Also if you doo screen records it in the way... ### 4/5 — 为何保存不了完整画面？ *2020-07-20* 已经购买，却无法保存完整画面，谁告诉我为什么？ ### 2/5 — Good but *2020-07-11, version 2.8* I wish you were able to decide where the ripple/mirror starts ### 2/5 — good, but needs improvements! *2020-05-21, version 2.8* This app is excellent, but please add these improvements to make it a 5 star app: 1) allow “save photo” feature in app 2) this app should not have automatic access to camera and photo library, it should request permission to access camera and or photo library! 3)add “tutorial” with basic app use instructions. 4)this app should be added to settings in iPhone settings like every other app to allow changes to be made to stop siri, deny location, allow or deny access to camera or photo library etc. ITS NOT IN THE LIST OF APPS IN SETTINGS, why not? 5) App support! Website does not load, so there’s no app support Thanks ### 1/5 — When you save the picture it only saves a quarter of it. Don’t pay to unlock *2020-02-20* Very disappointing ### 2/5 — Not real impressed *2019-12-19* Does allow any real water effect. Can’t change to more than ripple ### 1/5 — Photo doesn’t save *2019-12-13, version 2.8* The app itself does some nice things. Except only a portion of the photo saves to gallery. Until that’s fixed and states it - do not purchase or even download. It’s a waste of time. ### 3/5 — 好郁闷 *2019-08-23* 怎么中间会出现一些黑块和黑线呢？ ### 4/5 — 东西不错，就是广告太多了 *2019-06-12* 东西不错，就是广告太多了，希望可以改进 ### 1/5 — Ads *2019-04-05, version 2.8* All I got was ads for something else ### 3/5 — 导出照片压缩的太厉害 *2018-11-03* 画质不好 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless to me *2024-01-15* Cannot access any picture and I can only get support in a foreign language. Glad I only lost a little bit on this. ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS APP! SCAM *2023-05-21* First off, when you add a picture it degrades the photo quality !!! Secondly, it does not save correctly into your phone. Very poorly made app. And yes I paid for the .99 cent upgrade unfortunately. ### 1/5 — Won’t let you save *2022-10-14* Requires you to spend $1 to save and then when you pay the dollar the save function goes away. Shame ### 1/5 — Water effect *2022-05-13, version 2.8* I have sent an email via the app’s contact section buy it won’t send at all! My question was in regards to me upgrading my account but still not being able to see the final photo after sending or saving it! Please respond or refund my purchase! Andrew ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-04-06* If you love ads, this app is for you ### 1/5 — Long Ads *2021-04-16, version 2.8* Just deleted app within a minute ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2020-07-20, version 2.8* What a horrible app ### 1/5 — Political advertising on top of sloppy app *2020-07-01, version 2.8* Very clunky app and you have to sit through political adds. No thanks ### 1/5 — Partial pictures only *2020-05-29* I’m highly disappointed. I love the water reflection effect. I did several pictures and saved them to my phone (I even bought the upgrade). Then when I tried to view them in my photo library I saw that they were not the full photos. They were only the enlarged top left corner and the photos I saved before getting the upgrade had advertisement banners in them as well. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-05-16* I was very pleased to hear about this app, however after getting it I don’t understand why it doesn’t save the complete photo?? I even paid the .99 to upgrade thinking that was what I needed to do, but NOT. It would be ok because I could screenshot it, but NOT, because the word “ripple” stays there. I’d like to know if I’m missing something? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This works on ipad 2 9.3.5 *2022-04-07* Mic drop walk away with 2 thumbs up in da air PEACE,,! ### 5/5 — Water Effect *2020-09-10* I use this app a lot.
