The great finisher!

Mehmehmeh.
Been using PICFX for many years now and I use it on the vast majority of the pics I post to social media. Even if I start the edit in another app or use multiple apps to work the pic I find that the PICFX filters are the perfect finish to achieve the look I’m going for. And they’ve been putting in a ton of work over the last few months making the app easier to use and advancing the available filters. Can’t recommend enough.

This app used to be so cool, and my go to for editing pictures to give them a pop. But all of the features I loved are gone - I redownloaded without reading the reviews, and lemme tell you, that was a waste of time. The old filters that were cool and special on this apple are gone: bokeh, texture, lights, galaxy. What use is there for this app now? Literally all the filters are built into smartphones now. There’s no need to download an additional app, let alone pay for basic filters that don’t differ from competing apps. I’m not surprised to see all the other reviews saying the same thing. But it doesn’t matter, we’ll be ignored. Don’t download this app, it’s a waste and you’re better using your built in filter editor in your photos. Definitely deleting. Unfortunate.

Paid for this app 3 years ago and purchased a filter pack. I had to restore my phone and lost all of my apps and when PicFX redownloaded I tried to open it and it just crashes over and over. I tried to delete it and reinstall and it does the same thing. All of these 1 star reviews, I just hope the pack I bought is still there.

We have an update coming in the next few days that has various bug fixes that should fix your issue with crashing. Thanks!

Not the app I remembered

I rarely use this app for photo editing or preset filters. My primary app is VSCO cam and it works for most things I want to do. I kept PicFX and used it only occasionally when I wanted a special effect for a photo, mostly light leaks, bokeh, sparkles, galaxy type stuff. The silly trendy stuff that can make a sup-par selfie more fun. I opened it today and was confused to find none of those things. Thought I was crazy at first, and checked all my other apps before coming to the review section. No reason to keep this app around now. I am sure it does its new job fine, but why would I switch from VSCO?
