Lomograph - Retro Photo Editor Reviews

by Hailey Pippin

So I downloaded Lomograph and didn’t really like it so wanted to cancel before getting charged after my 3 day free trial. Well turns out I still got charged, but when I go to Lomograph now it says start your free 3 day trial which since I basically paid (even though I didn’t want to) wouldn’t you think I would actually be able to use Lomograph ? I’ve also sent them an email and no one has gotten back to me which it’s been three days now since I’ve sent the email. I’m very angry and disappointed to say the least...

I purchased a pack of filters two months ago and noticed that I now no longer have access to them, and instead am prompted to purchase a $25 subscription. I have already purchased (as in PAID FOR THEM.......WITH MY MONEY) these filters, so I either need access back or I need to be reimbursed for the pack that I did buy.

Note: clicking “restore purchases” prompts a pop-up which reads “Error! Restore Failed. Please, try again.” I have tried logging out & back in to my App Store, deleting and re-downloading Lomograph , turning my phone off & back on again - every time the same error message pops up.

Editors/creators/whoever handles this - FIX the bug or reimburse me and the other customers that have paid for packs of filters. I didn’t DONATE my money to your company/app, I PURCHASED a product for myself. Please fix it.

There should be a better way to cycle through filters instead of randomly applying them. Also, the shutter sound effect when selecting a filter is annoying, especially when you have music playing in the background. It completely stops Apple Music from playing just because of Lomograph sound effect.

I think that paying extra to apply your own dates is totally unnecessary. Especially since we already have to pay for other filters that are only available to us temporarily. I think you guys should revert it back to the old style, when you didn’t charge to JUST change the date on YOUR OWN pictures.

I love everything about Lomograph except it keeps kicking me out of Lomograph and also it won’t let me exit out of the photo I’m editing. Besides that great filters and variety to choose from. Would def download this if you are ok with putting up with it kicking you out sometimes and losing your progress

Oh dear! Right up in ver 1.5 I noticed you fired Peter because he was never on time. Does that mean if I hadn’t updated it he’d still have his job? I’m sooo sorry Peter. You were doing fine; I’m not a fan of the “everyone be at your desk at the same time” model anyway since it’s unnecessary for most tech companies.

(Don’t even get me started on the United States insanity of standing all day at work for jobs that should have a choice of sitting and standing- but I hope you all know firing Peter isn’t reality)

Lomograph is fine but not one I’ve used a lot yet. Some of the effects are unique. I generally combine editors so I pick and choose what works.

I was very excited when I found Lomograph. I even purchased a couple of packs. One of my favorite things about it was the date stamp. However, after the first day of using it, they removed the day and just kept month and year which makes it look less like an original film. It’s extremely frustrating because Other than that the filters are great and I’ve raved about it to everyone. Please fix date stamp!!

This is one of my favorite apps to edit my pictures, I just always wish that you could go back to an filter if you accidentally click past it, instead of just continuing to try new ones and hoping a similar one will cycle through. And why have the film burns on only a few of the color filters? The most annoying is that you can’t play music while you use Lomograph .

I love this it is exactly what i was looking for. I love how it transforms pictures. Some improvements that can and should b made are the following. When on the camera screen there should be a timer option. Next all but one of the sets of fliters cost 2.99. I feel like that is kinda a rip off. I only bought 2(i had a gift card otherwise I wouldn’t have). But nothings perfect i guess lol, i really like Lomograph anyways though.

This is one of my favorite photo apps to use, but the only thing I don’t like about it versus the other apps I use more often is the ability to control the look of the filter. Being able to customize the intensity of the filters would make it much better in my opinion because sometimes the filters look too intense on certain photos.

This is the best free filter app I have ever used! I like the dust and distortion options along with the filters. Pictures taken with this app are really unique and they stand out from your normal filtered photos. And I appreciate that there are no ads!! Another great thing is that you can do so much with the free filters; and the paid filters are inexpensive. I am impressed with Lomograph. A cool feature I would like to see though, is an option to use the distortion and dust features without a filter. That would be really cool.

And thanks for the response! Keep up the good work!

Literally adorable!! I know the extra filters cost some dough,, but it’s totally worth it and the developers gotta make bank somehow, so why not? Lomograph is SUPER easy to use and I’m in love with the freedom it gives you compared to other apps with the same style/idea. Def recommend.

This is app is amazing. There is some tiny glitches but other than them it’s perfect. It’s Lomograph you want that have retro and other filters but it’s soo nice and neat. I got Lomograph just to see what it is but I’m keeping it because it’s so good and isn’t fake like other apps are.

I had to change my device... I’ve already bought the entire pack. But my purchases were not restored. Please help... I don’t have all my filters and I have to suffer through extra long ads

Absolutely love Lomograph , and everything it has to offer.

I do wish they can make it more user friendly however.
- Allow how much and more specifically where you can add dust
- Be able to move the flares
- Make it easier to choose the desired filter, so we don’t have to click 30 times before reaching the one we want.
- Lomograph used to respond a lot faster, no lag, and no crashes

With all that said,
Thank you for creating Lomograph , maintaining it and allow all of us to use it.

Lomograph is great because these filters are trending right now and it’s lets you choose a good amount of filters the only thing is that you do have to pay for some of the filters but it lets you download them to your camera roll and overall this is a great app

by BedTide

I appreciate the previous help with restoring previous purchases but since the recent update, Lomograph has crashed Every time I try to edit an image. Even small, simple images crash it. Up until this update, this was my favorite app to use. I hope this is fixed soon.

by MusicJunkie279

I love Lomograph but I highly suggest adding a strength tool so you can adjust how much of the filter you want. I find that in some pictures, I love certain filters but they are just a little too strong for my liking and so I don’t end up using Lomograph at all :( but 5 stars because Lomograph is simple, easy-to-use and has amazing looking filters!

I’ve had Lomograph since 1.0 and it has only gotten better! In the 1.1 update there was a problem with in-app purchases so I emailed the developer and he kindly replied to my email and then the new 1.2 update was released almost immediately with the problem solved. You can tell they actually care about the users.

Over all, my favorite aspects of Lomograph as of the 1.2 update are:
- the distortion is my most favorite
- the dusty film grain
- the option to turn off date stamp and distortion
- the random light leaks
- the new Kosmos filter!!

What I’d like to see in future updates
- more filters (duh)
- an opacity option for distortion and filters

Thank you for this amazing app!! My new favorite!

this app’s an amazingly useful app, completely free of charge unless you plan on purchasing some new filters (which I absolutely will pretty soon), there aren’t many ads constantly in your face, the filters are all stunning, Lomograph actually enhances pictures that've already been taken, and yeah! Basically, this is the embodiment of anything and everything good. No false advertising either, you get exactly what you’re looking for.
