Recent updates have made my go to editor with multiple glitches, now unusable. Polarr has been my go-to photo editing for several years. I’m a freelance digital artist, and after trying dozens of different apps, Polarr was the best. It had very specific abilities regarding layering images and the size/resolution abilities, which I can’t find anywhere else. Unfortunately, a few months ago, it started having more errors. It would freeze and close, sometimes losing any edits I’d made. It would open files as black boxes. These issues increased to the level it was hard to work. Their email customer service responds only after multiple emails, and the responses are copy/paste “please wait for a future update.” The most recent update changed the max resolution from 17”x17” to 13”x13”, so even if the now extremely frequent glitches are fixed, I have to reduce my size of my art by 20%. So, I’m again hunting for a new image editing app.

This app makes you pay for everything now.. In order to use some of the effects and filters you have to pay a subscription when almost everything on this app used to be free. It would be one thing if it was a one time only purchase, but now you have to go through a monthly subscription paywall which is insane to me. This app used to be so fun when everything was free and you could make cool edits with it but now most of the tools used for editing are “locked” and require a subscription and you can only import more than 3 filters at a time without a popup from the app saying “only 3 filters allowed you need to upgrade to be able to use more”. You also have to upgrade to be able to use the “liked filters” feature and most editing effects/features on the app are locked. Most things on this app now require a subscription which is unfair to now have everything hidden where you can’t even use it.

Money grab now.. I’ve used this app for years, back before there was featured and you had to search for codes to use. It’s come a long way and it’s great, but now I can’t even use the filters I have saved anymore. I have 100 filters saved, and now I have to pay to use those? And now with every picture I save, I have to watch an ad? I understand needing to make money, but this is just greed at this point, and if you don’t have premium the app is pretty much unusable. And before you say “the ads are needed for further developments,” WE DONT NEED ANY FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS. The app has been fine for years, you’re losing users by doing this! Please make it more usable for those who aren’t gonna buy premium like it used to be. Let me use my filters I’ve had saved for YEARS. thanks.

Shame. Unfortunately the app has fallen victim to greed like so many other developers in the past couple of years. If it wasn’t bad enough that they abused in-app purchases, then moved to the dreaded subscription model for a product/service that it doesn’t even make sense to have one for, they’ve been chipping away at features that have long been included, and putting them behind a paywall in order to try and strong arm you into getting a subscription. The app is now borderline useless unless you pay for a subscription, where as before you could edit a picture completely and only need to pay if you wanted more advanced features. It’s a really shameful and disgraceful act to see the greed of these companies always getting in the way of user experience. If you want to start charging more, ADD value, don’t remove it.

problematic functionality. Okay, okay, I got used to the new design and even got over the fact that some of the main features I previously used were taken away. I think the new perspective and cropping tools are an improvement. But the thing that is now making this app completely unusable for me is a new problem I've gotten no response from support - despite submitting several weeks ago. The app now, upon every single opening, says that “due to insufficient space, your recent edits will not be saved” and then reverts all of your edited photos back to their original form whenever you click on them. There is no way to undo this, or get your edits back. I have more than sufficient space on my phone, more, in fact, than when I used the previous version of this app, and more than when I started using the upgraded version (and did not have this problem at the beginning). This bug is making me search for other photo editing programs, which is frustrating, as I’ve been a longtime Polarr supporter.

You will never be able to cancel your membership once you pay. TERRIBLE!. I loved this app and software for so long. Recently it hasn’t let me download my photos when I know I have a pro account. I tried to trouble shoot myself and continued to hit dead ends. I contacted the support center and never received a response. Now I can only download one photo before it tells me to pay for the pro account (which I have for another 2 months). I decided I wanted to cancel my account and that is not working. Every link you click to cancel the account either doesn’t work or takes you back to support ticket where you have to enter in so much info and never receive a response from. Absolutely terrible customer service. Do not pay for anything on this app- you will not be able to ever receive a refund or cancel any service. You will also never receive a response from their customer support. Terrible app now!!!!!!

Polarr Lite = Cash Grab. I’m going to start by saying… I absolutely love Polarr. I have been a premium subscriber for a couple of years and I love it. However, now that money is tight and I had to trim the subscription fat, I switched to “Lite” because the description said it included “access to premium filters.” I thought this tier might save me some money. But it’s literally a cash grab. You can access premium filters but you can’t do anything with them. I tried to use the filters I made, but I can’t save the filtered image. I suggest not purchasing Lite. It’s a waste of money and now I’m stuck with it for an entire year. I think I’m going to switch to Lightroom. It felt like they lied just to sell a lower tier that doesn’t offer anything a free app could do. I would be happy if I could use my filters and save images but couldn’t adjust or create them because that would be a premium feature. Again. I love Polarr but this buisness model of leading the consumer on with misleading verbiage is why I’m writing this review and why I’m contemplating removing Polarr completely from my social media budget.

Best app I could find but... I have been using this app for a little over a year and everything has been perfect so far but recently I’ve started to notice a slight change or bug if you will. I click on the app and everything is fine when I edit a photo, I am a pro member, but when I click out and then back into that same photo, suddenly it’s super cropped to the point where there is barely anything to see. And it also will not let me save any filters I have created. Other times when I click into a photo I desire to edit, the screen goes black (sometimes it becomes white) and I have to restart the app. Please fix this bug and I will continue to use the app because it has become very frustrating. I rarely write reviews..

amazing app. i’ve been using polarr for 2 yrs now! the amount of suggestions polarr gives for you to create amazing filters is incredible because not a lot of filter creating apps have all these suggestions that polarr gives. especially the overlays tool, i really like that option because usually, you’d have to go to another app to place overlays. i also really love that polarr now has the protect filter because a lot of us filter creators were dealing with people stealing our filters and claiming them as their own. so now that they have this option, i use it all the time! i’d say the only option i wish polarr would add is a delete folder, where you had deleted filters from other creators you’ve saved and your own. i had an issue a few days ago, where i needed to use a filter, i couldn’t find it because i had deleted it a few days before that. it was very frustrating that i had deleted that filter without knowing so and there was no way i could get it back. but other than that, this app is amazing, and i really appreciate how polarr’s instagram account interacts with other filter users on instagram and how they have different challenges for people to participate in! it goes to show that they really care about their users!

trash now. all of polarrs features used to be completely free of charge, i’d never even see ads which is why i loved this app for photo editing. however, in recent years they’ve gotten more and more stingy in terms of money and have added SOO many ads to their app along with subscriptions with little to no updates with the actual features itself. i shouldn’t suddenly have to start paying for things i’ve used in the past, even my OWN filter presets i’ve made. i have loved this app and company, i have even been part of their research/major surveys they’ve done in the past with absolutely no personal gain and now it’s basically a slap in the face since i can’t even screenshot photos i’ve edited anymore. not to mention the pricing is insane for just some photo editing. highly disappointed in what they’ve become over the years, they’ve digressed as badly as other apps/websites who only now want monetary gain and don’t care whether if the product is good still as long as they can fool some people into buying it. upset i ever supported this company so heavily. don’t even see a reason to keep the app anymore.

Polaar. The number means to reset a picture of a vintage image. If you’re looking for something to use editing, use the Polaar “stable” to edit, iOS included, that its picture tools help your jpeg(?) file look like the original photo you saw in the viewfinder, this App is a really good answer, the best…! (Others are ‘also rans’) which I ever have known. Even tools allow testing various, different flows, called filters, including total Undo functions and undo in removing steps, indeed. I also had created a jpeg of a proper copy of a cover picture of a newspaper Sunday Magazine, from many years ago and agree totally that adjusting with Polaar app was the only way to go. Polaar was used in iOS mobile after I quickly took a good enough jpeg, Polaar let me do adjustments, allowing me too, to undo, any number for me, and recovered on the jpeg in color incredibly [image file jpeg capture of newspaper magazine simply produced w/DSLR) from a publication long before now becoming to too delicate set hands on.

great app but a few bugs. i’ve been using polarr for over a year now and it’s always served me well. i’d been putting off writing a review for polarr for a good amount of time now though because polarr itself is a great app, i just thought my problem would’ve been mentioned by other users and been fixed by now, but my problem still exists. the app itself is very easy to use and has TONS of features to use for pretty much every type of photo. my problem is that after editing and exporting maybe 6 photos at a time (individually instead of with the batch export feature), when i try to open another picture polarr either freezes and crashes or very tightly crops the photo (usually when there is a face in the picture). i don’t think it has to do with the hardware polarr is being running on. this has been happening to me for a few months now on my ipad pro and even recently on a new iphone.

New update set up isn’t that great.. I’ve used Polarr for a while and the set up was easy and efficient and didn’t get in the way of me seeing my project I was working on. But since the new update the set up had changed and it’s harder to see and navigate what I’m doing. The bar of items and things I can do has gotten bigger and when I try to make changes it zooms in on the picture defeating the process. All in all I don’t really care for them taking away some features but changing the layout was a mistake in my opinion, Inter of staying at the bottom making it easier to see, there are more things to tap to get what I want and it’s difficult to see the outcome because it gets in the way. Maybe in the next update can it be so you can choose the layout because this new one isn’t the best.

A PERSONAL FAVORITE. Polar photo editing app is awesome! Without even feting into the paid version you get a ton of amazing options, filters, effects and tools! Believe me , these are not limited to the Instagram or Facebook or editing photoshop copycats! Polar is professional grade in quality, user interface, appearance and detail. Appreciated the prompts and helper which you can hide if you don’t need or dislike . I found It tremendously helpful. It’s not the easiest app, so I wouldn’t necessarily suggest it to someone not accustomed to some version of photo shop or another editing apps, but with with the helper option you can figure it out and deliver pro -level edited photographs. I am probably going to bite the bullet and purchase the pro version . It’s that good!

Change it back now. I’m so happy to see that I am not the only one who is completely infuriated with the new update. Why would you completely change an entire app so that even experienced users are dumbfounded. I can’t for the life af me figure out the set up for the new way that overlays work, I cant even seem to apply an image in the style of a gradient like was able to do before. From 5 stars to 1, if could I’d give it none. You were a top rated app, why would you make such a move, that was dumber than dumb, at least have the courtesy to roll it out slowly. Not all at once. I had not known how much more useful this app was over my previous go to until the last few months. But once I really played around with it, it soon became my newest go to. I wish I had never updated. Also why is there not an easier way to delete my custom overlays, y’all didn’t bother to reconcile that situation. Who ever made this decision should be fired, or given a second chance to fix this mess that now takes up room on my phone. If something is not done soon, I will be requesting an entire refund 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ this is not the app I paid for. Idk what this is.

disappointing update. polarr used to be my all time fav editing app. it was so easy to navigate, included plenty of useful features, and was accessible to everyone. then without warning, it all changed. i have a couple issues. 1) it would constantly log me out? every time i used the app i’d have to log back into my account… 2) almost EVERYTHING now costs money. everything that used to be free i now have to pay for? even the most BASIC editing features. 3) so difficult to navigate. i literally don’t understand how the app works anymore. i hate having to see that i’m required to pay for something with every button i click. filters that used to be free now aren’t? and there’s a browsing feature, but you’re only limited to a number of filters you can have? or it glitches and leads me to different tabs and pages that i can’t understand. then you’re not even allowed to save certain filters you like unless you pay? not only is everything just confusing, but it relates back to my second issue; having to pay for EVERYTHING. i don’t know, but i miss the app before the update. mind you, i NEVER leave reviews unless it’s positive or absolutely infuriating…sucks that everything just seems to be about money now :/

My #1 photo editor. I had been playing around with so many photo editing apps hoping for something more than ready made filters and bottom basic crap. After years using photoshop in my school days, no app has even came close to satisfying me. Then I stumbled upon Polarr. FINALLY!!!! The first app to go beyond simple and actually gives various options in different ways. There’s just so many options, I haven’t even figured it all out yet. Like, creating your own filter!! I absolutely LOVE this app and can’t wait to see more to come from Polarr. Why I give 4 stars, there are a few snags here and there, but nothing major. Things like, heavy in to editing a photo and boom all black and the only way to get back is by exiting out of the app. Originally, I hated the window viewer for edges, but that recently has changed and is much better. In the beginning, the app was a bit confusing even with tutorials. Then as I started getting use to everything. Then, suddenly I couldn’t use any of my paid premium options and was told the app no longer existed. It was all pretty strange, then 2 weeks later it was back. I was so upset 😂 Anyways, I highly recommend Polarr to anyone, it’s the best photo editor your going to get, other then the super expensive ones.

New Update is Awful. Polarr was by far my favorite photo editing app in the market, and I was happy to upgrade to Pro. The UI design was intelligent and intuitive. I used the app multiple times a week to edit photos for a small business I work for. I truly hate this new update. I don’t understand why Polarr changed the UI so dramatically and to such a poor design. The new UI is now very similar to most interfaces I’ve seen in the marketplace (including the editing software in Apple Photos), which not only removes a key differentiator of Polarr, it also leaves it feeling clunky. Why would I use Polarr if the design is similar to what already exists in Apple installed software? Or similar to another app on the marketplace? Not only is the layout of the editing capabilities now more obstructive, you can’t even rotate the screen! It’s very annoying to edit all my photos in a vertical view, rather than landscape. Maybe I’m just missing something? It’s rare that I leave reviews, especially negative ones, but there honestly isn’t anything I like in the new update. I felt very loyal to Polarr and truly disappointed.

why i love polarr so much. polarr made me more of a creator by seeing how different filters and effects can alter photos and make them look a certain way which has inspired me to start creating filters myself, my favorite aspects are definitely the variety of things to do. polarrs style creation helps me create more content in the way that i can do so many things in the ways i want to, from adding overlays, brightening or darkening, adding more color/changing the color and being able to try new looks on photos, it really inspired me to create filters of my own that i can share with people. i use polarr for editing any pictures i use, like profile pictures and shared content, polarr is the best filter app i've ever used and one i will continue to use time and time on. i would absolutely recommend polarr to anyone looking to mess with the appearance of their photos, the only issue i've had so far was my photo going black after looking at too many filters, other than that everything is fantastic ^^

Used to be my favorite editing app. Polarr used to be my favorite editing app to use. It has lots of features that you can use and you can truly customize your photos as much as you like... If you pay of course. Now half of the app is stuck behind a paywall, and you have to pay for basic features that comes for free on almost any other editing app you can find. I was already on the verge of deleting Polarr as I've been disappointed numerous times with this app. The app crashes multiple times, it takes a while for it to even load one photo, and now a paywall! I even lost a whole account and never got it back no matter how many times I emailed the Polarr team for help. This app has disappointed me as well as many other users. I am done using this app. You're better off using another editing app that actually has free features. I sincerely hope they remove the paywalls and do something else instead. There are many different ways to monetize an app and this is not one of them.

Worse with every update. I’ve been using Polarr Pro for years now but with each new update it gets further and further away from the original app that was worth spending money on. First they remove functionality like the Spot Healing tool for no reason. Now they’ve put almost all new focus and development into Styles which in and of itself is fine, but the app is so unintuitive and buggy now that it isn’t even worth keeping around anymore. I can’t edit and save more than one photo in any one session without force closing and restarting, edits disappear and reappear at random, copying adjustments from one photo to another causes all of the previews in the photo selection screen to go haywire; really the list just goes on and on. It’s unfortunate that the app has become less about photo editing and more about preset-sharing but I could live around that if it would just work at a basic level and at this point it does not.

Please revert to the old UI!. I absolutely loved using this as a photo editor, it was incredibly convenient to use on the go to get professional edits that could honestly rival photoshop use on the desktop. However with this new update things are now just overly cluttered and make no sense. I loved using this exclusively to edit my photos from my DSLR that were transferred to my phone but now with the new update things are just super messy and cluttered to the point of not being able to use it anymore. The old UI was clean, very enjoyable to use, and extremely professional.. now it’s just a cluttered mess that looks like it’s trying to fit in with common photo editors. However, this isn’t a common photo editor, this is something used by people who understand photography and what it takes to edit their photos. So please revert to the previous UI, you’ll be doing thousands of us a favor so we can get back to doing what we love!

Nope, you ruined it.. LAST UPDATE BEFORE I DELETE: Now you can’t even save a photo without a subscription. It would be one thing if I hadn’t already *paid in full* for use of the app years ago, before they switched to a subscription model, and didn’t honor that purchase, which violates Apples TOS. App continues to get worse with every update. I’m finally fully done. MONTHS-LATER UPDATE: How could this possibly keep getting WORSE? They finally released some updates, did not fix the filter issues, did not fix the announcement window bug. And now, every time I open it, I get a “Not enough space” warning that forces me to clear my edit history. After only editing a few photos—with many, many GBs of storage left on my phone. ——— Strike 1: Charge a subscription after I had already paid for multiple things in the app. Strike 2: I pay for subscription, but still can’t get the same filters I already paid for and use on a daily basis back. Strike 3: I receive no response when I contact them via their website to ask if it’s possible to get the filters that have been a part of my daily workflow for years back. I can deal with changes to the UI. But taking away what I’ve already paid for and then offering no support for a paid service is just b.s. Also, what’s with the “Announcements” dialog box (with no announcements) that pops up EVERY time I open a photo, even after several updates?

I’m a bit confused?. I have a yearly subscription to Polarr that’s already paid through April of 2023, but now I need this new subscription to use the feature I already paid for? Do I get a refund for the time I already bought? If that’s the case not a problem, but a email explaining the changes to current paid subscribers would be nice. Not to mention it’s the shaky legality of this. I pretty sure your not allowed to just change payment plans that are still active and on a whim, but I’m not a lawyer. Regardless a emai explaining this would have gone a long way. Also this is the first time in the history of me using apps that I have felt the need to write a review!!! 😑

LOVE THIS APP!!!. I have been looking for a pro level photo editing program to use for all the photos I take as a travel blogger. I just was reluctant to jump on he lightroom bandwagon. After reading a ton of positive reviews about Polarr from photographers, I decided to give it a try. Within minutes I was hooked! It is such a powerful tool and the fact that you can use it across multiple platforms is HUGE! I initially had some trouble unlocking the pro features on my laptop that I paid for in the phone app. But within minutes of writing to support I got a response and within 24 hours they had fixed the kink. Can’t beat that! I’m so thrilled with this app and excited to master all of its amazing features!!!

Polarr is swag 😎. This app is so good. I’m still pretty new to it but from what I’ve seen it’s better then any other editing app I’ve used before. My favorite aspect is how user friendly it is! With other apps I’ve tried they were hard to understand and confusing but with Polarr it was easy to figure out and understand! Another aspect are the styles. I love how easy they are to share and use! It can make it to where it can change it from one color completely to another which is very hard to do on other apps. My last point id like to talk about is their discord server. I recently joined/got invited to it so I haven’t been able to chat much but from what I’ve seen it’s absolutely amazing! I never see discord servers of it to have such active and helpful staff! In all id say polarr has to be my favorite editing app and I’m excited to see what I can learn in the future to come <33

I’m a photographer and have been using for years. I started using this app for my photography when i was 15. I am now 23 and use it everyday. Photoshop is great, but it’s overly complex. This app is very user friendly and i find that i can do pretty much everything i need to do as a photographer in this app, so why use photoshop? It’s way cheaper and easier. If your starting out or if your a professional, you need this app. It will dramatically increase your workflow with its simplicity and user friendly design. It would take me hours to edit a group of photos in photoshop, and it will only take 30-45 mins in this app.

Don’t bother.. This app has declined incredibly and it’s not even worth its occult following anymore, I spent years on this app creating things for a following- now I can’t even use the filters I’ve been making and using for years without paying. Which I’m not , by the way. Why would I pay for something I used to be able to make for free? It’s extremely exploitative and has gone down the same money hungry rabbit hole picsart has. Invest in other programs people, I don’t know what but anything other than this. It’s stupid how I can have made something years ago and now be completely unable to use a single thing because of these premium features or whatever— I can’t even save a filter I made two years ago which I use on pretty much all of my public edits and that’s exploitative marketing. My review? It’s just another thing ruined by a paywall. Not getting my money.

Amazing!. I can understand the frustrations some people have had in the past. However, the app will always continue to evolve and improve, and with that comes the responsibility to learn how to use these new updates. I was really upset when all filters (other than the ones I pre saved and created before the subscription model started) required me to pay to use. But given it’s an app I used daily for several things, I was willing to pay the subscription fee. It’s worth it. I absolutely love the app, and haven’t found it much different or difficult to use than when I had discovered it two years ago. I think some people can’t withstand change. 🤷‍♀️ for a growing and powerful app, it’s no surprise to me that it would go from a pay once for access to subscription base. I still love it and will continue to use it! Though I would like to see a FAQ or Help page for laptop use, because I cannot use my upgraded account on my pc and nothing syncs over. However, I can sync and use my account across any mobile device. Which is perfectly fine, but I’d rather use on my laptop.

Frustrating (Will Reevaluate Later). I’ve been using this app for YEARS and have never had a real issue with it. For the past five days, when I’m choosing a filter (and adjusting it and so on) it’s fine. It’s when I’m saving the image that’s the problem. As soon as I hit “save copy” it blacks out the screen for a couple seconds, then the screen is completely white for a couple more seconds, and then it resets to “open photos” & “use existing photo” and it just keeps happening every time I try to save it. I’ve even gone into another app to save a different copy/change the size of it etc to see if that could be a solution but it happens regardless. Once I think I’ve fixed it on the one photo, I feel relieved, then it does the same exact thing for the next photo. I haven’t used Polarr in 24 hours, trying to see if it needed a break or something, but that did nothing. Today I see that there was an update, but even after updating it, it’s happening. I don’t know what to do.

What happened?. Why was the layout and the app itself redesigned? It was perfectly fine before where you could just scroll your fingers across and measure up to 100 or down to -100, simple yet useful and refreshing to make my pictures pop. Now it’s just plain and looks like you, no intention to offend or accuse, made it appear to look like the Darkroom app layout. It’s also glitchy my photos go blank when editing and only reappears when I click the before picture and never shows the picture I was in the midst of editing. In my opinion, the new things you’ve added are okay it would’ve been fine in the original layout and just as pleasing without the aesthetic to “just get it edited it doesn’t matter what it looks like so we made it all black” change. It’s also confusing, you hit adjust and flicker some changes and hit the check button and you’re like “huh? I have to edit all on the same tab?” it’s confusing having to remember I have to edit all of them on one tab itself that’s just sitting in a line above the adjusters instead of being able to hold down the adjusters and change it to what pleases you. Other than that it’s great.

Officially completely unusable for me. This has been my go to app for a long time. I had an editing process down and loved the results every time. Unfortunately, little by little, the tools I would always use became premium tools. It was annoying at first but I could still make use of what was left but had to go to other apps to finish what I couldn’t do on Polarr anymore. However, this last time I opened the app it seems like pretty much everything is premium now. From what I can tell even the simplest editing tools are unusable. There’s no reason for me to even stick around and I really have no desire to pay to get any of it back. It’s worthless now. I also don’t ever feel compelled to leave app reviews but witnessing polarr’s transformation to the point of unusability for me has been pretty disappointing.

Pretty Good. The features in this app are pretty great, actually- everything is in one place which is very practical. My only major annoyance is that you only get one free export a day without upgrading. The cost to upgrade is fairly reasonable, especially for what the app is- but I’d like it if we could export more than one picture a day with the free version. Even if it were like 3 a day, or maybe unlimited exports but without the option of choosing if it is saved as a png/jpeg/the quality etc. Other than that, you can get around just fine without upgrading and not feel terribly frustrated. It’s nice that the app doesn’t accost you demanding you upgrade every time you open it. Over all a pretty capable and easy to navigate photo editor.

My Go To Editing App!. Polarr has made me more of a creator considering their thousands of filters and adjustments available to use. I can just let my mind roam free without thinking of what the end will look like. Usually, in the end the pictures always look beautiful. It has introduced me to different adjustments i was never aware of. My favorite aspects throughout the app most likely would have been the filters, and the creators within the app. They make filters almost daily for our use. It’s just awesome! Using others’ filters & my own help me create more content by letting me just create the image I have in my mind. If I have a photo and think there should me more of a certain hue or sharpness, I’ll make a filter of it! And if I can’t get what I’m looking for, I search the discover tab! Overall, Polarr is just an AWESOME way to express yourself and a unique way to figure out your own style and create inspiring photos!

Excellent app, BUT.... Just revisited Polarr after several years--some great improvements! Love the brush and the auto-selection features, especially. However, I've been begging for years: Please change it back to landscape mode!! (Or make an iPad-exclusive version). Do you know how inconvenient it is to edit photos on a big iPad Pro with attached keyboard turned sideways? Try it, developers--it's ridiculous! This is supposedly a professional editing app, not juvenile Instagram filters. Also, I do not appreciate the social junk attached (I just ignore it). This also knocks it down a notch from being a professional program. Other than those two gripes, it's great! I purchased Polarr a long time ago; I'm both pleased and disappointed with the directions it has taken over the years.

Best editing app yet!. I’ve tried and tested many editing apps, and since I don’t use the premium version, many of them weren’t good. The other apps were just so bad, the picture ended up looking overly saturated and super cheesy. The only way you could have edited well on those apps are if you used the premium feature, and they were expensive! After testing many apps and almost giving up, I found Polarr. The editing actually looks natural and pretty and the functions and tools are really easy to use. Ultimately, my pictures ended up looks beautiful! The only request or frustration I have with this app is that there is no home screen so the only pages you have is the photo you are editing, which bothers me a little. But in terms of the editing quality, this app is perfect for me!

Polarr has helped me grow.. I have used polarr for years now. I love the way I can creatively express myself with ease. Being able to share and create filters, and use others filters is such a great idea! If you can't make a filter that fits your picture correctly, there are thousands of creators who have created filters that will fit! Not to mention, you can easily take inspiration from other creator's filters to help create your own filters. There are so many options that there is no need to completely copy a filter. Even changing one thing may have a drastic difference. I love polarr and will not be leaving it anytime soon, if I ever leave at all!

Diminishing creativity and passion in favor of profits. I know rating it so high seems counterintuitive but I’m online doing this so it gets seen easier. Please change it back. The subscription is terrible and is screwing over the entire user base. Nobody likes this, nobody wants this. It is screwing over the passion and joy of art and creativity in favor of corporate profit and greed. I use Polarr for many things such as editing my artwork, editing sketches, editing, and many other creative outlets. This not only screws the user base over but will screw you guys over in the process. And even IF some of the profit goes to creator who make filters in the creator fund it doesn’t change the fact that many people aren’t privileged enough to afford a subscription. Most of the user base from my experience are teens, and most teens can’t afford some subscription.

Gone Downhill, No Longer Worth It. I used to really love Polarr, I used it for years. Now, it’s clear that it has just become a money grab. I didn’t mind the stupid rule about only having 3 saved filters since I still had access to the ones I’d previously saved, it just meant I couldn’t save anymore. Now you’ve taken away access to previously saved filters too, even those that aren’t premium and were created by others. Literally what was the reason? To push a subscription? There are tons of free apps I can use for filters, and at this point I’d be better off paying for photoshop to do other things. There’s nothing special about this app to need a subscription for it, it would be a waste of time and money. It was better off when the developers actually cared about the users more than the money. For their sake, I hope it doesn’t tank.

Decent App, But Pay to Use.. I love this app. I've been using it for years to edit for a variety of reasons, to be creative and help filter cover photos for my stories. However, I feel if you're going to continously price everything, make it to where people can purchase it for one time for full access. A few years back, everything about it was free with maybe one or two premium features you could buy with a subscription for like $3/$4 a month. No biggie. Well, as time has gone on, you've made it only possible to get more than 1 filter by purchasing and throwing $10/month+ away. Just to edit? Picsart is already doing that too. And Now I have to upgrade my plan to even get EDIT the filter if it's not to my fitting on a picture? Ridiculous. For free, all you get: 3 filters. That's it. If you've saved more than 3 filters while it was free, you no longer have access to ANY of them until you buy a subscription. The only thing you can do is crop, but even then, it's only free crop. You can't manually select what size you want, it's either free crop or what polarr offers. Honestly better off using Adobe Photoshop at this point. I may never use this app again

used to be great. Used this app for years and it was my favorite. I recommended it to everyone and it was genuinely so unique and had some of my favorite filters. Then y’all limited some of the editing features—even things you can do on THE IPHONE PHOTOS APP. Why would anyone pay for that?? Then you stopped letting people save new filters without paying. Okay, that just limits the time people spend on your app since they’re restricted to the ones they’ve saved. I was annoyed but kept the app since I had saved my favorite filters. Now, you can’t even access your saved filters. Unbelievable. The owners of this app are greedy and have no respect for the people who have used this app forever. I hope they can do some self reflection because the app is basically unusable now. Oh, and you have to watch ads to save photos. It just gets worse and worse.

what happened. 😐. seriously ? why would you make the limit of filters 3 ?? you do know this can make people STOP using YOUR app ? annoying things like this makes people upset at the fact that they can't have good things and your app was one of those good things. this update of the filters having a limit of only 3 is so unnecessary. people will only get angry and delete this app & write bad reviews like these instead of just buying the membership. its a waste of money especially since its only for a bit of time. at least change it back to make it a good app again, otherwise people will just delete it and write bad reviews like this

Lowers Photo Quality. I really do love this app. I’ve been using it for quite some time now and i have to say it’s super easy to use and it’s honestly so different from other editing apps like VSCO or Afterlight, etc. However i find that when saving my edit to my camera role, it lowers the quality of the photo, which is very disappointing since the edit looks so amazing prior to saving it. It’s like i get a final result I’m happy with and when i save it and check the photo just saved, the quality is not as good as shown on the app itself. Because of this i started to use other editing apps, none of which allow me to create edits just like this app does. So please fix this as i really want to have good quality photos!!

I miss when it was free. You can’t do anything without spending money or watching an ad. I had the app for a while before it updated to having a premium version. I had so many filters that I created and had saved. But now I can’t even use my own filters. You have to pay for premium if you want to use the majority of the app's features, and every time you save a photo you have to watch a 30-second ad. It’s frustrating how much money they want you to pay for how little you’re getting, I’d rather spend a one-time price for the app. I understand app developers have to make their money, But this is not the kind of app I expected to have to pay a significant monthly fee for. Don’t get me wrong; It’s a good app. But it’s only worth it if you can afford it.

Great results but a few bugs. For the actually editing, I would give this 5 stars. I also appreciate their useful tutorials and the many thoughtful touches that went into the app design (although the UI is rather confusing at first, once you figure out the guiding organization, it makes sense). The cloning/healing feature is the only one I really did not like in terms of how it's implemented. Way too fidgety; no apparent way to deal with larger areas. Other apps do a much better job. The two-hour trial of the pro version has almost persuaded me to scrounge up the $20, though it also introduced some concerns. Using more than one shape caused stability problems. It seems you can't use different colors for added shapes. Liquify didn't perform as well as I hoped, either. All in all, though, the actual photo-editing results were superior to what I've been able to achieve in the numerous other apps I've tried.

Used to love, but the new update messed everything up.. I’ve been using Polarr since late 2016, and for the most part it’s been pretty great, with a few bugs in between and issues with the quality, but the problems were fixed quite quickly. I purchased Polarr Pro’s selective adjustments in around 2017 and it worked fine, but recently with the new Polarr SO many new issues have risen. The first time I updated it to the new Polarr, it would not let me save any of my selective adjustments. Gradient, color masks, none of them would save. Sometimes it would crash, other times it wouldn’t even save as the filter I had filtered it as, but instead another filter I had previously made?? Recently, a few issues have been fixed but new problems have started. Everything including gradient and radial all work with my purchases but when I add the color scale to a color mask, it doesn’t save. The color mask is still there, but the actual color scale is zero. Please fix these issues, or bring back the old Polarr and work on the new one on the side. So many new issues that me and quite a few of my friends who have been using it for a long time are giving up on it.

Love the options but stop the upgrade ads!!. I really enjoyed using this app, it’s actually become my go-to editing app along side one other. I don’t even use the Pro features and my pics look awesome. But now I can’t even save my non-pro image without an ad coming up for me to either “Upgrade” or “Try Pro Features”. To get out of the ad (because there is no “X” button) I click “Upgrade” and it takes me to a page with options and prices. I can then click “X” out of that, but when I try to save my picture again it tells me I’m using Pro features and I cannot save the image without upgrading. It was a little annoying at first but now I legit cannot save ANYTHING. And I haven’t used a single Pro feature!! I’m so annoyed and irritated. I just want to use this app the way it’s supposed to be used, but the “Upgrade” ad keeps messing it up!

update is just bad. i’ve used polarr for a while and it was my favorite app for filters when i can’t use psd, but this update is terrible. the design is not only a sore on the eye because it looks like every other editing app now, but it takes more steps to do simplest tasks. i don’t want to have to open a new tab EVERY time i want to use a different tool. i also can’t pinch the image to make it smaller for a better viewpoint, which is upsetting. and back to the new style visually, not being able to change the color of the background is highly problematic seeing as most of my content is black and i can’t differentiate the background from my photos, as well as the fact that i have other difficulties using the app with the background being black. honestly, don’t even try to fix the update with a new one, just go back to how it used to be. and stop throwing the “upgrade to pro” in our faces every time we open at app, it’s annoying and i’m on the verge of deleting the app—and so are all of my editor friends who use it.

Pricing has me concerned. The ubiquity of the new pricing model has me a bit concerned. Before subscriptions, you could at most pay $4.99 outright for an app like this. Now we are asked to rent the app $36 a year or $24 a year if you pay for a year. Even if you paid 5 in-app purchases for $1.99 when using the earlier model, you are still only spending $15 for owning the app out-right. If you plan to use the app for 3 years, you pay $72 to rent. That is 5 times the price and we are still only borrowing it. This subscription model is hard enough with movies and music, but to use this model for every app you purchase? I like trying different apps to see what developers are capable of offering. If I downloaded 30 apps a year using the subscription model, I can be expected to pay $720 a year - just to rent the apps. And that’s not including Mac apps. This is unadulterated greed. It’s a shame because this is a nice app and developers deserve to make a living, but not like this. Unfortunately, I now have to be very selective and I choose not to pay another subscription fee for filters. Maybe Apple’s next conference should be WWCC, a customer’s conference.

Actually, I would say this is a BIG improvement. Edit: Oct. 3, 2020 No way to shut off announcement nag screen?? Seems to never go away and no option to remove sadly. Everybody seems to hate the new update, but actually, I would say this is a BIG improvement from the previous version. (ONLY REAL BUMMER IS: Batch Save is a “premium feature now”) Far as I can tell everything is still there in the free non-subscription version worth is salt and the new additional tools and tool finding layout is a huge benefit for expediting the editing process so I don’t see the issue. Most people just hate change once their used to something but I feel this new update adds more value to the previous version so I’m all for it. — nice work guys 👏🏻

The most complete photo editor. With a very intuitive interface.. The only set of tools to improve images.

First class editing experience. I increasingly found myself turning to Polarr for photo editing on iOS, to the point that it is now all I use. It’s intelligently designed for quick easy editing, but with impressive depth. I thought the Face editing feature was a bit of a gimmick, for instance, but have discovered that you don’t have to use it to make your subjects look like aliens. A quick subtle brightening of the eyes, some colour in the lips, and you have an image that looks a bit closer to the person you were trying to capture. There are other delights. The range of masks, and the ease of applying them. The range of export options, and the ease of applying them. The filter selection system, which is a big improvement on VSCOcam. (That said, I’d like to be able to use my collection of VSCO filters in Polarr. Not always better, just different.) Also, sharing from the Photos editing interface. And the fact that on the iPhone, I can do some really in-depth editing just with one hand. I’d like some cloud-based sharing of edited images between the iOS and Mac apps, and some more B&W filters, but these are minor things. This is carefully crafted software, well worth supporting. Thanks for your fine work.

Polarr Premium 👎🏼. You can’t even save a picture without watching an ad, are you serious?! Ads don’t even load either so I just can’t save anything, making the app completely useless. I’ll be finding another filter app because this is ridiculous.

Astounding. I very rarely write reviews, but this app is simply brilliant. Photos from my phone are quite poor so to be able to pick them up with such a detailed app is so refreshing to see. Thankyou.

the app is ruined.. I have used this app for YEARS, 3-4 I think. I recommend it to literally everyone but certainly will not anymore. The app is almost unusable now, given that everything is behind a paywall. It would be understandable if that were the case for a few truly premium features like overlays, but alas, it isn’t. It’s a shame because this app is so convenient, but given there are many FREE and not so AD-PLAGUED alternatives out there, I have no doubt I’ll find s fantastic alternative.

This app is amazing.. First of all, I’d like to mention how crazy this app is. It just has soooo much !! And it’s mostly free. As a creator who has a lot of surrounding colour coding and making my feeds aesthetic - Polarr helps so much with that. And it’s just so easy to use and so friendly in the way everything functions. The curves, saturations and hues are just so wonderfully easy to work around and it’s easily one of my favourite features to work with considering with how much the app offers. I also adore the community and how easy it is to get in touch with other creators, make friends and just being able to admire and use other peoples talent is just cool. Making filters and using other creators filters is simply amazing as it helps me to get myself to out there to make and work with different styles and ways to make my work pop and get exposure to new experiences Not only that their app for filtering videos is an absolute game changer !!! Easily 10/10

Pls bring spot removal back!!!!. Polarr has always been my fav photo editor on iPhone. But why did you remove this really useful and powerful feature🥲 And I haven’t found any other feature as a substitution. I still use other features but feel it’s such a pity that you removed spot removal

Powerful and friendly. This app is insane! Super intuitive and effective. There are plenty of present filters to use, and you can make your own custom presets. The developers of this app have been generous with the free features vs what you get if you pay for the pro features. Thanks guys!

Highly customised for phone. Easy to use. Really like object masks and amount of tweaks and controls it offers. Also five stars for settings copy and paste feature. Not really useful filters in demo mode. However has lot of functionality in demo mode even. Pls don’t take it back. I would anyways go for paid version eventually, if this offers one time purchase.

I’m sad. I really like the old layout on iOS, it’s still the old one on Mac but would like an option to use the old layout on iOS as well. It was really nice and easy to navigate.

App keeps crashing!. Great app, downloaded it today and for most of day it was working perfectly. Now I can’t even use it as it keeps freezing and just crashes!

Some problems. I love this app, because not many apps will let you save a photo without a logo on it but (and I’m not sure if this is my phones fault) every time I open the app, my phone gets so hot that I have to edit a photo in 2 minute intervals because I would burn my hands. Another problem I have is that sometimes the app will close half way through and I will loose the photo.

The app became awful!. I’ve been a user of Polarr app for very long time and several years, and i’m absolutely disappointed by what this app turned into! Just to save A PHOTO you have to WATCH A 30 SECONDS APP!! And for me it doesn’t even let me save anything as i don’t even get any ads! I’m very unsatisfied. By making these Premium upgrades, you ruined your app. Return good polarr without these awful features, and then i’ll give you a solid 5-star, as the app is good overall, if not the Premium features.

Spot Removal?. Seems like if the app cannot recognise any faces then it’s greyed out to do any kind of spot removal work... Have I missed something? Because I swear we used to be able to do this. Now unless the face icon isn’t greyed out - there’s no way to do it..?

Honestly.... I’ve used Polarr since last year and it is a great app to edit and enhance edits with the filters and other tools. however, it always crashes. i don’t see the point of having a good app if it can’t be utilised because it continuously crashes. please, i would like this problem to be fixed.

amazing, one bug. this app is amazing, i use it all the time and i love it. not sure if this is just me, but it keeps telling me to “clear my editing history” then it will say zero editing history, but keep telling me there’s no room. it also seems to crash on me a lot. i’m really hoping this gets fixed in the future so i can continue using it

Hit and miss. The filters in the app are amazing, but it’s so glitchy. Being asked to try the gradient tool after every second action, blurring photos and zooming in on photos all happen on a regular basis. The app will often freeze and you have to restart to get a response. I really do hope you can finally find a solution to these problems, an update will help for a bit but the glitches soon return. Overall it’s a good app but these continuous problems really bring it down.

Absolutely amazing! But.. I enjoy this app very much but my one request is that you could use filters but add a video option, I would like to see a video option where I can add filters and my fav filters, other then that, great app

Great for on the go edits, but…. Have been an original purchased/owner/user since 1st released, and kept this software/app on all my devices, inc. my Windows laptop. However, this needs to be updated, so it can be used on larger iPads, 12.9" so it can be used in LANDSCAPE orientation for ease of use. Turning the iPad Pro 12.9 into portrait orientation is really no fun. Come on Polarr, don’t just be for the average phone/portrait users.

The best free editing app out there. I’ve always wanted a good editing app that’s free and easy to use, stumbled across Polarr and now live buy it..... definitely recommend giving it a try!

Used to be one of my favourites. Polarr was definitely an app that I used whenever I edited a picture for instagram. The new update has ruined it for me. It’s confusing and you have to purchase the filters. I now use other apps such as VSCO :)

Polarr. A good app with great features, not sure if it worth the subscription as I can get Adobe Lightroom for the same price

Minor bugs but overall great. I’ve been using this since I was a teenager. Perfect app for me. Only some buggy errors with purple filters. I’m not sure about how quick the developer fixes these issues.

Fantastic app but needs fixing. I have been loving this app for quite some time now, But since the recent update I cannot use pro features although I am a monthly subscriber, please fix, thanks

The app is good but. I have used most of the editing apps in the market, from free to paid. This app is very good, it has almost all the features to make the photos stand out in an easy steps. But....... it crashes a lot. Every time I edit a photo, it freezes.

Glitchy. Not worth it. Terrible. very disappointed in this app so coming here to vent my anger. i’ve never had a successful editing session in which i didn’t have trouble with either the mobile or desktop app glitching out, deleting my edits, shutting down, refusing to save or just generally not functioning properly. i even bought a full membership in hope that it would improve but alas no. not to mention the filters are so unattractive and really not worth using. will be using better alternatives from now on like vsco and lightroom and i suggest everyone else does the same. have a nice day.

nice filters. It’s a great app but it would be way better if you could use filters on videos too

Greed. Have been using this app since 2018 and unfortunately all the toolsI I used mostly used are now behind a paywall and require a monthly subscription. Shame guess I’ll have to find another app similar :(

Fault with update automatically goes to Pro after you close the app. The update defaults to PRO after closing app in Express. I updated this app and it somehow put me into Pro mode , and this is why I could not do any thing till I payed EXTRA money . So I deleted it . So I installed it again and it loaded into the Basic mode and it now lets me us it the way it was before the update. But still goes back to Pro mode. After closing and when I go back in it’s in Pro mode again .

THIS IS ANNOYING. every time I open the app, I select a photo go into choosing a filter, to customs and the app crashes back to ‘select a photo’ but I can’t choose the same photo. Choose a new one and the app completely crashes down. I’ve logged in again, deleted the app, left it alone for a few hours-days and even shut off my iPad and restarted it. Nothing works! This even happened before the new updates! OH BTW! I CANT SEEM TO SAVE ANY FILTERS AND CONSTANTLY MY FILTERS ARE ALL DELETED! URGH!

Horrible. It used to be a great app but now there’s a limit on the amount of filters and you have to watch ads to do everything, like saving the photo. I liked this app because it was convenient but now it’s just a waste of time.

amazing, it’s free!. You have a choice of different filters and and cropping your photos and if your Face is in it, you can smoothen it and render it. Rlly convenient !!!!!

Greatly Recommend. It’s a really good photoshop app i use it on my macbook too. I think a brushing tool on the phone app would be nice, also to be able to edit face and makeup. 👍🏽

Dumb now. Thai used to be my favourite app but now you have to pay for about everything, I can’t even use the old filters I had liked and saved because I have to pay when I was able to use them before and you’d only get a limited amount of filters that you could like before it said you’d have to remove some but this is just scamming people atp, your app is great don’t get me wrong but this pay wall is ridiculous!!!!

filter problem. Polarr has been an amazing app for me to use because of the filters! I sometimes import filters that other people make but i have this problem where sometimes I import a filter but it wont let me import it. It doesnt say anything and I dont think i reached the max numbers of filters. Can you fix this please Thank You

Has-been. This app used to be my go-to for all photo editing, but since recent updates it is not as easy to use and they have removed some key features, eg healing/spot corrections, which is one of the reasons I started using this app in the first place. Definitely considering unsubscribing.

HELP. I just downloaded it because I’ve only just found out about it’s really cool filters, which I desperately want. But every time I press “edit” the screen goes black then I have to exit the app. This never stops. Got a suggestion as to what I can do? 😕

Used to be good. The app used to be amazing. Now, every single edit for a photo requires you to watch a full ad. Worst of all, sometimes after watching an ad, a bug appears which doesn’t let you save the photo still and you have to rewatch one. It has become such a waste of time using this app.

Don’t recommend this app anymore. Okay so the new update destroyed everything. You could save as many filters as you wanted to before but now you have to pay to save more than 3 filters. What’s the use of this app anymore when you can’t save your favorite filters. This used to be my favorite app until this update. I don’t know why the creators decided to do this but I am going to say this very politely this is one of the worst updates ever. Thanks you.

Polarr is so good !!. Polarr is very good for me because I have a fan page and do edits so I can use the filters to have themes plus it’s really easy to use 😌

Crashes since update. Won’t open after update.. love the app

Please fix. I’ve been loving this app until the latest update. Ever since the latest update I haven’t been able to use the “overlay” feature. Every time I try using it, the app freezes & then crashes.

better than any other editing app. honestly when i look at peoples pictures i cringe knowing that theyre not using polar and using pre-made filters that look corny. polar letting me make my own filters is something i never regretted and i will never go back to using premade filters

One of my favourite apps (sort of). I’m a photo editor on Instagram, I’d all sorts of quote and photo edits with tv show characters, and this app has been really helpful for that to use filters, and make my own. Though I’m not such a big fan of the new update, it will probably just take some time getting used to. And on the old version you could use a light mode, which you can’t anymore. It’s not such a big deal I just prefer the white over black 🤷🏼‍♀️

Subscription. I paid for all tools and filters, and now you’ve got the Pro Mode and asking for subscription. Sorry but I have all those pro mode functions in my photoshop and I don’t need those functions in my pro. Why should I pay for those things I don’t even use? And now I can use Polarr only on my phone because pro mode polarr only have standard filters without subscription. Disappointed.

so so disappointed. i’ve been using this app for a couple years now and have LOVED IT, i recently updated my app only to find most of the features are locked under premium?? things as simple as just adjusting the image in a means of lighting, grain, colour, the basics. and you want me to pay for that when it was all free originally? no thanks

Some suggestions :). Polarr is a really good app, I just think that there should be an option so that the filters could also be added in videos. That’s all but besides from that I really love the app.

Constantly crashing. I’ve been using the app for ages and now the crashing is getting worse and worse, I cant even open a photo without the app crashing

Don’t like it anymore. I use to love this app was worth downloading but with the new update I feel so out of place and it’s annoying! On the old version you were able to use face detector on a photo that didn’t have a face and still smooth out areas. On this version it will not let you. There’s also a big blue message in the way of the photo and some of the tools so I can see what I’m doing!!! I’m not happy

You guys ruined this so bad. I have been using this app since it was 100% free and slowly slowly you have made everything premium. I understand you need to make money (at first) but then is practically all premium to the point of being useless. And honestly it was an amazing app for being free but not that great for a subscription one.

Late stage capitalism will end us all. I’ve had polar for quite some time, around 4+ years. Seeing the features I was once able to use for free (like saving ???) slowly become monetized, has reminded me of how near the end is. Very disappointing, not at all surprising.

Unprofessional. So unprofessional of you guys to literally make us have to pay to add filters?? AND WHAT? MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A NETFLIX SUBSCRIPTION?????

unusable. Fell off

Horrible glitchy.. I paid for the full version of this to use for some projects at work and it is HORRIBLY glitchy. I’m talking, I open the app and work for not even 30 seconds (not an exaggeration) and the app freezes, the only way to fix it is close and reopen the app. Then, it happens again. The app has potential but it’s so ridiculously glitchy it’s not worth it. Edit: I’ve emailed MULTIPLE times. I have sent at least 4 emails to that address in the last 3 weeks and all I’ve gotten is one response saying you’re aware of the glitch. Great.

awful. it’s actually ridiculous how u can’t do anything on this app without needing the premium. it’s a money grab! this app used to be great now it’s trash.

Way to kill your app…. I LOVED Polarr. It was the best photo editing app… and then you guys introduced a premium mode that took away half of what was previously free. The app is virtually pointless now since it’s now just like the built-in photos app. Extremely disappointed.

Used be cool. Now they only want money

starblvdz. i overall like the app but its very glitchy and when i try to download the image it makes me watch like 3 ads and it does not download it so i have to watch another 3 ads again

no longer useable. you literally can’t use this app without paying now. used to be great - instant delete now

Worst update ever. I used to love love love this app, but the update is so disgusting, the design...everything is wrong and much harder than it used to be.

Back to VSCO. Recent update makes it so you can only export 1 photo a day on the free version. Forcing you to pay.

Another sub rip off. So what I already paid for has now been moved into a subscription. Tired of this sub garbage so no thanks - there are better apps out there that don’t require a sub just to get masking. I compared the “Free” vs “Pro” sub and there is nothing you get for a sub that makes it worth the price. One more subscription app that just isn’t worth paying a monthly fee for functionality you can get elsewhere.

Seriously ?. We used to be able to download and not have to pay just to save photos. I make filters that I can’t even use. 🧍‍♀️ It would be much appreciated if we could make downloading free. It’s really not fair.

... I've used this app for some time now. they literally paywalled the exact feature that made me download this app. I can't use saved filters that I saved. like seriously.. just how hungry are they for money, the worst part is, most of the useful settings are like also paywalled.. ugh

Useless unless you pay. Used to be my favourite editing app… now it won’t even let me export without paying. Why not just run ads if you’re so desperate for money?

ugh. love this app but this weird huge white circle sometimes shows up when i apply it to my pictures. it’s so annoying fix it please

Blank screen. Since I updated it, when I open the app, it just goes on blank screen and mostly when I open an image, it goes on blank screen *sighs*

Love it... when it works.. I have been a long time subscriber of Polarr, and think it is an amazing app for editing and creating filters but for the past two months, I can only use it for about 15 seconds before it freezes and crashes. Contacted support multiple times. The most recent update actually helped for about a day. Now it’s back to doing what it did before. I am forced to cancel my subscription.

Too greedy, not even that good. This was a good app, but now its asking us to download premium because its popular and you want to gain more money? The fact that we have to watch an ad every single export, is a big waist of time. Your app sucks, I recommend Prequel better.🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

What if I don’t want premium?. I’m always afraid to update this app. There’s always a feature that was previously free that becomes premium, and it’s unfortunate, because it interrupts all of my previous filters. It’s not a bad app, though.

Saving one photo a day? Ridiculous.. i love this app but, the fact i’m only able to save one photo a day now is ridiculous. i’ve been a loyal user of this app for years now. the newer updates are complete garbage. you’re making it completely unuseable unless i spend thirty bucks. i understand you want to make money but, making the users unhappy isn’t going to help with that.

Love it. Amazing filters

HORRIBLE!. This app used to be incredible! You used to be able to apply filters to anything you wanted and now all they want is your money. DON’T DOWNLOAD!!! Not worth it anymore. What a disgrace this company made this app into. Shame on ya’ll.

Find another app lol. Somehow made the app virtually unusable unless you pay. How was this allowed? This update is horrible.

Have always loved this app.. Recently I have updated the app and let me tell you I shouldn’t have. I’ve been using Polarr since about 2015 Now I have to pay to save photos with the filters I found from 2016. I get that you need to make money but come on. Not to mention anytime I want to use the app it signs me out and it’s a whole system every single time.

Worthless now.. I used to use this app on a constant basis but now all the free filters require you to upgrade to a paid account. Basically, it’s become a cash grab. Uninstalled. So disappointed in your greed.

Sigh. Ads to save the damn photo that’s just annoying

money hungry beasts. nothing fills me with more dread than seeing a polarr update. every single time, without fail, has there been another useless paywall added to try and force people to pay for these stupid filters. NO ONE is getting this app for any reason other than to add filters that they have saved??? why would you paywall the single feature that everyone enjoys using. worthless app. worthless developers. put ads on it if you’re so desperate for money.

Gotta check each filter individually. This app keeps getting worse. I used to be able to see thumbnail previews of the filters from all available, but now I have to view them all individually. Not great if you’re looking for a style. A serious waste of time.

It’s good but it’s not working offline. Whenever I go to make a photo without internet it always crashes when I select a photo only offline but when I’m online it works perfectly fine but the app is supposed to work offline too please fix this bug I love this app so much

App freezes. I haven’t been able to edit a single photo yet since the app freezes then crashes on me

The new UI is a mess.. I have used this app for the past couple of years and pay the yearly subscription. Unfortunately the new UI forces me to go through three splash screens everytime I open it. I just want the app for editing and would like to turn off the promotional screens and what ever else that has nothing to do with the actual editing suite. I am dropping this app from my go to photo apps until the developers clean up the mess they have created.

Are you serious?. Is changing the colour of text really something that you want to make premium?

Ruined by Subscription. Another great app ruined by a subscription. Give a one time payment option.

Scam / hard to use. I said no to a purchase but brought up the App Store pay thing and since I have my fingerprint instead of a code automatically bought it and is not letting me cancel the subscription. Also very hard to use and makes no sense 0/5 if I could

Amazing App. Best App with powerful functions to edit photos!

Why are a lot of the free tools now premium ?. I have used this app for years and I have loved it so much for the great quality. I’m a student who doesn’t have the money to throw at an app I use for my photos. And this recent update that makes almost every tool a premium one just absolutely turned me off from your app. I’m sorry but you have turned into such a money grabbing app. Sorry to say but I do not like your product anymore.

Disappointed. The filters I have saved are supposed to be free, it’s frustrating that we have to pay for the filters that were already saved! I expect this to be fixed soon!

was good... now asking me to pay??. This was my go-to app for editing photos, now it’s asking for me to pay for a subscription to save my photos, even though I never had to in the past. looks like it’s back to VSCO for me

I hate it. Ever since I paid good money for the full version, the app has been absolute garbage. There are so many glitches that it’s just unusable. I can’t make new filters, all my filters are blurry, nothing works on it. I can’t believe I wasted money on this.

Rev. Great app

Subscription? I don’t think so.. Just let people buy your app. Lame.

I’ve tried several apps, this one is the best.. App for photography is really based on personal needs. Personally I am not a professional photographer like those in National Geography magazines. Photoshoot is just my hobby and learn over time with my NIKON F4, NIKON D90 and now my iPhone 7. I always edit most photo to correct some lightning, noises and HDR (manually). Adobe Lightroom is my favourite on my desktop PC/MAC but these days, I am mobile and I don’t really spend as much time sitting at home edit photo. I need something on the go, there is Adobe Lightroom app on iOS but I really do not feel and justify enough to pay $10 USD monthly subscription. It sucks Adobe kill of all the standalone applications. Polarr is my saviour, $30 USD unlock all on iOS app sounds expensive but it is still better than paying monthly or a insane triple digits price applications. I know they can do so much more than a $30 app but again like I said at the beginning, base on what I need. Polarr is fantastic, works well with my workspace NIKON SD card lightning dongle import to my iPhone 7 then edit on Polarr. For the moment JPG mode is the only way until Polarr improve support on NEF RAW files. I’ve read up some review, not a cash cow app. It is buy what you need and what you get. You can pay for all tools except filters if you never going to use filters since you can do them manually with the tools. This is options for people, you are not forced to pay full $30 unlock all price unless you want to support the dev.

User interface doesn’t allow free tools. So this is why people keep saying that they can’t use this app for free. I open a photo, apply a free filter, so far so good. Then if I want to adjust any of the free tools (i.e. exposure, saturation, brightness) the pop up asks me if I want to try the radial / gradient masking of the effects, which are pro tools. There’s no way to exit this pop up unless you click ‘try pro tools’ or ‘upgrade’. I click either just to close and nothing really happens- it doesnt show me a radial tool and you can just close the payment page. It just goes back to where I was editing. But for some reason, it thinks I’m using pro effects even though I’m not using any of them (all of their values are 0) and won’t let me export the photo because you only get 1 pro effect export. This is probably why people are saying there’s no free way to enjoy this app. Stop telling people that we are confused and please fix this UX dead-end that makes people confused. If its this glitchy, it doesn’t convince me to even give pro app a try. It’s a bummer because the editing on this app is superior to VSCO- even free default filters are tons better.

Absolute garbage. Used to love polarr but now ur telling me that the entire app is unusable unless I pay for premium? haha no thanks. What a major rip-off.

Cant recommend it more. Best editing app out there, been using it for years. Wide range of options, ability to manually create effects you want as well as hundreds of quality filters

Gray app. This is a great app for people who have the slightest clue about photo editing. It is easy to use ! Direct and incredible !!

Subscription? Really?. I loved using this app and I didn’t really mind the subscription option because I could still use the app as long as I didn’t use any pro features. But now, even though I’m not using any pro features, I cannot save any photos unless I use the subscription method. Are you serious with that? I would honestly much rather pay to buy the app instead of using a subscription. I’m gonna find another app. It’s honestly not worth it.

why the sudden change?. i’ve been using polarr for a while now and i’ve never had to worry about paying to use filters but today when i went to edit my photo it was telling me i had to pay? it wasn’t even a premium filter either.

Premium sucks. Dude this was prolly one of the best photo editing apps ever but now they released premium and half of the things that used to be free are behind a paywall. If you guys wanted to implement premium into the app you should’ve added newer features that would incentivize people into paying extra instead of locking pre existing ones behind a paywall. Used to be my favourite photo Editing app but now these mfs got greedy. Like cmon you locked Grain, Curves, Detail, Fringing, Effects and HSL. You can find all these features for free on other photo editing apps for your phone. Don’t waste your time and money with this app.

Changed too much, charging for old services. I used to love Polarr and have used it for years! I’ve even used the same filters I made probably 2 years ago for all my pictures. Today I went to go edit a new picture with the same edits I’ve used for forever, and it wanted me to pay because it uses an “advanced editing tool”. So now half of the filters that I made and used for years I can’t even use without paying the subscription. It used to be a free easy app that made it super easy to edit photos like a professional and I would recommend it to everyone. Now it’s no different than just editing the picture on the photos app.

Greedy devs ruined what used to be my favorite photo app.. This app was my go-to for photo editing for years. Pretty sure Polarr even used some of my pics on their Instagram at one point given how frequently I would advocate for their app. Sadly no longer. I loved Polarr because it had all the things I needed as a photographer, like curves, HSL etc now everything other than the true basics which are already in your default iOS photos app are paywalled. And I don’t know why they pivoted so hard to focus on filters. Almost every other photo app pushes filters, which I dislike because they’re often bland and don’t give the nuanced control of photos I’m looking for in an editing tool. The devs devalued the portions of this app that made it special and very greedily paywalled almost every feature. What a shame!

If it only would stop crashing. It makes me sad lol. This is so far, my favorite editing app... almost. Long sigh. I do sports photography, I love it. This app does amazing edits. But just as soon as I think I’m done. It freezes and just zones out. Doesn’t close, it’s doesn’t do anything. Just goes blank. So, then I have to start allllll the way over, and pray it doesn’t crash again. Honestly, if it didn’t do that. I would rate it 5 stars, and subscribe for whatever. It would be amazing. It could use more text/font options. Those are a little lacking, and boring. I have shed a tear or three, because of the crashes. Debating on just getting rid of it. But I keep hoping it will be fixed. Please fix whatever is causing the freeze/crash. And I will subscribe for whatever amount you’re charging. And give it 5 stars.

6.0.9 feels like a downgrade :(. Currently, I massively dislike the latest version of 6.0.9 compared to the previous one. Previously I could change the workspace of the app to a "pro" workspace, and that workspace imo is 10x easier, smoother & quicker to use compared to the new one with 6.0.9. So far the new workspace is slower, and feels a little clunky, though the workspace is "easy" to use i guess(i still need time to adjust). I've been using polarr practically everyday for at least an hour for the past week, so i'm going to have to adjust quite a bit to this(presuming it won't be enjoyable). Anyways, pretty disappointed with ver. 6.0.9, the previous version of this app was 4.5-5 stars, 10/10. Hope future updates bring back the pro workspace, and also colors(because black is hideous).

Great photo app and good to it's loyal customers. About a year and a half ago I paid for the app, it's the only app I use for my photographs, i've always love the filters and the choices I can do to make my photographs better. I'm not a photographer in anyway but polarr makes it easy brings the best out of my photographs. I'm also very appreciative that they're not screwing the current customer base who have supported the app over the years. In return I've always recommend at the app when people ask me what do I use for my photographs, people to buy it. Thank you once again for a great app.

Another unnecessary change. Do you people not listen to user feedback?! Every single update makes it more frustratingly inconvenient to use the app. The latest update adds unnecessary steps just to be able to access or even use the filters/ styles. I just want to be able to use the filters as soon as I open the app, like before, not be presented with a page with all the filters that one can download. Also, now I have to download all the default filters before I can even use them. If this is the case going forward, at the very least offer an option to organize the filters that one downloads and be able to batch download an entire set. Updates are supposed to improve the user experience, not do the opposite. Also, bring back the watermark feature! Please do better.

Best Photo Editor on the Apple Store. I can go on as on about this app. I’m so glad I took a chance and paid for it. It does everything I want it to do and more. Truly worth it. So much so that when I create my Teachable class for phone photographers I am going to have a special section just for Polarr. If you are a influencer, want to go more professional, you want to edit your photos to a higher level, get this app. This app isn’t for the regular person who is cool with the edits most people would want. This is for those who want way more than the regular. They want the best. This is like photoshop for your phone.

Not worth it anymore. Used to be amazing but lately they keep taking away features that were previously free and make you pay for them now. I still have tons of filters saved from before even /that/ went premium and now I can’t save any more because you’re only allowed three. Also, now they’re charging for fringing, effects detail, curves, grain, lut, hsl, and even things as simple as overlays and selections/masks. Way to ruin a perfectly good app. It’s not even the fact that they’re charging for it now, I could hypothetically pay that, but I won’t because the fact that they’re slowly taking away every little feature for non-premium users is extremely scummy.

Free in TITLE + App crashing + Somewhat greedy. This app is LABELED as FREE, but half the individual editing features (saturation, etc.) are subscription features. But it’s fine, we can just IMPORT filters or use built in filters offered by the app. Oh, did I tell you that half the filters are only accessible by subscription? Or that you can only save and import two free filters? Oops. But it’s ok! You only really need two because batch save exists! Surprise it doesn’t work, its equivalent to the other option of watching one ad per photo. Batch save either gives you two edited photos (rare), one edited photo (common), or no edited photos (most common). I love this app!!!!

Polarr is amazing!!. I think this app is amazing! It works perfectly to get me amazing filters and effects for edits, photos, and more! I know this could take a lot of work and time, but can I suggest for future updates, maybe allow us to put a filter on videos? Although it will take lots of effort and time, I believe an update like that will make more editors use the app, and make the app better. If you could at least think about this as a future update it would be very much appreciated!

Good but…. BRING BACK THE HEAL and add text boxes!! I loooooove this app but I have to use two other photo editing apps just to “heal“ imperfections and add text. This app use to have heal and copy until the lastest update. When I first downloaded it, there were SOOOOO many tools and now it’s just the basics. You can’t even pay to get those tools, you have to literally download photoshop or other editing apps just to be able to do it. However it is linked to photoshop so you dont have to save the photo then go to photoshop and open it, just go to photoshop and its already there waiting for you to continue working on it.

Suddenly terrible.. No longer user friendly. Basic editing features are no longer available, along with Landscape. Along with getting rid of the options for detailed work, the new option menus became a jumbled mess. Personally: I opened the app, thought i chose wrong, closed it, opened again. Tried to edit and over the next hour, STRUGGLED before I just gave up. When I get frustrated I tend to do my best to figure it out, i’m a weirdo but it’s fun, only with this... there was no rhyme or reason. As I continued to realize how many features were no longer an option, my frustration turned to a confused anger. Polar used to be my favorite editing app! Sadly, now i can’t even figure out how to do a satisfactory BASIC edit. After an HOUR. Last words: Polar now is nothing but a headache and it’s tragic. Who’s idea was this? So BAD. I’m deleting this nightmare n hoping someday it will make a comeback. I’ll download it again if the detailed options that made it so amazing are made available again... and Landscape—how basic is that?—but this is ridiculous. I really loved it so I’ll keep hoping. (Nov 2020)

Loyal Polarr User Switching to Lightroom. I have been using Polarr since at least 2018, but only recently became more serious about my photo editing. Everyone raves about Lightroom, but I have always much preferred Polarr because of its great user interface. I’ve tried multiple times to switch to Lightroom, but kept coming back to Polarr, despite it not supporting RAW photos, which I recently started shooting in. But now, all of my most-used tools are behind a paywall. Never thought I’d say this, but Polarr is unusable for me now. In comparison, Lightroom supports RAW, has more features, is the gold standard of photo editing apps and is only 17 cents more a month than Polarr. Why would anyone choose Polarr?! So disappointed that after being so loyal to Polarr for so long I’m gonna have to switch to Lightroom anyway.

Hands down the best photo editing app. I use manyyyy photo apps and I always go back to Polarr because it has the best features to edit your photo. There are a lot of ways to bring out the best of your photo and Polarr does that for sure, I have been using this app for so many years and it only keeps updating and is getting better and better. Just download and play around with it, don’t be intimidated by the many options it has, it definitely will give you a professional editing power that other apps don’t give.

Glitches but still great. I am learning how to use this app. I do get confused from time to time. But I’ve only been using it for about a week. The one thing that has drove me crazy is that it will crash out of nowhere. It doesn’t do it all the time just sometimes. I would love to be able to have all my photos on a homepage instead of them all having to be in my iPads camera roll. Just a thought but maybe adding a makeup/hair section would be great. I use this app on pictures for Pageant advertising. This would help correct people’s makeup. Just thought tho

Excellent ........Excellent.......EXCELLENT !!!!. Tremendous Post Processing Application...... I love every feature.......It makes post processing easy and it’s developers are diligent in their efforts to stay current with Apple Updates...... This already an EXCEPTIONALLY EASY TO USE APPLICATION…. WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER… One added request….THE EYE DROPPER one that is able to pick a color in EVERY Tool that utilizes the Eye dropper. EXAMPLE WHEN I am cresting border. Have the Eye,Dropper Tool as an option so that I can pick a very specific color from the image itself to use as the color of my frame.. More frame choices such as rounded interior and exterior corners. .

Polarr is officially broken. Ok so I’ve been using polarr for quite a while now. It was perfect for all my photo edits and more, but recently when I tried opening up Polarr it wouldn’t open?? It would load up and then go straight to a black screen. I’ve tried to shut down my device, it didn’t work, I’ve tried restarting my device, it didn’t work, I’ve even tried deleting it and reinstalling it again! It still hasn’t worked. Can you please fix this?

I LOVE IT but 1 small thing. Ok first off, this app is AMAZING!! I love using it for my edits and I love how you can follow people and it’s just amazing!! But the 1 small thing is when I open the app, pick the photo I want to edit, and then I want to get off of the home page and want to go to my account or edit the photo, it will kinda glitch out and it will take a while to load and get to another page. Other than that, I love this app and I would definitely recommend it to so many people!

For a new user this is the way to go!. I highly recommend this app! I am a new user who’s been editing photos for 3 months now, the app is highly reliable. I’ve purchased this app on my computer and had no idea it was an option for the phone. I downloaded it and kept editing my work on the go. There’s no better app then the ones that you can use on your phone and computer. Unless I haven’t seen it the only thing this app is missing is cloud storage.. without the cloud storage you’ll have to download all your photos either on your computer or phone.. so you’ll need to plan ahead.

it was amazing but now it’s not. it’s an amazing app, please don’t get me wrong. that’s why i gave it a fair two stars. the app crashes every time, three weeks and still not update for the bugs. deletes my overlays and i have to constant reupload them. then, my filters get all messed up and not the way they usually are ( they get darker and some effects get taken off ) so it scared me one time but i only just had to close and open the app THREE TIMES. polarr customer support and the developers see these comments but still don’t make any changes and ask to email them for more info. this is the best that i can write. stop telling us to email you for more info when you are already aware since every body is writing the same kind of reviews. WE NEED AN UPDATE TO FIX THE BUGS!

Polarr is my go to for serious photography. Photography is one of my favorite hobbies I practice it just about everyday and have edited at this point 576 photos over the past year with Polarr, spending lots of time with each as to get it exactly how I imagine it. It has jump started my photography career, on computer I use LR and Photoshop and although I’d be glad to pay for Polarr Premium I don’t see why an app that was free for the past four years now has to become monetized. I’ll just use my computer and wait on on the go picture taking. Again this is the best photo editing app on iPhone you won’t find another like it. But one of the things that made it the best was it was free to use.

Having to restore purchase several times per day.. I like the app itself. It is a great app, and usually works very well. I can live with the occasional crashes when applying blur because it usually works after a restart or two. The big problem for me is that with a recent update (5.3.0), the app wanted me to pay for a subscription. I bought Polarr before the subscription model because they announced that if you bought it at that time, as an early supporter, you’d have the app for free for life. I understand the subscription model, but I also did expect them to keep their word. I am hopeful that this is just a bug.

Polarr Keeps Logging Me Out. I have been using Polarr for years as my go-to editing app and it has been great. I had to upgrade to their premium subscription in order to keep on using the features that I need but every time I close out of the app, I get logged out and have to log back in. I initially wasn’t logged in with any account before, and I had loads of saved and created filters. But when that glitch happened and it first logged me out, I lost access to all of that and had to make a new account to switch my subscription over. Now every time I close Polarr, it logs me out and I have to log back in every single time. This has been happening for 2 months now. This is increasingly frustrating and this app hasn’t been updated in a while to fix this issue. Please fix your system.

Horrible update. I loved this app and used it for years. I accidentally updated the app and everything has changed. The whole layout it’s self is different. This isn’t VSCO. And I don’t need to public my own edits. You can’t even edit basic things without it asking you to pay premium. Absolutely horrible. I would NOT recommend downloading this app as the first time nor would I recommend upgrading it in the Apple Store. I can’t even believe adding grain is considered a premium edit tool. I would pay for it if it was a one time charge but. $30 a year is outrageous for an app you would only use a couple times a year. I bet there are other apps that do the same thing and more for free.

Please go back to how it was... hey Polarr.. i understand you have many downloads and want to make more money. i have been using Polarr for a little over a year now, i’ve had so much fun making filters and saving them to share with friends. now you can’t save ANY photo without watching a 30 second ad. i’m a photographer so i have many many photos to adjust and i really don’t appreciate the change. it makes the app annoying and hard to use. of course i understand wanting the income for your wonderful app but also please try to think of the people who have been using the site for years…

It was great, until update. I used to loved this app, it was easy to use and really good for people that don’t have very much knowledge about editing. I had a lot of filters safed then when the app did her update I lost everything!! The app was also free but after the update I needed to pay for everything, even to used filters, so I did, I pay for a subscription, because I loved the app. After I pay for the subscription the app doesn’t let me used most of the tools, the subscription promised, instead it keeps making me pay for another subscription (which I haven’t done because I’m afraid that if I pay for another subscription is going to keep making me updating subscription plans!)

I Need Support with this!!!. so I’ve been using this app for 3 months now, i’ve been able to save my custom filters. when It was updated about a month ago, I lost about 200+ filters. It took forever to restore them and i couldn’t even get them all back. Super inconvenient. It also happened with a ton of other people.... for the past week whenever I open the app, my filters are gone again. I keep trying to upload them back on, but they just keep deleting from the app when i open it up the next day....besides that the app is great, but I really need help with this...

☹️. I’ve been using Polarr for ages, when it first launched I downloaded it and after using it it became my most favourite editing app ever like no other apps can beat it. But now it becomes premium, I can’t afford money and I don’t have card in my country where I live. Why y’all so hungry for money just cuz you saw the app become popular you’re benefiting from it, it was so much better without all this. The app was the best but not anymore. I wish you could remove the premium feature cuz we don’t have money for these things. Please bring it back to us. We need the old free version it’s better. I hope you listen to us, cuz not everything about money, respect these old users of yours who has been with this app for too long.

Garbage app not worth a penny anymore. subscriber since 2018, I’m done with you Polarr! I lost my patience with this app. When I originally downloaded Polarr it was a highly polished user interface, easily navigable and had a lot of features such as importing custom fonts, applying color overlays on the texts, etc. Throughout the years I felt that the app not only got rid some of their strong suit features, but outright lost the plot when it came to creating a one-stop hub for photo editing. If I exit out the app, and quickly jump back on, my in-progress work reverts back to the original image. It’s strange because if you click on the image you were editing, your edits are there but instantly disappears (this is a huge bug that the developers never addressed or squashed). The apply corrections to all selected images, or batch save as they call it are practically broken and have never worked. SO I ask you, what am I paying for exactly? After four years, I had to jump ship and move on to better apps. I’ve tried erasing and re-installing the app, and all the things a user should do before complaining but I’ve lost my patience.

A dream app for amateurs in photography. There's a lot to choose from. Most of the other apps of this sort ,you have to apply for a special trial . You could spend hundred dollars on all the trials. At least what I've seen thus far of your app, there's a lot that you can attain from your app not costing money. You for helping ones out like me that don't have the money to spend. The Lord blessed me with some spotting scope that I can use with my phone to take pictures. Thank you all for adding to my amateur photography. Your friend Dave.

Glitchy. I’m using 2017 iPad and for some reason I can only edit one picture; then I have to close/reset the app so I can edit another.. otherwise it will be so glitchy for the second pic. Even in the first pic it can get really glitchy. Also, there’s a problem when I save a pic, it can no longer be edited in the Photos app. It says “Cannot Download Photo: There was an erro downloading this photo from iCloud Photos. Please try again later.” I thought that I didn’t had enough space in the clouds but no, I have plenty of space. We need a huge bug fix update. This is my favorite app which I paid for the premium features. This app is awesome when it works.

love this app but.... so basically i used this app for around 3 months and i absolutely loved it, this is the best filter app i have ever used ever in my life. But just recently something had happened whereas all my filters suddenly disappeared (costom filters) and i was really sad and confused, can i know why this happened? On top of that it started giving me a tutorial for the app even though i’ve been using it for a while, I never deleted the app or updated it, so why did this happen? please let me know asap. :)

Constant Pop-Ups and No ‘X’ Button. Listen, I understand that you need to promote your pro features for money’s sake, but it gets annoying when you can’t decline. It’s frustrating when it constantly pops up and the only two options are to either ‘try it’ or ‘upgrade’. You should give an option where you can press ‘no’ or ‘x’ to decline it overall. If you try the pro filter you can’t export the photo, so you have to go through and find what it gave you and get rid of it. (It’s especially annoying if it doesn’t have its own major option and is within another option. Ex: The denoise tool is within the detail button.) If you press ‘upgrade’ and then ‘x’ afterwords it still applies the feature, giving you the same problem as before. I was trying to overlook this previously, hoping that it would be fixed in a recent update, but it hasn’t changed. This gets really frustrating and makes it difficult to edit my photos. I would appreciate if this was looked into and if a solution to my problem was provided.

It’s about the $$$ already paid. I already paid for this if I am not mistaken right after I got it when it came out or was on the APP Store. This is possibly another app that charges a one time fee for lifetime use of a pro version the goes to a subscription based service. If you are like me and have a bunch of hobbies and what not then use several to 30 or 50 apps to work and research or just view, it doesn’t take much to get a few hundred plus apps. It’s hard to keep up with who is change what when so you trust them to do the right thing and not cheat you. I am getting cheated left and right. I know I have paid for upgrades for this app for sure. I remember doing everything/pro version. I hit restore purchases and nothing. I will change my review to reflect the app performance when they fix it. I am not paying for something I already bought.

HIGHLY RECCOMEND. This app is honestly amazing. I downloading it thinking “ What could this app truly do if it’s free” well let me tell you that this app does way more than you’d expect. Usually apps that are free and do photo editing make you pay for all these filters to edit your picture but this app gives you tons to chose from and a bunch, A BUNCH of options to customize your picture as well. And you can add your own watermark, save the photo in whatever setting you’d like (PNG is most common). This is the best FREE photo editing app by far

actual trash. this app used to be so wonderful, but the new updates over the past year and some completely ruined it. the entire reason that most people have polarr is for the filters, but now even on the off chance that you Can use one that you like, you can’t even adjust it to look semi decent. what app have you ever heard of where you have to pay to adjust brightness?? none of the free features are worth the on their own; there are so many apps that do the exact same thing without a million paywalls and an ad every time you want to save more than one picture. no one’s paying for a subscription to occasionally put a filter on a picture. fix your app.

Booooooo. Same story as the majority here since paywall implementation. After wading through so many photo editing apps like Vignette and Snapseed over the years, I stumbled upon Polaar about 4-5 years ago. It has been my go-to for editing over anything else because of its ease of use and access to basic (and not-so-basic) adjustments and filters, making for some pretty amazing results. I opened it up to edit a photo yesterday and discovered that even the basic editing features have been locked away behind a “Premium” membership after its update. Now, I realize every company has to make its paper, but that doesn’t mean I can look past the developer’s decision to try and coerce cash grab opportunities from its dedicated user base. It’s been fun, Polaar, but you’ve gotten too greedy. I’m moving on. It’s time for you to go.✌🏽

Terrible update ruins app. Before this update, I'd have given the app 5 stars. Why, when all the other photo editing tools appear at the bottom of the screen — why, WHY, would styles be moved to a different tab? And if adding extra clicks and confusion weren't bad enough, the update now requires me to go through different collections to find and individually add my favorite styles before I can use them. But even worse from a usability standpoint, the styles now display in reverse order within collections, so it's difficult to even figure out which ones I used to use. I'm a long-time user and Polarr WAS one of the few apps I gladly paid to subscribe to. Not any more. I'm cancelling, but would gladly resubscribe if this nonsense is fixed in a future update.

Use to be great, it’s terrible now.. “Follow a trend, and you’ll always be late.” This app use to rival that of Lightroom, and it was on its way to being better than. Now it’s focus is “trendy filters”, which ruins the app entirely. I cannot recommend this app. I would suggest they make a separate “trendy filters” app and develop this back into an amazing Lightroom editing app. Of course I know they tried that and it hasn’t panned out, which is why they’re ruining this. Update for 6.5.6 Filters are dumb, so are the developers. They keep on pushing filters over a quality photo editing app, which is what this use to be. Reviews 2 years and older are practically talking about an entirely different app that no longer exists. STAY AWAY FROM POLARR, it’s no longer worth it.

What’s with this upgrade?. I used to love this app. But with this recent update, it’s just been a frustrating, glitchy disappointment. I can’t seem to open another photo after I finished with one, it freezes every time and I have to close and reopen the app. This makes copying and pasting edits impossible, which is one of the main features I use all the time. There’s also that annoying blue bubble that pops up with “tips” every. single. time. I open a new photo, and it covers half the photo until I click on the couple buttons it wants me to to make it go away. I get it already! The old layout was way more intuitive, I am now clicking MORE to get to the features I used to easily have at my fingertips. Please change it back...

Subscription cancelled. TLDR - Removal of landscape, too many UI / UX changes, and their switch to subscription AFTER I unlocked features = I don’t trust this developer anymore. I am now 100% in Lightroom, this Polarr is no longer a strong alternative to Adobe. So much for trying to support smaller devs! Devs may as well have taken my money for using Snapseed. This tool is totally useless to me now and NOT what I paid or subscribed for. NO LANDSCAPE? TOTAL UI CHANGE? I paid for the original app which went to subscription without warning, now these changes. The FAQ states landscape UI isn’t ready. THEN WHY WAS THIS TRASH RELESED IN THE FIRST PLACE?. I don’t trust this developer anymore, I actually needed to purchase a different app to batch process my photos as this app is now useless, despite paying for (Twice) this application that is totally changed.

Please change it back. The new update is so much more difficult to use. I love making filters and I love sharing them but now I don’t even know if I’ll be able to that anymore because of how confusing you’ve made the app. It used to be my favorite editing app because of how simple it was to use and how amazing the apps editing features are. I’m sure it still has the same editing features but I’m so used to the other layout that I don’t know if I’ll ever figure this new one out. I’ve been using this app for 2 years (maybe longer) I’ve figured everything out and became good at what I do. Now I feel like I have a whole new app and I have no idea what I’m doing. Please change it back to how it was before the update. I KNOW I can’t be the only one that’s having problems with the new layout of the app.

Recent updates changed some things.. So a while back I got this app, it had a little area where you could add shapes, fonts, letters, and special little designs they had ranging from a up and down word with lines and squares to circles with their name in the center, I used it often to make some awesome wallpapers, and as of recent times I came back to not only see that in order to use the tools I bought once are gone, but now to use them I have to pay monthly for them? And I just don’t understand what happened. I paid full price for this app, and now it’s a pay monthly to use? And on top of that you took away the things I bought to begin with?

What's happening?. I've been using polarr since 2016. It's still my preference for the most part, but you keep taking away key tools that I used often. The one that bugs me alot, is not having an eraser to use for overlays. Backdrops is completely useless since it covers the entire picture, including the subject....how is that a backdrop? I have one bug that won't seem to go away. While I'm in the middle of editing, sometimes the entire picture goes blank/black and there's nothing I can do to restore the image. I'm sure you can imagine my frustration with that. I've avoided Polarr many times in the past year because of that. Please stop fixing an app that was never broken.

Bring Back Auto Rotate. With the latest update (June 2020) comes a whole new UI. While many of the features are the same, some functions have been moved to different locations. It’s now closer to the desktop version. I can get used to the new way of manipulating the controls but what I’m very troubled by is it now appears to be locked in portrait mode. Most of my photos are done in landscape mode and being forced to do everything in portrait mode is VERY frustrating! If it is possible to change orientation, I haven’t been able to find it. There isn’t anything in Settings. It used to auto rotate. Not anymore. Please please please bring back auto rotate!!!

Love the App but Re-select/edit issue. Ive loved this app for some years now, but theres been this bug thats been there since ive had the app that I seriously need fixed, When you leave a picture after editing it already and click on the picture again, it OVER saturated your picture to a ridiculous point and changes some of your settings and the only way to get it back to normal is by reverting back to normal and re-editing it or by just not saving it again, this has been my biggest issue with the app since day 1 PLEASE fix it and this app would be perfect!

Worst Editing App (use to be good). Everything use to be free and amazing— now everything is behind a paywall. Even basic editing tools is locked behind a paywall. I was OKAY with some filters being something you have to pay for because at least there was still free filters I could use. Now everything is something you have to pay for! Even the filters that aren’t marked as premium filters are locked behind a paywall! How desperate is this company for money? I have used this app for quite awhile but now I can no longer use it after months/years of having it just because of these continuous stinky new updates. Worst decision/s they could’ve made. This paywall isn’t even the only thing bad about this app— funny right? There’s even more bad things they’ve added onto this app, making it worse than it already is but I’ll spare everyone the details and just sum it down to this: Don’t download the app if you think you’ll receive anything free, expect a good layout, expect anything rewarding even after paying the cheaper option of premium, expect 0 bugs, and etc. The app is not worth your time unless you’d like to add another bill you have to pay every month for basic photo editing tools.

No Point in Using Anymore. I used to love using polarr to make my pictures look cooler or better but I just recently used it and realized that I now have to pay, which makes no sense whatsoever. This app was different than all the other photo editing apps, it would add a lot more to the pictures and make the photos pop and the quality of the app has gone down, another reason I’ve always loved using this app is because it didn’t need you to pay to use a lot of the editing options , but now.. I can’t use a whole lot and even just the simplest stuff requires me to pay now. Please do better. No point in using anymore because I’m not gonna waste my money for some photo editing app.

nothing but a cash grab. this was my favorite app to edit photos. it was easy, fast, and had every option i needed. emphasis on WAS. i’ve been using it for almost three years with no issue, but now suddenly almost every editing option i use is locked behind a paywall. i can’t even view my “favorited” filters without paying, and had to delete a few saved ones because they were suddenly locked off. i suppose i’ll keep using polarr until you bar me from using my created filters, but if you expect me to pay $2 a month to do the basic functions of sharpening and adding grain to some photos, you’re sorely mistaken. horrible business move and shows just how greedy the creators of this app are.

unfortunate new update. i have never left a review before, but this one merited it for me. i have been using polarr for years, and just the other day went to update another app on my phone. i accidentally hit update all, but didn’t think anything of it, until i went and opened polarr. really unfortunate to find that my saved filters that i had made and used for years would no longer be of use to me without paying to upgrade to premium. some of my filters use the HSL and dehazing effects, and now i can’t save my photos because those are premium features. i understand that a company needs to make money, but this is truly sad for people like me who have been long time dedicated users. i won’t be using the app anymore because of this.
