### 4/5 — J’aime beaucoup mais …

*2025-05-30*

Super mais depuis que j’ai changé d’iPhone je ne peux plus me servir de toutes les fonctions !
Dommage

### 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

### 4/5 — Xn View Updates?

*2024-06-16*

Ist zwar eine etwas ältere App, läuft aber auf mein iPhone und iPad unter iOS 14.6. ohne Probleme. Kostenlos und ohne Werbung mit ordentlichen Menüs für Photobearbeitung. Daumen hoch 👍Stand Juni 2024 , Gibt es noch Updates?

### 4/5 — Doesn’t work on email function

### 3/5 — Pas trop mal...

*2016-05-05*

Mais il manque pas mal d'options. Impossible par exemple, de dessiner une figure simple comme un rectangle plein ou non.

### 5/5 — Достойный

*2016-02-05*

Не понимаю отчего так мало отзывов, приложение очень функциональное. Пользовалась другими прогами долгое время, вернулась откорректировать в это приложение, и не поняла, на кой мне нужны были другие редакторы, если этот справляется "на ура!"
В общем, 5⭐️

### 5/5 — Very good

*2015-12-29*

### 1/5 — iPad Funktion eingeschränkt

*2026-02-08*

Läuft unter dem aktuellen IpadOs auf einem IPad Pro 13” nur in Ansätzen: Zommen überhaupt nicht möglich, keine Batchverabreitung, kein Drehen, Zuschneiden etc. möglich…

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2022-07-09*

Macht überhaupt nichts!

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar

*2020-06-09*

App kann nicht auf externe Bilder zugreifen.
Schade!

### 1/5 — Déception

*2020-04-06*

Installée sur mon iPad Air 2, l’application affiche bien les photos mais refuse toute action : aucune modification n’est possible !
C’est regrettable.
Cordialement

### 1/5 — Abandoned by developer

*2019-03-24*

It used to be my go to app. Bought a new iPad and it will no longer access my picture library or allow me to save a sample picture. Deleted and reinstalled to no avail. Sent an email requesting assistance three days ago and have yet to hear back.

Developer confirmed there’s a problem, though gave no indication a resolution was forthcoming.

Developer contacted me the telling me problem has been corrected and requesting I change my review. Deleted and reinstalled but the same problem remains, so I dropped the rating to zero stars (well, I tried to but was denied) and will delete the app for good. There are plenty of great photo apps out there. Don’t waste your time with this developer.

**Developer response:** Please update your version

### 1/5 — Needs fixing...

*2019-01-05*

Great filters and fun - however, on the iPad, the tools to Crop, Rotate, Mirror do not work, also, the brightness, contrast, etc, adjustment icon does not work.
UPDATE: NO LONGER SAVING EDITED IMAGES USING iOS 12.1.1

**Developer response:** Please update your version

### 1/5 — Does NOT work in iPhone6

*2016-04-23*

Does not work on IPhone6. I am removing it if not updated.  Please update.

### 1/5 — Doesn't do anything much at all.

*2015-12-11*

Free app only does the most basic editing. Most of the menu options are greyed-out. No mirror, flip or even crop!

### 1/5 — ipad mini

*2015-05-30*

Tried this on the ipad mini and it doesn't work. No presets or crop, rotate etc. Shame.

### 1/5 — 👎NICHT iOS8 FÄHIG‼️😝/ NEEDS🙏UPDATE!

*2015-01-14*

👎SCHNEIDEN, DREHEN, SPIEGELN sind funktionslos. Viele Menüleisten sind kaum lesbar und erscheinen in einem kontrastarmen Grau. 
Ständige Abstürze, kein Landscape-Modus, undsoweiterundsofort…

😡😤👿Derzeit nicht zu gebrauchen!🙌

### 5/5 — Updates ?

*2026-03-06*

Never seem to know if this app gets updated. No support?!

### 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.

### 5/5 — Updates ?

Never seem to know if this app gets updated.

Merci pour votre super logiciel

*2020-01-02*

**Developer response:** Merci de mettre à jour votre version

### 5/5 — best photo app - what happened?!

*2019-06-25*

really the best photo editing app on App Store for those not versed in Adobe Photoshop or on the go, have used for years, what happened? Did the developer discontinue as photos no longer save? Come back!

### 5/5 — Super

*2019-06-07*

Viele dank ❤️

### 5/5 — Finally an update

*2019-05-23*

My favorite photo editing app is back, with numerous filters and effects many you won’t find anywhere else it’s the only photo editing app you will ever need and with the ability to create your own custom effect presets it couldn’t be faster or easier to use i highly recommend this app.
