Photo Splash photo editor app 4+

I really like this app overall. I’ve had so much fun playing with my pictures. The color and grey functions work great and so many cool stickers, overlays, and filters. I did pay the $4.99 and I am only a little disappointed. The only problem I’m having is that for recoloring, I am lucky if it actually shows up on the picture as the color I selected. For example, I chose orange and I got blue. That really needs to be fixed or better explained perhaps. But if I’m not trying to get an exact color, it’s fun to change things up.

I've had this app for *years* but haven't been doing any color splash work for a long time. Today, I have a project, and I'm checking out my apps - to find out that the price of this has shot up tremendously. $31 for a year‽ No way to own‽ I could dig through my records for what the cost was when I last used it, just to see how absurd it has become, but I'll probably just move on to my other similar apps to find one that's reasonably priced for the functions available. At least some developers grandfather in users who have had the app for years- but nope. Not these guys.

I'm all for a living wage, don't get me wrong, but the cost of doing business surely hasn't gone up so much that every developer “needs” to charge $25-$50+ annually sometimes without even an option to buy. This isn't an all-around editor- it changes colors and adds some gimmicks.

Wouldn't it be nice if Apple or Google add Color Splash and/or Recolor to their basic editors? Once upon a time they didn't include a crop tool (not that some huge %age of people seem to know how to use it!) and other tools I had to buy. I don't care for monopolies but if developers are acting in concert with each other on the cost of apps (and g-d subscriptions!) there may as well be one already.

I just started using this app and it won’t allow me to access MY pictures 😡. I paid the $3.99 for what? To take a picture with this app so I can edit it? That’s crazy!! The icing on the cake is, there is no information or help 🤬. But what really chaps my hide is I go into another app and it starts out exactly like this one, and I can get into my pictures, but wait, it’s saying I have to pay $1.99 to have unlimited access 🤯. WHAT, I already paid twice that for this app. I don’t understand how they have so many positive ratings. I’ve come to the conclusion this app has ripped off the other one and I’m a sucker that fell for it. I’ll also bet my review gets locked behind the same door my pictures are, never to be seen 😤. Is there any way to get my money back 👿
