Ratings and reviews

Would love to give an actual review of this, but the app is completely gated off behind a paywall. Even the free 7 day trial is not available without credit card info, which is obviously a ploy to make you pay if you don't cancel in time or making it very hard to cancel at all. Judging by all the reviews on here that had exactly that happen, I'm glad I deinstalled immediately. I don't buy something I have literally not seen, especially with so many amazing free apps available.

Export issues... Whenever I export photos or videos and save to my phone they show as a black image. Most photos save as corrupted so I cannot use them! It seems to be when I edit in black and white more than colour, why? It's been 3 years since my last review saying the same thing and NOTHING has been fixed! Especially as the prices are increasing, again, this should not be an issue! Please fix asap!

This app is absolutely the best for simple editing and (especially) filters on the store. I only refuse to give 5 stars purely based on the fact that you have to pay for use of many of the filters that we used to get for free in the past. As photos are the main thing I use my smartphone for, I find VSCO very worth it and I am a member. However, for the average user that simply wants to just edit photos and won't use it as much, not worth paying for.
