Afterlight Photo Editor for Negative User Reviews
✓ This was my favouriteThis was my favourite photo editing app and now it crashes/freezes every time I edit any photo. What happened?? Very upset to lose this app. It was the most reliable and had so many features. Now it’s completely useless ):.Version: 4.2.1
✓ Great app!First off, let me start by saying that this app has an amazing and misleading icon. When you actually go into the app, there isn’t much to be done. All there are are a bunch of crappy destructive filters that NO ONE wants on top of their photo and a couple adjustment options. (Like 7 and most of them are only available for the pro version). 2/5 stars is GENEROUS! Also only like 3 of the horrendous filters are free/ without pro version. Honestly. Save your money. You could get a WAY better app with better filters! Don’t upgrade to pro version (waste of time) and don’t even get the app because it’s also a waste of time. If you want your pictures to have a more professional and aesthetic look, look elsewhere! With all due respect, I think this app needs a LOT of remodeling.. ❤️.Version: 2.4
✓ Subscription Model is a hard pass for meI’ve been using this app as my go-to mobile photo editing app since about 2012, before there was any native photo editing in iOS. I happily paid for it back then and it’s absolutely felt worth it, the features are great, it’s served me well. This morning I tried to open the app and got an error: I need to upgrade before it’ll work on this iOS. Imagine my surprise I re-download from the app store and am bombarded with “free trial” buttons that won’t disappear enough for me to use the top portion of the screen and a constant reminder that if I want to keep using this app, I’ll have to pay for it, again and again, forever. Unfortunately I already do that with Adobe for work, so I guess I’ll have to switch over to Lightroom. I would have been willing to pay another flat fee once for upgrades, but not to buy into another subscription. Really disappointed, I really liked this app..Version: 3.7
✓ CrashesCrashes every time I try to open it...Version: 2.9.5
✓ Photos aren’t savingMy photos are not saving to my gallery after I PAID for my membership. Nothing to do with storage space the app is always glitching..Version: 2.5
✓ Fraudulent - Photos and Fusion Filter TheftPaid 28.99 annually, was locked out after 3 months, forced to pay again, and remained locked out of my own fusion apps. Unable to do my own work with the fusion apps I had created. Considering my fusion filters now stolen. Have wasted 90.00 on trying to access what I had for the first 3 months…..no reply from Administrators. BEWARE. Theft of photographs and fusion filters occurring. Reported to Apple.Version: 4.3
✓ DisappointingIts not as great as the original, the compromises aren’t satisfying. i cannot even get a refund either :(.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Crashes after saving editNo point spending so much time editing a pic only for it to crash every single time when you save it.Version: 2.5
✓ Confusing, but amazing editing platformAt the beginning on my time experimenting with my photography and “selfie culture” this was one of the first editing apps I tried. Opening it up I just saw loads of symbols most of them which are actually paid purchases! Frustrating yet determined to find a more simplistic photography enriching software, I deleted the app. Fast forward six months, my Instagram game is on point- gaining 1,040 followers. So after also seeing my other Instagram inspirations and favorite accounts, and how professionally they were editing their photos I had to dive deeper. I later stumbled upon Afterlight again and decided to attempt to learn the tools so I could achieve the light leak aesthetic look. After about a week of getting used to the controls and organizing, I paid for the full version (which turned out to be relatively inexpensive) which encouraged me to completely change my theme to one of more happiness and color. Definitely recommend! xx.Version: 1.6
✓ OkOriginal Afterlight is way better. Layering and design tools are ok. Probably wouldn't buy again..Version: 1.0
✓ :(There’s a couple light leak border type things that aren’t on this new afterlight 2.Version: 1.9
✓ Double dippersI use to love this app so much and even paid for all the extra filters and features. Since the last update the app I had constantly crashes and has been replaced with this version which requires a subscription. I won’t pay again and won’t bother with the app anymore 🙄.Version: 4.4
✓ Release 2.6With the release of this latest version what happens to existing Lifetime licenses?.Version: 2.6
✓ ScammersI paid good money for both afterlight 1 and one day it stops working, then I pay more money for afterlight 2, some time later it ALSO stops working. Then I find out it’s because they want to release yet another app, this time “free” so that they can hussle money out of you by offering paid membership. Ridiculous. I’m so disappointed as it was my favourite editing app and would have continued to be without these continuous money grabbing tactics..Version: 2.3
✓ Constantly crashesThis is a fantastic app with a lot to offer however it seems to crash constantly. Especially when editing directly from the photo. I also notice not all effects are accessible this way which is a shame..Version: 1.4
✓ Keep crashingJust bought it, but apps keep crashing in the middle of editting Please fix this asap.Version: 1.7.2
✓ New updateMy app won’t open since it updated 2 weeks ago..Version: 2.3.1
✓ CrashKeeps crashing.Version: 2.0.1
✓ CrashingI’ve had this app for years but now I can’t seem to use the app without it crashing as soon as I try and open it..Version: 4.8.1
✓ Used to be so much betterI’ve used this app for ages and loved it, majority of filters all free and used to be my go to for editing my Instagram pictures. However, since getting this app on a new phone and new Apple ID, finding out that the majority of filters that used to be free are now only available if you’re a member! Disappointing!.Version: 2.5
✓ I’ve been using Afterlight for years, and I’m disappointed that this new version is still slow.I love Afterlight. I really do. Its been one of my primary iPhone photo editing apps for years, mainly for the filters. I really love the color overlay in this new version, as well as all the new filters. They’re awesome! What I’m disappointed in, is that Afterlight (1) always tended to be on the slower side. Not just compared to other photo editing apps, but even compared to other apps in general. I was really hoping that would change with this app. But saving photos causes it to freeze, picking filters sometimes makes it freeze. It’s not close to the end of the world, but it is frustrating. You guys rock. I’ve been Afterlighting for years and I’m going to stick with it.Version: 1.1
✓ Beyond frustratingThis used to be a great app - now it is so frustrating to use. Very slow to load camera roll and once you save an image it freezes every time if you want to edit a second image. You have to quit the app and relaunch every time. Sort it out!.Version: 2.6
✓ 2 starThis app has good potential, they should fix the bug that causes the app to crash when you save a photo (always after wasting time editing a photo, only to start fresh) - strange it will always save on the second attempt. This has been occurring for months, the developers should address this immediately! I’m disappointed, considering I’ve paid for this app. Better options at zero cost!.Version: 2.5
✓ App keeps crashingThe app keeps crashing and I've done everything to stop it. I want my money back cause it's a waste.Version: 1.5.1
✓ No iPad version?The second edition doesn’t feel like a major update to me. And I still like using the first version more because it has a iPad edition..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Overcharging money, want a refundI have purchased this app, while it lives up too what I wanted, I’m very disappointed that I’ve been charged twice in less than a week. I would like a refund, as this app is expensive and not worth the money if this is going to keep happening..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Gone downhillApp is disappointing! Used to use it years ago and now all the same filters that used to be free they want you to pay an ongoing membership to use now. Ridiculous. Can find very similar filters on free apps. And what is hilarious is the app developer for this app doesn’t respond to complaints like mine or similar even though years ago I bought certain filter packs and now you have it blocked. Where’s my refund for those filters I paid for and not allowed to use anymore? Scammers Update, they asked me to email them. I did and they said I should have been grandfathered in but I’m not and they did nothing to fix that and stopped responding! Not to be trusted!!.Version: 4.9
✓ Shuts down constantlySo I’ve been working with this app for YEARS. As good as it gets, now the shut down glitches are more happening than ever. Sometimes I do a very basic change such as reframing or leveling the photo, then it all goes white, or even a small darkening turns the screen (not the photo) almost black. The worst bug is when you change filters to try the effects on your photo, it shuts down the whole app 40% of the time. Soooooo annoying . And if you want to experience the 100% shut down odds, you create a fusion, then you apply it on your photo, then you modify the shades or anything else, and go try create a new fusion from your modified fusion at the last step of the app, you’ll gets shut down automatically. Always . And I’ve contacted the admin many times, they don’t do much aside of asking if my device softwares is updated . They eventually respond after days, maybe weeks. Then they might ask for a screen shot of the problem you’ve been experiencing, but it’s very difficult to do so ne cause the shuts down are mostly random so you can’t really recreate the same “mistake” and get a proof of the shut down on screenshot ... Anyways . Good luck.Version: 3.5
✓ Not worth the priceBefore this app cost a few bucks, now it costs the same amount every month. If you own your device for say 4 years, it’s now going to cost 48 times as much. Well, the app didn’t get 48 times better and it’s not even like it has a particularly extensive set of features compared to other similar apps on the store. Not worth your money..Version: 2.1
✓ Please fixI loved version 1 and only updated because I was forced to. Why does version 2 crash consistently?? Please fix ASAP :(.Version: 1.6
✓ DO NOT BUY THIS APPI just purchased this app for “$4.50” and I’ve been charged $21.00 ?????.Version: 1.5.1
✓ I suggest other apps..?I only downloaded the app yesterday and just came to use it. i cannot edit ANY photos from my camera roll and i’ve tried multiple. the app only lets me edit pictures took within the app using the camera. when editing these pictures the app seems pretty amazing, but it’s pointless as i can’t edit any from the camera roll. really upset i wasted my money in this :(.Version: 1.3
✓ Spoiled by subscriptionAnother very promising app, that I would happily buy for a reasonable one-off price. But not subscription. Most of the interesting things you can do with this app can’t even be applied to an image and saved, without signing up. )-: Quite why developers think non-corporate customers want to rent software is a mystery. Deleted. Nic.Version: 2.2
✓ CrashingI always use the app, and I have for so many years, it’s been my go to for photo editing, but as of recently, I can’t even open the app:/.Version: 4.6
✓ Original Version was much betterNew version isn’t that great...Version: 1.5.1
✓ Not fit for purpose on any iPad.I visited App Store from my iPad, and saw that Afterlight 2 was featured on the front page as ‘App of The Day.’ With this in mind, I downloaded this app specifically for use my iPad Pro. So bearing in mind that I visited the App Store from my iPad and downloaded Afterlight 2 on my iPad, one would’ve expected Afterlight 2 to be a full iPad app. However, this app has not been optimised for any iPad model, including the iPad Pro I use, but uses a ported iPhone version. I find this to have been misleading as it was inferred that this was an iPad app, when it is clearly not. In practice, I have also found the app to be unusable with the reduced, poor screen renderings and for my purposes, Afterlight 2 on the iPad is of no use to me whatsoever..Version: 1.0
✓ Disappointed..It’s nothing like the old version of Afterlight, I loved the old app a lot more...Version: 2.8
✓ Rip-offThis app isn’t like any of the images you see. It’s all fake, and you won’t achieve that. Yes, you can brighten images up and darken them, but only to the whole image. You can’t do that cool photo of the girls hair on a phone, it’s not even an option. I watched a video from 2014 and it had it then, but not the type you think. You would have to edit the whole photo or retake it to fit and it could take up to 5 hours doing it. There is no blending option or blur tool so you can’t even do that, but if there was again it’s only for the whole image and not parts of it. There are good parts about this app but not many, and unless this app upgrades itself then I do not recommend it..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Great in app experience - rubbish patch if you edit through photosNot sure of the tech terms here but whenever I edit photos via using the app though iPhoto it crashes, tried reinstalling and it made the problem worse. All of my photos are organised in folders so it’s a small annoyance that I can’t edit them as they sit within that folder. The app itself works brilliantly but the save function just adds to the camera roll - a small niggle it what would otherwise be my go to app for editing photos..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Not much differentLess filters than the original one..Version: 1.0
✓ Nothing for the ones who bought the app?The app itself is great with tons of effects. But I downloaded this app at the time when it was a paid app. I purchased this app and was able to use all the features. But they recently changed their business model and turned into a subscription app which has been very disappointing because now I can’t use all the features as I did before. And I will have to subscribe for it even tho I already for it years ago. Free features are average at best so I’m just gonna shift to another one..Version: 4.5.4
✓ Crashing on new updateWhen selecting allow notifications as well as filters.....Version: 2.9
✓ CrashKeeps crashing. Very Annoying..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Garbage unless you subscribeAnother misleading app that is garbage unless you get duped in to paying repeatedly. I needed to do some simple clone edits on a photo, can’t with this app. Whole photo filters and artsy edits only if you sign up..Version: 4.5.1
✓ Not a fanThis new update requires you to pay for a subscription for tools that you used to be able to use for free or pay for just a one time and have it forever. The design also isn’t as easy to use as if originally used to be..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Doesn’t have same filters as Afterlight 1Has a lot of great editing features, but doesn’t have my favorite filters. Also still has the same loading problems as afterlight 1. Probably wouldn’t buy it again..Version: 1.3
✓ Stick with Afterlight 1As another reviewer stated, there’s really no reason to get this if you have the original. I bought this partly in protest of VSCO’s walling in of new features to their annual fee. However, I quickly realized this app is largely a reskin of Afterlight 1. Notably, frames/borders are missing altogether; this was a feature I used frequently in Afterlight 1. Further, the quality of filters is noticeably poorer than VSCO in my option. Here, they appear artificial. I also found it difficult and unintuitive to try and create my own to save and use for future use. Overall, I’d say VSCO>Afterlight 1>Afterlight 2. At the very least, all of Afterlight 1’s features should be included here. I hope my money might go to such additions..Version: 1.3
✓ Paid for app; now they want more money. Thieves.Do not get this app. They just ripped me off. A bunch of features I paid for are now for purchase. Completely unethical..Version: 2.1
✓ Crashes constantlyFreezes and crashes and needs continual rebooting.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Refund requestHi I was not able to use the app ever since I paid for the app. The developer got back to me that there’s no solution for my case. Can you please provide me a refund..Version: 2.1
✓ Frames missingBring back frames please.Version: 1.6
✓ AwfulI had an iPhone 6s Plus and accidentally deleted the original after light and I couldn’t fault it amazing app but just got an iPhone 8 Plus and downloaded this new one afterlight 2 it’s rubbish £2.99 for absolute rubbish, app is lagging behind click on one thing and it takes ages to select it. What a waste of money absolute waste of money! Should have just kept the original..Version: 1.4
✓ App keeps crashingNot sure what happened, maybe the new iPhone update? But my app keeps crashing when I try to open it. Please advise.Version: 2.9.5
✓ ReviewNot a fan. Too fiddly to use and doesn’t do what I was hoping - to be able to create black and white photos with one colour selected..Version: 1.6
✓ Internet Connection IssuesUsed to love this app and now it just keeps saying that I need internet connection to use a photo, and I totally have internet connection. Very aggravating. Other than that(which is obviously the main thing, because I cannot use it otherwise), it is great..Version: 3.3.1
✓ New version issuesI’ve been using this app for years, after the recent update on my iPhone, I found all my photos, when accessed through Afterlight showed up pixilated, and never focused. I deleted and then redownloaded the app thinking it could just be a bug, but found the photos, while better still refused to focus while in the app. I went ahead and did some light but noticeable editing, saved and when back to view the new photo through my phones photo app to see if the issue was just in the viewing but found the saved edited photo to be unfocused still. I’ve tried this once more but still have the same issue. Sad that I will not have to find a new editing app..Version: 2.1
✓ CrashingI’ve used afterlight for years, since the first version. It’s worked fine until now, when it crashes trying to access the filters. Please fix it!.Version: 4.5.1
✓ Miss the originalReally disappointed. Original Afterlight had my favourite filters, I’m so sad! Also used original Afterlight to resize my photos to fit different frames and this doesn’t have that option. Wish I could un-buy..Version: 1.4
✓ App doesn’t workI bought a yearly subscription for this app but my app doesn’t even work. It just crashes every time I open it. Not happy.Version: 3.7
✓ Where’s the bordersI used to love the app for its filters. But I chose to use this app because of their borders. Now there’s none and I’m very disappointed.Version: 3.3
✓ Purchased as a paid app now becomes a subscription serviceI don’t know how Apple can allow companies to pull this. If you have a premium paid app and want to turn it into a subscription service, you should absolutely have to create it as a new app on the App Store. Even if you stop updating the paid app. It can be abandoned and remain as it is/was forever, With its functionality remaining in place. Businesses that turn a paid app into a subscription service and block functionality for those who actually paid money for the product are acting in bad faith! this is essentially stealing from your customers! after Light,, do you have any comment? Or are you just going to ignore the hundreds of reviews that are stating this exact same thing?And I’m honestly asking. Obviously, you aren’t going to reverse the decision. But I would like to hearThe thought process and/or justification..Version: 4.5.1
✓ Shuts me outThe app is great and amazing, wonderful for beginner photographers however my only two cons is that I’ll be near the end of editing and the app will shut me out and then I have to restart all over again so I tend to save my photos every once and a while to make sure that it will be saved and when you click on a tool, for instance the grain tool, it will take forever for it to load and then to save it it takes a while also, I still use it for all of my photos I take, would recommend unless these two things might annoy you or if you need to like do a really quick edit, I don’t think the tools taking forever to load will amuse you.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Frustrated & AnnoyedI’ve just subscribed and glad I didn’t pay upfront, I was starting to get the spinning ball of death and thought maybe a subscription might fix it! How wrong was I, I was batch editing images and yet again when loading it keeps freezing! This app got highly rated from Peter McKinnon, shame it’s a let down..Version: 4.9.1
✓ Legacy users are being left behind?Afterlight is a great app, but it’s extremely disappointing that Afterlight 2 users are the only ones receiving ‘benefits’ and People, like me, who previously purchased What’s now considered Afterlight Legacy/ its filter packs are basically left with an app (the legacy version) that will presumably become outdated, especially since this new subscription based Afterlight has absorbed the place of both the Legacy Afterlight (which isn’t even publicly available on the App Store anymore) and Afterlight 2. I’m by no means against the introduction of subscription based transaction, as it does allow the app to have longevity- I just feel the complete disregard of people who bought the original Afterlight (legacy) to be very disappointing..Version: 2.1
✓ Subscription-locked, too expensiveWas recommended the app, read (old) reviews. Decided to buy it, but Afterlight 2 seems to no longer exist. So rather than paying £3 for the app (as I could have done in 2018), my only option is to pay a monthly subscription for the same app?? The free version has most of the tools locked to premium. I don’t buy subscription software on principle, but this one is especially overpriced. If anyone can direct me to the actual afterlight 2 app (single purchase) please let me know and I will stand corrected..Version: 3.4
✓ Functionality varies...The functionality of the app changes depending on whether you open a photo through the app, or if you “edit” a photo through camera roll. You just can’t do certain things if you go through the camera roll. This makes zero sense, is beyond irritating and I’ve written to them quite a few times and had no response. The old Afterlight was much better, and I still use that instead of the new one. Definitely not worth spending any money on....Version: 1.7.3
✓ Lost all the good features to subscriptionThis app was AMAZING before the latest updat. Now I’ve lost the majority of the features I used the the subscription option. I’ve been using this app for a good 6-7 years. VERY VERY DISSATISFIED! Now I’m going to have to go looking for a better app!.Version: 3.6
✓ Used to be great, now it’s just ok 😞This app used to be great but now it’s just ok. It’s unfortunate. I much prefer the old app without the costly monthly fees and easy to navigate tools. Why mess with perfection??.Version: 2.1
✓ NOT IT 😡I used this app for a really long time, paid to unlock all the features, and now I can only access it on my old phone and it’s hardly working! New version is not it, it’s buggy and stops responding to taps within a minute of opening! Complete and utter rubbish, we want the old version back! 😡 I’m going to unsubscribe from the new paid version, it’s total crap! Not worth even 18$ a year! Disappointed!!! 😡if I could give zero stars - I would!.Version: 4.0
✓ LockedMost adjustments are locked. Requires Monthly subscription required. Pass!.Version: 3.2
✓ Crashes on my iPhone :(I really love what this app has to offer but it just keeps crashing every time I try to edit 💔 I've restarted the app, made sure there's enough storage on my phone and deleted several apps in a desperate attempt to use Afterlight 2 but it still keeps crashing :( Is it just me? Please help! Would love to use it!.Version: 1.1
✓ Rip off companyJust wanted to drop a line to say that this company doesn’t care about their customers. People who had previously paid for their old app have been thrown to the gutter. Their old app is now useless. Hey, we want more money, so let’s create a NEW app that people have to pay heaps more for! Thanks for nothing, I have a subscription to photoshop that does a million times more than your app, so thanks for ripping us all off..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great but one thing...I really enjoy this app and my photos look amazing! There is one thing that really bugs me though, and that is if you try to edit the photo directly from the Photos app then it will consistently crash at any point whilst editing the photo. If this was looked at and fixed I’d happily rate 5 stars!.Version: 1.6
✓ Good appIt’s nice, but have switched to another app as Afterlight has no way to modify a photo, you have to save a new copy in your camera roll whenever you make edits. Other apps let you modify the existing photo, non-destructively, so you don’t have to have tons of copies of the same photo with your edits. Update: a year later, still no update :(.Version: 4.1.1
✓ The original app is betterDownloaded this after updating iOS and losing the original app because it’s no longer supported or being updated. I had purchased all the extra features in the original app, but in this one you have to pay a monthly subscription. I emailed the developer a week ago to see if there is a way to transfer my purchased features to the new app, never received a reply. I refuse to pay for features that I already paid for. The new app isn’t great, a lot of features are missing that the original had. I wish they’d just put out an update for the original. 🤦🏼♀️.Version: 3.7
✓ Eh.I used Afterlight for years and every time I got a new phone I made sure I downloaded it. I loved it. Then I get on my phone and realize the app is not there anymore, and then... bam In the App Store there’s a new afterlight. I’m like “cool, ok. It’s 3 dollars, uh ok, but it’s most definitely probably worth it.” I buy it. I open it up to edit my picture, and everything is different. I’m trying to find my favorite filter and I just can’t. So I try to find something similar and I just stick with that. I’m actually disappointed. I feel what was so easy to maneuver through has now become so much more complex. I hope I can eventually learn to love it as I did the original, but for now I’ll be looking for new photo editing apps..Version: 1.3
✓ Alright app, not THAT much of an upgrade from the originalIt breaks my heart to be mean on a review but the original kinda has more features in it anyways! The original even has WAY more filters And I can't get a refund!!! >:(.Version: 1.0
✓ Missing featuresWhere are the frames???!!! they’re like the coolest part of the original app.Version: 1.0
✓ What have you done??!!!!I purchased Afterlight a while ago, and have been using it on multiple devices for years, mostly the grain, dust and light effects and all of a sudden now you need to pay for a membership to use them?!! This isn’t fair, I have already paid for the app! I will no longer be using this anymore..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Scam!I was using afterlight since basically it came out it was my go to app and I paid for some dusk/ligh filters and frames however after changing my phone and updating to new version everything was gone and only subscription was available which is to pay again for something I already bought?? Tried to contact them but haven’t received reply back. Such a shame because I really liked the app but will have to stick with other apps that I would recommend like VSCO or RetroCam for free options without paying ridiculous amount of money..Version: 2.9.5
✓ Very slow to apply filtersThe filters look lovely but it’s extremely slow to apply them. It first loads a low-res version of filtered image, then after a long pause you get to see the high-res version. This is happening on both an M1 iPad Pro and an iPhone 15 so it can’t be a CPU limitation. Very disappointing because the overall workflow is good apart from this. 👇 Original review 👇 Sadly the app crashes and disappears when navigating between different sets of filters. :( It’s also very slow to apply filters on an iPad Pro 10.5”. I wrote to support about both these issues, but received no response..Version: 4.6
✓ Monthly Membership Fee??I was a massive fan of the first Afterlight, I used it all the time, but it seems the crew has forgotten about the first gen app to introduce 2.0 where they’ve replaced a couple features and jumped on the “membership” bandwagon. Two thumbs down. No friggin way am I paying a monthly membership fee for a touch-up app. Can’t wait for the trend to be over. 👎👎👋.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Free Trial when I already paid forI already purchased the app and now I’ve been restricted to a lot of features. Not so cool. Shifting to VSCO.Version: 2.7
✓ Not good nowUsed to be my favourite photo editing, now i can’t stand to use it anymore ): wish i could get the old version back.Version: 2.4
✓ Unbelievably StupidNo crashing. No freezing. It works great. But it works great for the features that it has... that is almost nothing. You cannot save an image to override the original. And although it has a Photos app extension, the extension is extremely limited. I was hoping I could use the extension to edit with this app that way it would override the original photo. Only to find that the extension didn’t have the filter that I FAVORITED. If there is an extension, a limited feature set is justifiable if it offered quick access to FAVORITES. At the very least. Goodness I’m angry because I haven’t found a single app in the App Store that is actually good. To devs of this app: this app is also stupid and ridiculous just like any other. Congrats you didn’t do anything different than anyone else. Again, no option to override original. But that’s why it’s a good thing there is an Apple photos extension, but then the extension doesn’t allow me to do SH**. What retards..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Fraud.These guys are straight up criminals..Version: 4.9
✓ Good but not the bestIt would be highly appreciated if there was some updates on the app. Previous version is much better, richer with multiple choice of light effects and possibility to change them to a different colour, here, even once you select your favourite you can’t keep on continue to add additional one, you have to go through the options all over again which is a bit uncomfortable. Very poor choice, please bring back the version number 1 light effects and combine them all together for having better selection for your customers..Version: 1.6
✓ Poor image qualityMy images from the iPhone photos app are perfectly clear before using Afterlight 2. However, after simply adding a frame and then uploading to Instagram straight from the Afterlight 2 app they become blurry or degraded. Very unfortunate..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Needs workI like this app. Even though it lacks a bigger selection of tools and the ones it has is not customizable. Up until now I was using this app a lot. Not anymore. I have noticed that after working on many of my pictures at the end the picture often times end up with some weird vertical lines. I have seen before but I can't recall what they are called. It has ruined many photos for me. It seems that the more variations or layers of the same tool you use, the more likely it is for it to happen. When I said that the tools it has are not customizable, what I mean is that tools need more than just one default setting. For example, the burn (Darken) and dodge (lighten) tool is not customizable. There is only one setting for density (how strong it is) and sometimes it applies too much or too little. Which makes it useless or hard to use. It also need to be able handle Tiff and Raw file, among others. The user should be able to change the settings for each format. Such as the type of compression, pixel format (8 bit, 16 bit, etc), and so on. For now, I'll rely on other apps and stop using this one..Version: 2.4.1
✓ DisappointedThe interface seems elegant enough, but it doesn’t offer fine-grained control over the image and canvas size, nor over the file management. (eg, Am I editing a copy, or forever changing my original?) What I wanted to do was add horizontal bars to a non-square photo to be able to post the entire image on Instagram. This app doesn’t allow me to do that..Version: 2.0.1
✓ The original one is way better!I’m disappointed with this new version of Afterlight due to the fact that I am not given that option to restore any of the features I had previously bought from the original one. To access all those features AGAIN just by purchasing the monthly/yearly subscription is quite unfair and I refuse to pay that. It would be greatly appreciated if you could please fix this issue and give people that option to restore/access any of those features they have already bought. Thanks!.Version: 3.7
✓ MehNo real control of image. Changes range from the un-noticeable to the bizarre. I call it ‘photoshop from the dollar store’..Version: 2.4
✓ STOP CRASHINGIt’s such a good app to edit but it has been crashing in the middle of my edit so many times now. It is so frustrating after all the edit so please fix it asap..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Used to be my fave appI’ve used the app for several years and even the previous version. In the last several months, the app just crashes when I try to open. At first thought it was my device being a bit older. However that is not the case. This was my favourite app and hopefully things get fixed 🥲.Version: 4.5.2
✓ Like most things in life...Its not as good as the original . The original was a masterpiece and taught me most of what I know now and used with 2 other apps have created my finest work...however this one is just ok. Not bad for 3 pounds but I don't remember paying that much for the first one..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Very misleading self title “the best all in one photo editing app”I am a photo/videographer who had the original afterlight, VSCO, then Enlight then Polarr... but I needed something new. Intuitive, powerful & efficient so I eagerly(unfortunately) purchased AfterLight 2. - The tools except the selective color are not efficient & the way this app makes the shadows get very milky has me pulling out hair. The sliders are way too small, sticker have no automatic leveling & the fade isnt much of a fade but more of a dehaze. - I want to create my own filter, theres no erase tool & just overall limiting. - Compared to Polarr which edits my photo in the album with no import - Compared to Enlight allows you to erase anything on your art, true double exposure - VSCO & AfterLight 1 were nice fast tools. I was excited when i initially made the purchase however TWO days later I’m spending time not editing family photos, SEARCHING for my $3 refund. It is that serious. I’m not one to judge without advice but I’m also not a developer just another unhappy creator sick of limiting tools when this knowledge is open. Apple needs to be honest when showing us these apps & review themselves because I’m tired of getting conned. Thanks for pulling a fast one for $3 lol..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Should have kept the old oneI accidentally deleted the old app and immediately downloaded it again, to find all my favourite filters now cost money (they didn’t before) and my favourite light leak is GONE. I’m so upset..Version: 2.7
✓ Basic functionsDisappointing. Unable to add canvas. If you do by picking max size, you can get a solid background. There is no color picker to pick a colour from an image. When they say layers they mean added predefined artwork like text badges or custom text and you can drag them about. Pretty naff really, though I’ve never been impressed by touch based art apps..Version: 1.0
