Review summary

Cinelight offers a broad, film-inspired preset library that many users praise for delivering quick, high-quality color grading, especially for video. However, multiple reviews cite poor value for money and misleading pricing, plus repeated export/save issues that prevent saved edits or degrade export quality.

Pros

Wide range of presets and color grading options, including film-inspired presets, with a high-quality look.
Time-saving via pro presets that automate editing and reduce manual effort.
Easy to achieve professional-looking results for photos and videos.
Presets can elevate video projects and take video quality to the next level.

Cons

Poor value for money; many reviewers describe the app and its extra presets as a waste of money.
Upsell of remaining presets feels deceptive; advertising implies features that are not free.
Export and saving issues: edits may not save and exported videos may not appear in the camera roll, with noticeable quality loss on export.
