Filters are great, could use some upgrades. If it weren’t for just one or two really useful editing tools in Snapseed, A Color Story would be the only editing app I use for planning my IG feed. There are a couple of tiny things I wish they would change. The one that is most frequently annoying to me, is that I can’t do the press and hold to compare the original photo to he edited one until after I’ve committed to the edit. I mean, obviously I can undo it if I don’t like it, but as I’m scrolling through filters, trying to decide which looks best, it would be helpful I I could do a quick press and hold to continuously compare to the original, not just the filter before it. Otherwise, I really do love the app. I find the filters to be subtle and professional looking.

My “go to” photo app. I’ve been using A Color Story since it’s release and I love it. The basic pack is fabulous but I also love the new releases....I feel like my photos have so much more pop and finesse when I use this app. The creators definitely have a passion for photography and it’s evident in the many updates and refinements they are always doing. One of my fave features is the ability to edit boomerangs and videos....LOVE this feature. If I have a complaint it’s that there are TOO many beautiful filters to choose from and it’s overwhelming (but not a bad problem to have at all!). I need to be better about using the “favorites” to keep track of the ones I love best. 5 Stars!

Why not the date of the photo created?. I love the app but my only gripe is that it saves as the date that it is edited, not the date of the actually photo taken. E-mailed customer service asking if there was an option to save the edited photo as date taken instead of date edited and the response was “Thanks for your question! Since many of our users like editing their photo and sharing immediately to Instagram, A Color Story records the date as when the photo was edited. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to change the date. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!” Yeah.. it is an inconvenience since I don’t have the time to edit the same day as the photo was taken I have to go back and find the date of the photo I edited and go edit the date on the computer when I get the chance and that makes it even more difficult to keep photos and videos organized and harder to find when trying to make photo year books or anything like that. Definitely something this app needs to work on. At least have an on and off option if “many” of their users don’t worry about the time stamp. Especially if I’m paying for this app.

Weird Issue with Loading. I love this app but I have this constant issue. I will open the app and usually try to batch edit but it also happens when editing one photo, I’ll choose my photo/s, click on the filters, and they all appear as a blank white screen. It’s like the filters aren’t loading? And then when I click on the filter it turns my photo into a blank white pic. I have to close and reopen the app about three or four times to get it to finally load the filters. Then other times it works just fine on the first try. I do a lot of IG marketing and use this app solely as my photo editor and it’s getting really annoying that it doesn’t work. I would love a update to fix this. Otherwise this app is great. And yes I’m always updating the app to the current version.

Love this app but..... I absolutely love this app. I’ve purchased all of the filters, and I use it multiple times a day. However, since the last update it crashes continuously in the middle of editing on my iPad pro. I can be one step away from being done with an edit and it will crash, or I can be on the first step of editing and it will crash. There really is no rhyme or reason to when it will crash, it just does. If this were fixed it would be 5 stars easy. On another note, it’s super simple to navigate and learn. I love that I can edit even the smallest things in a picture. I do wish there was a way to easily compare an original picture to the edited picture or even flash back one step to see the difference. Definitely love the app, just wish this bug would be fixed with crashing on the iPad Pro. I’ve restarted my device, I’ve checked for updates, and I’ve made sure the app is closed completely, and it’s still doing it.

Brought my social media to a whole other level. This app is wonderful! I use it all the time and it has helped my instagram feed look much better. The app has so many unique and creative touches that really separates it from other photo editing apps I use/have used. I would and have recommended to friends and family. It is nice to have an app that allows you to not just edit photos but illustrate a feeling you had during the time the photo was captured. From happy, saturated and bright to muted, peaceful and calm this app has everything I need to present my photos the way I experienced them. I find this especially helpful because it is often hard to differentiate a person from an account online and this app helps me feel like I am presenting myself in a way that is more true to myself. Anyways, I love it. It’s great.

Not a fan. For one, the app makes you buy almost all of the effects worth using, but on top of that, when shopping and browsing through the sets of filters or overlays, the example pictures for each individual effect within each set are completely different, so it’s impossible to actually know exactly what the filter/effect IS, because you don’t know what is the original picture and what is the effect that you’re looking at (suggestion; they should use the same photo within each set so we can see the difference). They also don’t really let you have much creative freedom within the effects. You can move them sometimes, but it would be nice to get to change the color of many... like it only will let you have an orange light flare when it should be really easy to let you change the color. Also accidentally bought a $10 set of filters and immediately tried to undo it, with no luck.

MOST AMAZING EASY TO USE APP. I'd recommend this app to anyone! In fact, I wrote a whole blog post about it and all the features that I love! The new update has batch editing, a grid layout to make sure your feed is nice and pretty and the best filters. This app helps me plan out and edit my entire Instagram feed and people even think I’m Insta famous because it looks so well! My fav filters are essentials and blush. Plus I love that once you edit your photo, you can save that edit as a "preset" just like in a desktop computer in Lightroom. Once your ready to edit your next photo, you can go to recent edits or saved edits and use those for your photo editing. The app is great and Id recommend it to anyone! Especially those color lovers! I just paid for ACS+ and it’s totally worth the $2 monthly payment.

Lots of bugs. Love this app, but if you’re trying to schedule out post and use for IG, don’t. I scheduled all my post for the week... not only did it not remind me but it decided to delete all my content and schedules. This was the 2nd time it’s happen to me. Plus if you schedule a post then click on it to check the time it will erase the scheduled time on photo. Will show up in schedule list but will not remind you at scheduled time. Today there is just a big ghost grid when I tried to add in photos there are still 6ghost grid slots. Major bummer. Lots of work down the drain. Might have to go back to planoly. I want this this app to be my favorite and I know maybe it can be once these things are fixed.

Used to love this app. I’ve had this editing app for at least 3 years, and have bought all of the filter packs as they came along. At $2-$3 per pack it’s not a big deal, but when I’ve definitely paid for at least 20, maybe 30 of them, it’s kind of an investment. Since they rolled out the monthly subscription price, something I would be interested in had I not already purchased all of the packs, the app has gotten more and more glitchy, to the point where I can’t edit a single photo or video and save it without it crashing, not saving what I’d done. I love the filters and all of the capabilities of this app which is why I’ve dedicated so much time and money into it, but it’s very frustrating to not even be able to use it at all, let alone have an option for the monthly subscription that deducts the cost of what I’ve already paid. I’ve been a loyal customer for 3 years, I also have their sister app, Filmm+ which has presented all of the same problems and won’t let me save anything anymore. Please fix these problems and I’ll return to these apps.

This app is EVERYTHING for photos. I tell all my friends to download this app for photo editing. You have a wide array of tools in just the basic version, so it’s amazing regardless whether you elect to purchase any additional filters. The 2.0 update does not take away or layer any functionality like some “updates” do. The look is a little cleaner. Best of all, the update will make it possible to add text in conjunction with the new app coming out within the next month or so. Similar to the superiority of ACS over other photo editing apps, the new text-over-photos app is supposed to let you customize all kinds of things (e.g. ombré text, changing brushes, etc.) Between the two, I don’t think I’ll keep other photo apps on my phone. LOVE A Color Story.

I feel inspired. Using a color story has been very fun. The plus packs are great, and have made me feel much more inspired as I take and edit photos. I also like the grid function, so I can see what my photos look like next to one another. I wish that it wasn’t so expensive to get all the plus packs and editing tools to keep (I’m not a super fan of subscription services, so far I’ve only bought the filters and effects I like). That said, I’ve still enjoyed using the app quite a lot. I take more pride in taking a nice photo now, and pay much closer attention to color! I feel like I’m starting to develop my own visual language or style in photographs, which I’ve never felt before in this medium. Hope others enjoy as well! **update on current edition: it seems like all the glitches with the most recent update have been resolved—it works fine. I do wish that I could access photos from my shared photo albums in iPhoto from the app. I also don’t like that more and more features move from being a part of the free version to items that must be purchased. I can tell that they are reaaaaaallly pushing the subscription service, which I don’t like because then I don’t permanently own the tool/filters.

Great App. I use this exclusively for editing my photos. You can do a lot with just the basic set of filters and additions, but they also roll out filter colabs every so often to keep things new and fresh! Well worth the money on those for sure. It doesn’t just have filters and light leaks/confetti though, it also has some cropping, perspective and color tweaking tools, comparable to the things you might find in photoshop. Any bugs you might experience are always quickly fixed, and they are constantly trying to make the app better. In 2.0 they have us the ability to add a photo to our Instagram grid to see how it looks with the rest of our photos.. with out actually having to upload the photo to Instagram! I LOVE THIS. It also allows you to schedule posts!

Worth the $. I recently downloaded Adobe Lightroom mobile for my iPhone, but quickly went back to using A Color Story for most of my mobile photo editing. The layout is incredibly easy to navigate, and with the added features of brushes a few years ago, A Color Story is just as powerful as Lightroom in many features. I especially like the frame option. The only thing I don’t love about A Color Story is that one you’ve reached the end of an edit process, there is no quick button to go home in the app. You’ve got to hit “back” and then you’re asked whether you want to discard your edits or not. I’d love to see an auto save feature, or a way to get two images in a screen to compare which version of your edit you’d like to keep/delete.

Good App. I like this app a lot for editing photos, especially when you want your Instagram feed to have a cohesive look. There are 2 things that dampen the user experience: -The CONSTANT ads for purchasing new packs. I get it, apps need to make money. This one berates you with new packs in every single use. The pop-ups and banners are a big nuisance. -No preview of filters on your own photos. The new pack previews show filters only on high quality photos and on different pictures (vs using the different filters on the same picture so you can see the difference), making it almost impossible to envision what they’d look like on your own photos or what the filters look like at all since you’re not familiar with the original version of the sample photos.

Finally. The best app for me. As a photographer I've been downloading many photo apps and now I found you so this is it hopefully it will never change or charge in the future. This is an amazing app for bloggers and people like me who needs the easy way to make the photo beautifuly and naturally brings out the colors. I’m going to delete most of unwanted apps that I never use. Thank you and hopefully it stays this way. I will definitely recommend this to all my family and friends. The only prob I have is by the time I saved I can’t re start to go back to home to open another picture so I have to end it and open the app again. Which is kinda confusing. Thank you again. This is 💯 stars ⭐️ for me though. Love it!

Latest update ruined app. I have been a long time user of A Color Story. At least 5+ years. One of my favorite features used to be that you could layer their filters along with your own edits and then save the resulting edits as your own unique filters and simply apply the exact same filter to future photos. I had years and years worth of filters saved, custom designed for my own branding and style. I also have bought several of their filter packs over the years. After updating the app last night, the custom and recent filters feature is simply gone. All those years of saved filters have disappeared overnight. I’m now starting from scratch in attempting to match new edits to my previous aesthetic. Additionally, they have now taken away every single filter pack that previously came with the original app purchase and you now have to repurchase them all separately. The only filters I now have access to are the filter packs I already purchased separately. All of the filters previously included with the purchase of the app are no longer accessible. I understand wanting to monetize more filters for new users, but to take away basic functions of the app that long time users have long enjoyed that were included with their original purchase is beyond irritating. To overnight eliminate years’ worth of a long time user’s saved filters without warning is unacceptable. Unfortunately moving on from color story as most of its most useful functionality no longer exists. :/

All I use for editing. This is my go to for all of my photo editing for both my small bizz that I run and for my personal photos. I can’t tell you how many different apps I have tried for editing and this one hits it out of the park. It has all the elements that are essential and the filters both the free and the packs that they offer are actually flattering and worth the small fee. It’s perfect for quick and easy editing which I use for my shop as I want things to look bright and natural and there are so many fun options that you can play around with that I usually save for my own photos.

Favorite photo app!. I love a color story. I’ve been using it since they first released it and have loved every update they’ve added since then. As with any app, there’s occasionally been a bug here or there. But honestly they always fix them within a few days. The added features are so fun and have really added some fabulous personality to many of my photos and memories. Only complaint is having to buy every new Photo pack!! But also they clearly put A LOT of love and work into each pack. I’ve probably spent about $20 total on the app and it’s an investment worth spending! Still light years EASIER and CHEAPER than photoshop! (Do not care/have time to learn that jazz right now.) Highly recommend this app. Start with the freebies and add filter packs that fit your own personal aesthetic. It’s fun, it’s functional, and it’s constantly growing! 5 stars!

Great app - recent update makes it difficult. I’ve been using this app for a long time now, I have all the filters and have always loved it. It’s easy to use and easy to mix different styles. However the most recent update makes it harder to edit photos, especially your pre saved filters. There are too many steps involved especially if you are trying to use multiple at a time or trying to edit a bunch of photos in a row. Hopefully they will see this and make a change - I’d recommend being able to select the presets you built as a tab in the filters sections. I thought the saved option was it but instead it’s a square box above the tabs and you have to click into it every time you want to use a different preset. I still like this app but this could defer me to something else just bc I’m editing a lot of photos at once.

Where have you been all my life?!. Not sure how many photo apps I’ve downloaded, free or fee, that I’ve tried and removed cause they just don’t have any unique features...but it’s a LOT. Credit goes to RealSimple Magazine for suggesting it in their April 2018 issue. Thought, oh well, it’s free. Let’s give it a try. It’s beyond versatile. Has all the editing tools as many other apps but my favorite here is ‘Curves’ under Tools. It creates a color variation I’ve never seen before. The filters themselves are different and adjustable. I could go on but it’s definitely worth a try. I actually was searching for a way to make my photos pink-it has that and MUCH more. Get it-you will not be sorry.

The Only Photo Editing App I Use. Partially b/c it’s literally the only photo editing app that will load my photo library, either *at all* or w/o a 2-3 min wait. Seriously. But that speaks to how great this app is: I have 5 other editing apps installed that I’ve favored at one time or another and none of them load my library as fast as ACS does. When ACS was still new, I actually experienced the opposite problem: it would load slower than the other apps, but still never more than maybe 15-20 secs. Yet another point in their favor: it’s gotten better over time!! The filters are the best out of all the other apps I’ve used, and the effects are so awesome! YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS PURCHASE! They keep getting better and better! Thanks ACS!

Recent update makes me no longer want to use. Went to edit a photo using ACS like I normally do & tried to add a frame around my picture like I have been for awhile to keep my Instagram feed looking uniform & when I tried to add a plain white frame that is now only available if you purchase ACS+ for $2.99. I wasn’t trying to customize the size or change the color, I was just trying to add a plain white frame, which up until now was FREE. I get trying to make money, but why randomly start charging for something that you previously had for free? You already charge for extra filter packs etc. Why not charge the extra amount if you want to customize the frame? I’m annoyed & will probably switch to an app that I can do my frame/editing all in one. Sad to say that because I do love the filters I currently have. But I don’t want to go back & forth between apps just for a picture.

So helpful! Great quality!. I bought a filter and it didn’t add it for a while... I really panicked and I thought I got scammed... But I was really relieved to see that I was not alone and others were experiencing the same problem. The developers of this app seemed to take it very seriously and fix it almost immediately. It just shows and reflects in the quality of this app. It is so unbelievably helpful, especially for business owners who are not social media gurus and would like to make their instagrams look pretty. You have to buy a lot of their features but it looks like you get what you pay for and it’s worth it. - you don’t have to deal with any ads which I love!

Dare I Say it.... Dare I say it, but today I cancelled my 2 year long VSCO subscription and have moved to Color Story for my editing needs. I use it in conjunction with a few apps - an app dedicated to shooting, color correcting (you guys!) and an app for blemishes/small details ACS doesn’t handle and it’s a dream. It has made my feed more fluent and visually thematic and I love it. I love the new direction my Instagram feed has taken and ACS has helped me achieve that. I love the fact that I can plan out how my feed is going to look with the use of the grid. I don’t bother with e captions, but it’s such a useful tool to visualize how my feed will turn out once my scheduled posts hit my feed. I’m so happy I bit the bullet and paid for a yearly subscription. My one suggestion is the layout of the filters. I have a lot of trouble sifting through so many on the bottom of my screen. I wish there was a dedicated filter screen in which I could see what many filters would look like applied at a glance.

Love the editing options, interface maybe needs tweaks. Love that there are so many more editing controls than instagram. The interface I found a little slow to navigate through. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m just so used to Instagram’s that something different was throwing me off, or if it just needs a few tweaks, like the buttons need to be put in more intuitive places. Particularly when I’ve drilled down into one of the editing menus, it’s hard to figure out how to get back to the main editing menu. Also the controls are very small. But I’ll definitely keep using this. It really does help photos pop a lot more than anything I can do to them on Instagram or iPhone’s built in editing tools.

Update is Meh.. I loved this app until the most recent update. It was always my go to and now I’m a bit disappointed. I think the update isn't as user friendly. Not really a fan of the the new visual icon set up for the filters and effects. The color text box really interferes with seeing the filter effect icon preview. Not a huge issue, but something i noticed immediately. Locating “saved” and “recent” edits takes a bit of getting use to, but what has really shattered my heart is actually using the Saved/Recent edits. Before the update i could easily scroll through my saved edits at the bottom the bottom of my image, click any one I’d like and see a preview of how my image would look. I could keep previewing other saved edits before i decided which one id like to use. Now i actually have to click “use” from the pop up without actually previewing my image with that saved edit. And after i click the use button and realize i don’t actually like that edit with my photo, i then have to go through and undo every single filter layered in the saved edit. I have to start the process all over again hoping the next saved edit i choose will work for my image. If not, the undo process begins again. This is really disappointing and makes the saved edit feature almost useless.

LOVE this app!. Been a subscriber for a while now, and I absolutely love this app. I’ve been a photographer for over four+ years, and when I am looking to update my portfolio photo, this is my go-to app since the filters make my photos look absolutely fabulous. This is mainly the only feature I use, but it’s definitely worth the price because there is so much more you can do! I’m also a HUGE fan of AI, and the developers have done an amazing job of incorporating AI into the interface. This is one out of three applications that I mostly use to integrate some of my photography with AI. While I don’t believe in the art features that some of these apps use nowadays (such as typing out an entire description and having AI create it. Seriously, what’s even the point of that? It totally takes away from those who actually work very hard to create masterpieces with their hands), but I will say that these days, AI is a necessity and can help you turn your photos into a beautiful work of art without even having it create the work for you. Instead of shunning the introduction of Artificial Intelligence, with the mixture of photography and the help of AI, this application and many others truly make the integration and mixture of both worlds an absolutely beautiful thing, and it’s a very welcome change that can be easily embraced by photographers all around the world if they learn to adapt accordingly. Thanks for this app! It’s truly great!

UPDATE: Would be my favorite but..... Wow I LOVE this freaking app. Now that the issues are fixed it is worth every penny. Thank you for being one of the best available apps out there! I sell on Etsy, and I have been searching for an app that will let me batch edit, with preset filters that I love. This app fits that bill, except… I will try to do a batch and it and it will take FOREVER, sometimes shutting down the app and restarting it, reloading pictures, etc. etc. etc. just to get the filters pulled up and usable. I’m not sure why there is such a massive delay, but it is draining for sure. In the time that it takes for me to wait for the effects and filters to actually pull up and be usable, I could’ve edited single pictures by themselves. It defeats the main reason that I love this app! If they fix that, it’s five stars.

Most Robust Photo Editing App. I’ve used multiple photo editing apps and this one is far and beyond the best. Being a photoshop action creator myself, I truly appreciate the subtle nuances of A Color Story. I appreciate the lovely aesthetics of the design. The presets are not over the top and create truly instagram-worthy edits. And it has curves! Say no more! The curves feature is essential for custom edits. I’ve enjoyed playing, experimenting, and editing my photos using this app. The only feature I would love to see implemented would be for the personalized saved editing presets to allow the user to remove individual steps in the preset formula. Sometimes a saved preset is perfect, minus one or two minor settings like exposure. I’m so thrilled to use this app and can’t wait to keep churning out beautiful, professional-looking phone edits. Thanks for the incredible thought and detail built into this user-friendly app!

So many options, so much control. I do the annual subscription and I have for the last couple years - I used to buy packs individually but sometimes they didn’t turn out how I thought so I’m happy to be able to use everything available. There’s so much control which is nice - opacity of filters, being able to move and flip effects and even being able to change the warmth, brightness and saturation of a filter. This is my #1 photo editing app, I’ve stopped using everything else including VSCO and Afterlight 2. The adjust function is amazing, the curves tool helps so much to get the light perfectly where you want it. I’ve been a fan of ABM for at least a decade and they know what they’re doing when it comes to making photos beautiful. Also: even though they have the Filmm app, you can filter videos with this too, but there’s a lot less functions and options than with Filmm and you can’t preview the whole video/boomerang but if you want to make a small or fun change before posting an insta story, it’s great for that too. Highly recommend.

Problem fixed!. Update 8/17- Got a prompt response from the developers, who explained a small bug with the update that has since been fixed. They recommended updating the app and trying the restore purchases option again, and this time it worked! All my prior purchases are there again, and the app is working the way it always has for me. Big props to the team for responding with a solution so quickly. I am happily using this app again. This app used to be fantastic, but as of yesterday’s update it seems to have forgotten all of the filters I’ve purchased over the past year and a bit. Now it’s prompting me to either buy ACS+, or buy all the filters again individually. Since I don’t plan to buy everything for a second time, I’m going to have to say goodbye to this app until this gets sorted out. Few things are as frustrating as being prompted to pay for things you’ve already purchased.

good app, could use improvement. I just started using this app. while I like the color filters, I don't like that each pack is $2.99, seems a bit pricey. there are a few that's cheaper I might try them first, it's reminiscent of hipstamatic, which is also pricey but worth it for the lens effects. this app just has filters. also I like the feature of being able to take photos in the app and edit right there. given you have the time. and the ability to batch edit. but the camera app is lacking a few things, such as the ability to take pictures with the volume button which comes in handy sometimes. it also seems to start out with the flash on in rectangular mode which is annoying. there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust or even see what file format or quality the photos are being taken in either.

Only Photo Editing App You'll Need. Before getting A Color Story I solely used VSCOcam. Since getting this app, I've hardly touched VSCO. I love it because you can get bright images that pop and are vibrant without any weird skin tones and funky color changes. They have presets for any style you might like, and fun extras to add a little pizzazz if that's what you like. There are also amazing technical options like adjusting an image using curves. Plus, you can save your favorite filter combinations as your own so it's easy to have consistency. The only (sorta) negative thing is that I wish you could batch edit. That's the one thing I miss about VSCO, but because you can save an exact edit "recipe" on ACS and import another photo to apply that same edit to, it makes up for not being able to batch edit. Regardless, it's by far my favorite photo editing app to date!

My favorite photo app!. I used to VSCO but now only ACS. The filters are beautiful and add polish to a photo without being over the top. I love that there are filter collections developed by photographers and creators that I know and follow on IG (Rebecca’s Seasons pack is my go-to). My only wish is that when browsing filter packs to buy, the example photos should show the before and after of the edited photo. It’s really hard to get an idea of what the filter might actually do when each example photo is different and there’s nothing to compare. This should be a really simple fix, just show half the photo unedited and half with the filter applied. I have bought packs before and then had them turn out pretty different from what I expected because I just can’t tell from the examples.

Love the Update!. I have loved this app since it was first released. It is super user-friendly and easy to use. With tons of tools and incredible filter packages, A Color Story really brings out the brightness and depth of photos, which is otherwise often difficult with phone photography. I am able to transform dull and drab images in just seconds with a few filters and tweaks. I am a huge fan of the most recent update as well. Having the ability to view my photos in the grid before posting them to social media allows me to see how each photo I edit works with the others I have taken. This way, it is much easier to keep up with a consistent style and aesthetic. 10/10 would recommend.

Pretty PO’d about the upcoming app change. First, I just want to say I was a evangelist for this app since day one. I showed it to all of my photographer friends and several friends that are popular influencers. But I’m beyond disappointed to hear that they are changing to a subscription service only. I’ve already paid for 37 of the filter editing packs that I specifically use (there are 47 total I believe, and I have also paid for several of the effects packs). I understand that I will be able to continue to use the packs that I have purchased. But should I want to purchased any future additions to their editing features, I would have to pay the subscription fee which is priced to include the THIRTY SEVEN packs I have already purchased. I have been using this app for years, and slowly built up my packs as I was able to do… I’m not about to throw away more money on a monthly basis for an app that I have already given a ton of my money to. I have been supporting the creators of this app since A Beautiful Mess (I also use the film app) and I’m sorry but I think it’s so lame that they are doing this.

great filters - but. i have to be honest - i love everything about ACS except for how OFTEN I’m prompted to write/rate a review for the app. it happens every update, even with nothing but minor bug fixes. i thought writing a review would get rid of the prompt boxes, so i’ve submitted multiple reviews and ratings only to still be prompted about how i like the app. i love it. great filters and incredibly user friendly. but when editing multiple photos in a row to prep them for stories sharing, it’s incredibly frustrating to deal with the review pop up that locks up the entire screen and completely interrupts the creative flow. for the reason i’m giving it one star because i deadass avoid opening and editing on this app because of the review prompts.

Beautiful. This app is perfection. The colors and the variety are amazing. Most photo editing apps focus on changing how you look completely. Make you thinner make you distort how you look. For me I love taking photos of my daughter. I don’t want to change her features. Or make her look different. But as she is a child sometimes my lighting is poor because I’m a mother taking photos on the fly. The color makes everything pop I can see her freckles better the landscape around her enhanced as well but not changing. My favorite features are her blue eyes and freckles but it’s hard for me to capture them. The amount of choices and color schemes help those things pop despite the photographer. All in all. Just a great app

Used to be perfect!. I’m a longtime user of this app and have purchased several packs over the years, meaning the switch to a subscription only model really irritates me. Sure, I can continue using the packs I already paid for, but I regularly have to “restore purchases” in order for them to show as being owned, and the entire app is now one giant ad for the subscription. I already paid for the presets I use, I’m not going to continue paying MORE than what I’ve already paid, every month, for ones I don’t/won’t. I now see that they took away framing entirely and made it a subscription only feature, which is also frustrating, especially since crop and straighten are such basic features, but I suppose I can use the native photos app to do this post-edits. All of that disgruntlement aside, my real complaint that is starting to become a dealbreaker, is how buggy the app has gotten since the major update. There’s a significant lag when selecting photos or returning back to the grid, and sometimes the app crashes or freezes. I’m sure the developers of this great app want to keep it running and make the most money possible off of it, but I fear it’s been ruined for me by the freemium subscription model and bugs. If I’m going to pay monthly for an editing app, it’s going to be Lightroom (which I do already pay for), which is leagues ahead of ACS in features/capability, and pricewise, about the same if you breakdown the photography package with photoshop.

Used to love. February 2024 and the app no longer works AT ALL. Just did another install and lost all of my presets in the process. Absolutely no effects or filters work anymore. No response from the makers of the app. Do not recommend. 2024 update: the app has been lagging and crashing badly for months. With the most recent iOS or app update, I can’t access the app. It will not allow me to restore any of my purchases. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, phone resets, etc. it’s literally not usable anymore. —- I’ve purchased at least 8 packs in app. With the last updates they removed previously free and basic features like framing your photo for square fit. It’s getting ridiculous. I already pay for filters and features I want to add, I shouldn’t have to pay for simple editing features that were previously free. Looking into alternatives and very disappointed I am now unable to use things I’ve already paid for.

Full featured image editor, but.... While the app has just about every editing feature a photographer could want, the fatal flaw is the output resolution. I edit 15-24mp DSLR images on my iPadPro, and this app down samples the photos and saves the edited images at 5-6mp. A real disappointment. The other deal-killer for me is the price. While you can buy all the filters separately for $1-2 a pop, the subscription price of $25 per year, IMHO is just too much. And frankly, the differences between the presets is often so subtle, and easily reproduced with the editing tools. I don’t need that many presets. If the resolution issue was fixed, I.e., the app saved at the original image resolution, I would probably spend $20 buying a select set of filters, but not invest in the annual subscription. I use too many other apps to spend that much money on a single app. Frankly, I think the subscription model has ruined the App-Store.

For as much as it costs, you’d think all features were accessible. I’ve been tired of using many photo editing apps,I’ll get used to them, even enjoy them, then suddenly features that WERE available slowly become part of a subscription plan. So I decided to give A Color Story a shot & actually consider paying for a year subscription. I was in that trial period when I realized this app is no different than the others. Can only utilize a very small aspect. If I can’t experiment with all the features of an app, then I’m not willing to pay for it. So I canceled my trial & deleted my app. But I’m still showing a pending subscription charge linked to my Apple ID. The app isn’t very helpful in guiding me on how to confirm that I will not be charged once that trial period is over. Can someone help?

as close to perfect as you can get.. Aside from the apps that came with my phone—text, email, weather, etc—this and Instagram are the only apps I have on my phone and use. And they go together perfectly. I have tried a number of photo editing apps in the past but ended up deleting them because this one is as close to perfect as you can get for a photo editing program on a phone. There’s a huge number of filters and new packs are released periodically. Always on trend colors and looks for your pictures, and with a wealth of classics, too. The filter packs are usually done as collaborations with well-known artists who have very specific styles, and so you end up being able to elevate own iPhone photos into works of art themselves. I use filters from every single pack and enjoy that you can create your own folder of favorites, which makes accessing them quick and easy. There are comprehensive editing tools as well like sharpen and brighten and temp editing. I appreciate that you can edit videos with the filters, too, because Instagram’s app is sorely lacking with video editing tools. I’m a dedicated fan of this app for life.

It’s great when it works. I love this app. They really listen to what we need, and do updates that make it easier to edit. They added blemish removal, and perspective changes. However, it’s only my favorite app when it works. Many times I’ve spent half an hour + editing one photo, only to have the app close out automatically and not save. Also, it closes out anytime I try to go to my grid. Sometimes when I save and grid photos, it doesn’t save the photo, and crashes every time I try to go to my grid. I paid for the upgrade to the app, so idk why it doesn’t work. I also can’t use anything on my iPad, which is linked to my phone. I’ve paid for the year sub. on my iPad as well as my phone, and it charged me but won’t let me use unless I pay. There’s no sign in or anything. It’s just frustrating because I’ve lost a lot of really good work, and I do really love the app. Just don’t expect to have your work when your completed.

Not set up for iPad users. Touching up photos are great however if you are an iPad user, the interface isn’t set up to automatically, or at all, to turn your iPad horizontally. So when you are editing, you must have your device vertical. I want to use this app attached to my removable keyboard while I type or edit my photos and I cannot. The batch edit feature is ok just be aware you can’t batch edit all the photos then go in a tweet just one or two, including rotating one photo in your batch. You must crop, rotate your one or two photos before you batch edit in this app. I give this app a four star because it’s the closet thing to Lightroom on your phone or iPad for quick photo editing especially for selling sites. The curves and shadow adjustment feature makes this app stand out above the rest.

Great app, missing a few things. I’m an artist and use my phone to take and edit reference photos frequently, so I’ve tried quite a few photo editing apps. Because I'm an artist (and other contributing factors) I’m poor and can’t justify spending money on a bunch of apps and subscriptions and whatnot, so I use what’s available for free. Color Story is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the best app I’ve found for editing color, contrast, temperature, and exposure. The free filters (and ability to adjust the intensity of said filters) are pretty decent, with a few stand outs, and the free effects aren’t bad either. So what’s it missing? The big two for me are easy blemish editing and controlled blurring. It’s irritating to have to edit many of my photos in multiple applications. But hey, for free, I’ll take what I can get and this really is a great, intuitive, simple, but fairly comprehensive photo editing app.

*sigh*. I was unhappy with this app, seeing as I was told by suggestions of ratings that this app was fantastic, earning a grand total of 8.4 star rating averaged. I was completely unaware that when I opened the app, you had to pay for anything unique, and things i had never seen before. Granted, most items are cheep, considering the use you make out of them, but you can easily turn a dollar into 20 when using this app. For the most part though, everything was fine until I found out I had to pay to edit my photos, after I had taken my time to shoot the photo, download this app with high hopes, and be very dissatisfied with the success I received. ( which was none ) o would not recommend this app to you if you are looking to not spend any money, and just look for something free. However, if you are willing to agree with the terms, you should be fine.

Superior photo editing app!. I have been using this app for over a year now, and intend on continuing to this this indefinitely. I have tried most other paid apps as well, in fact I started out on other apps and finally landed here. For what it’s worth I can’t remember ever having the app be glitchy on me, as other reviews are stating, but also... new app updates are rarely flawless. The app itself is quite easy to understand, and once you have a few filters you enjoy and use routinely, you can save them into an easy to navigate folder instead of applying 100 different filters and wasting time (hello, me). I have purchased over 10 packs of filters, without regret. I use this app to edit photos when I’m too lazy to hop on the computer, and process a majority of my photos for a relatively successful lifestyle/art instagram. Highly recommended!

Unique photo editing app I’ve been using since day 1. I’ve used this since ABM released it and I love it. Totally unique filters, and they got ahead of the trend for sure. I have purchased nearly every upgrade/filter pack and love trying new things with the app. My only feedback is that my pics save pretty blurry/degraded quality even with only a minimal filter added on. When I upload the pics to Facebook after editing with ACS, they don’t look great, but on Instagram they are just fine. I spoke to other friends and it’s 50/50 if they experience this or not. Either way, this is just some honest feedback. I still love the app and use it every single day. I have never had issues with this crashing or any other tech issues otherwise! It’s so creative and fun!

Never looking back!. I’ve been using ColorStory for years now, and I will never look back! It’s the best app for filters and there are always so many new ones coming out. You can really adjust and make them your own, too. I can’t fault the app as it’s easy to use, bright, colourful and perfect. Obsessed! ❤️

Superb. This app is just gorgeous. Every photo looks sensational. So much scope with even just the free filters/effects. I have purchased a few extra which have all been well worth it. Perfect for beginners who want to find their feet photo editing and look like a pro!

Fantastic Editing App!!. Love A Colour Story sooo much!! Even free, it has so many great features - something that other editing apps lack. My only problem is that I can’t seem to download the ‘Happiness Begins’ pack (which is free). It says that an error occurred and to contact support... but I can’t find any way to contact them - there’s no settings... PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Wonderful App. I love how it softens my photos makes them look magical I have bought a few filter packs and they never disappoint me at last an app where I can just pay a one off price and not sign up for subscriptions

Great app but need help!. I love this app, it's so good for editing personal and business photos. I was really enjoying using the function to save my fave edits though, and now it seems to be missing! How do I save my edits now? I want to be able to use the same edit on different photos. Its my fave part of the app.

My go-to photo enhancing app!. With so many features, the Color Story app is my first and only stop when it comes to getting my photos ready to share on social media or even just close family and friends. A library of filters, but also the editing tools you would see in photoshop like curves, brightening and sharpening, just to name a few. The creators are fast to respond to customers, which is an example of how much thought they put into not only this app but their customers. You’ll LOVE a Color Story!

Great tools, but slow and force quits. I’ve had this app for years and I genuinely love the editing tools and the fact that you can save your own presets and batch edit … but geeeee, this app jus is extremely slow, freezes and force quits. And i swear it’s getting worse (and I have up to date hardware). Please fix!!!!

Brilliant. Great appearance, so many editing options and extra effects for adding a creative touch wherever you need. I love that I can create anything from really natural barely touched images to creative and complex designs in the one app. I use this app all the time.

A True Standout. One of the few apps in the overcrowded photography space worth the money - I rank it in my top five along with the subscription only VSCO X, MuseCam, Colourtone and RNI Films. Like those others though, You do need to buy all the filter and effects packs to make the most of it.

Incredible. This app has changed the game. I often have to use my phone to film screen tests and self tapes for acting castings- and I always hate the lighting!! In the tools section of this app I can brighten the video, sharpen it and make sure it’s looking as close to HD perfect as it can on a phone!

Great features and easy to use. With ColorStory, I've been able to edit existing pictures and make them look the way I want to without having to take all new photos for my new business Instagram account.

all time favourite photo editing app. a color story is hands down my all time favourite photo enhancement app. it is absolutely beautiful with what it can do and how easy it is to use. the basic editing tools are simple and effective, and the filter and effects packs are absolutely out of this world. a color story takes my photos from 0-100 with such ease and inspires me to look for photo opportunities in such a different way, knowing what magic i can create with this powerful tool. there are always updates and new filter and effects packs being added so you are never short of inspiration. every single photo i take gets put through a color story and i cannot recommend it enough 🙌🏻

The best editing app. I have been using this app for years and it has always been reliable for helping me creating the vibe I am trying to achieve with my photos. Love it

Best Best App. Your life will never be the same !!!! Easy Peasy , This App Judy gets better and better. The update is great and easier to use. I li e how ACS will give you a run down on each colour group, really helps when you are looking for a particular colour scheme.

Used to be my favourite app. This used to be my favourite & most used app, but after the most recent update it is no longer very good. Previously you could use the “Brighten” tool to lighten or darken various spots in an image, but now you can only brighten/darken a single spot and if you try to brighten/darken subsequent spots they no longer save. So this function is now useless. Also moving the adjustment bar right to the bottom of the screen is inconvenient and awkward to use now, it’s previous position was MUCH better. Also the adjustments on all of the tools are now WAY too sensitive, and need to be much more gradual. I used to happily recommend this app to everyone who asked how I edited my photos, but sadly I can’t now. I now need to find a new editing app as this one is now unusable. Fingers crossed the developers consider reverting it back to its former glory.

A good experience. Deeply enjoy this app You do fantastic things with the different filters. Would really like some more filters for darker styles like ‘dark academia’ style things. The mood selection are my most used few because they work so well for this Moody haunting creations.

All you need. ColorStory is my go to photo editing app- so much so I pretty much ignore the others loaded on my phone. It’s worth noting you can edit videos too (a feature other apps often ignore) Can’t recommend highly enough.

Good app.. Love this app for editing. Brings fantastic colours and variety to my photos. Love all the packs. Just wish that you could purchase all at a relatively low cost. Works out very expensive for what you get in comparison to other apps. Really hate apps with such subscriptions. Would prefer a one off fee & access to all. I don’t buy into any subscriptions. There are way to many & they end up costing a fortune.

Good range of filters!. Always use this app for filters and adjusting every detail, would recommend! Only thing is is you have to purchase filter packs but that doesn’t bother me a lot 😊

Absolutely incredible photo and video editing app!. This incredible app, the brainchild of a team of superstar women, is the only app I ever use for retouching my images and videos. Super easy to use with pre-existing filters (all with such fun names), but also an incredible amount of control of you wish to retouch your Inage manually. Saving your favourite retouching actions is easy for pics taken in the same style light so you can quickly edit multiple pics. Or there’s even a bulk edit function. I also love the grid function (which you can also connect to Instagram) so you can get a flow of your images. Can not recommend enough! Happy creating!

2 biggish user issues, otherwise ⭐️ awesome ⭐️. The only editing app I use, and love using, but considered rating lower due to two issues I experience using the app. As issue 1. (below) renders app useless, it would’ve been 2 stars, but for saving grace of app being otherwise awesome when said issue doesn’t occur. Issue 1. Very very often when I load an image to edit the tool/nav bar at the bottom with filters/effects/tools doesn’t load at all or best case, takes several mins to appear. Have been using the app for years now and this feature has always been glitchy - have hoping for a fix with every update, but sadly continues to be a frequent problem. At the end of the day it can be a premium app but no point having and paying for it if you can’t access the tools! Issue 2. If you purchase ACS+ you should not only have access to packs to date, but all future pack releases - if already the case there are issues accessing new packs for some ACS+ subscribers. Lastly a suggestion; it would be incredible to be able to isolate areas of a photo when applying filters, rather than only a feature of the manual adjustment tools. Also find this isolation tool quite difficult to use. Would also love to see features like layering, collages and double exposures etc in future updates - would make it a legit one stop editing shop! Thanks for your amazing work guys & girls, hope this feedback is helpful to perpetuating the awesomeness ⭐️

I love this app!. So many great features, ESPECIALLY bulk editing! Saves small businesses so much time. Sometimes the “touch” feature can glitch if you do too many steps but that’s the only issue I have had. Worth the money ✨

ColorStory. ColorStory is such a good editing app. It’s a must have. There are so many amazing filters and more. For only $3 dollars you are able to unlock all the filters. But even the free ones are enough. For the first month I had it I used the free stuff which was really good. But then I trialed the other filter and I had to bye it for such a cheap price. I give it a I’ve star rating 💕🌌🏞

Good app with iffy features. This app is good with nifty features and filters. However it’s a little pricey for the “effects” packs that are constantly being promoted within the app. The are many other apps that offer the same things at a reasonable price.

Only app I use. This app has it all for photo editing for beginners or those with no time on their hands. With most filter packs free, you can choose not to buy the paid ones, but they’re so worth it!

Affordable quality filters. Love the range and that you can reduce the filter to how much you want it. Most packs have a variety of effects in the same category so can always find one that works well with the photo

Best photo app. I use this daily - it’s super easy and makes editing pictures fun and effortless. I love that you can buy extra editing packages for only a few dollars but it’s not necessary. Highly recommend!

Update has some problems. I have loved this app for some time. It’s my ‘go-to’ photo editing app, however I have lately had some issues with the new update, it freezes after I use the tilt and perspective tool. Hopefully this is fixed soon

Total must for Instagram business owners. Seriously takes Instagram pages to the next level. I noticed a huge increase in the reception to my products and even my personal posts when I started using this app. It’s easy as to understand and has so many awesome features. I don’t need any other photo editing app. It’s all there and it’s all I’ll ever use!

Subscription bullying. I have always loved Color Story filters and textures and I have bought many of them over the years. With the switch to subscription I still can use my purchased aps. However I was upset to now find a large banner on the top of every page I use to edit a photo encouraging the move to subscription. The banner gets in the way of my editing and is distracting and annoying. Having spent a lot of money over the years on the Color Story filters I think I have earned some appreciation for my support and I would like to continue to use this app without the bullying distractions thank you.

Too slow. The app is great but using it is frustrating because using preset filters takes too long… app seem non-responsive- takes too long to switch on each preset. Please do something to fix this

Infuriating experience. I use the most current iPad Pro, and it still isn’t enough to thwart the amount of times the Colorstory app will crash, especially during the save process. This has been an on-going problem. 3 years in, it’s no wonder I’ve migrated to other apps to give more consistency and stability. Just a poor experience all-round - this is just the first time I’ve been exasperated enough to write a review and help others stay away from this bug-riddled app.

Crashing Issues & No Landscape Mode for iPad Users.. I love this app and use it regularly on my phone, however it’s a nightmare to use on my iPad Pro. I’ve sent feedback about this before - the app can only be physically used in portrait mode, so rotating my phone or iPad onto its side is useless as it won’t autorotate. This is something that would make editing from an iPad much, much easier - especially if you’re using a 12.9 iPad Pro like I am. Since the latest update the app constantly crashes when trying to select a photo from my camera roll so now I have to resort to editing on my phone again. I love this app but can only give it 2 stars right now.

User friendly for the tech novice. Super easy edits in one touch. Takes some time to learn all the features but even when you use the same feature again and again, makes editing your images so easy! Love

Subscription model, yet again. Will only purchase something outright or one that has ads if that needs to be the way to make money. Subscriptions need to go, they are killing the market, maybe they assume no one buys other apps or something. Also the app history is full of ‘bug fixes and optimisations’, it must be a badly written app to keep needing so many updates yet fail to fix it.

Color me Happy !!. I’ve had this app suggested to me for ages, finally downloaded it. SO happy. Yes you have to pay for filter packs but the packs are gooooood, they have collabed with some of my fave IG accounts so my feed is looking pretty and bright and colourful and I Looove it. Such fantastic support too, with prompt friendly emails back when I emailed through a suggestion for a future update. One of my fave apps.

One of the better filter-based editors. I really like A Color Story. Many of the filters - even free ones - are usable and attractive, and the editing tools seen to work well too. I'm not quite as happy with the interface - in terms of switching between filters and tools, for example, or going back without losing what you've done. It can certainly be done; I just find it a bit awkward. Definitely worth the download though. 👍

So good!!. I really love the app however the filters are expensive and there is not much choice of filters. The aesthetic of the app is really nice and I love the design. I think that this app could be even better if it had drawing tools and the option to add stickers and layer photos and cut things out and paste them on. But overall I love using this app to touch up and brighten photos.

Love it, but.... I love this app. It’s my go to for editing, but there’s been so many updates that still haven’t fixed the problems I’ve faced with it. The app itself and the photos load incredibly slow and now with the new update it unexpectedly quits the whole app. It’s a great app but just very slow. Hoping there is a fix that can happen.

Love. love everything about this so many beautiful filters and effects! I love using the grid feature to plan my instagrams, everything you need in one app, best editing app I have come by!!!

!❤️!. I used to look at people’s edited photos and wonder why they would pay for that, but now I can edit my photos even better for free!! There is absolutely no skill needed whatsoever, it’s so simple and so effective!! One of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded for sure!

Beautiful filters. Been using this app for years now. The filters are amazing - just a bit costy. But if you can find a filter pack that suits what you like for all your photos, it’ll be worth it :)

Ease of use and no hidden costs or drama. I’m very new to the app but I’m finding it easy to use. Any additional costs are straight forward and reasonably priced in my view. No hidden costs which has earned my respect and appreciation! Great app for colour!

Best photo editing app. I run a small business and I use this app to edit all of my photos on my Instagram as well as on my website. I couldn’t do without it!

Beginner. I’m very new to the app and still trying to figure it out. So check in with me again in a few months’ time ☺️ So far though - love that it’s available. I like the ‘pop’ filter. But would love some clarification on which things are free to use and which has a cost :)

Love this app. I use this App all the time - Love all the simple yet beautiful and subtle changes the different filters can make. I’m probably only using just part of the creativity it offers

Easy to use but full of function. Love how easy it is to edit my pics on the go but still be packed full of features. Recommend buying some of the packs to play around but can easily do on the essentials as well.

Probably the best filter app I’ve used. The range of filters are amazing and there is so much creative control with this app!! The only caveat is that sometimes it does affect the quality of the picture which is something I’m sure you’ll update soon enough. Great job!

Lost all my purchased apps. I have been using this app for years and have been really happy with it. I’ve spent about $50 on different filter packs and effects over that time however, I go to create a new saved filter today and all my filter packs I purchased are no longer showing as purchased. The only way to use them is to purchase them again! I have updated the app along with deleting and reinstalling the app to no avail. I would not recommend this app at all.

Grid isn’t working.. Love the app and all its features. Definitely a long term user and have purchased filters and more. I especially love the grid feature but it no longer works. Unsure of how to fix this problem and haven’t found any help on the issue.

Frustrating. I’m trying to edit but every other button is a trap that leads to a pop up or external link

Fabulous app. Happy to have been using this app when it first came out. I continue to use it for nearly every photo I post. 🇨🇦

No longer worth it. I used to love using this app and had purchased some of the filters but since the upgrade to a monthly subscription I lost my paid purchases and they now want me to subscribe every month. In search of a new editing app as it’s no longer worth it.

New look but same bugs. The new look of the app is a refreshing change but I’m still running into the same problems; I can’t select multiple pictures and repeat a batch edit after already editing a bunch of photos. I’m forced to exit my grid and re-open in order to select multiple photos. The “remove blemish” and “remove object” functions don’t work consistently; even if the edits look like they’ve gone well, once I save the photo, there’s large weird spots on the images and I have to re-edit and resave, hoping they export properly. Lastly, I miss the “add to grid” function, vs the “add to grid and save” that’s now the only way to save your work. I used to make edits, add them to my grid, then select all of them once I’m finished and finally save them to my photo roll. It allowed you to go back and make additional adjustments to photos without saving multiple copies.

Amazing. So easy to use, so many incredible features, and one of the only apps I’ve ever used that doesn’t give you ‘tacky’ edits. 10/10.

Disappointed. I’ve been using this app for quite a few years with many pre-sets purchased and it’s always been so slow, glitchy and crashes so often. It’s quite frustrating when trying to edit your content as the app just doesn’t want to work properly. It’s been like this since the day I started using it so it’s disappointing that nothing has improved whatsoever over the years. It takes way longer than it should to edit content so safe to say I’ll be shopping for a better app as this one just makes it way harder to edit anything, and takes up more time than necessary. Not to mention, batch editing barely works and is probably the most frustrating part of the app. It’s always glitching, deselects my pictures and will again, crash.. it saved one picture multiple times to my album instead of saving the entire batch edit. Very annoying

Love this app. Love this app!

False. Paid for some filters and effects. And now it’s asking me pay for a subscription to use them.

Love it. Amazing photo editing app!

two thumbs up! 👍👍. wonderful app

Easy to use!. I really love this app. I wish more filters were free, but having said that, I can really do a lot with it. It has taken my photos quickly to the next level.

Love!. My daily go to for photo editing

Great. Brilliant app and how wonderful that we can now also edit videos!

Steals Your Money. I’m super unimpressed with Color Story. I bought a bunch of filters before they offered their “pro” package and now they won’t let me use the filters I already PAID for because I don’t have pro. Unbelievable.

Love it 😀. So many options love it

Ok. I think you should make it so you don’t have to but extra stuff because young people might want to get it but can’t afford it.

Sabrina. This is the best photo editing app I have used.

Amazing. So many options

Morning. Awesome

Great filters and effects. i love that i can get all the beautiful pictures on the same app that i can edit the photos lighting & such. they also have an update so you can pre-plan your insta feed on a grid. definitely would recommend

Best filters. Easy to use, cheap to add extensions + really good quality

The best photo editing app. Simple, beautiful filters, nice aesthetic.

Fun App. It is easy to use and just helps “fix” your photos for your social media feeds.

Like the app a lot. I really like the app and capabilities though I wish it had some of the elements Facetune and snapseed have to make it complete. That's why I gave it 4 (wanted to give 4.5 but won't allow me).

Use Everyday. Mom of 5 instagrammer that uses this everyday! I am obsessed with the filters, you can decide how much or little. It has all the adjustments for editing a picture without going to PhotoShop. Love it.

Love this app. So many great filters

Best photo app. Easy to use, great filters.

Love all the presets. A great selection of filters. I don’t use any other editing app except this one!

SOOO worth it!. One of the best apps, worth every dollar!

$$$$$. Everything costs money. You get 4 basic instagram filters and the rest are $11.99 for a set of 4 filters. Don’t bother. You’re better off tweaking with your built in iPhone editing tool.

Love this!!. Great photo editing app! Love all the filters! Been using this for >2 years now!

Stole my purchases. I used this app for years and I had purchased a few editing packs. Went to use it today and now it’s trying to charge me for all of them. This app is a scam, just use VSCO.

Love it! And easy to use.. I hope you will also enjoy! Love it, easy to use 😍 Great application, fun to use!

Love A Color Story. I love the consistency and uniqueness that I can add to my photos to make them really spectacular!

My favorite app. I’ve been using this app for five years now and I love it so much! Thank you for developing this amazing app :)

My fave photo editing app. Love this app, easy to use and photos always look great

Easy to use!. Love this app. So easy to use with great results!

Perfect. 💪🏼💪🏼

Pretty good.. You gotta pay for a lot of the features on this app. It’s annoying however it hasn’t hindered me from not using it, and I do plan on buying more filters eventually. They give you such small options though. Besides that being a negative, I like how simple it is. It serves its purpose!

Fav editing app. This is by far my favourite editing app. If you’re wanting A+ photo editing tools, you’re going to have to pay for them regardless. I’ve used many others out there but this is by far the best app I’ve used for quick, seamless and beautiful edits! The batch function now too... AMAZING! I have saved SO much time on editing with a few purchases. This is my go to app for all editing now.

Almost Perfect!. Love this app! Worth the money (you do need to make in app purchases for the good stuff.) the only feature I wish would update is, when you select a photo from your camera roll at the very beginning, you can’t scroll through to another photo, you need to go back, and select a different thumbnail. Sometimes if you have a few pictures that are similar it would be good to be able to scroll through them at full size. Otherwise, everything else is amazing and I highly recommend!

Meh. More free content please

100%. Love this app! Use it all the time.

No comparison!. I’m a professional photographer and this is my absolute favourite photo editing app. I actually prefer it to Lightroom mobile!

Love app. Room for improvement. Then batch editing feature has room for improvement. It always freezes and closes the app, making you edit one photo at a time. A lot of time could be saved by fixing this.

So easy to use!. So easy to use!

My go to photo editing app. It's perfect.

Love this app. My go to app for adjusting photos! Love their filters

Not worth it. There is 5 free (terrible) filters, everything else costs about $11.99 to purchase and then you can’t preview the filters to see what they would look like on your own photos before buying so this is a waste of your time. Stay away!

Top App. I have used this app from the early days of its launch and am still so in love with it! It’s interface is so easy to learn and navigate, the endless editing options -from tweaking brightness and clarity to all the amazing filters- are so fun to play around with and make every photo I choose to share that much more special! The Color Story team is very helpful, when I couldn’t figure out how to restore purchases in the app, my question was responded to quickly and my problem solved like *that*! 10/10 would recommend to anyone & everyone.

Glitches sometimes. I've used this app for years. I'm not thrilled with the subscription method. I liked being able to pick what I wanted once in a while when I had some spare money for it. With the switch I lost my packages I'd paid for and customer service helped me get them back. I had built up quite a library so I'll continue using those packages, but I doubt I'll ever start paying for a subscription. The app often glitches and closes out in the middle of an edit. The subscription icon is in my face. The filters are great though. So many options. I think it's a good app to use if you don't like manually editing and want a lot of filter options.

Use this app for all my small business images. Been using this app for a few years at the pro level and I love all the many options to edit the photo in an extremely user friendly way. I’m not a photographer or photo editor but I feel like I can get the images looking professional with ease with this app. My one complaint was their was a glitch when doing batch edits that if you selected your photos too fast the filters wouldn’t show up or apply in the editing steps, very recently I have noticed this is no longer an issue and so I couldn’t be happier now.

No longer free?. I used to love this app, I’ve used it for MANY years and for many different purposes and businesses. I’ve bought packs, I’ve paid for the whole sha-bang... I came to a point where I really wasn’t using ALL the filters so I went back to the free version and just purchased the packs I would like as needed. I was SO disappointed to open the app to edit, and see that touch editing now needs to be purchased. If you added new items and made them to be purchased, that’s expected, but to go backwards on an item…? Why? There are so many other editing apps out there that are honest and up front about what they charge for. If I’m going to pay for an editing app, it’s going to be one that does everything I need it to. Like the other (and now only) one I use. Lame…

Great app, but impossible to test new packs. This app has some great filters and it’s very intuitive. I don’t mind paying extra for new filters, but I wish there was a way to see how much of a difference the filters make before actually buying them. The new packs are advertised on filtered pictures that you can’t compare to the originals. It’s hard to tell how the filters will turn out on my own photography without purchasing. If you could include a side-by-side if filtered and unfiltered images, it’d be really helpful and I’d be less hesitant about buying more packs!

This app is almost unusable due to spammy UI. I used to love this app and used it as my exclusive photo editing tool. I spent a lot of $$$ buying filter packs and really loved the effects. Then they introduced the subscription plan and shortly after that came the incessant pop ups telling you there are new things for you to buy (even though you’ve already purchased plenty). The amount of annoyance and hassle to click through those ads for subscription or new filters has made this app unusable. I cannot focus on editing my photos due to all of the mess. I wish I hadn’t of spent the money I did for something that would be become useless in a blatant money grab. Freemium at it’s worst, even for paying customers, please avoid.

The only editing app I use. I looove this app! I used to use a few different photo editing apps but now I almost exclusively use A Color Story. I love the way you can make colors really pop using the filters but there are so much other things you can do with it too! The only problem I have sometimes is I notice if you do a lot of cropping/tilting/perspective changes, your image can get a little lower quality, so I tend to save those for last or make the adjustments on my camera roll after. Other than that I love this app and everything it offers!

Crashes every single time can’t download anything. I love this app WHEN IT WORKS! I’ve had it for months now and love the filter and effects they offer (so many) but for the last couple days, the app has been shutting down on me and closing itself. I’ll be in the middle of editing & it’ll close, losing everything. I’ll be in the middle of saving the video to download and it’ll close. I’ve tried using the app with WiFi, without WiFi, I’ve tried using it on airplane mode, I’ve exited all other apps completely and made sure it’s the only one running, I’ve closed out the app and reopened it after 5 mins to let it rest and still nothing, and finally I’ve deleted the app & redownloaded it completely 7 times exactly now. Does not work anymore.

I love this app, but a few suggestions!. This is my favorite filters app by far. So much variation in the filters and I feel like I can get a lot for my money as well. I wish that there were a selective edit option as well as a way to see the before photo as you’re editing an individual step, instead of saving the step and then pressing and holding on the photo. Additionally, there are so many good filters that I wish I could view them just a bit larger on the bottom! I do truly love this app despite these little suggestions. Yay!

Sooooo..... I absolutely LOVE A Color Story. It’s legit the only filter/editing app I use. Only downside....that I didn’t download it sooner. I love how there’s a filter for everything. Whether you’re looking for something subtle + natural, something to make your photos (+ videos!) pop, or you just want to express yourself with something funky, retro, + cool—this app has the filters and/or tools to make it happen. It has a bit of everything. I live off of this app. Download it + get the filter packages like NOW. I promise you you won’t regret it!!! And not to mention, that the San Francisco filter pack is to die for!

My fave photo editing app!. I’ve tried all of the major photo editing apps out there and none are as user friendly or visually appealing as A Color Story. I downloaded the app the day it was released and have purchased every plus pack. As long as my camera roll photos aren’t awful (and sometimes even if they are!) it makes any photo look better. I can instantly get brighter whites and bolder colors with tools, and can throw on great warm, and vintage filters for the clean but seventies look I like for my photos. The new update includes a grid for Instagram planning and it’s the app I so needed as a social media manager. Love love love A Color Story and couldn’t recommend it enough.

The ONLY photo editing app I use. Full disclosure, I am a pretty casual photo taker/editor, so my review is coming from that perspective. With that said, I have a deep love of art and good design, so how my photos look is VERY important to me. I’ve used apps like VSCO to edit my photos in the past, but A Color Story is by far the most useful and intuitive photo editing app I’ve ever used. It is so quick and easy to edit photos with this app, and the pre-set filters they include actually look nice, rather than making your photos look like they’re from the early Insta days. Highly recommend!!

Too many promo pop ups. I used to love this app and has been my go-to for editing photos but now it’s just annoying to navigate. They pop up extensions they want you to buy within the app constantly and interferes with editing your photos. Just upon opening the app at least 3-4 pops up come up before I can even start using it. Then as your editing random ones keep popping up. They also appear in such a way you almost accidentally buy things because they come up so suddenly in the middle of doing something that they get selected. This is such a nuisance and pretty shady way to setup your app that badgers and almost tricks people into buying more of your stuff unintentionally. I will be removing this from my apps and looking for a different photo editing app.

That’s all I need. Being a professional photographer, I have dabbled in all the color toning apps out there. So often the technical aspects are so consuming that I’d rather not bother on my mobile. Then this app came along and it’s the only app I use for color toning. It’s so easy, the built in filters are not over the top, the UI is clean, the sample photos don’t make me cringe, and they save my profiles while also allowing for minor adjustments. I also just make my friends install it before I give any more advice on mobile editing. Worth every penny, even for non photographers. That’s what I tell every friend I recommend it to.

SUCH a great app.. I know there are others advertised on Facebook but nothing will give you the ability to customize your photos like this. I can do some really artistic stuff and just brighten up, without washing out, a pic of my dog asleep in a dim room. You can find a filter or effect you like, but choose the intensity and layer. You can get a lot with the basics, but you can add filter packs as you go for a couple of bucks. Also, there have been some really awesome promotional filter packs (like when Kesha and the Jonas Brothers released albums that are fun.)

Generally love this, but latest update created a glitch. I basically really like using this app to make my iPhone photos look more like 35mm camera photos. I get tons of compliments and people cannot believe I just used an iPhone. My only complaint is that the latest update inexplicably created an annoying problem that didn’t used to be there (and I’ve been using this app for a few years). Now when you finish fixing up a photo and you save it, the app won’t allow you to go on to start working on a new photo. You have to close the app and reopen it to start working on a new photo!! Very annoying — I do hope they fix this as it didn’t used to be an issue.

Love the user experience but it’s SO BUGGY. When it works, it’s great! Easy editing, great filters, good stuff without having to pay for filter packs. Their filters are obviously supposed to mimic some of the more popular Lightroom presets without the price tag or expertise attached. That said, this app has been SO buggy lately. When toggling between editing features (i.e. clicking over into filters after cropping a photo), it seems like the app shows a white screen or blank bar where editing tools should be at least 50% of the time. I’m constantly having to quit and restart the app entirely, losing any edits I made prior to bugs rearing their heads. Please fix this!

Batch edit and grid feature glitchy. Love this app, I use it for all of my photo editing. However, the new color adjusting tool doesn’t work when you’re editing multiple photos, which is SO frustrating if you need to do the same fixes to tons of photos, and the Instagram grid planning feature crashes almost every single time I use it. I emailed support about this and they were pretty unhelpful, just telling me that it might be my signal in certain areas (nope) and to uninstall/reinstall, update my app, and update my software, all of which I had already done and didn’t fix the problem.

Brilliant photo editing app!. This app is so good I want to give it a friendship bracelet! You can edit individual colors; it’s a game changer for foodies that annoyingly need the food photo to match the actual food color. It also lets you move the filters around on the bar so you can access your favorites quickly. ColorStory has given me something I never knew I needed. Now all apps have to give this to me immediately. I wouldn’t say the app is super intuitive at first but once you get it, you G E T I T. I would highly recommend this is app but I’m nervous to tell my friends because I want to horde the secret of this awesome app to myself.

No more square fit?. I’ve loved this app for a long time, ever since it launched I’ve spent a lot of money to unlock almost every filter and effect pack. I’ve used and spent money on a lot of other photo editing apps, and this is by far my favorite. I’m also very supportive of the creators. But it seems like recently they’ve taken away the ability to do a square fit frame (like for Instagram) and instead put it behind a paywall. I understand adding extra frame options and colors and making that a paid upgrade- but a plain white square fit frame was always a standard edit option in this app, which is one of the things that made this app the perfect instagram companion. Removing what was already basic, free, functionality in this app and putting it behind a paywall feels really disappointing and greedy. I hope this was just an accidental oversight and that the developers will consider restoring that as free functionality. I also believe there is a bug right now- every time i finish editing and try to save my photo, it does not actually save to my camera roll. I was able to get around this by then tapping “share” and using that secondary OS menu to save, but that’s a little frustrating as well.

The Ultimate Photo Editing App. A Color Story is the only editing app I use for my photos. I even deleted Photoshop & Lightroom for it as it suits my personal needs the best! It’s easy to navigate, use and it helps to create the most beautiful photos. I love the huge range of filter packs that come free and are available for purchase, they’re cheap too! I love that I can add effects to my photos, change the curves, add brightness to a specific spot and see how it looks on my Instagram with the help of the super handy grid feature. My only wish is that A Color Story is developed further into a desktop mode so I can edit my photos in the exact same way on my laptop as I can on my phone. I know they sell desktop presets, but I would prefer to have the control like I do now. It’s far easier to use for newbies who don’t understand Photoshop or Lightroom like me. PLEASE make this happen! It would change the game. To summarise, you need this app. Go download it!

At first I was afraid. But I love it! I use it when I want more subtle changes with photos and I wish the sets weren't so much (it ends up being more expensive than VSCO, which bums me out). But I love the latest update where you can edit video and boomerangs - that makes up for it all! EDIT: Please fix this: when I go to adjust curves, the upper right corner triggers the pull down menu and I have to create another point below it to edit anything. I understand (and love) that they give the photo a larger viewing area, but maybe bump the margins for this one so we can access the original point?

Disappointed in changes. I’ve been using this app for years and have recommended it countless times to people and other small business owners for product photos processed on your phone. Sadly, with the update, the batch editing feature frequently malfunctions (loads photos, but doesn’t edit them), which greatly impacts me using this to process sets of photos. Yes, I can “technically” got to the extra effort of creating my own preset to apply one at a time to each photo, but the batch editing feature was a huge perk when it was added. Also, the CONSTANT bombardment of adds for other presets or to become a monthly member is off-putting. I’ve started buying other presets for Lightroom from others and use this much less. As a long-time user of this app, I’m very disappointed in these changes.

Great App!!! Tons of options!. I have used this app since it came out and it has become my go to app for editing pictures. When I first started using it I mainly used the filters I had purchased, but now that I have used the app for a while, I have learned how to edit photos using the settings too and I love the control I can have over the end results! I also love the variety of options I can use and how my pictures turn out. There really is a huge variety of picture styles to choose from. I also love that the app creators are always finding new things to add and listen to the suggestions made by app users. I highly recommend this app!!!

A wonderful app with a couple draw backs. This is a very nice editing app, with amazing filters and tools. Not to mention the IG grid is a great plus. HOWEVER, there are some drawbacks which keep my from using the app. The #1 reason I don’t use ACS anymore and won’t pay for the subscription is that photo capture dates are not saved upon import & export. This is huge for me, as I like my photos sorted by the date they were taken, not the date they were edited, which is what happens when exporting out of ACS. It just makes it super hard to sort through photos down the road. Most of the popular editing apps such as VSCO, Dark Room, Lightroom CC, and even Huji Cam maintain capture dates (and GPS location), which is why I resort to using those - and paying for their subscriptions - instead. This seems like a no-brainer feature to have on an editing app personally. Additionally, the curves tool UI is not my fave. It’s hard to adjust without accidentally creating a new curve point/dot. I don’t have this issue with any other curves tools on other apps. If the above were fixed I would strongly consider switching back and paying for the ACS subscription.

Great app until.... I would be giving 5 stars to this app. But something happened in last week or so and all the “free” edits that i had and purchased through promotions they’d given are gone plus the one edit “Organic” i did pay for is gone from my list and asking me to purchase again. I loved all the edits i had and used them frequently. Customer support needs to figure out what happened and there’s no explanation on it. UPDATE: Support sent instructions on how to restore my purchases and now I have all the edits back. Thank God!! Few of my FAVE edits are Captiva, Style and Organic. Use them for all my pictures.

Beyond Disappointed. Literally just downloaded this app and was very excited to try it out but every time I tried to save a video I'd spent time editing and putting filters on (which was a wonderful process and came out beautifully which is why I was so excited for this app in the first place!!) the app crashed. I haven't even tried using this to really edit a photo yet (I played around editing one but didn't save it) which might save without crashed bc that was obviously the original function of this editor but I'm just so frustrated and annoyed that they'd have a feature that works all the way until the end of the process available that I'll probably never use this app again out of pure stubbornness. Very sad bc the interface, editing features, and filters are all really nice.

They thought of it all!. I'm really impressed by this app - it's incredibly user friendly, has a ton of different tools, and is a great value. Once I play around with it more and get a grasp on the "look" I like the best, I know it's going to be a big time saver for me as I edit photos! Update: the latest version of this app is INCREDIBLE. They seriously have thought of it all. So excited that I can now easily edit videos with filters and with cropping etc. AND I can grid out my Instagram posts. Eliminating the need for other apps one update at a time!

2.0 is everything and more!!. I’ve been a huge fan of ACS from the beginning and am continually impressed with every tool and new filter pack that comes out. 2.0 is blowing my mind!!! I LOVE the new grid planning feature which allows me to see all my edits at once and it’s super easy to use. The new batch editing feature is already saving me so much time! My edits are really custom so on top of saving my own presets, I can now apply them to however many photos I want all at once. Also, the redesign is absolutely stunning. It’s so convenient to have everything in one app like this...2.0 is everything!!!

Long time fan, recently disappointed. Loved this app and have been using it for several years, but the recent update was super disappointing. Not only did the design become less user friendly, but it took away several of my favorite filter packs that I had unlocked or received as special offers over my time using the app (ex: the “free” Jonas Brothers “happiness begins” filter packs we were gifted last summer). The editing function is more clunky, and is made even more frustrating by the constant pop ups prompting me to buy expensive filter packs and ACS+. The app is basically one big advertisement now. I’ve bought filter packs I liked on the past but am very unlikely to do so in the future. In the current pandemic situation, I and most people can’t afford to spend money monthly on a feature like ACS+ and constantly having it be advertised on top of taking away the free filter packs I was gifted in the past feels tone deaf and insulting. This was my favorite editing app, it’s still functional enough but I barely use it now and will probably delete it soon if it does not improve.

All Five 🌟. As a small business owner, this app really helps me plan social content anytime, anywhere. It’s intuitive to navigate, offers a seamless UX/UI, and the editing options are great! Connecting all of my clients IG accounts is easy, and the grid updates in real time when new content is published. I’ve been using A Color Story for many YEARS and am still shocked it’s free. If you’re managing multiple social media profiles, a marketer, entrepreneur, or just like to plan out your personal profile’s aesthetic, then this app is for you! Try it—you’ll love it. 💯

My favorite app!. I use this app always when it comes to editing photos of my inventory for my online shop. Everything about it is perfect, especially the ability to save your custom filter. My only issue is that using batch edit causes the app to crash. Whether it’s picking photos via batch, or saving the savings after using batch edit. It usually crashes for me when I do this, especially if I have quite the bit to save. This is my only reason for not giving this app a full five stars. But I will definitely edit this review if there is a fix for this. I honestly can’t bring myself to use another photo editor. I really hope the crashing issue gets resolved!

My favorite photo editing app!. I’ve been using this app for years and I just love it so much. My favorite feature is being able to touch your photo as you’re editing it, to see the before. This really helps to make sure I haven’t over edited my photo or maybe eliminated a color in the photo that I didn’t realize I liked. I can’t use another editing app solely for this function! The filters are stunning and most importantly this app is extremely user friendly. I just love everything about it! 10/10

climbing to the top. this app has come a long way! for so long i’ve had to use multiple photo editing apps to achieve the aesthetic i’m looking for - and even with all of that i’m never 100% satisfied. i’m so glad I gave ACS another shot because it includes sooo many of the features i’ve been looking for all wrapped up in one spot. you’ll find a few free filters/effects/etc. but you have to purchase the best ones - which i’m completely ok with because it’s worth it for the quality of the app. love it! can’t wait to see what’s to come.

This is may go to editing app and the only one I’ll ever use. I saw that my mom had his app and I throughly I would try it. After I got this app I always edit my photos with it. I love all the options and I definitely would recommend that you get his app. This app is free as I believe and it would be worth it if it was $1,000. I know this is just my opinion but if you are debating on wether or not to get this app... GO GO FOR IT. You should totally just get it and all you will be obsessed with how good YOU can make your photos #perfectinstagram. Even though you have to pay for filters, they give you options and I LOVE THIS APP

Top Flight!!!. I have gotten the chance to use many applications, but most have left me totally unsatisfied with the final product. This app gave me the ability to edit both video AND still photography from my portable devices with ease. The results are about as close to professional as I have ever experienced. Even though you have to pay for many effects packs, they are affordable. To be honest, you could possibly create the exact same ones in the adjustments if you take the time to explore the app enough. I am sooo happy that I have purchased this app! Would like the addition of a GIF maker...

2.0 update is awesome!. The update is incredibly well thought out. The app now has features that I hadn’t seen in other photo editing apps (but wish they had). You can do a grid planner which can connect to your Instagram acct. The grid is super user friendly - as far as moving the photos around, editing them from the grid, an you can even schedule posts from this app now! The app can now do batch editing as well, which is an awesome time saver and creates a consistent look with your photos. Also I bought the Fawn pack a few weeks ago for editing and am IN LOVE! It makes the photos so dreamy and creamy smooth💕

LOVE this app!. I have purchased about $15 in packages from this app and I love everything about it! It's great for all ages and the curves tool is a great way to learn about how different effects change the photo and what they do, especially for older and younger people unfamiliar with editing! This app also clearly lays out all features in each screen and you can save previous editing techniques which is helpful for specific shoots or days. The only thing I would add would be the ability to save photos inside the app. I also love that you can shoot inside of the app and edit as you shoot- this has taught me a lot about photography! Overall a great app!

LOVE this app but. Ok this is my go to photo editing app. It’s amazing but sometimes it glitches after I make a purchase on a new filter and then suddenly it loses all my previous purchases. This has happened several times and is a bummer when it does happen bc I LOVE using this app to edit!! The filters are so fun and you can find something to fit the vibe you want. It’s just so disappointing to pause editing bc I’m waiting (crossing my fingers) for my purchases to magically restore…and they do after a while but I forget and anxiously wait each time it happens :/

Pretty Great App!. I absolutely love using this app to edit 99.9% of all my photos. The filters I’ve acquired from either free downloads or paid for packs (worth it!) prove to provide the aesthetic I’m looking for. The newest update could use for a little more definition in icons (too much white). One feature I feel is a must for this app is there should be an easier way to see the before and after of the edits. Because there are a lot of ways to edit one photo due to all the creative filters and effects you can use, it’s almost necessary to have! Something as simple as a long hold on the photo would work for me.

My Absolute Favorite!. I’ve been using A Color Story since it launched, I’ve purchased all the packs and honestly it’s one of the only editing apps I use for all 3 of my social media accounts! I honestly love it so much it’s the first thing I recommend to others who are looking for an app that can do it all! If you like pinks, white’s, vintage or modern there’s a look for everyone, don’t believe me follow the hashtag on Instagram #acolorstory and you’ll see what I’m taking about! If you’re looking for an app that has it all look no further and download A Color Story, you can thank me later 🙂🌺❤️

LOVE THIS APP! But please add videos to grid. I absolutely love this app and use it almost everyday to edit pics and plan my grid! I mostly use it for my small business IG account so it’s really helpful for quick edits and scheduling posts. I noticed that the grid preview doesn’t include videos/reels once they’ve been posted though! If I post a reel to my feed it will show up in my grid on IG but not in this app’s grid feature if that makes sense. At a glance that’s basically like missing an entire post and does affect the overall look. Would love if there was a solution for this!! Thank you!!

Great update for a great app. I love the new feature where you can choose a custom area to apply changes to! Maybe if you could drag the circle tool that chooses where to apply the change, that could improve it, but it’s just an idea! I have used this app on videos for a long time, then switched hobbies and now use it on pictures of my traditional art and I am always so happy with what I can do. I don’t normally update or review updates, but I had a hunch I should for this app and am REALLY impressed. I am happy, thank you to the developers!

Incredible App. I’m a photographer who hasn’t taken photos for a few months since moving, but I decided to head for a fun, freelance style direction and experiment with “Instagram” style photography. I downloaded a few other apps such as PS and LR mobile which are of course great, but I saw an ad for A Color Story and decided to try it. I was stunned by the amount of options available including filters, effects, and more. I’m still on the free trial but definitely plan on paying for the full plan-which is ONLY $24 total for a year. Absolutely worth the inexpensive cost. My photos look professionally edited and it only takes a few taps. Highly recommend!

Updates have ruined this app for me. I am disappointed because I really used to love this app, but with every update, some of the features I used the most get removed from being free features and added to the paid version. I am not opposed to paying for apps. I have spent quite a bit of money on this app purchasing filters before they moved to the subscription model. But when you take BASIC features like the “frame” feature and force a user to purchase a subscription to use it, I feel like this is just greed on the part of the company. I support paying for apps to fund the vast amount of work that goes into them, but I do NOT support taking free features that users are accustomed to using and forcing them into purchasing a subscription to continue to use them. There are plenty of photo editing apps out there and I guess I’ll just switch to one of those.

Perfect Editing. I love this app! It has so many different options and tools(I did purchase from the app but it was worth it). This is great especially when you’re on the go and just want to use your phone for photos and editing. Super convenient and useful. The updates are wonderful but I would like to mention I love the grid tool that allows you to plan out your feed perfectly! Still wonderful and I love the updates! There's definitely more creative freedom but it's still simple enough to keep everything that way. Love it!

My favorite editing app. I have been using A Color Story for many years because 1) I love A Beautiful Mess, aka Elsie and Emma 2) it is fun to look at and intuitive in function. Apps usually aren’t both of these things! One recent update that I love is that they suggest filters based on your preferences. They have so many filters that having suggestions has made this app even better. I use it for editing photos of my work for social media and for personal photos as well. It’s the best!

My go to photo editing app. A Color Story App is the only app that truly embodies my colorful & bright brand and my warm yet cool personal self into the most perfect filters you could dream of. The app is user friendly. I love the new addition of gridding edited photos into your existing Instagram feed. Super helpful! I’m a die hard fan with all the packs- they are worth every penny! Also, it’s great to have such a female-centric photo editor on my phone. Elsie & Emma have done a fabulous job setting their brand apart from other similar apps. While I have other options, I use this for every single photo I share.

Way better than VSCO. I got this app, because I liked one specific filter I saw in an advertisement. When I opened it after downloading it was very simple to use but had so many options at the same time. The different filter packs cost money, and I told myself I would get one, but now I have at lest seven or eight. If you get this app I really suggest the “Mood” pack, because the “Westwood” filter is SO GOOD I put it on all of my pictures and I get so many compliments on them when I barely had to do any work. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Don’t like the newest update... so frustrating. I usually really love this app - it’s always been easy to use and the features included were fantastic. With the newest update, I just had to choose to either pay $3 or subscribe to a monthly service just to be able to square off and fame my photos ... this used to be free. Also the cropping tool is beyond frustrating ... the auto-sizing options that are available are pointless (who crops their photos that skinny??) and the free crop option is literally impossible to use as the guides don’t sense your finger and refuse to move. The only one that does is top left and it brings down the apple Notification Center slider along with it. I hope the fix this soon.
