★★★★ Mune Game 6/21/2026 v2.1.0
​I have been very disappointed with my experience. As a user of a Samsung S26 Ultra, I expected to utilize the app to its full potential; however, several premium features are incompatible with my device. It is frustrating to pay for a service that I cannot fully use due to lack of optimization for current flagship hardware.
★★★★ Gábor Csapó-Keresnyei 6/19/2026 v2.2.1
false advertising, it is just another filter app
★★★★ Ameen Kdere 6/19/2026 v2.1.0

★★★★ DM Johnson 6/17/2026 v2.2.0
I have a paid subscription and The app keeps crashing on me, I can't even open it. I tried everything like clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling. This is absolutely ridiculous. there's always so many bugs with this app which is unfortunate because there's a lot of really good filters

★★★★ Sijay Luis 6/14/2026
not free for everyone
★★★★ S L 6/14/2026 v2.1.0
They should tell you that this app is not free prior to the download. They rope you in with a survey and try to get your credit card information. This is so scammy. Please consider best practices when conducting business and stick to full transparency from the get go.
★★★★ Mike 6/12/2026 v2.1.0
Sneaky subscription offer, thought I was on a free trial, cancelled my monthly subscription as it's not what I expected and my subscription doesn't expire until 12 months. Paying $19.99/m for something I am not going to use. Criminal.
★★★★ Sophie 6/12/2026 v2.1.0
While i did love this app for the filters and effects, it has crashed many times and now has even fully crashed my phone. That's where my patience ends. I've lost so much work over the months, because the app would just crash during the saving process.
★★★★ Shelby 6/9/2026
Used to be my number one photo editor. Now it's awful. Everything is behind a pay wall, including SAVING your picture. Also, all they care about is AI now. Absolute slop. -100/10
★★★★ Joseph Antony 6/8/2026
not good

★★★★ Michele Nieves (Michelesnow) 6/7/2026 v2.1.0
paid for app 2 years. used 2 weeks ago perfect then last week I get watermarks. no one responded to my email responding to theirs.
★★★★ AR Chile 6/7/2026
Why are all these apps the same? Asking for a subscription as soon as you download it. I don't want 3 trial days. You should ask people after their first video if they want to go premium and have a free limited one all the time. I'd purchase right away if it were like that. But that whole pushing a subscription on me right away... Annoying.
★★★★★ Ayesha Nadeem 6/22/2026
good app but u have to pay to export or save anything which ruins it for me, hella greedy. make it free ty
★★★★★ Lil ragazza 6/17/2026 v2.1.0
I was excited about it but when I used it for editing videos, it won't work. when I upload my video, in specific templates, at that time the app stops working and automatically closes and takes me back to home screen.
