### 4/5 — Help!

*2022-01-22*

I love this app, but I’m having a problem. Every time I go to put a filter on a video, the video turns to a blank white screen. I’ve tried re downloading and updating. Any suggestions?

### 3/5 — Not able to save photos

*2022-01-03*

I just renewed my subscription, but I’m having problems saving edited photos. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the app, but still the same. Help a girl out pls because this is the only editor I like to use.

### 2/5 — Used to love

*2020-08-10*

Never thought I would be writing a review for a camera app but I paid $50 for a lifetime of POMELO but then had to continue paying again just to use it? Totally a rip off I shouldn’t have to keep repurchasing for an app I already paid for. And then with the new update you had to connect to Facebook to use certain filters even after you paid for?? Insane, used to be my go to app but now I have to find something else.

### 3/5 — Photo doesn’t save the same

*2020-05-06*

I really like this app! I use it to edit all my photos with a preset filter I have the only issue is when you save the photo, it isn’t identical to the one u edited. Most of the Rome it isn’t as bright and I’ll screenshot the photo I edited on the app and compare it to the one that was saved and they aren’t the same!

### 5/5 — question

*2019-09-29*

I buy this all ready i'm not gonna buy it again happen guys!1 I pay 50 dollars for this app, they want me to pay more money for the filters !!!

### 2/5 — Give back the old update!!

*2019-05-24*

Ive had this app for years!! It was my go to for taking amazing pictures! So many filters to choose from and such great quality no matter what phone I had but this new update is not it. I’m not a fan of the new update where I can’t use the filters and take pics simultaneously. This is just like any regular editing app now and it’s boring. Please return the old features. I regret updating now. :(

### 1/5 — Major Downgrade

*2019-05-12*

I’ve never thought to leave a review on an app before, but the recent update to Pomelo actually compelled me to. As many others have stated, the previous versions of the app where nearly perfect; this was my go-to for editing all photos. I understand wanting to make a profit and whatever else, but the way this upgrade was rolled out is a major disservice to loyal users. Unfortunately, I’ll probably delete the app soon as I don’t intend to pay for features that were previously free (looking at you, “Saturation” slider).

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-05-10*

I’ve had this app for years and I’ve loved it I could touch up my pictures just the way I wanted without it being over board. I opened my app today and the update is awful I have to go and delete the app now because if I don’t pay I can’t use it the way I used to anymore. The new update is very confusing and not likable. I’m very disappointed that the one photo app I’ve used for years I have to get rid of unless I pay an extreme amount of money.

### 1/5 — Update is whack

*2019-05-01*

I have had this app for years and always make sure it’s on my phone. It was the perfect touch. This update removing basically every noteworthy feature is a huge bust. Considering it was done without warning, and the new layout being basically unusable compared to what it was (and the new filters are total garbage???) I have no desire to see what’s behind the paywall. I have a feeling that paying for the app isn’t going to bring back what I loved about it. 
Exceptionally terrible choice on your part guys. I have no choice but to delete and find an alternative.

### 1/5 — EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

*2019-04-30*

I agree with the assessment of the other user. This updated version is absolutely terrible. It’s like you completely ruined the entire app. I have even paid for filters on the older version and now they are gone and I can’t restore them. Total rip off! New filters are mundane at best-tepid- and have rendered this app utterly unimpressive. If you knew what was best for your users you would restore what you previously had immediately!!
