### 5/5 — Love

*2026-07-22, version 2.1.2*

Free

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-07-14, version 2.1.2*

I really love this app! It has all of the signature retro effects I like to use on my photos. I especially like all of the filters, effects, and date stamps. Everything is very customizable so you can tweak anything to exactly how you want it. You do have to pay for some of the good features, but it’s only $20 a year which is extremely reasonable compared to a lot of apps asking $5-$10 A WEEK! I will happily support this dev team as they have created a truly wonderful app. Thank you so much!!

### 3/5 — beware Test version not free

*2026-02-23, version 2.1.2*

I love their effects, yet they advertise a 3-day-free-trial for pro version but substract the annual fee from your bank account right away! This behavior is not acceptable. I did get a refund by Apple Pay but had to go through the process.
