Unable to cancel per app response. App is basic. And not as advertised. DO NOT go to order screen! They will steal your money. And will not cancel or refund!! **Developer response:** Hello Dr. B, there is no free trial for our app. ### 1/5 — No way to Cancel!!!! *2024-10-15* Cannot cancel. Buyer beware. Tried to sign up for free trial. And glitch apparently signed me up. !!!!! **Developer response:** Hello Dr. B, there is no free trial for our app. ### 5/5 — Specialty photo editor *2017-04-14* The effects are limited to only a handful. If you use them cleverly, you may get very nice results. My favorite filter is Glam. You can make a picture look almost like an oil paint. Garbo is also very nice. You should always tweak the filters by adjusting the brightness and contrast for better results. I haven't figure out how to effectively use Kali, Onda and Flex. **Developer response:** Dear Kokohtfhrfjtcbdsvkjbgdxy, please try the new version. More improvements are on the way. ### 1/5 — No thank you *2015-03-25* This app is just NOT all that!! **Developer response:** Dear Jane, please try the new version. More improvements are on the way. ### 5/5 — loveeee it !! *2014-11-20* I don't know why they say this app is bad but it's good for me! and btw.... got the app for free !! **Developer response:** Dear pastel.vintage, thank you! Please try the new version and let us know what you think. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Fantastic!! *2014-07-04* This app is great ! It helps me to transform my pictures ( i'm not a professional) into incredible pictures. And it's so friendly that even a child can use it!! I really recommend it ! **Developer response:** Dear dorislm, thanks for your review. Please try the new version. More is on the way. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money... VERY limited.... *2011-12-13* After seeing all the impressive photos in the description .. I decided to buy it... Now I wish I didn't and if I could give it 0 stars... I would! From the Photos, there seems to be lots of different effects used, and In the description it says, take or upload a photo, press the play button, and your photo will be transformed.... ummmm not really.. in reality it tweaks the contrast and brightness a little bit. So I went on their support page and read the Tips, basically the only way to tweak the photo more is to keep re-processing the same image, with FAR from impressive results (as opposed to Impressive results as they state)... all that happens is that the photo ends up with too much brightness and contrast.. NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS PRODUCT AT ALL... AND ONE OF, IF NOT THE WORST PHOTO APP I HAVE PURCHASED....(And photo apps are the apps I purchase most, so that's saying something!) **Developer response:** Dear Majorlag.issues, please try the new version and let us know what you think. Further improvements are on the way. Best regards. ### 1/5 — I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!! *2010-12-23* This is the first and only review that I have written to ask for my money back! This app does NOTHING! There is one " play" button to touch. That's it! It's spose to " glam" ur picture. All it does is brighten it up a little, if that. No filters, no anything!!! I wouldn't even get this if it was free after trying it! By far the worst $2 I've ever spent on an app!!! OMG! I'm soooo angry!!! What a rip off!!! This deserves -5 stars! I am giving it 1 star cause I have to. It doesn't deserve any stars!!! Just ruined my nite!! **Developer response:** Dear Ohio user, please give the new version a try.
