
