Colorize - Color to Old Photos for Negative User Reviews
✓ Half Way ThereOne out of nine images you process will be useable. The ones that are keepers are amazing. The artificial intelligence is mind blowing. But there’s always a hand that gets missed, while the rest of the fleshy parts are great. It’s understandable that body parts get missed Unforgivable, however, is the fact that there is no way to go back and fix whatever the algorithm missed. You can’t expect perfection from a machine. So I have to go off and find some other program to use for cleaning up the mess. Programs like Hair Color add similar tints, but the color picker doesn’t allow you to pick up colors from the image itself. The lack of frisket masks makes Hair Color worse than tinting a photo with Marshall’s oil tints on a photographic print. I’ve tried literally dozens of beautify programs to enhance the output of this software. It works great. Sometimes. The whole process is just too unpredictable. Why must developers see this as an either/or proposition???? Either machine intelligence OR human driven interface!!!! That’s completely nuts!!! Let the machine try very hard to get the job done. THEN let the human step in and clean things up. _______________________________________________ **Update** Since posting this review, all save options have disappeared. As if one out of nine photos wasn’t bad enough, now I get none out of every none..Version: 1.3
✓ Overly Simple and inaccurateAs a paid subscriber I have to say this program is a major let down. Colour is just thrown on top of the photo, it rarely gets it right. A good start for ease of use but this app needs a major redo if you want people to trust your apps. Lucky for me I own Photoshop but who has the time to fix every photo..Version: 2.5
✓ Keeps randomly cropping my photosI’ve used this app for months & always loved it and found it to be the best & most reliable colourising app, but recently whenever i try colourising photos it has started to randomly crop them. this is ruining my colourising experience as i’m not choosing to crop the photos & want the entire photo to be colourised. if this doesn’t stop i’m afraid i might have to switch to another colourising app which doesn’t randomly crop my photos.Version: 3.1
✓ Works ok, but don’t expect highly accurateThis is a great app for easy and quick processing. Results will vary greatly however. The app seems to lean heavily on the color blue which can leak in incorrectly. It struggles with uniform results on clothes from extremely old photos which can color some of it only leaving the look unnatural. It does do well on some photos, which may be due to quality of the original photo and can produce some nice results. Some of family photos from the 40’s & 50’s came out quite nice. It won’t replace the work of a professional who has understanding of right colors to apply to saw, military uniforms etc and have no spots in the image missed, but knowing that going in, you can enjoy what get most of the time. A touch-up editor would be nice after processing, for say the patchy work on clothes in extremely old clothes, in case you don’t have access to software to make necessary the corrections afterwards..Version: 2.4
✓ The Best Colorize appIt’s not perfect but what is?! Considering it is initially free to Colorize photos-a lot of which give you a great foundation to work on and develop further- it is hands down the best colourisation app available. There is a hefty fee after a while but nothing even comes close to this one, which puts the other apps on the market into perspective!.Version: 1.3
✓ ColorizationUseless. Unless you trying it on a professionally taken studio portrait. I wouldn’t bother..Version: 1.2
✓ Amazing app, very poor/disappointing trial periodThis app truly does amazing work on black and white photos, I really enjoyed the first 8 photos I did as part of the trial period, however I was unaware that was the limit and I’d then be locked out, only choice then being to buy a subscription or have nothing left! Would be great if it could be used in a limited way, say 2-3 free pictures each day or subscribe for unlimited use. I cannot afford the subscription so this app although amazing in its self is now useless to me due to being locked out.Version: 2.5
✓ Bad bad bad🙅🏼♀️The picture of my cat is supposed to be brown, red, and black. But this app put it in yellow and blue🤦🏼♀️.Version: 2.6
✓ ColouringTerrible. Didn’t work at all!!.Version: 3.1
✓ Good but could be betterGreat to see something other than myheritage on the market - very easy app to use, however there could be an improvement on colorisation, particularly when distinguishing between colours. some of my images had bright red grass instead of green as well as pink skies which clearly was during midday. i paid $50 so i hope to see more like the ability to edit, add and remove colours.Version: 2.4
✓ It adds color, but not the correct colorIt definitely adds color to black and white photos, but it doesn’t add the right color. I tried it out with a photo I turned black and white, and the photo turned out completely different from the original colored photo. The colors also are unnatural with a lot of yellow. It’s completely impossible to get the colors of a b&w photo correct. Honestly just keep your photos b&w. b&w isn’t as horrible to have on a photo..Version: 2.8
✓ I-I put a pic of someone and they gave them a rash on there chest- they were holding a strawberry and they coloured it ashy grey- i- what-.Version: 2.3
✓ Quite inaccuratePretty sure uniforms in the First World War weren’t purple but ok.Version: 2.1
✓ LaughableWish you could see the result of the app’s introductory colorization. I gave it a crisp black and white portrait, and it returned the same image with just a splash of skin tone color from one eye, across the bridge of the nose, to the other eye. Roughly 90% of the image remained black and white (and remember the photo is all head and top of the shoulders, very little background around the edges. A very close up selfie if you will). And there isn’t any way to give the app “hints” of what areas are skin, hair, cloth, etc. No way to adjust the app’s colorization. I’m sorry Photomyne, but buyers move along, nothing to see here..Version: 1.3
✓ Fun enoughIf you have a lot of B&W photos and some patience this app will hit a home run about 1 in 10 times. Is that worth the monthly fee? Depends on the user. Most of the time clothing converts to some shade of gray often with annoying red tints and patches. Hands, feet, and ears frequently stay their original shade giving them the appearance of dead limbs. Objects of obvious color such as flowers inevitably convert to grayish or brownish colors. If your originals are out of focus you are probably out of luck. And the auto-crop sometimes takes off the top of a head or mutilates group photos. I know it’s just an app, but if these issues could be corrected or if colors could be manually attached to objects, this app would rock. As it is, for me anyway, for now I will hang around for those home runs. Ciao..Version: 2.2
✓ Rip offI purchased several years worth and it expires March of 2023 and the app has already cut me off from using the app prematurely..Version: 3.1
✓ Great, needs a bit of tweaking.I have got people with 1 leg coloured and 1 leg still in black n white, after applying the colour on a black n white pic. Then this app would be awesome. Also a little awkward when someone ends up with green hair..Version: 1.2
✓ App keeps crashingThe colorizing is very good but Your app keeps crashing after colorizing just two or three photos. Every single time. I have to pick the two most important photos I need to colorize because I know your app will crash. Then I must delete app and reinstall again and repeat the process over and over. I paid for a subscription fix your app! FIX YOUR APP or return our money. Also chest hair is not purple or blue!.Version: 2.6
✓ Works just fine, but another rip off.I liked this. Easy to use by amateurs, could see myself y=using it intermittently over the years and would happily have bought it for £5 - £10. But no, it’s another rip off subscription load of crap that if you turn on and forget will cost up £72 each year. If you are running 10- 20 of these for occasional domestic use, it’s all a bit pricey isn’t it? Good luck with the few thousand customers you’ll get compared to the millions who would’ve snapped up for a fiver. Greedy..Version: 2.2
✓ Amazing until…You can only use the app a certain amount of times before it will force you to purchase it for a not so cheap price. Would be brilliant if you got to colourise say 10 free pictures a month, and then it costs to do additional ones. But the app is useless after a while, unless you want to spend the money on it.Version: 2.6
✓ To expensiveCost outways the product.Version: 1.4
✓ No longer usable without paying $40Have had this app for a few years and scanned maybe 10 photos. Results where interesting and gave the photo a new look, but certainly ranged from bad to okay depending on the photo. Now I can no longer export a photo without paying $39.99, I see no other options. You are also only only allowed to try one photo. Maybe worth it if you use it all the time, but I’ve now deleted it; maybe they should consider a $0.99 option for a photo a day for the casual user. I’m out..Version: 2.4
✓ Yet another subscriptionI would probably might buy this if the colours were more convincing ..and yet another subscription based app, why oh why can you not do a one off payment and done with it as we used to ?. These companies are making a mint out of the consumer by ripping them off and taking a set amount every month /year / 2 years, as a result you no longer own a product but you are renting it and then as soon as you stop ..it’s taken away from you. Looking at the colours from the results they are a bit drab not particularly pleasing either..Version: 2.5
✓ Please help!Just paid for the 2 years. I colorized a picture on my photo gallery on my phone. Turned out great! How and what do I do to see my pictures to colorize them? I will update my rating when I find out how to get my pictures to colorize. This is the only reason I got app is to use my camera roll. If I can’t use pictures on my camera roll, I want to unsubscribe to the app. Which I’d hate to have to do, but app will be worthless to me 🥺 Thank you for replying to my problems and telling me what app I needed. The colorize old photos app works great! Some photos colorize better than others, but I love it! Please refund me my 2 year subscription on the scanning app, since I’ll be deleting it since I can’t use it. I will definitely update my review when I get refund for the other app that I can’t use. Thanks again for your help! 😊 SusieCox.Version: 2.6
✓ DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SCAMI paid $7.99 for a monthly renewable subscription. As soon as I installed it, ads start popping up. They ask you to pay an additional $0.99 to remove the ads. I paid even though it is unethical since I am already suscribed. After subscribing, it only allows me to scan pictures. I am unable to upload pictures from my saved pictures in my phone. They then ask you to pay extra for that function. This is one of the worst scams I have seen in apps. And before people think I don’t inow my way around apps I want to share that I design apps for a big tech company! Don’t buy from this scammers! I nearly forgot to mention that I cancelled the app inmediately and it shows I was charged and I may still continue to use it until March 5. Another scam! It won’t work! It prompts me to purchase it again!.Version: 3.1
✓ It doesn’t work . It hangs and says sorry something wrong.It doesn’t work . It hangs and says sorry something wrong..Version: 2.1
✓ SCAM alert!!!Downloading this app sets up an automatic subscription that will charge $6.79 per month, unless you opt out. Good luck figuring how to do that. Apple please note: This negative sales technique, forcing customers to opt out or pay is illegal in most jurisdictions in Canada!.Version: 2.2
✓ PatchyI was very impressed at first and decided to subscribe to colour my parents’ photo album. It worked well until I came to the army photographs where the algorithm simply can’t recognise khaki or green other than if it is grass or foliage. When faced with a khaki/green uniform it normally defaults to blue which I suppose is fine if your relatives were in the navy or airforce. Feedback to help improve the algorithm does really appear to work as I was advised they are not hand painted- seriously?.Version: 2.5
✓ ColorizationI think that a lot more can be done in this field in bringing color to black and white photos! I’ve seen WWII photos that are more vivid in their color photos. Why is it that the “brown” and “blue” colors get mixed up in some of the photos! I’m not sure the general public is getting their money’s worth! This is a unique field, I only wish the results were better! Same as above. Your “brown” colors turn into “blue” and vice versa! Your IT guys haven’t figured out how to correct this BIG problem nor have I received any explanation as a paying customer! They could do this process back in WWII with exceptional results, I don’t know why you can’t do it! I see you're in front of the line at the APP store, I don’t see how! When my subscription expires, I’m gone!.Version: 3.1
✓ Good app but buggyThis app is awesome, but I had an issue with crashes. I just downloaded it and it was working well until I tried uploading a third photo. It crashed 3 times consecutively when I tried to colorize the photo, then told me I had used up my free shares and editing. Conceptually, it’s awesome. The first two photos I attempted were very well edited. I just wish the bug hadn’t happened so I could see the full range of colorization of my old family photos..Version: 2.0
✓ Pretty goodI’m using this to take pictures of my WW2 photos, for some it works pretty well but for close ups it keeps making their uniforms bright blue when I know for a fact they were brown. Please try to fix this, there’s way too much blue!.Version: 2.4
✓ Needs improvementOk so I bought this app as I wanted to change a lot of photos to colour, to be honest whilst some come out well some of the others aren’t great it seems that a lot of the time the far right hand side of the picture stays black and white!! It’s a bit hit and miss and some colouring is a bit wishy washy - I would say it’s ok but at £5:99 per month or £28 for two years it needs to get better than it currently is to be of good value..Version: 2.4
✓ OK but could be betterThe App is OK but I was hoping it would do a better job but I suppose one shouldn’t complain, it is good to see them in some sort of colour..Version: 2.4
✓ Not great from my experienceI tested out this app with an old black and white photo and it colorized it, and I thought “woah cool” but I didn’t know what colors would pop up since it an old picture I wasn’t there to see. So then I tested it out on a photo that I knew the colors of, that was black and white. And it was completely wrong. So then I questioned the accuracy of color for my first photo. (The first one seemed to get the face color pretty well actually! Just the uniform/outfit may not have been right).Version: 2.8
✓ Can't get past in-app purchasesWait a minute! First few scans are free? 3? 5?Regardless of whether I buy any in-app purchases or not‽ One time purchase that … only lasts 2 years? What's that *other* one time purchase‽ Does that last 18 months? 3 years? Almost all of you do this. I buy the apps but the in-app purchases feel like a scam because they make no sense. I have them piled up on my phone but I don't know what's worth bothering with..Version: 2.6
✓ Scan or upload? Can’t search albums?Maybe I’m missing something. Why can’t I choose a pic from an album that I already scanned years ago? The option I’m given is scan or upload. After that I’m able to choose from the “moments” folder. How do I choose any other folder? Either I missed it or the developers did. I’m guessing me. Hopefully it’s me but I’m not seeing any other options in this app to choose albums! I get that the algorithms can not be exact. I’m not reviewing that part (though there should be a way to fine tune what the software isn’t picking up)..Version: 1.4
✓ Nice app, another subscriptionA really competent app but has a very stingy try out period before it locks down everything so not really given the chance to try it out properly. Yet another expensive subscription app, for a designer who uses creative apps often, these apps don’t appeal as the amount soon mounts up to a stupid monthly cost if you use multiple applications. Such a shame the one of payment system is vanishing completely which I would happily have paid. Same can be said of allowing a limited version of the app for free instead of locking it out completely. Sad it has potential but as the dragons would say, “I’m out”.Version: 2.5
✓ It colorizes, but there are glitches.This app does colorize black and white photos. But sometimes there are littles flares of color in the corners and the cropping feature gets stuck and you have to go out of the app for a while. Amendment- Dec 20, 2022. They upgraded the software and though the addition of the Diamond clarity feature is very nice. My screenshots that I am trying to colorize seem much darker and murkier now..Version: 3.1
✓ Decent but...It’s decent but i was colourizing old photos of my grandma and it got the clothes all the wrong colours. i have the dress she wore in the 50s in some photos and it’s definitely not green and yellow.Version: 2.5
✓ DisappointedQuite poor to be honest. The app colourised one image of a select 6 I was hoping to colourise. It wasn’t possible to colourise the other images as every time I uploaded the pictures I wanted, the app crashed! Thought it was due to me not paying for the app, so decided to pay for it and still the issue was there. Disappointing really, as the app looks to be really professional and has plenty of good reviews, but unfortunately, not from me..Version: 2.0
✓ Not accurate90% of the picture is still in black and white. A red shirt somehow becomes blue with this app. It’s not accurate..Version: 2.4
