The shadows and over exposed areas are no match for the multiple filters/exposure options. ### 4/5 — Favorites menu *2018-11-14, version 2.0* One thing I would like to see is a favorites menu. It would save time from scrolling through and finding the ones I prefer to use. Great app. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Muy recomendado! *2017-07-16, version 1.0.1* Gran app que te permite realizar ajustes muy interesantes a tus fotos. Muy recomendado usar este App para subir fotos a FaceBook o Instagram. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Shader *2023-06-25, version 2.0* Doesn’t load all my photos ### 1/5 — Friends *2023-05-01* 5 stqrs ### 1/5 — Sharder *2022-12-16* Программа на мой взгляд хорошая, но сделайте так чтобы при сохранении не выкидывала обновите свою программу они запустите её!!! ### 1/5 — Used to be nice when it worked. *2022-09-28, version 2.0* App crashes when you go to export the edited picture. ### 1/5 — Basic *2022-01-04, version 2.0* Basic and not really a photo tool ### 1/5 — Crap *2019-10-27, version 2.0* App won’t even load.

But luckily before I gave up, I thought they must be there for a reason. So I continued to tap on them, and later I started to see the gradual changes in shades on the image by each tap on the buttons. However even coming this far, I still couldn't figure out what the Stretch button is for. The devs should explain this in a user guide in the Settings or a button by itself to save users' time and patience before they jump to the conclusion to give it up. This would bring in more favorable reviews for this really useful and convenient app good for both graphic designers and amateurs. I found a potential problems though. The original size of the image I used was 688 KB, but the edited piece is blown up to 12.6 MB. I have yet to check more if this would really improve the image quality, seeing that the resolution is still 2048 X 2048. And I do hope that this app could retain the full resolution of the mobile device. I have tested dozens of apps for putting shapes and shades on my photos. This free Shader app makes me regret some of those that I have paid for. Overall this little app of only 2.9 MB in footprint would be included in the go-to Art & Design folder on my Home screen. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
