Ratings and reviews

They wouldn't honor my lifetime subscription when I switched from Apple to Android. I've been a customer for over a decade, and the customer support agent couldn't seem to care less. At the very least, he could have asked for my subscription info, and provide a discount since they basically said I'd have to pay again. I ended up canceling based on principal.

I recently switched from iPhone to Android & was really disappointed w this app. On iPhone, you can swipe through pics before selecting a photo & when you're editing, you can tap on the picture to see the original to compare to. I didnt realize how much a difference those features made. Android doesn't have either & you have to start from album view and then scroll through anytime you want to change to a different picture. "clarify" is much nicer/clearer on iPhone too. Its all muddy on Android😣

I own the lifetime license on iOS and it is fantastic. It is astounding that the dev is asking for so much money via subscription only on droid, when the android version is so noticeably worse. huge letdown. I will not pay a subscription for a phone editing app unless it is absolutely bug free and fully featured... The fine color adjustments are also borderline useless. nice filters and effects. please god improve the droid version and offer a one time purchase. subscriptions suck.
