User Reviews

Many long-time users praised the app’s past feature-rich, one-time-purchase design, but multiple reviews focus on a forced subscription model, gated legacy features, and ongoing crashes. The shift has caused significant dissatisfaction, perceived false advertising, and refund requests, with nostalgia for the app’s former paid version.

Pros

Historically strong editing features (filters, grain/dust effects, crop and frame tools) that many reviewers praised before recent changes.
One-time lifetime purchase model was highly valued and is missed by many users.
The app was often described as a favorite and essential go-to for photo edits in its earlier versions.

Cons

Shift to a subscription model and gating of features, with many reviewers calling it a false advertisement and a rug pull for lifetime buyers.
Crashes/instability and inability to save/export after updates, with reports of slow performance across devices.
Removal or restriction of legacy features (e.g., grain, dust, certain filters) behind paywalls, reducing core editing capabilities.
Perceived misrepresentation of pricing leading to refund requests and discontent among paying customers.

Recent reviews

They wouldn't honor my lifetime subscription when I switched from Apple to Android. I've been a customer for over a decade, and the customer support agent couldn't seem to care less. At the very least, he could have asked for my subscription info, and provide a discount since they basically said I'd have to pay again. I ended up canceling based on principal.
