### 2/5 — Meh, too intense. Other apps do better.

*2020-08-30, version 1.0.13*

There’s not much difference between the filters and the adjustable parameters don’t offer much. Basically all the effects are too strong, and there’s no simple slider that lets you adjust how much you want to apply the effect (from 0-100%). The interface is meh. And lastly, the effect offered by this app looks very much like the magical AI effects available in other apps like PicsArt, which do a TON more (for free!) than this app does when you pay.

### 5/5 — Best app to creat real Art...

*2020-05-25, version 1.0.13*

I use this app a lot. You can take an ordinary flower and turn it into a masterpiece. I creat textile designs for a major company, and I use this app quite often to finalize projects. Best of all this app has never crashed on me.

### 3/5 — 13.1.2 update

*2019-10-01, version 1.0.11*

Please update for us

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2019-08-24, version 1.0.11*

Use with my photography and it creates beautiful images using my work! Fantastic artful looks!

### 1/5 — Paid for on 3 devices won’t work on iPad

*2019-04-23, version 1.0.10*

I love these apps, my all time favorites. Paid for this for iPad, when I try to erase sparkle, it turns my skin gray. I now have a useless app, and my Samsung is on it’s last legs. Was hoping to purchase all your apps for my new iPad. Was thrilled to find them here. Now afraid to spend more money on apps that won’t work. You need a trial period. Can’t give this anymore stars for iPad. You got five stars on my other devices. Please fix this ghastly problem. 😢
UPDATE: got a new iPhone, doesn’t work on  it either, same issue, can’t erase Spektrel without it turning a face into a dead gray zombie look. Just a bummer. Devs don’t care, they already got paid. Won’t even respond. I want a refund for my Apple devices!

### 5/5 — Fun amazing app!

*2018-08-12, version 1.0.7*

Hundreds of variations. I love how you can save your favorite settings. I do prophetic art, this takes digital art to a whole new level. This company is top notch. I own many of their apps. They are my go to.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2017-08-15, version 1.0.0*

Really enjoying the ease with which you can enhance your photos. I give it two thumbs up. I'd give it three thumbs up if I had another one but that would be too weird. 😁😁

### 4/5 — Already love it

*2017-06-03, version 1.0.0*

This really is a cool little app. At first, I was disappointed because I already have a Lighten tool on iColorama, but this app is easier to use, certainly cheaper, and they have many, many other effects. Tried it on a silhouette of roses--which was kind of dull and ordinary--and the glow was stunning. 

I literally have 100+ camera and editing apps, so trust me when I say this MORE than worth the money.

### 5/5 — Spektrel Art

*2017-05-31, version 1.0.0*

Easy to use and can be as creative as you desire.

### 5/5 — Superb product

*2017-05-22, version 1.0.0*

I started looking at some of the company's computer products, but was wary of spending the larger amounts of money they charge for those, so I decided to try out one of their less expensive apps. It has really impressed me, and I know I'll be buying more of their products.
