2/5ads are ruining the app
i used the app a few years ago as my main photo app, and it was great. ads pretty minimal, but where expected, granted the camera didnt do front-flip or flash with the flip after it was added. i redownloaded bc i got some pretty high quality pics without being pressured to buy the pro version or having ads and offers for reviews shoved down my throat, but thats really what it is now. If you take a batch of photos, not even a ton and have to swipe back and forth to edit or tweak them in app, EVERY single swipe pops up a review prompt, entering and exiting the editing mode will prompt an ad or a offer to buy their premium version, and its always followed by MORE review prompts at the end. overall it is a really good camera app, the effects and filters are nice, and even the free version you get a lot of value from, and i love that. the ads are killing the entire experience though. snap a few selfies, and wanna tweak the light leaks or forgot to change the base filter? enjoy at least 2 minutes of battling prompts and ads.

5/5Super cool & can make very good pics!
Listen, I am big into an app when it’s good and easy for me to make my pictures look very aesthetically pleasing! I mean I will use it for years on end and make it my one and only go to. This was the Huji app for me mainly( and also the KUNI app but less so.) but this one is so much more customizable and the settings being adjustable and the cool features being added such as grain and light effects make this such a great way to feel confident about my photos and also a fun and useful way to spend my time! I’m happy I found this app, wish I found it sooner but can’t wait to see what additional features are available and added onto it in the future. Thanks for making my photo editing a fun, easy, exciting and special experience. I am a loyal fan forever! 🩵🩵🩵

5/5Great Free Options
I’m really enjoying this app! It offers so many great vintage filters and overlays that help make my photos look awesome! Recently, more and more apps that claim to be “free” don’t actually offer free services. You may download the app for free, but in order to use anything, you would need to pay for it. With this app, however, it gives you plenty of free options to use and they are great! If you want to unlock another feature, then you pay, but it’s not mandatory. Dear developers, your app is great, please keep it this way & don’t take away the free options down the line like so many other apps are doing! Thank you!

4/5Great filters
I really like this app, the filters are all really nice and you get a good selection of them without having to pay. The quality of them is also great, all the pictures I’ve taken with it have come out amazing. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is that after the first few days, for some reason it stopped mirroring the front camera. After I take the picture it will flip it so it’s mirrored, but not when I just have the camera on (basically the opposite of what the standard iPhone camera does) I don’t know what changed, but I’ve messed with the “mirror front camera” switch and deleted and reinstalled the app, but to no avail. I don’t know if this is a feature or a bug, but I hope it gets fixed!
