User Reviews

Users praise LensFlare Optical Effects for being intuitive and powerful, with realistic lens flare and sunburst effects and multiple editable layers. It’s valued across Mac and iPad workflows. However, crashes and instability are the most frequent complaints, especially on startup or when loading/editing photos. Additional drawbacks include export quality degradation, limited ability to reposition flares, and device/UI compatibility issues on newer devices. Some updates have removed favorite flares or introduced bugs, prompting requests to restore older presets and to save layers for reuse.

These apps are some of my best tools for editing pics! I barely even share what app I use, I keep it a secret! And you will too! The only thing I’d like is to control the second end of the flare, but very good!
