| 2023-01-04 |  | | Back when i first started using this years ago I wouldve easily given it 5 stars but it seems that in my absense things changed drastically. Upon installing this to use again I quickly learned that now, theres a " fee" for things and if you want certain "templates" or whatever you wish to call them you have to subscribe. Dont think i'll be using this much anymore. Sad, all the memories I had using photomania. |
| 2022-12-28 |  | | Unable to get past payment windows in order to try program. I see nothing indicating this is 100% paid function program, yet it is acting that way. I have PhotoMania on my laptop; I am able to access free material. It should be in large type on these app downloads that one must pay to access any content. I noticed "ads"...who in their right mind will pay for a program and watch ads? The ads to me indicate some free access but can't get around the Google Play payment windows, so uninstalling |
| 2022-06-11 |  | | I really enjoy using this app. I just really wish you could toggle the filters or perhaps if you were able to pick the photo you want to use before applying the filter. Maybe have the photo you pick be the example photo shown for each filter? That way you can preview what it will look like once the filter is applied? I love the app nonetheless but those are just my little suggestions. Anyways, keep up the great work! |
| 2022-01-30 |  | | I don't enjoy giving any less than 5 stars. However, this app lost the reason I used it. Previously, I thought the cartoon effects were the best I could find. The app used to be unique for the layering of effects on top of each other inside the same activity and saving was quick. I really wish the devs would bring back this feature and function design. Also, the price is steep. Perhaps a token system with 1 coin per export would get more subscribers. That's my advice. thx 4 the hard work devs! |
| 2021-12-25 |  | | Awful app. "Access to everything" during free trial is only possible by clicking the "Rate us with 5 stars" button in the popup. The popup appears before any filter can be used & the only options are to either rate 5 stars or exit. Unbelievable drivel. Uninstalled. |
| 2021-10-29 |  | | OK but... Made me rate five stars to "unlock everything" but that unlocked nothing extra beyond the free stuff. It's pretty expensive for just a filter based app. That's all it is. Filters. And you cannot adjust them. Can't brighten or sharpen or crop or anything. You'd have to go to another app or your gallery to adjudt. The ads aren't bad at all so I'll keep free version for now. OK but not worth $4.99/month /$23.99 a year (no purchase option). I'd pay $5.99 to own, NOT RENT. But no more. |
| 2021-04-12 |  | | This app went through a major update. They added lots of filters and kept my favorite ones. IMO, this app has the best algorithm for cartoon effects: subtle, not too "liney" and smooth. The monthly price is quite steep. At $4.99 I would hope to buy for at least a year or until next "major update" adding new and improved features. I'm a firm believer in devs getting paid for their work cause they really do put alot of tedious time into making everyone else's lives more fun. Still 5 stars, tho. |
| 2021-03-28 |  | | Me. Its ok. The effects and such are kind of childish. You can't crop the pictures, or move the frames to frame better. I'm literally just keeping it because I like a few of the frames. Also lots of the "effects" don't apply to the picture when you click or tap them. Many of them are pretty cheesy. I'll be looking for another photo editing app. I really wouldn't recommend this one. I'm actually just going to do a few pictures with the very few effects and frames I like then delete this app. |
| 2021-03-21 |  | | A VERY basic, uninteresting, uninspiring and mostly very childish app. A large amount of the so-called "Effects", like the Filters, etc. are far too similar to each other, and offer very little variation to make this app useful/worthwhile! NOT recommended. Uninstalled. |
| 2021-02-12 |  | | I downloaded the app to my phone, everytime I would pick out the photo I wanted to put a frame around, it would come back saying "something went wrong, try again". I had tried this about 6 or 7 times with no results so, I went in and deleted the app!!! This is very frustrating because, I have used this app in the past and really enjoyed some of the frames they have. This is really a bummer, hopefully they can figure out what the glitch is so they don't loose anymore customers. |
