1/5SURPRISE!
The app that you payed for a a “lifetime” of updates by paying for while others used a free version supported by ads thus putting your money towards funding developing the app and that you’ve used maybe 3 times is now a subscription! And the money you payed to help said developer has disappeared. Poof. By clicking “update software” that “needs to be updated” you have hither too forfeited any rights you have payed for henceforth. We “said app developer” have “NO” intention of hoodwinking any future suckers (CURRENT COMPANY EXCLUDED) into throwing their hard earned money into making HD 4K digital video look like it was shot on outdated hardware. I’m sure it has to be constant grueling backbreaking work to update the software. Every month must be so labor intensive I can not believe you are brave enough to charge this monthly fee.

1/5Update erased all my footage + ap new layout is confusing slow and crashes every few minutes now
Your update that was essentially forced on me across all my devices, erased all my footage, inside the ap, years of it, some priceless things from that same day gone (never made it to my photos or any backup) there’s all these weird pay incentives for customization now. It’s all junk, the ap doesn’t work anymore it shuts down while recording and the new layout really makes it feel like all the film stock emulators have lost quality across the spectrum. I used and championed this ap for a decade maybe. I really would appreciate a downgrade back to the old version so I can keep using it. I’d gladly change my 1 star rating and continue using it and championing it. Thank you.

1/5Used to be good
They changed the UI, which was amazing before. I wish they would go back to the old UI because this is boring and bland and looks like every other Photo app now. The original app was one of the best apps for retro video that I owned. Now, it is useless to me. Also, they should have added an in app purchase instead of a subscription because this app never gets updated. they could’ve at least grandfathered in the original people that paid for this app 15 years ago and rarely got updates. Still, I stuck with this app, sent at least 15 emails to the developers and never received a word, and I refuse to pay a subscription for an app that I owned, a horrible UI change, 1 that does not get updated, and developers that do not respond. They used to have a lot of apps in the App Store that I purchased, which became abandoned where. This was a fantastic app, and if they listen to their customers, they would revert to the old app or at least make a legacy app for the people who supported them through throughout the years.

5/5Value for money
In an age where a “decent” app requires a monthly subscription including a quart of your blood, an app like this is amazing. Firstly, the effects of phenomenal, especially if you’re into making arty / edgy style movies for creative reasons (my favourite filter is the 1920s). Secondly, it is long supported by the developers though they’re not sucking dry the people who originally bought the app as a once-off purchase. The only way we’ll get apps like this again to be common place is if we only subscribe to services that deliver significant content regularly (like streaming services) and turn out backs on apps that initially started off as a once off buy but then changed it into a subscription model basically forcing you into B s subscriptions. It’s a “Greed is Good” mentality and it only works if we let it. Rather, for innovation’s sake, support apps like this, then look into their latest pay once apps and support them that way. Otherwise app tech just stagnates and grows incriminately.

5/5Worth it!
Worth the money. This is the coolest app I’ve ever bought. The filters are great. The borders are great. The manual jitters are great. It’s easy to upload video to it. You have flash and front-facing camera. It’s an aesthetically pleasing design—and a design that strikes the perfect balance between plenty of effect options and button minimalism for ease of use. Also, there are no pay blocks once you’re in the app like other vintage filter apps (it doesn’t demand you upgrade to a pro service or subscribe to anything; every feature is unlocked). Not disappointed in the least. Will be using this for fun and for art projects.
