★★★★ "The same filters that are on snow basically except snow is free + doesn't make you watch ads and polarr tries to gouge you for money at every turn. Just download snow instead, or edit your photos yourself via something like Adobe lightroom!…" - Silas Lane

The same filters that are on snow basically except snow is free + doesn't make you watch ads and polarr tries to gouge you for money at every turn. Just download snow instead, or edit your photos yourself via something like Adobe lightroom! It's so weird how greedy a lot of the photo editing apps are, when they obviously didn't even create those filters, they are mostly basic filters offered on almost every editing app.
★★★★ Lis Ou 4/21/2026 v6.12.0
Almost everything is premium, even the basic editing tool isn't free. I didn't update this for years after finding out. It used to be good. just use a different app

nice app, but I cannot do anything without it screaming to subscribe to them. I love how you can share filters and use overlays like one would in a drawing app, though having the free version is VERY limited. you can barely edit your own photos beyond the filters, which you can only make changes to if you save them and you can only save three.
