### 5/5 — De très beaux effets

*2025-08-04*

Une app avec des filtres très inventifs qu'on ne trouve pas ailleurs et qui témoigne d'un vrai sens de la photographie. Dommage que le module Polaroïd soit hors service sur les dernières versions d'iOS.

### 3/5 — Can’t read text, probably to do with dark theme?

*2025-02-26*

Iphone8+ ios 16.7.10 in the app all the text seems to match the background, click the top left folder, click albums, at the bottom the Media Types only shows the qty value and not the names of each type.  Look top left corner no button for back function.  Click anyways.  Top right info icon, again no text just title and x button at top.  Thanks
