Foodie - Filter & Film Camera Reviews

this app is my favorite filter App, when Foodie was released, I used it in the very first time. In the old versions, when I use Foodie to edit the pictures I took, it will retain the exif of the photo. However, this app modified this function, now the photos will no longer retain exif after being edited by this app. This really troubles me a lot, because I want to rely on exif to keep my albums organized. Could you let users choose whether they need to keep exif? I really want this feature back.

I cannot say this is a bad app because it’s a very good filter photo app. However it does take a lot of time when you’re new to Foodie to play with the filters before you finally find some your okay with. Once you FINALLY do find the filters you prefer for certain food subjects and favorite them, or any subjects for that matter, it’s super simple to snap shots quickly.

However my reason for 2 stars is that it’s been well over a year now and there still has been NO FIX for the “Location Info” bug. Every photo ever taken always shows the location in some mountain side in southwest China. Literally a mountainside. Seriously....why can’t it get that right? The purpose of me taking food pics for me is to always be able go back and recall the location, otherwise why bother. That’s my opinion.

All in all though, great app with tons of filters that have relevant thumbnails to choose one semi-quickly on the fly. I will change rating once location bug is resolved.

Foodie should not be allowed to be called “this app”, the developers don’t seem to understand the most basic concept of this app photography. I am an experienced food photographer and my friend is one of the best in the world. For studio work we use real cameras and controlled lighting. A more casual this app (AND us when we are in a restaurant) use our smartphones and our mission is to be fast, stealthy, unobtrusive and work with low ambient light and mixed color temperatures and expect our app to be smart enough to magically capture an awesome image. Foodie is ridiculously fussy, requiring the user to choose from all kinds of filters and effects which 90% of people don’t even understand. To take a decent food pic in a restaurant would take 5 minutes of playing with its control settings. It has no smarts at all, it’s just a camera app with filters. Big whoop. So far my favorite choice for on-site this app pics is NeuralCam but I’m still searching.

I’ve been using Foodie for food pictures for well over a year (maybe 2) and it used to be the best. Because it worked well I even used it for non-food pictures. Recently though the quality of facial pics is extremely disappointing. Additionally, the filters seem to mess the pictures up more. I used to be able to take a pic using one filter and change the filter later without it impacting quality, its simply not the case anymore. Also recently sound does not record in video mode. I’ve checked the settings and can’t find anything, nor did I make any changes so I don’t know what’s up but I really wish Foodie worked the way it did in the beginning. It’s simply not reliable like it once was. I no longer recommend it to people.

I have no idea what happened, but it seems like overnight Foodie decided to just stop functioning. Now, when I select a photo and tap “edit,” almost immediately the quality of the photo worsens. It becomes blurrier, fuzzier. And it isn’t coincidental, there was a photo I had edited using this app just a few days prior and it came out beautifully. Then today, I wanted to edit the original photo again with a different filter and then as soon as I tapped “edit,” boom, it looks terrible (and this was before any filter was applied to it at all). I can guarantee my phone isn’t the issue because why would it be? I have sufficient memory and the software is up to date. I’m sorely disappointed because this WAS my favorite app. Now I’m trying to find a replacement.

This filter app incorrectly makes all my photos on my iphone taken with these filters say they were taken in a random location. This is a super big drawback of Foodie.
Does anyone know or can inform me why all my photos taken with this filter say that they were taken in a random place in China that I’ve never heard of? I know the problem is probably with Foodie because all my photos taken without the filter are in the correct location. this app experts, please tell my why this is happening and how i can make it stop.
Update: with the new iphone update, not only is the location completely incorrect, but the time it was taken is wrong too. The filters are adorable on Foodie but the incorrect location and time is completely messing up my phone. please fix it.

Used to love Foodie (Avid user for both photos & videos), but after today’s app update & recording some videos like I normally do, I discovered that there was no audio when I do playback (no audio AT ALL). I even fiddled w all Foodie settings, double-checked the phone settings, tested several other video recording apps to ensure that it wasn’t an issue w the phone, PERIOD... but it’s definitely your app that’s the only one recording without audio.

The issue took place right after I updated Foodie . Can this still be fixed? Please advise. TIA!

Hi, I use Foodie all the time, but in the last update, I got a picture from my gallery, applied a filter and when I saved I noticed a BIG reduction in the quality of the image, the image was like pixelated and sharpened after I saved. Happened to all images I tested afterwards. Please fix it, otherwise I can no longer use Foodie to edit images 😢 this is my all time favorite app

Foodie has really helped me take better photos of my food, even when there’s no natural light. However, for some reason, the location of all of the photos I take with Foodie shows as Hulunbuir, China. Furthermore, the time/date taken reflects Hulunbuir’s time zone. This isn’t much of a problem for me, since I upload my photos to Instagram and then delete them from my phone. However, if you do keep your photos on your phone, this will probably mess with things.

I was using this app all the time, as it can definitely fix and filter food photos so much better than instagram filters. I can make so many dark and crappy photos look bright and clean again.

However, suddenly when I select a photo from my library to edit, it zooms in and I can’t zoom out to truly edit the picture. This, it’s rendering Foodie completely useless for the moment. Can’t find any app support or help contact anywhere so no way to report an issue. How are bugs determined if there’s no way to interact or report with/to Foodie ?

Please fix soon!

Every time there’s a new this app update I’m hesitant to update. I don’t understand why the developers don’t keep the quality of the filter the same. Do not tell me they’re the same or better, I’ve used Foodie for so long I know the difference. Why change something when it was good already? This time I updated because of the photo ratio. Very disappointed with the filters. This went from being a beautiful simple powerful this app app that worked well with anything, to an app that’s similar to other photo selfie apps. Also, blurring face options and changing facial size features? You should rename Foodie .

If your location is turned on for Foodie, the photos you take will have the messed up location. For me it shows Kashgar no matter where I am. This happened after I updated my app to the most recent one, it never happened before. If I use my phone camera, the photo has the correct metadata, hence the location is also correct! It’s really disappointing the developers haven’t caught this bug yet. It’s been a while. Please fix that! Thank you!

I’ve been using Foodie. for my food blog for the last 2 months and it was working great until one day....I noticed my phone started to overheat while I was editing a photo. I took it to Apple maybe thinking it was my phone but it wasn’t. I noticed that every time
I use Foodie . the section by the camera lens starts to heat up! When I’m not using Foodie . my phone is back to normal. Any idea why this is? I would hate to delete Foodie . because the filters are so great but hopefully it’s some type of glitch that can be fixed.

I’ve been using this app over a year now. The changes have mostly been great but as of a few months ago the images no longer save in their own album like they used to. Didn’t change settings - it just happened out of no where. Maybe by an update without my knowledge. It’s a shame considering I loved that simple organization. Uninstalling did not help either. Satisfied with it for the most part but don’t expect superb quality. It’s just more convenient than editing after taking photos.

Thank you for the improving of all the functions that i always really wanted it. this app was my favorite app and i always used but the only one min video and the bugs was bothering alot. Finally you fixed it. Txtxtx!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

But one thing still want to fix it is when someone call me or phone alerts such as “low battery”..etc came, all the recording is gone. 😭😢😩😫🥺
I’m a mom and i always take videos with this app but also always loose my video too. Even 5min ago too 😓 it is really painful.

So! Plz solve the problem and i’ll spread more and more about this lovely this app!!

Still, thank you for making Foodie! *^^*

I love all the free filters Foodie gives! They’re seriously amazing. The only thing I have to say is, whenever I try to save a filtered VIDEO, my app crashes no matter how many times I refresh or delete and then redownload Foodie . When it did used to work and save just fine, the instagram upload quality was poor. The cover on my feed was blurry and grainy, not at all high quality. But yeah, it’s good for photos.

I have been using this app since day one,
Not all changes are good ideas,
In filter mode, you use the slider to control how intense you want the filter to be. why did you guys take away the numbers? Whos idea is it anyway? That is a bad idea,
So you kept the numbers for the adjustment section(brightness, vibrant..., but decided to take the numbers off in the filter section, whats the logic there? curious to know the thinking process behind that.
If someone has 10 photos, how do they it all consistent? Eye it? Hopefully the developer reads this, this is an amazing app, this is just my feedback

Hi,

I really love Foodie and have been using it for awhile to take pictures. I always keep the original and use high quality. However, lately Foodie has been really slow on saving picture. After I took the picture the circle keeps turning trying to save the picture and I cannot take another one. It’s quite frustrating. Can you let me know what’s wrong or help fix this.

Hey, I am a big fan of Foodie, but lately all my videos are coming out washed out, meaning after applying a filter and saving the video, then the videos are saved with a different filter that has a super high brightness that makes the colors be washed out. This is not happening with pictures, only with videos. What is the issue?

Also, do you guys have a support page?

this app has great filters and I love using them for my Instagram feed. I love the feature that you can save your filter for future use, but whenever Foodie updates, it doesn’t save the filter from before Foodie updated. I think it would be an easy fix, but I find it very frustrating especially if you are trying to keep a consistent feed...

EDIT EDIT: They finally fixed the issue! Thanks so much!!!

EDIT: Even after this most recent update, my issue was still not fixed (the quality of the photos still come out as soft/frosted). Bummer :(

A year ago, this app came out with an update that completely changed the quality of the photo after the filter was applied- luckily they fixed it quickly after review complaints (which I greatly appreciated). However, Foodie faces yet another similar problem to last year with the recent update, as the quality of my pictures are coming out worse once the filter is applied. The images have a soft/frosted focus, and then become strongly pixelated once I zoom out on them. I am very upset at the changes to the filters, as I always use Foodie for my instagram photos and can no longer do so due to the distorted quality. I really hope that this app can fix this with their next update, so that I do not have to seek out another editing app for my photos.

This is a great app! I’m making a photography website and I think this will be a huge part of it. I’ve had it for about 5 minutes and am already giving it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!! You can edit photos from your library, or ones you just took on Foodie . And don’t worry, it also takes great pics of people, nature, or anything else! Love Foodie!!!
