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😣

This was the first app I ever purchased a decade ago, and it was advertised as a one time payment. Now I've lost all the features I already paid for, and it's asking me to pay a reoccurring subscription. My app purchase no longer counts even though it was supposed to be permanent... I don't like false advertising. Uninstalled. If you want to take away the paid features that we already paid for, you should be refunding your customers who paid for the app outright.

before the app update this used to be a great app and my go to for editing photos- you could go straight from your album to edit pictures with it, now you have to separately open the app and it crashes regularly. All the good filters are gone now as well that I used to use all time
