Review summary

Users praise the app’s editing power and toolset, but repeatedly report billing and subscription problems (charges, canceled trials, refunds), pro features not functioning despite payment, and removal or gating of features behind a paywall. Glitches, freezes, and lost progress are common, along with trial and refund hassles. Some request UX improvements (search for filters, favorites, presets) and a return to the original version. Overall, the app is capable but pain points revolve around payments and stability.

Pros

Strong photo editing capabilities when features are accessible
Wide range of filters and editing tools available
Overall app quality and editing potential praised by some users

Cons

Billing and subscription issues (charges, cancellations, refunds, trial problems)
Pro features not functioning or being locked behind ongoing paywalls despite payment
Removal or gating of features (e.g., makeup, body editing, AI face edits)
App freezes, glitches, and loss of progress or export problems
Trial experience issues and misleading renewal expectations, plus support/refund delays

2026-05-28	ko*****	I’ve been using this app since 2024 and back then almost everything was free(except for some things), now every time i browse every section on the filters IT LITERALLY COSTS MONEY TO USE HALF OF THEM. Same goes to the effects, plus even the selective I can’t use since there’s this auto AI option and even if I use manual and cancel the AI, it still costs money to save it. If you wanna make more sales, ADVERTISE YOUR APP AND/OR ADD MORE FEATURES THAT MAKE PEOPLE INSTALL YOUR APP, NOT MAKE ALMOST HALF OF EVERYTHING PRO WHICH LEAVES USERS TO USING LIMITED EDITING OPTIONS !!!

2026-05-28	ts*****	I used to use this app for everything but I downloaded it again on my new phone and they removed slimming and other features. Now its just lame and you’re just paying for the AI.

2026-05-26	Mi*****	Я оформила подписку и с ней возникли ужасные проблемы из-за непоследовательности и глупости разработчиков. Я хотела решить вопрос с поддержкой, но мне уже две недели никто не отвечает. Мерзко пользоваться таким хорошим приложением из-за такой ужасной поддержки.

2026-05-25	kr*****	Im a nail artist and have been using this app for months. I was using one specific filter for about 6 months on ALL of my photos. Now i have to pay monthly for it? So i found a similar one (not as well as i like) been using that for a month and a half and now theyre trying to charge me for that too. Im like 90% positive the app tracks what filters you use so they can eventually charge you. so not worth it

2026-05-23	su*****	This app has such amazing filters and ai-products. It is way better than other apps. A lot of this app is mostly free and very easy to use. 100% recommend getting this app.

2026-05-22	Bm*****	I’ve been using this app for a few months now and recently renewed my subscription. I cannot use the AI editor. I’ve tried using it on WiFi, switched to cellular data, restarted my phone, and reinstalled it. Every time I try to use it, a message pops up saying something went wrong. Try again later.

2026-05-19	ka*****	This app literally covers all my need! One suggestion: would be great if devs could add more cyrillic alphabet fonts. Please!

2026-05-16	Ze*****	When I first got this app over a year or two ago it was amazing; there were plenty of accessible features and little to no bugs. Now, however, it is completely unusable!! All of the features that allow you to edit by hand are now pro-only (at this point just use lightroom instead!!) and there have been numerous bug encounters where the non-pro features are unusable because the app thinks they are pro or it forces me to use the pro version and after undoing still disallows me from saving the edits!! Absolutely ridiculous

2026-05-15	Mo*****	I think it’s absolutely horrible that you have to pay for almost every feature on here. You could literally use apple’s Freeform and that would probably be better. The developers of this app probably won’t even see this because most companies with a decent amount of employees don’t respond to the bad reviews and they just try and get money out of it. They just keep on getting greedier and greedier. Don’t pay for this app. The one good feature is the AI expand, but I’m pretty sure they’re gonna make that cost money too.
