### 3/5 — Warmlight

*2022-10-02, version 2.2*

This app has been around for a long time now.  It really needs an update (none for 4 years!).  Average photo editor; nothing special. Not keeping on my iPad.

### 5/5 — Warmlight stopped working!

*2021-12-24, version 2.2*

After updating iPhone to iOS v. 15..2 Warm light displays dark screen. App was deleted and reinstalled and still will not work. When app is launched, screen goes dark.

**Developer response:** We appreciate if you could contact our support service (support@apalon.com) with a more detailed description of the issue so that we could try to resolve it for you. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

### 3/5 — Good app... wished it had some more features though

*2020-03-02, version 2.2*

The app works really great! One complaint I have is that, the exposure doesn’t look the same when photo is saved the gallery than how it looks when you change the exposure while taking the photo. I do wish there were more features, though. Some features I would like to see include:
 •A portrait mode version where you can control aperture 
 •Photo Trigger with volume
 •A smaller timer that doesn’t show up in the middle of the screen - or a settings that controls where it goes

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your comment and will consider it while working on future versions of the app. Could you please also contact us directly (support@apalon.com) with the first problem described? Thank you in advance, we are willing to help.

### 5/5 — Wow! I LOVE This!!!

*2019-02-10, version 2.2*

Super easy to use and very well put together. No big surprises. This will make any photo better. You can go from mild to wild with the colors. And I've only begun to start playing with it. Best five bucks I've spent in a long time.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! We are always working on the app in order to bring it to the next level. If you have any ideas that would make the app even better for you - please feel free to share with us in the comments or at support@apalon.com. Your contribution is greatly appreciated!

### 5/5 — Excellent app for even a novice

*2018-02-20, version 2.2*

People can’t stand when I take pictures because of the sharpness, colors, blurry or having to move a few feet to get everyone in. This app right here...OMG it is easy to use, has a lot of features where you can think you are a pro and great photographer, it will help anyone with a shaky hand. To test it, I have a white, fluffy dog and I wanted to see how her picture would turn out. The balance of her fur and background were sharp! I was pleased. I will no longer use the camera that comes with my 7+. GREAT JOB!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please let us know in the comments how we can make the app better for you! Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2017-12-14, version 2.2*

I get amazing results in various lighting. I highly recommend due to the pro-quality shots. There is a slight learning curve, but once you get it the possibilities are endless.

### 2/5 — After Reading the reviews

*2017-12-04, version 2.2*

I read the reviews then bought, loved how the photos looked after The editing. BUT, when the photo automatically saves, it changes the quality. It unsharpens the photos and softens it.
