I love color tone I really do but the reason I rate this 4 because the time was because I always seem to have troubles with exporting videos. to be honest it’s ridiculous because this is supposed to be a really good app and I know a lot of people say it is. although I have not gotten these troubles until I got up to 100 videos. so I had to end up deleting the app and then reinstalling it. and it still did not work so I’m really questioning why I have to delete the app and then delete all the progress I made on it just for it to work and then it might still not work, that’s a risk and I do not like how risky the app is because if you you might have some really good memories or stuff on it that’s now gone because of its progress that still does not work. I find it ridiculous and I feel like this needs to be fixed.

I have always LOVED Colourtone, and my favorite filter to use was Palm Beach. The recent update has now locked palm beach, so unless I pay money, I can’t use it. That is unbelievable, so many ppl loved that filter and used it, which is probably why we now have to pay. Another thing is we can’t add dust to videos but we can add it to pictures, and I’m grateful for that, but I would like if we could add dust or videos. I know so many ppl who use the filter “Palm Beach” who now have had to switch apps, or filters, and it made me really sad when I went to go edit my video and palm beach was locked, I also noticed you locked other filters that were once free. Also, a lot of ppl don’t have money to pay for filter packs or colortone pro, including myself. I know you may consider this a “you, problem” than your own problem, but it would mean so much to the thousands of people, including myself, if you could make some filters available for the free version, including palm beach. I apologize for the trouble and for this long review, but there are many issues as well. I have a fanpage, which I use colortone to add filters to videos. When I use the app “Vont” I go to colortone to add filters over the video and text, but when I do that, it makes my videos look blurry and glitchy, even without adding texts to video, it still does that. I think that is a major problem. Thank you. 🥺

Okay so first off I would like to say DON’T TELL ME TO TRY OTHER FILTERS BECAUSE 99% of them cost money. I am a zepto creator so I always need filters for my videos I was constantly downloading apps for my coloring and stuff until I found out about your app every zepto creator was using this one filter “palm beach” so I got super excited because I knew this was the one until I saw that it cost money. Right now I’m not at the age to have a job and I don’t like to be having to constantly be asking my family for money that’s not me. So you guys got me hopes up. I also heard that that filter used to be FREE and that since everybody started using palm beach you decided to make people pay for it now. I just wanna know WHAT was going threw y’all’s head when you decided to do that?? If everybody was using that filter why would you make it cost money that would literally make everybody stop you using the app because not everybody has money. Maybe if it was still FREE way more people would be using this app. ALSO I can’t even upload my Zepto videos there’s literally no coloring even though y’all stay saying it saved like wth. Anyways 0 out of 10 app I don’t recommend at all 🥱.Oh you guys are lucky that you even got 1 star from me. and I just know y’all are not gonna respond because you can’t handle facts😐.

Best app ever! Please read.

Okay so I got this app because everyone was talking about it! So when I downloaded it, it was very confusing for me, but when I had if for a couple minutes and played around with filters I liked it became so much easier and so much more aesthetic. I used to post pics and videos (I’m a roblox tiktoker) without a filter and I compared the ones with filters and they look so much better! I’ve had the app for a few years now and everybody gives me compliments the only thing I don’t like about this app is that most of the filters that I like and everyone uses you need premium For. Most apps like do that and I’ve never seen an app with all free filters. But maybe they could add some new ones for free? Some pepole don’t want to spend their money. But overall I was so happy about how my videos are turning about because of this app! Love this app so much and if you don’t have it you need it! It’s amazing for adding personality to your videos. My fav filter is boocray for sure! 😊🤍

Spring Break is here. A new filter inspired by 90s camcorder footage and sun-soaked nostalgia. Warm amber tones, visible scan lines, blown highlights, and chromatic fringing that makes every photo look like it was pulled from a VHS tape. Works on photo and video.
