### 2/5 — Doesn’t work in 2025

*2025-11-30*

Refund please. On iPhone 14 I cannot change any colors or # of colors. Was a good idea but needs updating!

### 1/5 — Infuriating

*2024-05-03*

I’ve had other high contrast apps, now defunct.  This one is poor at directions, actually lacking directions.  Cheap imitation.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2023-12-19*

Just what I needed to complete art projects

### 1/5 — Refund?

*2023-06-20*

Pro version: 4 zones to edit with a range of colors from grey scale through some blues. 

I was expecting a little more control. You have no way to control which values in the image will shift and be assigned to the 4 zones, so you’re left with whatever the app chooses; your only other control is which new color of grey or blue you want those fields to be.

If I would have demoed the premium version for 2 minutes I would not have paid $2.00 for the unlock.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-03-06*

This app is so vague. It’s very difficult to navigate any information in the app.

### 2/5 — Could be great if…

*2023-01-25*

The sliders for adjusting the color didn’t go off the box to where you can’t adjust that slider and if you could save the color adjustment after. I have a screenshot of the issue but nowhere to show it.

### 4/5 — Not sophisticated, but good fun!

*2022-12-23*

Simple, fun to use, good results are possible

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-12-05*

I want this to work because I need it, but This app does not work. Can’t select number of colors, but default appears to be 4. Using Pro. But only 3 colors appear. The menu items don’t describe what you can do. One item is “Zoom” which actually is where you are supposed to select number of colors but that option to change number is not there. Sometimes it changes different zones for a particular color than in a previous session on the same image. can not recommend

### 1/5 — This is rubbish

*2022-01-26*

Don’t be fooled.  It doesn’t cost much so I thought what the heck I’ll download.  It is impossible to use and nothing like described.  They are counting on thousands of people spending a few dollars.  A rip off.

### 2/5 — Postershine app is a waste of money, to me!

*2021-11-15*

It only changes colors! Nothing like what Art tool
does. Not very helpful!
