### 4/5 — Easy

*2026-05-18*

Very easy fast way to make simple adjustment

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2026-03-29*

I’ve messaged customer service twice and have not received anything back. Every other time I upload a photo  it shows the watermark and I have to wait forever before it says I have an acct and the watermark disappears, and when it saves to my photos, it saves like a screenshot and not fixed ? I have asked for assists with no help

### 4/5 — Great app for dive color correction

*2026-02-01*

I was looking for an app that would easily allow dive photo editing on my phone. I’ve used Adobe photoshop and Lightroom on my computer but prefer only a phone (IPhone 16PM) for travel. This app does that in most instances really well. I have found in some instances where the original media is higher contrast, the result when significantly reducing blue, critical details become too dark to recover later using the photo adjustments. Take lots of photos and videos; many will turn out great.

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2025-12-08, version 1.16.6*

It used to be a great quick and dirty app to white balance some photos.  Unfortunately the developer seems to have abandoned the app and all it does now is reset any changes you’ve made with the Photos app.
For example;
If you take a photo then crop it with the iOS photos app, then open it in SeaReal to edit it, all the app will do is restore it to the uncropped version from before and do no color correction or white balance at all.
Feel kinda ripped off tbh because while it doesn’t say so explicitly IMO the guy that made this app is the same person that made AquaColorFix which is currently supported and is by all accounts better.
The scummy thing is that instead of fixing and continuing to support the app which was a one time payment, he’s instead decided to create a new app that’s a subscription.
That’s pretty scummy.

### 5/5 — Best Underwater Photo adjuster

*2025-11-19, version 1.16.6*

This little app punches above its weight on taking the blues out of underwater photos, if you are a beginner or expert this program makes you into a pro- under water photographer. Reasonable price at extremely great results.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-09-17, version 1.16.6*

Used to be great, now doesn’t work at all…. Photos don’t save any longer. Complete garbage.

### 2/5 — Photo editing doesn’t work

*2025-03-24, version 1.16.6*

This is okay ish for videos… good colour correction but not as good at sharpening videos as other dive photo apps I have used. It is very slow and glitchy - it crashes a lot. Photo editing is off. Regardless of the format of my photos, after editing they’re just blurry pixelated and unrecognizable post processing. I will use for video occasionally

### 5/5 — Improves my videos

*2024-12-03, version 1.16.6*

After taking some snorkelling video after my holiday, I was a bit disappointed with how the results looked so researched how to edit or improve these. I read about SeaReal on a forum and gave it a try, and Wow, suddenly those murky videos came alive with colour. This app is so easy to use and you can use this for free if you are happy to have the watermark, but it is not expensive to remove this and support the developer. Having other editing options would be an improvement as, if they are required then it would save running your enhanced video through another editor for sharpening, contrast, etc. There is another app that will do that (also good) but it costs nearly twice the price. For my occasional holiday use, this app is perfect.

### 5/5 — Absolute necessity for Scuba Divers and Snorkelers!!

*2024-08-12*

I have been diving for 27 years. I am a shop manager, instructor and technician. One of the hardest things to be able to learn is how to edit your photos so they have the correct color and beauty that they deserve. I personally have taken many courses in all of the photo editing software, yet it is always a struggle. This App is the absolute best tool and most amazing and mind blowing way to bring your underwater photos back to life!  Everyone who takes photos in the water NEEDS to get this. The most amazing thing about it is that it only has one single slide bar!!! One slide bar completely fixes everything! Every single thing that I would have to spend so much time on in all of the expensive software. There is a free version but the cost of buying the app is so low and reasonable that it is absolutely worth buying it. It also takes away the watermark so it dosent disturb the feel of the picture. I don’t know how they did it but they hit a homerun when they developed Seareal. BUY THIS APP!! It saves so much time that it’s no longer a headache to edit your pictures. Use this App and your pictures will be like magazine covers.

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-07-21*

I had some issues with dive+ so I looked for another app. I like this one, change of colour is nice, could improve the fact to hit the button back each time we want to edit a pic in the pro edition, like the one time payment, would be nice to save pictures on the phone not after each picture, which make it difficult for me to delete the old version one to one picture. I am pretty happy about the app, hope it will get even better in a close future
