## Review summary

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 Users praise its curves-based editing and intuitive workflow, while repeatedly citing bugs, outdated UI, and missing per-area masking.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- App appears to be neglected with infrequent updates, outdated UI, and compatibility concerns with newer iOS versions.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.
