Pholorize: Colorize Old Photo 4+

Problem using the app in night mode

I see the bad reviews and I can understand why, the C button is not visible when in dark mode especially on OLED iPhones when in night mode, stop night mode temporarily until the team can fix this issue

Developer Response ,

Thank you very much for your feedback. The problem will be fixed as soon as possible.

Accesses photos without permission in iOS privacy settings

After installing this app, this app was immediately able to access photos on the iPhone without permission in Settings > Privacy > Photos. In other words, this app is *not* on the list of apps which have permission to access photos stored on the iPhone but the app *is* able to access all photos on the iPhone. After opening an Apple Support case, I was informed by Apple that this app uses an iOS feature that allows this app to access photos without giving the app permission in Settings > Privacy > Photos. This is not acceptable from a privacy standpoint.

Please see the Apple documentation, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit/requesting_authorization_to_access_photos; as you can see on the link, the note states that "When using the UIImagePickerController to bring up the user's photo library, your app doesn't need to request permission explicitly."

Need lots more work.

I thought this app had potential. After using it I got nice results. Now when selecting colors and colorization all photos come out blue in color. Also the color choices are limited. They need a color wheel so that a better selection of colors can be selected. I hope the developers address these issues. Again this app has potential but it has a long ways to go.
