Not over complicated, everything is self-explanatory. It does a good job adjusting the photos to each filter already, and you can change the angles/strength/etc. of the filters if you need to. There is a $1 fee to remove the watermark permanently (which is a steal btw), but everything else is free. I haven’t seen any ads either 😉 It isn’t an option, but it would be cool if you could add the filters to videos too. I have so many videos I would love to edit with this! **Developer response:** what a ~lovely~ review tysmmmm! literally what we are going for (chill apps of the '10s but w/ filters for now) - FYI we will never do ads because ads are gross and thanks for shouting out the $1 watermark srsly such a steal! ! we talk about adding video all the time so if you wanna hit us up with more feedback or feature requests on sway@picc.co dooo coz we are clearly on the same wavelength ~ thanks again!! ### 5/5 — the funnest app *2025-05-27, version 1.7.0* more cams please!! latest ones have been fire ### 5/5 — GREAT *2025-03-27* I REALLY LOVE THIS APP AND ITS RLLY UNDERRATED AND CUTEE **Developer response:** THANK YOU LULU WE APPRECIATE YOU 😮‍💨 ### 5/5 — Best app 💕💕💕 *2025-03-26, version 1.5.0* Absolutely love it just give me more cams pliz ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — in love 💕💕💕 *2025-01-30, version 1.4.0* this app is ridiculously cute (and basically free - the watermark is like $1 to remove forever which seems stupidly cheap) - I’m so excited to see what cameras they add next coz the controls on the ones they have right now are next level 🤧🤧🤧 ### 5/5 — BEST APP *2025-01-18* this app honestly has so much potential and i’d love to witness it grow 😭 the fact that i’m able to blur out the background w/o having to do it myself and making it look a bit tacky 💀 this reminded me when i used to have my digital camera back in the late 2000s/2010s and i just love taking pics so much bc of that era. i wish you guys nothing but success! (also tysm for only charging $1 for the removal of the watermark but also i seriously love your logo, i love seeing it on my phone lol) **Developer response:** tasha you made our WEEK 😮‍💨🫨😭 THANK YOU for your sweet words ~ we absolutely have plans to grow and cant wait for u to see! ! ! (new cam incoming 💕💕💕) ### 5/5 — freee app !! *2024-12-29* what i love about it that it looks the same exact thing on ads and ITS FREEE **Developer response:** thanks so much gabii ~ so true we are freee! (and thanks for noticing our ads match our app 🫶 what you see is what you ✨get✨ ) ### 5/5 — been waiting for this! *2024-11-10* i love a good motion blur but doing it manually in photoshop is a lot of work when clients want next day turnaround. this app literally saves me so much time! **Developer response:** wahh this is so good to hear, thank you! 🎉✨🦄 we're adding new cameras so if you think of anything else that's a drag in ps, let us know. we love saving people time 😎 sway@picc.co --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
