Aviary‪+‬ 4+

I don’t like it!!

I liked the first Aviary better. It was easy to use and had so many more choices and editing options. I liked it because it was different than the rest of the photo editing apps. Now that they decided to “upgrade” the app, it looks and functions like all of the other photo editing apps. I am so disappointed because I was using the old app until I upgraded my iPhone then had to get this one. I miss the original Aviary app so much!! Please go back to the first Aviary!! 😢😢

WORST PHOTO APP EVER. Whoever designed this new Aviary is a moron.

What were you guys thinking with changing the original Aviary in the first place??

I used the old version constantly for years. It was by far my favorite photo app. Friends and family always asked where to get all those cool effects.

It was easy to use, had a seemingly endless selection of stickers, borders, backgrounds, etc. Best of all, there was so much free stuff that users could really enjoy the app without ad-ons. BUT, after becoming a fan of the app and experiencing the amazing options, users knew purchasing certain ad-ons was well worth the low price. I also recommend the app to dozens of people, many of who spent money on it as well.

When the old version of Aviary disappeared from my phone I was crushed. No other photo app I’ve found can even compare.

I downloaded this new version as soon as I saw it, assuming it would be like the old one w/ some new features. SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT!

This new Aviary+ is so basic. The entire look of the app is bare and boring. I didn’t see a store for stickers, backgrounds, etc where you can browse tons of free and paid options. There are like 8 standard filters available and only 3 of them are free.

I honestly can’t fathom why anyone would pay $5/month for this lame app. I can do more with the photo editor built into the iPhone Photos app.

Sorry for not liking the app. We tried to make the photo editor as minimalistic as possible. Good luck anyway

Nothing like the old app

Honestly if you guys are trying to money grab you should have just made the old app subscription based like this one. (You can only use this app for $4.99/month). If the dev’s comment this isn’t a money grab, then why completely shut down the previous app? Many apps have a baseline and + version that offers more...this offers far less.

They have removed virtually 75% of the features of the old app and seem to have literally copied VSCO’s template. If you can please explain this as your popularity did not come from you templates or your “stickers”. And tbh I found your app to be the be far better than VSCO for the exact reasons you have now removed.

The 5 star reviews are also washed with the same comments so I would hold far higher value in the 1 star reviews who seem to come from real people or at least people who used the previous version.

Hey! We respect your opinion! Thanks for the feedback. Creating a photo editor with a small team (there are only 5 of us) is not an easy job. We plan to add features that are important for our users, including video processing and auto-correction tools. We hope that we can change your opinion with our work and you will love Aviary again
