A fantastic way to enhance your favorite photos. 😃 ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-09-18, version 2.1* This is a very simple, well equipped, easy to use application that allows versatility and creativity to run together. ### 5/5 — I really love this app! *2017-09-15, version 2.1* I really love this app! It has everything I need to make a great picture ### 5/5 — Review *2017-09-07, version 2.1* Easy to use, creative app that adds flare and interest to ones photos ### 5/5 — Best photo app!!! *2017-09-03, version 2.1* This is my most favorite photo app ever! I have told so many people about it whom in turn have been as enthusiastic about it as I. I am still learning but the night photos and other features have been priceless. I just love this. So worth the $. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2017-08-28, version 2.1* Love this app! Love to take pictures, use the filters, which doesn't take long to master! Which you can set before taking the pic, or use filters after! Plus using "aperture" setting, is awesome when you do not want light to over power the shot! Well done!!! ### 5/5 — Eclipse Pics *2017-08-22, version 2.1* I wish I could share amazing pics I took of eclipse. Fantastic app that allowed for good images in very challenging lighting. ### 5/5 — Creative! *2017-08-15, version 2.1* Lots of fun to play with color temperature and tints with a single click from all of the filters! Great app! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2017-08-14, version 2.1* I've only had this for a couple of days but I've been playing with it around my house and am impressed with its capabilities. I edited a picture that I took this weekend at the beach and had already edited in Snapseed - I liked the Warmlight version better. ### 5/5 — Yes! *2017-08-12, version 2.1* Finally a camera app with a low learning curve and an intuitive interface. It's Instagram without the size restriction! ### 5/5 — Just what I've been looking for *2017-08-06, version 2.1* This gives me control over my camera. It's exactly what I wanted. ### 5/5 — only been using it for 10 minutes but It's good. *2017-08-05, version 2.1* Has some editing options that I haven't seen outside of a desktop app... only been using it for 10 minutes but It's good. Needs a more handy 'undo' feature in the editor... again I'm probably just missing it... the camera seems intuitive enough that I think it's going to quickly replace the current camera app for even quick and dirty shots! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We are really glad that you like our app. Please let us know if you have any ideas or improvements for our app that we could add in the future versions. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-08-04, version 2.1* Editing pictures on the fly is easy, and I can make low light pictures look great. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-08-23, version 2.1* I have been wanting to picture a good night with the stars. I bought this app for that same reason and it doesn't work. False advertising? Hope I'm just doing something wrong. I'll try again... ### 1/5 — Night photography *2017-08-15, version 2.1* I bought this app due to the way it described nighttime shots and how well it worked with them. Needless to say Im very disappointed in the quality and functionality of the app with this very thing in mind. If youre planning on buying this for night time shots DONT!!! Waste of money! ### 1/5 — Don't do it!! *2017-08-14, version 2.1* Impulse buy after seeing an ad on FB. This app doesn't do anything special unless you count the default "made with Warmlight" hashtag it adds to your message and a tick box you have to uncheck to remove before you share your photo. I've purchased other crappy apps before but this is the first time I've been annoyed enough to write a vent review. Get the PS Express app instead! **Developer response:** Hello! We're really sorry to have become that kind of motivation for you - especially considering thousands of happy Warmlight users. Please contact us on support@apalon.com, tell us more about your expectations, and we'll try to make both Warmlight and your experience with it better. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Very Good *2017-08-10, version 2.1* Definitely takes your phone pictures to another level. Very good app! ### 4/5 — Nice App *2017-04-19, version 2.1* If Instagram is free and we paid for yours- I think the ability to write text on top should have been bundled together with the basic package and not sold as an additional plug in. ### 4/5 — Great app *2017-04-13, version 2.1* This is a great app compared to the others in the App Store. I would love to see some more robust filters and some classier overlays. Overall, it's a great app. Haven't had any bug issues or technical issues using it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comment and will consider it while working on future versions of the app. If you have any further suggestions or ideas - please let us know at support@apalon.com. Thank you in advance! ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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.

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 — Good first look *2018-02-15, version 2.2* This app appears to deliver the control I’ve been looking for. ### 5/5 — One of the best camera app *2018-02-15, version 2.2* It’s really good camera app .manually change focus, shutter speed,lots of functionality are given ### 5/5 — Easy use *2018-01-16, version 2.2* First time is very easy and user friendly.

I highly recommend due to the pro-quality shots. There is a slight learning curve, but once you get it the possibilities are endless. ### 5/5 — Works great with iPhone X *2017-11-09, version 2.2* Looking for a manual camera that would work great with my X. Very pleased with the quality of this one. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Awe-Some! *2017-10-31, version 2.2* I’m a professional photographer so this is my new best friend. Just took my phone to a whole new level💜 ### 5/5 — From the very beginning. *2017-10-30, version 2.2* Just in the first shots you can notice the difference.
