Worse, it fails silently — as in, it appears to have succeeded, but in fact didn’t. Do not buy until updated! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work with ios 15 *2022-08-17, version 1.2.3* Doesn't work with ios 15 ### 1/5 — Saved pictures don't retain depth of field *2022-02-07* Whenever I edit a photo using Slor and then save it, the photo shows to be unedited with all depth of field removed, essentially ruining the photo. Shame because it used to work so well. ### 5/5 — Great app… not saving?? *2021-06-20* I’ve used this app for years now, so I don’t want to not give it 5/5 But lately - you cannot save the photos to camera roll after modifying them. Is this going to be fixed? ### 1/5 — Bugs? *2021-01-06* Edits won’t save. They just save as unedited photo. Worse still, the attempt at saving edits as an adjustment to the original photo makes the photo lose its portrait-mode editability in iOS Photos app. Plz fix. ### 3/5 — Hope for an update. *2020-11-20* Hi, any chance of an update for ios 14 / iphone 12 series? Not working on these anymore. :( ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2020-11-08* Fantastic so far, still learning about its capabilities. Using app on an iPhone XR, have tried with both the rear and front cameras. ### 1/5 — Can no longer save/export photos *2020-02-08, version 1.2.3* It was an amazing app, then an update changed the UI and I can no longer figure out how to save/export photos. This of course renders the app useless. Please change. ### 4/5 — Great Photo app *2020-02-07* Yes a great photo app on my iPhone 8 but could do with some instructions - I’ve not been able to find a way of deleting photos that appear stored in the app - those that are modified are of course stored in Photos. I’ve now got to a stage where I cannot load any new files - it’s as though it’s directory has a limited capacity. ### 4/5 — Not bad but found one major bug *2019-10-18, version 1.2.3* Had this since day one and overall it’s good but I’ve been using Focos for its advanced options. On iOS 13 with iPhone 11 Pro the photo browser won’t load the image I select when full screen forcing me to use the mini browser to find the image which takes much more work. ## Frequently asked questions about Slør ### What does Slør do?
