## Review summary

Users generally praise the app for easy, intuitive editing and strong tools, but repeatedly complain about pricing/billing (3‑day trial leading to a high annual fee and misleading download claims), aggressive upsells and rating prompts, cancellation/support issues, and concerns about UI/UX changes or alleged design copying. These recurring issues create a mixed overall impression.

- Strong editing capabilities (exposure, brightness, sharpness) and nice filters.
- Produces beautiful results and supports common tasks like resizing and cropping.
- Generally positive sentiment with users calling it a capable photo editing tool.

### Cons

- Pricing model is confusing and expensive: a 3-day free trial followed by around $50/year, with some users misled by 'free to download' language.
- Pushy marketing and ads, including frequent upsells and requests to rate the app.
- Difficult cancellation and reports of unresponsive or unhelpful app support.
- Reports of unexpected charges (FaceID-triggered purchases) and unclear subscription terms.
- UI/UX concerns and allegations of copying or unsatisfactory redesign.
