Photo Splash photo editor app 4+

I purchased this app a few years ago and it was great. Having not used it for sometime, when I came back to use it the full access I previously had had been removed! I paid way back when and should still have the access I paid for ☹️

I don’t usually write reviews but I thought I would save someone else the bother. I would say I am a very competent iPhone user. But it was so hard to navigate at first, just because of the difficulty of getting passed the adverts, which are constant. It’s really disappointing having paid for the app. It gives you the option to upgrade to remove ads and for more features but it’s for a monthly fee. There’s a pandemic on, people are losing their jobs and this company is really short sighted to see that stuff like this will be the first monthly payments to be cancelled. I would have been happier to pay a higher one off price.

I have edited one photo and once on the actual editing page, it is fairly user friendly apart from constantly zooming out while you are zoomed in, and also having to zoom out to get to the “undo” button which is fairly frequently for me. I’m happy with the result of the photo apart from the watermark which is impossible to miss but I suppose that is the idea. Another irritation for me is that you can’t listen to music while editing and I’m guessing this is because of the frequency of the ads. I found the editing quite therapeutic because it’s like colouring in but with a cool effect end result. But would prefer it with my music.

TL:DR I am going to delete this app and find an alternative, the deciding factor not just being the frequency of the ads, but also the quality of them and how loud and annoying they are.

Firstly within about 3 seconds of loading it asks you to review the app, not a good start, immediately gets your back up! Why do apps do this? It’s irritating and makes me hate your app immediately!
It only has vey basic editing which you can’t export without a watermark, every time you try and select anything different up pops up a full screen advertisement wanting you to subscribe, this is the sort of app that’s only going to get occasional use so subscribing would be a waste of money, if I could buy it outfight for a small fee then I wouldn’t mind but it’s just another case of companies getting greedy, so no thanks I won’t be subscribing I’ve already found a really good alternative that I can make a one off payment for.
