This is an OK app that has the same filters as most similar apps. I think that there has to be a platform that most use to make similar apps. Because other apps look similar as well. Some filters take for ever to load up. Seriously, some filters are very slow to load up. And sometimes when you try to use those filters the app crashes. One of the apps I try had the cool feature that you could swipe left or right on the screen to go from one filter to another. With this app you have to tap on the left to have the bar appear, tap on the filters button, and the. Select the next filer. Oo many steps. Another app had the cool feature of having two slide bars at the bottom to change the strength of the effects. Sometimes a little can do the job. Another one had contrast, exposure, and filter strength. Also pretty cool! All that for a similar price. I paid for the pro features not knowing they had a pro version of the app out. Which makes me wonder if it’s more stable. I hope it has the same features. In a nutshell, the app needs to stop crashing, be faster, have the ability to go from one filter to another faster with the image in full screen, add more new filters, and incorporate filter effect settings to better compete against other similar priced apps.
Horrid experience. This app repeatedly quit on my 2nd time using it. After 10mins, 20mins, 5mins & an hour of work on 1 pic I lost everything I had done, including the orig photo. It does not have an "undo" feature so if you make a mistake (even in 1 drawing line if you err) you have to cancel all your work and start over, which is rarely a problem cuz it quits on you and you loose it all anyway and have to completely start over!! This is a problem in the draw feature. Haven't had a chance to get to any of the others yet. Too busy loosing all my work and time.
Oct 2015: We still love this app and all the beautiful effects it can add to pictures. However, we have been very frustrated many times that it can't save at a high resolution. It doesn't even have size saving options like many other good photo apps. We've made awesome pictures we wanted to print and hang up but the resolution of the saved images is too small. Sept 2015: I love that you can edit pictures already taken unlike some other apps. In no time our pictures were going from cute to wow and the tablet was being passed around for the whole family to see. Ads are annoying but we are already ready to upgrade and get rid of those. After using and loving this app my two girls,10 and 7, both were excited about what they can do using this app for the PTA Reflections art contest. Fun to see kids excited about photography!!
