However, could you increase the size of the style selections menu at the bottom? I can barely read it even on ipad pro. The finetuning menu is fine, it’s just that basic menu. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Undo? *2020-12-27, version 2.1.2* This is good idea but without an “UNDO” feature pretty much makes it worthless. ### 4/5 — It's better now *2020-11-15, version 2.1.2* I'm still having issues on and off but I love this app. ### 5/5 — انصح بشرائه برنامج خرافي 👍🏻👍🏻 *2020-04-01, version 2.1.2* So cooooooool Thank you so much 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Another new app *2020-03-09, version 2.1.2* Just downloaded this and having fun! ### 5/5 — Easy to use... *2019-03-28, version 2.1.2* Amazing effects. I am still playing with this app but have already made some very pleasing images out of some very unpromising photos ### 5/5 — La migliore *2019-03-21, version 2.1.2* App che uso da diversi anni che permette di realizzare effetti unici e spettacolari. Mi piacerebbe però che lo sviluppatore l’aggiornasse con nuove funzioni ed effetti e che facesse una versione per Mac Sarebbe un sogno! ### 5/5 — Pure Joy *2019-01-13* An app that can turn your photos into wonderful creations. Just choose photos with lots of details for best results.its pure joy to create with this app. ### 5/5 — Works *2018-12-23, version 2.1.2* Lots of options. Hard on iPhone to select - my artistic finger tips are thugs. ### 5/5 — Cool *2018-10-22, version 2.1.2* That’s Hairy Man! ### 5/5 — A great art/photo app, much appreciated! *2018-09-15, version 2.1.2* This is a really useful app, especially if you get down into the fine tuning. ### 5/5 — Worth experimenting with. *2018-09-15, version 2.1.2* Good to see the app is still getting compatibility & optimization updates. It’s a unique artistic photo app. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-08-29, version 2.1.1* One of my fav photo filter app and thanks for the iPhone X update :) ### 5/5 — Hace falta una actualización *2018-08-11, version 2.1* La App es buena, la uso hace tiempo y es muy buena sus efectos son mucho mejores que las nuevas Apps, pero ya le hace falta una actualización y la opción de restablecer los ajustes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ? *2022-05-11, version 2.1.2* I don’t get it. Then When I clicked for help/info it goes to an error page. I must be missing something ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-01-03, version 2.1.2* Really bad ### 1/5 — Crap *2019-02-23, version 2.1.2* You select various filters and you can’t deselect them. Nothing intuitive about this app. Does not appear to have an undo button. Hitting the ‘original’ button brings back the original, but again leaves the filters preselected. So soon as you select another filter, they are ALL re-applied. I’m sure there must be a simple trick too it, but I’m lost, and I use a lot of apps, all the time checking out what is new. ### 1/5 — CRASH *2014-03-16, version 2.0* Was really looking forward to playing with this app it looks stunning however as soon as I try to do anything on it it crashes don't understand as I'm using the new 5S. Waste of money such a shame! ### 1/5 — Mieses Update *2013-12-14, version 2.0* Der braune Hintergrund stört total - gerade wenn man Farben im Bild hat ist ein grauer neutraler Hintergrund wie in der Version davor besser. Der Blur Effekt den kein Mensch braucht lässt sich nicht abschalten! Apple hat es mit dem iOS vor gemacht wie man etwas gutes kaputt updatet und alle machen nach. Sehr ärgerlich das Update!!!!! ### 2/5 — Not Good for Portraits! *2023-06-20, version 2.1.2* Yah really gross effects for people. Might be nice for flowers… ### 2/5 — You have to render first? *2022-05-16, version 2.1.2* You cannot see your changes before rendering? Who has time for that? Maybe good 6 years ago….but not today. Please refund me ### 2/5 — Average App *2019-11-11, version 2.1.2* I don’t understand where ALL the great reviews come from. This is a very average app. It’s overrated! Not worth $2.99. There are much BETTER ones that does way more than this one. And they’re FREE! But...if you want an average app that distorts only, then this one’s for you! But again I say, it’s not worth $2.99!! Refund please.. ### 2/5 — Bug *2014-03-18* Aplicativo bem legal , mas está travando e não da para usar , favor corrigir bug. ### 2/5 — Poor imitation of Glaze. *2013-04-21, version 1.1* I am not associated with Glaze or their developers but I am a big fan of their app. Given that I am always on the look out for apps that create effects, I thought this was going to be interesting. Only the "small details" preset appeals to me so far other than that, I find the app slower than Glaze as well. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Welcome To The New Edge *2023-09-04, version 2.1.2* STUNNING. A MUST. If you are an image warpist dedicated to achieving TRULY awesome results, you NEED THIS. An brief addendum- if you are exploring AI art generation, Tangled FX is an important tool to differentiate your prompt generated art from similarly generated art from others. ### 5/5 — Get this app *2022-10-18, version 2.1.2* Simply the best!!!!! So creative amazing results!!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2021-11-17, version 2.1.2* Just hope it keeps working on newer iOS ### 5/5 — Really loving it. *2021-11-16, version 2.1.2* Started off looking gimmicky but with a bit of play is now addictive. I am using it nearly every pic. UPDATE: It is now 2 years I've been using this app for almost every pic. Another personal update: It must be close to 6 years that I am applying a bit of “Tangle” to 99% of my final output! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2021-10-23, version 2.1.2* I’m not a big review writer, but this is an excellent app. It’s creative and it’s well done. It’s one of my favorite apps. Plus they don’t hound you to write a review… they don’t need to. It’s a great app and it speaks for itself. ### 5/5 — 8+ years on.. *2021-08-12, version 2.1.2* And it’s still the best photo effects app on the App Store ### 5/5 — 🧽 ein großer Spaß 🧽 *2021-04-05, version 2.1.2* Mit diesem Effekt kann man beeindruckende Unikate erschaffen, auch in sehr hoher Auflösung. Ein bißchen Experimentierfreude ist hilfreich. Zuerst sucht man ein geeignetes Motiv aus, dann kann man die vielen Voreinstellungen oder eigene Einstellungen ausprobieren. Wenn der Look gefällt, wird (je nach Gerät) das Ergebnis in hoher Qualität gerendert. Es wäre schön, wenn die Entwickler mal wieder draufschauen würden. - So eine App könnte Apple mal featuren, statt des immer gleichen 08/15-Abo-InApp Zeugs, wo nicht mal der Name sinnvoll aus dem Chinesischen übersetzt ist. ### 5/5 — Simply super *2021-02-23, version 2.1.2* A superb replacement for Apple users who can’t use Fractalius (which is windows only). This app is affordable, fun, easy to use, and does exactly ‘what it says on the tin’! It even saves your work as a separate copy without overwriting the original - something a lot of apps fail to do. My only irritation is that it doesn’t have a version to use on my main computer......so come on guys, how about creating that version?! ### 5/5 — Mr. Clean *2020-10-03, version 2.1.2* Best app ever bring your photos into another faze of Awesome ...... ### 5/5 — Probably one of the most underrated photo effects app in the App Store! *2020-08-16, version 2.1.2* This app creates probably one of the most amazing and beautiful affects of any app in the App Store. Why there are not hundreds of thousands of reviews I don’t know. Easily has to be THE most underrated professional effects app in the Apple App Store. And I have just about them all. I create effects that I have sold professionally. Even without a gigantic time investment, even a child can create amazing professional effects that amaze. I personally recommend this at any price! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
