### 2/5 — A great idea, done badly

*2023-12-02, version 3.1*

As title.
A great idea, done badly.
Some effect don’t work as expected. 
Image with good quality and dimension are saved in poor resolution. 
The control touch are not so easy to use. Some effect are only mirror of the image. Seem not work properly. 
I ask for the refund of my 5 minutes ago purchase.

*2022-04-18*

all of the thing is just so slow and it can't do the things that is on the vedio.

### 5/5 — Most work

*2022-03-29*

Most of these work great! Fun! I am unable to use the Ghost feature as the screen freezes and I have to turn my iPad Pro off and reboot. The Hyperion feature won’t allow saving. Looking forward to you fixing these modes!

### 2/5 — Work has resumed

*2022-02-11, version 2.6*

I have been in touch with the developer and he is continuing to work on it.

I will add more stars the better it gets!

### 3/5 — Surrealizer

*2022-01-22, version 2.3*

### 1/5 — Would only load on one device

*2021-09-30*

I enjoyed using this software. I purchased it to use one a new iPad. After I downloaded it to the new iPad, I kept receiving messages to upgrade to the Pro level. I tried to contact the developer but finally I decided to get a refund.

### 2/5 — Purchase problem

*2021-06-02*

Hi, I couldn’t successfully purchase or restore my purchase of Surrealizer on my iPhone 11 Pro iPhone. I was able to purchase it with my iPad Pro. Then I tried to restore the purchase on my iPhone. Before I cancel my refund my purchase, I am hoping that you can resolve the problem. Btw, I didn’t see a restore option on my iPhone.

Thanks John
