Error constante al querer guardar
Ni si quiera me deja guardar, se “sobre satura” y el programa explota, y me saca, y todo mi progreso NO se guarda

Unable to use active paid subscription after I upgraded my phone from android to apple
My Issue was not resolved. I have an active paid subscription in my android phone that I am not able to use with my new apple phone. I upgraded my phone and cannot use it anymore. Terrible process where i am not able to log into my account from android to new apple phone. Solution was to pay for another subscription. Not acceptable solution. Disappointed with this app/ company/ customer service.
Don’t understand how any of it works

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR FREE TRIAL
Signed up for a three day “free trial” just to see that I was charged $47.99. Made a refund request and was denied. Reached out to the customer support and was told they could not help me. This is completely illegal and I will be taking action.
Fraud
I downloaded this app as a free trial. It didn’t do what I wanted it to do, so I cancelled the subscription without a few minutes of download. They charged me anyway.
Scam!!
I selected to try the 3 day FREE trial and my card was instantly charged for a YEAR SUBSCRIPTION. I have video proof (screen recording) you can see I selected the 3 day free trial and yet immediately my card was charged. I looked for an email but this apps support didn't show one so at least I can warn others while I reach out to apple. Unacceptable.
Worst app ever
OK, I got this app and I was using it for months and I loved it but then it kept saying that I had a virus and then I told my grandma about it and she said it was a virus told me to immediately deleted it. This game is trying to give me a virus so I just deleted it permanently. Don’t get this app. It’s horrible. I don’t know how people are putting really good reviews of this app it’s so bad don’t get this app It’s horrible. It’s the worst I’ve ever. had
SCAM
Got charged on free trial, SCAM!!!
Careful with messing around with this app!
Charged $65 a year when it wasn't even purchased and refuse to refund money! Not even worth money.
Disappointed with the update
Great app, but with this new update a lot of the free features are now under the subscription. Disappointed
If new, advanced features were added, those should have been under the subscription, but what was originally created free should have stayed free.

Stopped working
Are use this app for the gesture control feature and it stopped working entirely. Please fix it. This is super annoying.
Will change my review if fixed
I’m not using any premium features and yet it’s not allowing me to save the photos I’m taking which the app has never done before…not sure if there was a recent update that may be causing this error or if it’s even an error at all…
I HATE THIS APP NEVER AGAIN I WILL USE THIS APP
I hate this app why can't it be free!!!!! And I can't Evan screen shot!!!!
Do not download this app!!
I was trying to sign up for the free trial, FREE being the imperative word, and it try to charge my card 90 dollars! Now it’s continuing to try and charge my card!! It just took out 3 dollars it just tried to charge 62 dollars as I’m writing this!! Unreal DO NOT download this app!’
App not taking photos. I only had it for a month
App not taking photos. I only had it for a month
Such a scam!
This app is a scam 1.not free 2.asks for all your photos delete this app now!
TRASH Scam!!
I selected the 3 free day trial, before I double clicked it said 0.00 would be charged today, then all of a sudden it’s trying to charge me $64.19! For what! I didn’t request a subscription! That’s a scam! I canceled the subscription not even 12 hours of having selected 3 free day trial. That’s very misleading and scam activity! To this day I still can’t download apps because that charge is still pending trying to charge me for it! Scam!
Disappointed
I’ve had this app for a year. I pay for it yearly. I use it almost daily. Well it renewed today for the year, took my $50 and now nothing in the app works. I’ve tried uninstalling/installing again and still nothing. I tried reaching out to the customer service, no response. This is beyond frustrating. It’s telling me I have no subscription and telling me there’s an error. This is ridiculous. Just take peoples money.
Fraud/No Free Trial Just Immediately Charged For Yearly After Signing Up For 3 Day Trial
I was prompted with a 3 day free trial for premium benefits with this app and upon sign up was charged $65 for the entire year. I did not agree to a yearly subscription, I agreed to a 3 day trial. This is unprofessional and misleading because there is no trial involved. False advertisement
Scam
I try the app for less than 3 days when I try to cancel the subscription they automatically charge my credit card
WONT LET ME PUT A SINGLE VID
DS!jhcgalsjdhfgalsjhdfg what is wrong with y’all??? You are rude I wish I could put ,hjadcvvalejhfcgaefukhvgad A SINGLE VIDDDDDDDDDDS
Horrible
OK, first of all what the hell do you mean I have to pay just to edit a photo second of all what the hell do you need money for? I’m confused. This app is horrible. You guys should not get it.
Credits?
What do you mean I just paid $60 for the app and now I can't do stuff because I don't have credits?
Why am I paying for ads ???
I pay for the yearly subscription and I get a ton of ads now after I take one photo. What’s the point of me paying $50 if I get an ad after every picture? It’s not even worth taking photos on here anymore. Going to cancel my subscription.
Great at First, THEN You Got Greedy
This app used to be amazing. Now literally 1% of all the features are free to use, forcing people to pay nearly $100 a year for the rest of the 99%. Greed wins the day again. It was fun while it lasted. Shame on all greedy developers. ZERO STARS
Buyer Beware!
Buyer Beware - Charged $63.59 After Canceling “Free Trial” Within Minutes!
I am writing regarding a $63.59 charge for the BeautyPlus app subscription.
I downloaded the app and enrolled in what was advertised as a free trial. After reviewing the app for approximately five minutes, I decided it was not for me and immediately canceled the subscription. Despite canceling right away and not using the service, I was still charged the full annual subscription fee!
I contacted Apple Support and spoke with two advisors, including a senior advisor. Both confirmed that I canceled promptly. However, my refund request was denied without explanation, due to the bad ethics of this Beauty Plus app company, and I was advised that I could file a formal report regarding this poor app company, which I did!
As the owner of an international PR firm, I find this situation to be extremely poor public relations. Charging customers after they cancel a free trial almost immediately - without clear and transparent communication - damages trust and reflects poorly on the company.
I canceled immediately, did not use the service, and requested a full refund. The denial of that refund is both disappointing and concerning.

Used to love it fire the new guy
I used to love beauty plus but since January 2026, they have changed it and it is horrible Whoever needs the changes need to be fired. I have just deleted and ended
It’s sad
I only use this app to use the acne touch up feature to remove a scar from a piercing and I don’t use anything else. Now the ache remover has become a paid feature and I can’t justify paying for this app for that one thing. It’s such a bummer because I’ve been using this app for years
They steal your money
They took my money denied me a refund
🤬 😡🤬
Hi... this app is going from bad to worse!!! It doesn't do what they say... perfect skin...!! 🤬🤬 Terrible!! Uninstalled🥵😡😡😡
It good but it asking to pay
I used to love this app so much but then I got to the point where it’s starting to want to charge $50 annually or pay $11 a month which I don’t think it’s pretty cool since it first started off as free. That’s the only issue that I have here.
can’t use it anymore….
I have used this app several times a week for YEARS. I have a premium membership. today I went to edit some photos and it said there are no photos found and that beautyplus needs access to my photo album to edit (i’ve used it for years and had no issue?) not sure how it changed. went to my app settings as it prompted me to and there is no option to allow access to photos. I deleted it and re-downloaded it and the same issue. if this doesn’t change I will demand my money back for the length that I have had it and never come back. fix immediately!!!!!!
Focus
The filters are jumping off and on losing focus on the whole head and face glitching it’s not stable please fix the features are not working properly or I’m have to cancel subscription.
Bug issues
Why is it I use certain options and then the options I use randomly disappear as if it’s not even an option anymore? Where did it go and why? The wavy hair, and soft and straight hair.. stop and fix these issues or I won’t renew, this is ridiculous at this point
Not nice
The app is becoming blur and it’s annoying
nothing is free
it ask money for every feature
Have to pay to use almost everything
Impossible to use if you don’t pay a subscription, most of the features on the app can be found free online and better quality.
Don’t waste your money
They take your money for a service that is severely lacking.
Important features used to be free, now they cost money
I’m going to find a better photo editing app.
Free Trial Scam
“Free trial” option doesn’t work. Forces you to pay to even just try the app and see what it’s capable of.
DISAPPOINTED
I was unfairly charged twice for subscription using this app. First $54.30 then $36.82. I have been using this app for YEARS now and I feel cheated.
“Free trial” SCAM
I clicked on the 3-day free trial. I was only planning to use it for a single moment so then a couple hours later I canceled the subscription and saw that they charged me… so it wasn’t a free trial. F- liars. Be careful with the “free trials” guys.
Refund me I got charged for a free trial.
I’ve sent multiple emails and never got a response I tried on Apple.com and it’s not working I never intended to get the subscription I clicked on a free trial.
Meh 🫤 🤨🤔
This game was fun till it wasn’t. Every time I did the eraser effect it wouldn’t allow me too unless I signed up for something. I did NOT like that. I also had several other effects that just wouldn’t work. I wish they wouldn’t make you pay for some of these cool effects. I am not allowed to pay for stuff or get a free trial without permission and my parents don’t do that so please allow some things to be free. 🙄🥺🙏
