Но таких немного ### 4/5 — Great so far *2026-03-23, version 5.11.11* Haven't done too much in the app. Easy to use - very intuitive & not overwhelming. free version is great and can do pretty much what you need to do. can read RAW files which is always great. ### 4/5 — Класс *2026-03-18* Много платного, а так зачет ### 3/5 — 屏幕不适配。我的苹果11刘海屏挡操作 *2025-12-13, version 5.11.10* ①触摸按钮都跑到频幕外面去了。 ②而且无法导入“ cube、jpg、png”等通用滤镜格式，太封闭了，专有的滤镜二维码稀少，网上不好找。 ③app小巧，干净好评 ### 2/5 — Polarr pro *2025-11-12, version 5.11.10* Awesome features…. But subscription? No, thanks. If you were to offer straight out payment, I’d be with you… ### 4/5 — Вроде ничо! *2025-07-02* ...но, хотелось бы увидеть те функции что в Paint в досе, наложить картинку в картинке, бе геморроя!!! Программа классная, только не понятно зачем все основеые функции засунули в сохранение. Масштаб, коррекцию и куча всего. Можно было бы это как у всех, отдельно сделать. Задумка авторов не совсем понятна. ### 2/5 — Lack of customisation *2025-06-13* Well, I’d like to leave a 2 star bcuz the app itself provide somehow a good proportion of features for editing itself but here comes one of the worst part where u cannot save ur finish products if u didn’t upgrade to Pro’ version ### 2/5 — Don't mess with my EXIF! *2025-04-26, version 5.11.11* The functions in the app are easy to use, and I can edit great photos using polarr. Probably the most user friendly photo editing software out there. However, the exif of the photos were so extensively modified that when I upload the edited photos to some photo websites, the exif info cannot be read for some cameras, and sometimes the camera model is wrong. This is unnecessary and need to be fixed. ### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение! *2025-04-04* Хороший фоторедактор, мне понравился! Пользуюсь совсем недавно, но очень удобные функции позволяют сделать красивые фотографии очень быстро поэтому довольна. Легко пользоваться, поэтому тоже плюс для тех, кто пользуется приложением. ### 5/5 — Love *2025-03-17, version 5.11.4* I love this app. It has AMAZING layer settings. I use it all the time on my phone. I have tried several different apps for photo editing and this has become my go to. ### 4/5 — Very Fair *2025-02-17, version 5.11.8* The tools you can use without paying for a subscription are very fair. ### 4/5 — The subscription is a bit too expensive *2025-02-12, version 5.11.8* for the functionalities i use. Pls reconsider the price point compared to other more powerful apps! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2024-12-20, version 5.11.8* I've been using this app for almost a decade now, and I've used it accross various devices, iPhone and Mac. Time and time again, it has proven to be very reliable in crafting the look I want to attach to my image. Very grateful for this app, would recommend to anyone looking to edit casually or commercially. ### 5/5 — Great App for borders *2024-12-19, version 5.11.8* Great simple app I use it to make borders for prints ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Очень тяжело *2025-12-28* Бесплатных инструментов мало, перевод ужасный, поддержки RAW нет, очень неудобно сохранять и открывать фото (выделить все обработанные фотки и сохранить все сразу невозможно, нужно выделять по одной), куча багов (по типу очень кривого копирования корректировки). Короче ужас, а не приложение, даже для бесплатного это ужас, лучше уж потратить немного денег и скачать Лайтрум, а не это недоразумение. Единственное что понравилось, это дизайн ползунков корректировки. ### 1/5 — Upgraded and now it doesn’t work *2025-05-02, version 5.11.10* I used the older version all the time, which I loved because it did process RAW images. I finally upgraded and come to find out the program does not process RAW. And it does not work at all. It won’t save- I’ve tried on my both my computers saying that there is “no space” when there are several GBs left. Yes, I tried several ways of trouble shooting and they did not take or work. It crashes and won’t upload all the pictures I select, I have to go back and compare lists to the pictures that have loaded for editing. To top it all off, customer service has not responded or tried to resolve the issue. Their resolution was “just use the online version” which doesn’t allow you to use any pro features even when signing in. I’ve requested a refund since I can’t use it at all but we’ll see how that goes, most of the email responses are just “we did get your email, we will respond soon” and they don’t, even with email follow up inquiries every few weeks. They probably just stole my money and I have a useless app until March 2026. Don’t buy this program it’s very buggy and they won’t and don’t know how to fix it. One star for the app zero stars for the customer support. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign in *2025-04-03, version 5.11.10* I’ve paid for Polarr for years but this version doesn’t let me sign in. I sign in and it says “You now have access to all features” but when that window closes it never actually unlocks any of the pro features. I’ve tried many times and the sign in never stays ### 1/5 — Can''t even save edits! *2025-03-06, version 5.11.8* What good is the free version if you can't save the work that even that version allows you to do? Also, there is no capability to change resolution or image size. I would suggest to the devs that they allow full use for a few launches so a person can determine if that is useful or not. Otherwise, why would I pay to find out if it IS useful? Just another worthless "free" app. ### 1/5 — Non functional. *2025-03-02, version 5.11.4* I’d give a “0” of possible. Though I’ve purchased the Pro version some times ago I’ve not used this for a while. Now going to use I find I can’t use any of the Pro features. Not able to restore purchase. I’ve reached out to Polarr more than once with no response. Not happy at all. Beware! ### 1/5 — It’s not work on my other device *2024-12-12, version 5.11.4* Hey sir, I have an iPad and I paid for full Vergin the old iPad it’s work and the new iPad is not working. It’s work also with the iPhone and Mac only this iPad it’s not working. I erase the program and then I download it again it’s still have issue when I sign in. It’s signed up. It’s showing it’s a, it’s not working so please can you fix it cause this is the fifth time I erase the app and I download it again. It’s worse it’s really worse. ### 1/5 — Nothing free *2024-12-11* It does not save any files until you pay ### 1/5 — Нет бесплатного редактора *2024-12-04* По итогу ты скачиваешь и не сохраняя ни одной фотографии приложение требует купить подписку ### 1/5 — Very limited *2024-11-22, version 5.11.8* I wasted $50 on this software only to find out you can’t edit raw images and the software is very limited. I contacted Apple about a refund and was denied. Total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Unable to Load Photo *2024-11-14, version 5.11.8* Every single edit that I was working on began showing “unable to load photo” a few months ago. This has still not been fixed and the app is unusable on latest versions of MacOS. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — An outstanding feature-rich photo editing environment. *2026-06-26, version 5.11.11* I am not a power-user but I have found myself using many if not most of the image adjusting features of this glitch-free app. It is my go-to app for all of my photo fixes and more. ### 5/5 — Great Product *2026-06-01, version 5.11.11* Love the flexibility and what I can do. Takes a bit of adjustment as its not designed like an Apple app but having fun learning it. ### 5/5 — Best Free Editing *2026-02-21, version 5.11.11* This has the most options to use for free compared to any other editing app. It’s a very easy user interface and maintains the quality of photos after editing. This is so far my favorite photo editing app I’ve used and I’ve been a professional photographer for years. ### 5/5 — Good App for Fast Good edit *2026-01-12, version 5.11.11* Fast reliable good service ### 5/5 — Vraiment sympa *2025-12-21* Utilisation facile et claire, tutoriel d’initiation. Rame un peu parfois : Fermer et rouvrir l’appli dans ce cas la sinon nickel ### 5/5 — Very Intuitive to work on photos *2025-10-09* Pretty simple with very little learning curve; and fast ### 5/5 — Amazing software *2025-10-06, version 5.11.11* It is so slaytastic I made some really good pics with it. I recomend it it makes some really diva photos. YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD!!!! ### 5/5 — Good *2025-05-27, version 5.11.10* Great app ### 5/5 — So good *2025-05-08, version 5.11.11* Really easy, fast, and free. I use it to edit YouTube thumbnails, and it has been doing the trick for a couple years now. ### 5/5 — 좋습니다. *2025-05-06* 제가 전문가는 아니지만, 좋은 카메라로 색 보정 하려고 설치 했는데 구독 서비스땜에 …좀 짜치네요. 요즘 결재 시스템이라 어쩔수 없다지만 완전 구매 서비스가 존재 했으면 합니다. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
