App is not working properly
Only if you pay, you can use few things...
unable to open App due to multiple ads .which lead confusion what is the correct app.
I took subscription in the app and since then that is almost 5 hrs app not working
What's the point of an editor that wont let you save the pic without paying it?
can't export or share the image without payment
no edits available
3rd class app not working
Trash app. Asks you to pay for saving the image lol. FAKE REVIEWS.
Bad Apk
not good
doesn't work
not what I expected. Once you pay, they don't let you unsubscribe. Stay away as this not a very good app
Ridiculously expensive app! You can't even save picture without paying. Do not recommend. And, btw,they offer nothing remarkable. If it will be something worthy, people would buy.
Scam
The right app for artificial looking AI unity stew. Anyone looking for that, it's probably great. I even have the license from buying the desktop version, but for the phone I'll stick with Snapseed and make my own decisions how I want to edit.
It only froze up and never started and then made it almost impossible to close out of it.
This app doesnt have change resolution function.Only useless filters..Please refund me because this is not what I need. Thank you.
No chance to try without giving away details. is this the future of android apps? shame. EDIT. Tx for response.No probs with signing up/paying for things I like. Working in the apps industry over 30 years but never asked a customer to see software large or small. You could be transparent & say you require potential customers to give you their information before seeing any features. Then we don't waste each other's time. No download, No review and no need for a response! Simples or illuminating!
totally useless
even lightroom has free to use feature.
can't be able to login on my android phone
very poor programing. not worth the cost!
Not able to open the photo says restart the app or try again later or contacts CC. not even able to open gallery photo.
quite useless
no way to save any file the option only dummy after you pay money then save
constantly hanging asking to close or wait... useless app
requires account before you a n e en edit a photo. how do I know if the software is any good if I can't even open it without giving away my private details?
100% not working android phone me
cannot download your picture after edit without purchase there membership.
saving/exporting edited pictures requires a subscription
apps don't open....wrost apps
Crapy app, no way of saving pictures unless you pay the high prices
doesnt work as advertised, and no refund provided even when ive used the app for only 15mins. strongly advice not to purchase one off payment. stick to the weekly subscription and decide if its suitable. dont make the same mistake i did. alternatively, stick with adone lightroom. a much more complete and polished editing app
This app did not even launch correctly for me. I wasn't able to import a picture and start any edits and immediately upon the first launch it was asking me to spend $48 for a lifetime access to Pro. what kind of logic is this? I haven't even used the app yet and it's already asking for money when you first launch it? This is not something that I can honestly recommend to anyone because to me it reads like a cash grab. It's possibly a great App with the bones and everything but I can't say.
waste of time it's about money
Unable to open any images.
Dont working on my device at all, and its first app ever for me that was so broken that it shows nothing else other black background with some dark orang-ish waves
you should make it clear what is pro/premium and what is not. or at least to add an option to remove all pro level edits.
maybe i just dont knpw what to do with this app .. i will upgrade if i find i am wrong ... it seems simplistic .. i didnt find therevwere many options to change my photo..
4 crop size options? That's it?! They don't even offer any option for the inverse size ratios, e.g. 4:5 & 5:4?? And what's with an image size of like a few inches when I have the screen real estate of a full size tablet? This software is very very obviously designed for use on a computer and then made into an app as a neat trick to sell more of their other products. It was NOT made for android first and that's obvious. It's a sub-par Android photo editing app.
Very good on pc, but useless on mobile phone or tablet. It just keeps downloading something and then refreshes and goes round in circles. Reinstalling on many different devices did not work as well. Works only on PC, the two stars are for the desktop version.
no .raw pictures can be opened
Update 2026: Nearly one year later and still no 2:3 or 3:2 crop option. 😭 Editing still wonderful, though. Original: Good editing experience overall, but only offering Free Form, Square, and various proprietary cropping formats is a shame. At least 2:3 and 16:9 should be present.
It doesn't have the masking feature like the desktop version
Luminar still strips location metadata from outputs, making it unusable for my needs. That's too bad, because I like this more than Lightroom but it seems I'm stuck with Adobe for the foreseeable future.
edits well....but toooooooo expensive...can't take screenshot....no way to share unless u pay money
