About this app

Goodbye.

Vignette was created in 2009, when there were only two or three Android phones on the market, when developing Android apps was fun, and when apps didn't need to rely on subscription fees or ads to be sustainable. 15 years later, none of those things are true, and I cannot continue keeping Vignette running.

Vignette will remain available on the Play Store, but if it doesn't work on your device then it never will (but try turning on the "Use legacy camera API" setting, that helps for some devices).

Ratings and reviews

Many years ago when I bought this app I would have given 5 stars. It's changed so much that I can hardly use it now. Can't even find a basic crop tool for imported photos. The whole app has been dumb down for people who only have a 5 second attention span. There was a wide range of add on filters and stickers we could download. Don't see those on playstore anymore. Give us paid customers the option to download the original app. That's what I'd like to see cause that's what we paid for.

Had to write a review, don't know why I've never got around to it. I've used this app for years and Vignette must be the most overlooked photo app for Android out there. Its simply the best for filters, sure it hasn't got the quantity that some of the newer apps have but it does what it does so much better and uses your original camera resolution too. Not found a better Ilford filter anywhere. No ads and doesn't try and milk every penny out of you. Download it, you won't regret it.

I bought this expensive app primarily because it allowed me to save my Sony Xperia T snaps at their full 13mp. Once you get over that feature, just using the app is a very fiddly business. It seems impossible to just take pics and save them without having to choose to save, apply filters or delete. I had hoped that this app would work quicker than the stock Sony app but unfortunately with this smartphone it doesn't. Another gripe is that they didn't reply to my support question.
