User reviews

When lack of control is Legendary

There is something magical, something explorative and so appealing about the way you engage with this app. It pulls out elements of your photos in such great, distressed, worn down, saturated ways that will have you savings six different takes of the same image. Absolutely Legendary!

The only filter app I use

I’ve been using this app for years. It’s magical.

Horrible

Not worth the expense

Great! but needs presets

Love the random film looks, some results are genuinely awesome. But without a way to save and name the styles you discover, those perfect looks just disappear. Even a small preset library would make this 100x more useful. I realise its by design but feels more like a missed opportunity to make the app genuinely useful.

A lot of fun

I’m a fan of this sort of idea for the interface. Dice roll for the look, no overwhelming list of presets, no choice paralysis. As someone who edits photos a lot, this is low pressure, there’s a ton of achievable looks which keeps me from overthinking. I’m a fan.
