### 2/5 — Bit Buggy

*2017-11-08*

Can’t purchase the filters, can’t delete images you want to discard (or at least it’s not obvious to me), does freeze up quite frequently. 
Bit disappointed, used to love an old tilt shift app that is no longer in the store and didn’t work on iOS 11, and this looked like a good replacement, but needs a bit of work. 
Hope it gets fixed.

### 2/5 — Upgrade takes a dollar gives you NOTHING

*2017-05-10*

As I stated in the title… I purchased the big batch of filters that came with it and said the pro version would utilize. The dollar was taken from me and the filters never came in. They still say I have to activate the filters.
So basically they charge me a dollar for false advertising. Business owners have gone to jail for less.

### 2/5 — Has a major flaw.

*2015-03-16*

Crashes to black screen whenever you try to load a second image. You have to shut it down and re-open. Annoying...

### 3/5 — Good except

*2014-11-05*

The in-app purchase for the pro filters doesn't activate the filters. Please fix this as I paid for the use of the filters.

### 2/5 — Так себе

*2014-08-30, version 1.7.1*

Приложение недоработано. Управление плохое.

### 1/5 — non scaricatela !!!!

*2014-04-30, version 1.7.1*

Una vera sola: ho acquistato i Pro Filters ma non li hanno attivati....

### 4/5 — Simple yet intuitive

*2014-04-10*

Great fun tilt shift interface. My only concern is I've purchased the pro filters yet the app has not updated to say that I have.

### 1/5 — Finger weg!

*2014-03-31, version 1.7.1*

Absoluter Schrott!
Schade ums Geld!

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2014-02-10*

I bought this and guess what?
It only has one filter if the app, do I buy the add-on but it will not add to the app. I have tried many times with no luck. It so far has been the biggest waste of money and time as far as photography apps go.

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2013-11-02, version 1.7*

Does not work with iOS 7 and/or iPhone 5s.  Please fix or give credit

### 1/5 — Wird die App denn irgendwann

*2013-10-30*

auch mal wieder funktionieren? Denn jetzt geht schon eine lange Zeit gar nichts mehr und in dem Fall sollte sie dann doch wohl auch nicht mehr verkauft werden dürfen!

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2013-10-16, version 1.7*

Will not allow me to upload a picture...just goes to blank screen

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2013-10-13*

This App was fantastic- now all it does is freeze! Disappointed and want a refund please.

### 3/5 — 大好きなApp

*2013-10-11, version 1.7*

iOS7に早く対応をお願いします！
昨日、使おうと思ったらRollから読み込めません（≧∇≦）アップデートを待ってます！

### 1/5 — iOS 7

*2013-10-10, version 1.7*

After update to' iOS 7, load pix from camera roll don't work at all... Please fix it!!!

### 1/5 — Finger weg

*2013-10-07*

Hier geht derzeit mit ios7 nichts. Start, Ende, graues Display aber nen Euro verdient.

### 2/5 — PLEASE update for OS7

*2013-10-07, version 1.7*

TiltShift Does not work anymore with existing photo's in your "roll" with OS7.
It was a great app before the new OS came out. Please send a patch or update, I just bought the ProFilters… can ya help me out?

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2013-10-07, version 1.7*

Don't bother...you can't load an image from your camera roll. What a waste!

### 1/5 — Freezing and cannot buy pro filters.

*2020-03-02*

I have paid for app and it won’t work.

### 1/5 — Locks up and crashes repeatedly!

*2017-09-14*

Cannot purchase pro effects. Buttons to 'buy' don't work. Display of the effect do not draw correctly on top of an existing photo to be able to manipulate/move the effect (size, scale, rotate).

Horribly unstable.

### 1/5 — Naze!

*2016-12-30*

Flou de mauvaise qualité !
Bouton "ouvrir l'image" fonctionne la première fois puis plante l'appli la fois suivante... 0,99€ à la poubelle, merci!

### 1/5 — In app purchases

*2016-07-12*

Easy to use but purchased filters but it still says activate even after restarting phone

### 1/5 — DO NOT TRY

*2016-04-06*

Crashes EVERY time - don't even bother wasting your time.

### 1/5 — Nul a chier

*2015-08-18*

J'ai effectuer des achats intégrés que je peux même pas utiliser .. Vraiment a éviter comme app 0'99 jeté dans le vide :(

### 1/5 — Crappy

*2015-06-10, version 1.7.1*

This app is really not that great, can't even shift, tilt, or focus. Instagram has these tools already plus more. I thought I would be able to do a fish eye effect with this app but not even that.

### 1/5 — Broken for iOS 8

*2014-10-24*

Application crashes after finishing working on one image and trying to load the next to process. 

App tries to get you to purchase PRO FILTERS but doesn't tell you how much they are before you buy them. 

How much are they? I don't fall for that game so I never found out.

### 1/5 — Golpe!!!

*2014-09-19*

Comprei os filtros e até agora não foi ativado no app.

### 1/5 — Erst Hui, dann Pfui

*2014-08-01*

Hab die App auf einem iPhone 4s laufen und war von der einfachen und intuitiven Bedienung sehr angetan. Das Erwachen kam, als ich die Pro Filter nutzen wollte. Hab den InApp Kauf getätigt nur leider werden die Filter nicht freigeschaltet. Herr Schenk, das riecht nach Abzocke und liebe Apple, wozu habt ihr Standargeräte, Standardsoftware und ein Approval, wenn euch sowas nicht auffällt?!
