## Review summary

Colourtone offers a strong set of filters and an intuitive editing flow that helps create vibrant, social-ready photos and videos. However, recurring concerns revolve around monetization and performance: many filters are now paywalled or watermarked, beloved filters were moved behind a paywall or altered to require social follows, and the app can be slow and unresponsive. Free options are limited, pushing users toward paid packs. Overall, it delivers great creativity tools, but the current paid-model and stability issues undermine the experience for long-time users.

### Pros

- Large variety of filters and editing options for photos and videos, including lighting and color adjustments
- User-friendly and easy to use, producing natural yet vibrant results
- Helpful for social media content and platforms like Zepeto/Toca Boca; results stand out for posts
- Some features and filters are free or affordable, providing value without immediate subscription

### Cons

- Monetization changes lock many filters behind Pro subscription and add watermarks; previously purchased filters become unusable or require Go Pro+
- Beloved filters were removed or turned into paid/trial (e.g., Cooge/Coogee) and sometimes require following on Instagram, frustrating long-time users
- Severe performance issues and slowness, with long loading times and unresponsive UI
- Limited free filters; many popular tools require payment, leading to a pay-to-edit experience
