TouchRetouch Ratings and Reviews

AWESOME!

don’t let the fact this app isn’t free turn you away because it’s worth it. i was skeptical how well it would work on my ipad/iphone and it’s amazing. keep in mind it’s not professional desktop software so sometimes it can’t fix everything. also i’m very privacy concerned and have been really disappointed in how there’s like no photo apps for this feature that don’t collect/steal data or hide their true policies on their developers website only so this app is perfect for me. also apple pencil + ipad on this app is a game changer.
for devs: possible issue with the export quality; i notice a slight clarity difference for the whole image even though i only cropped a little but maybe that’s why (photo taken with iphone 12 pro max and made two edits to compare, 1 on ipad air 4 & 1 on the same iphone both on highest quality jpg export setting) also it would be cool if you guys could make a face editing app since you already have a blemish feature in this but i mean something like perf ect365 and face tne , i used to use them until i saw their update privacy policies and is the only other editing app i’m looking for that doesn’t data collect.

I’ve just paid for their “subscription” I REALLY DON’T LIKE IT

I think when you “pay” for something it should be better than a “free” version. I’ve been using ReTouch free version for many years and it’s been an OK tool for removing objects or trying to remove people in a photo. Today I went to do a touch up on photos on my iPhone and it was all different - first it offered me their new Ai paid version for 50% discount, so I thought $7.49 isn’t going to break the bank so I went ahead and got it! BIG MISTAKE (unless I’m not using it correctly which quite honestly for means a big learning curve and so not so user friendly…) and it took me to the app (which isn’t what I wanted - I just wanted to delete something quick in a photo I wanted yo share, where it wanted me to import photos!) When I went back to my photos in my iPhone I could edit my photos (but that after dressing 10 minutes trying to figure out (& not figuring out) what to do to delete an object!
I feel like I’ve been duped - I should have just stayed with the “free” version! I’ve already canceled my subscription! There may be something “Ai” or even “new” that I'm not seeing/finding, and if there is I’ll be happy to come back and change my 1 star review but the likelihood of me using ReStore after today is not likely as right now I’m going to the App Store to find a different photo touch-up app that has better features which as you see I am willing to “pay for”.

Developer Response ,

We are truly sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us.

We didn't change much in the new (subscription-based) version in terms of basic features, so that sounds like there might have been some confusion; and we'd like to have things clarified.

Please reach out to our customer support team – we'll guide you through the features, answer your questions, and assist with any challenges you've encountered.

This used to be my favorite

UPDATE: with the latest update it looks like my issue below was resolved. The developers reached out to me and asked me to show them exactly what the problem was and they took action and resolved it. I am very pleased to note that the background is no longer showing smudges whenever I try to remove dust particles from my background. Thanks for the awesome customer support!

I’m a jeweler. I take closeup photos of my jewelry on a gray graduated background that sometimes has tiny spots, dust or scratches that I need to remove in post editing and make smooth. This app was the first step in photo editing for me. This app helped me do that for quite a few years already. With the last update two weeks ago it now leaves dark smudges on my background whenever I wipe away small lines, or dust spots. It used to blend perfectly. I’m looking for another option already because I can’t use it if it leaves smudges everywhere. please update and fix this!!

What I think about the touchretouch app

I like how I can take pictures in whatever background I want, knowing that I have an app that’s going to take off anything I don’t want there. I like how I don’t need to worry about a perfect background! I could be behind a cute wall but there could be a bunch of trash on the floor but who cares because I could just go back and remove whatever I don’t want there and just keep my cute wall! Other than object removal, the app has so many other editing features and tools you can use to PERFECTIFY your picture!! (I don’t know if that’s a word or not but I’m gonna use it anyways!) Mt personal favorite feature would definitely be the object removal, because I can take pics wherever I want, and later go remove objects and add other details as well! With all that being said, I definitely recommend the touchretouch app because it can do so many different things to make your picture even more beautiful than it already is, it’s also super affordable for what it is and I’m pretty sure a lot of people would appreciate that! You should definitely look into getting this app!!

Been using this for years and nothing comes close to this.

I’m finally seeing this application get the recognition it deserves. It is one of a kind and you simply do not see the features it offers in any other application. offering these kind of tools especially with being as easy as this app makes it. To do this only a couple years ago you would need a desktop pc with very expensive photoshop and a lot of time to spend editing it. But not with retouch. You can do in seconds what takes professional hours you

How many times have you wanted to post something to Social media or share a photo via iMessage but when you look at the picture you see how messy your house is, or you happen not to have any underwear on and the photo you took has a mirror in it. Uh oh. Well this application is here to the rescue. I count how many times this app has allowed me to share pictures I otherwise wouldn’t ever be able to share. ITT

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for such extensive and positive feedback. We are so happy to hear the app is of much help to you.

It’s great you told us about your experience with the app, and that’s amazing the app saves your photos and saves you time. Keep enjoying TouchRetouch!

Wow! Just wow!

Just bought it out of curiosity since it is number 2 in top paid apps and it is just $2. Don’t even need it. Tested it in a couple of my pictures. And my oh my, it works so wonderfully! First photo was just an ordinary setting, tried to remove a plastic bag laying in the ground beside me. Works perfectly 👌 2nd photo,
which I really thought won’t work, it’s me in a pool then there’s a couple behind me, tried to remove them, what makes it difficult is that half of their body.. is of course submerged in the water. I can easily highlight the upper part of their bodies, the difficult part is the lower part since it is refracted by the water as well and I don’t know how will the app differentiate me highlighting the body and not the water since they are overlapping. But my oh my. It still took care of business. It was edited to a perfection. That made me truly realized this app is totally worth it. 5 stars! ⭐️

Developer Response ,

Thank you for such a positive and detailed review! We are happy you gave the app a try and were satisfied with the results. We constantly improve the content removal algorithm of TouchRetouch, and it now is capable of solving more complex tasks. Hope the app will keep helping you with your photo-editing workflows and saving your valuable time 😉

A loyal mem

I have had this app for quite long now and just now went up to your full blown app. I’m excited about it… being new with some things I did not try when I had it, I am a bit confused and green. I would like to test & horse around with the photo I’m interested in but do not want to mess up the original one. I’m also wanting to take 3 people from diff photos and place together. Possible? My daughter had our 1st grandchild but, of course, everyone is at diff places / areas. Do you have an online manual? Would we have permission to send a screenshot of the problem we maybe having? How about a help desk? Will they be available? Or torn with other projects? I’ll stop for now. I text ‘NOVELS’ when I get going. Thanks for listening. JanetR
I am very curious if I could put your app on my pc. Keep up the good work.

Great app, but not happy about the change to subscription

5 stars for functionality, ease of use, and photo results…1 star for what feels like a bait and switch.

Let me start by saying that the reason I’m sitting here writing a review is because it does feel a little dishonest to download an app update and then find out that, oh, this app you bought and paid for is now a subscription app. It was face-slap-adjacent, if I’m being honest.

But hey, I recognize that app developers gotta make money too, and if I’m using this app day after day with no ad revenue and no other money coming in…that’s not a winning business model. So I get it. And honestly, if you’re going to be charging $15/year, that’s like $1.50/month, which is really reasonable for the continued development of this app which I use exclusively for my retouching. Seriously, this weekend, I removed dozens of specs from motion blurred wave photos and you couldn’t even tell (using the Auto!), so I absolutely love what this app does. If $1.50/month is the cost of continued development of this great product (and a discount for year one, which I guess would factor in the money I already paid), then I am willing to pay it.

But that was a cheap trick, devs. You’re on notice. Any more shenanigans and I have no problem learning how to better use the Lightroom Heal tool (another app I am already paying for on an ongoing basis) or seeing how other apps approximate what ReTouch does.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for sharing your honest opinion concerning the change we made. We are proposing for all our old users unlimited Free plan, also we propose to upgrade to support further development. What we did wrong? :-)

Love it!

I’ve always wanted an app like this to edit my pics when there things in the way. I could be wrong but as far as I know no other editing app can do the things this one can do. It’s so worth the money to buy this. Love being able to get the little or big things that may make or break a great pic. To be able to totally eliminate lines and/or objects on an already great picture is awesome. There is several very awesome things this app can do for a pic. The main complaint I have is the instructions could be just a little bit bette. I still think it’s somewhat confusing as to how some of the functions actually work. But mainly I’m not able to see what the options are. They are a tad to small. Definitely not a deal breaker but just wanted to put that in my review. Otherwise it’s a very useful, cool app and totally recommend it.

Disappointing subscription & updated app

I paid for and have used Retouch for many years. Loved it. It was my go-to for quick retouches with the Brush Tool. Now the Brush tool is gone (why?? Why change something that worked perfectly?) You say that former users can continue to use the app without subscribing (and without updates — which is fine by me)… But I just used the app on an image and it won’t allow me to save it without signing up for a subscription! So it’s NOT TRUE that you’re letting your longtime loyal customers continue to use your program as is. You are not. You are forcing everyone to update when they save the retouched image. And the update is not as good as it was before. If there’s a way to continue to use the app without updating, please let me know how. Because your app is not letting me do so at all.
Also, *please* bring back the simple Brush tool, the way it worked before that everyone was happy with. That’s the best thing you could do.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.

Developer Response ,

We're sorry if our switch to a subscription model has caused you frustration. But that was a necessary step for us to keep supporting the app.

Why do you believe the Brush tool is gone. We didn't remove it. It's still in the app and available for both users with and without the subscription. Please contact us by email to have the problem figured out.

As for the problem with saving photos, our longtime users could use the feature with only one restriction – if the premium Blur feature has been applied to a photo, the photo cannot be exported. Is that the case you have experienced?
