User Reviews

MaxCurve is a powerful, user-friendly mobile editor with deep color-grading and layering capabilities at a favorable price, but it struggles with maintenance and reliability. Users praise its curves-based editing and intuitive workflow, while repeatedly citing bugs, outdated UI, and missing per-area masking. Updates, better extension stability, and ongoing support are the most requested improvements to turn the app into a consistently reliable pro tool.
Pros
  • Extremely powerful curves-based editing with extensive options (RGB/CMY curves, lightness, gamma, etc.) plus layering, HDR, grain, and other adjustments.
  • Intuitive, simple interface that makes complex edits approachable and enables quick, pro-level results on mobile.
  • Great value with a feature-rich editor offered at a one-time price.
  • Strong mobile color grading capabilities that can rival desktop tools for quick edits.
  • In-app tutorials help users learn curves and advanced features.
Cons
  • App appears to be neglected with infrequent updates, outdated UI, and compatibility concerns with newer iOS versions.
  • Frequent bugs disrupt workflows: extension UI cutoffs, misaligned masks, artifacts like lines in photos, and export/save issues.
  • Missing local masking or per-area editing tools; users want selection-based edits and per-region control.
  • Reliance on Photos extension/Photos integration can be flaky and disrupt workflows.
  • Some reports of inaccessible pages or broken support channels.

This app used to be great, possibly since an update they make it hard to save photos back to IPhoto, edited, photos, disappearing? Looking for a replacement app…

The extensibility shortcut (to use MacCurve via Photos app) has been made very difficult to use due to a bug that causes the lower third of the interface to be cut off and inaccessible on all iPhone screen sizes. This also causes filter masks to appear misaligned. The only way I can access the rest of the interface is by going into the MaxCurve app itself, which has a much les user-friendly interface for opening, editing, and saving modifications to photos.

App appears to be broken now, doesn't work at all. Support link also doesn't work. Is this app not being maintained anymore?
