Filtertune by Lightricks Reviews

by Eliza1225

The ads I was getting for Filtertune enticed me to download it. I loved the idea of easily removing people or objects from the background of a photo. I downloaded the “free” app and then came to find out if you want to use vanish mode you have to pay a subscription but also it’s absolutely TERRIBLE. It makes me wish I had a Pixel because this feature comes naturally with photos and does an amazing job. Here it just scarily and weirdly lops out part of the background while not color matching and leaves weird blobs behind. Do not recommend. Especially not if you think you’re getting this feature.

I downloaded and paid for a month for Filtertune because I was seeing all the ads and I loved the idea of being able to erase things out of pictures. It does not make anything vanish, and instead it makes it look as if you’ve just smudged the item. You can’t even do a free crop to try to crop things out of the picture. I am entirely disappointed with Filtertune.

The apps ok in general, but now since we need to pay, we cant even use the good filters, and i cant even make my own at that, those were the reasons i even used Filtertune, please use ads instead, id much rather prefer those :(

For the price they want EACH MONTH, I will use photoshop or another photo editor app I already have. I will pay once for an app, but these clowns want your credit card number so they can charge you monthly, even if you don’t use it. Run from this never ending scam!

Why does a photo editing app want/need to track me? Why do I have to sign in? Oh, so you can track me. I was intrigued enough from an Instagram ad to check out Filtertune , downloaded it and was instantly put off when apple let me know it wanted to track me. Then I never even got to try it out bc it wants you to make an account. I have no problem with needing to make an account or pay for a service but with so many apps not living up to their advertising and wanting to see where you go on the internet it has made me more cautious about whom I give my info to these days. I will be deleting Filtertune .

I accidentally purchased Filtertune thinking it was something else and the immediately emailed the creators via Filtertune asking for a refund. I have followed through with 3 request, still no response. Don’t waste your money on an app that has no customer support and offers a bad product

I downloaded Filtertune and I authorized it to subscribe me to ONE month, instead it subscribed me to a FULL YEAR on its own. Now when I try to send them an email it won’t go through no matter what I do! I can’t contact them about it. They ripped me off for an app that has like 5 different filters your iPhone already offers!

I was charged for Filtertune the moment I installed it to try it. I don’t want an app that gives the world access to my photos that I am editing. I can’t find any way to cancel my order and get a credit for my purchase. Send an email for help with this? I get a message that says they don’t have an email for me!

Very misleading. It advertises it can do scenery changes, erase backgrounds and make pictures look professional grade. Not true; atleast not erase things without it messing up the picture. I wish I could have done a free trial for atleast one day before I had to buy it to find out it’s not worth even a download.

I saw this ad on IG and thought what an awesome app to have. It’s deceiving folks!!! What ever they show that’s easy to do by taking/erasing out background doesn’t work on Filtertune! It DOES NOT!!! delete the background. All it does is smudges the background. And the ability to replace background? Forget about it!!! It doesn’t. All you can do on Filtertune is change filters, colors, crop. NOTHING AS IT SHOWS ON Filtertune !!! DON’T get deceived by this ad!!! You can use photoshop instead.

I’ve been curating my own presets on Filtertune for months and built my entire IG feed theme based off of what I had created. Well as soon as I got a new phone and signed in on a new device, suddenly I was being asked to pay for the ones I made. After I paid, they all disappeared. Allll of my months of hard-work was gone. Not a single preset was still available. I’m disgusted and disappointed. Don’t let Filtertune steal your hard preset work!!

I had high expectations from the adds but when I purchased it within 3?minutes I wished I hadn’t. Sorry to say, It’s super slow and clunky. It Wouldn’t load my photos half the time and kept crashing before I could save something. I really wanted to like Filtertune but it’s not for me. I bought it 10 minutes ago and wish I could get my money back. They tell you you can unsubscribe any time, but you don’t get your money back

I don’t know what the rave is about Filtertune. I went to use the erase feature and it isn’t clear as they indicate on the application. It looks like a wallpaper design and picks up the colors in the background that I’m trying to erase. There’s no feature of adding photos as they indicate.
The background of the sky or the forest didn’t work for me. The filters aren’t any different than free apps I’ve already had on my phone. Very disappointed I think they’re totally false advertising this product.

by SlowJoeKitchen

I saw the ad and with ONE zig zag motion, the background or extra person disappears! Well, IT DOESN'T WORK! All it does is “smudge” the color from the sky, wall, etc and START to erase. It’s no better than a bunch of other editors. It doesn’t erase as advertised. And it shouldn’t be allowed fo advertise that it does. I should have been suspicious when it required me to pay before using it. Hopefully this review will save someone else from getting RIPPED OFF by their false claims. Don’t waste your money on this. (I rarely write negative reviews but this one ticked me off)

‼️‼️ DONT DOWNLOAD. when I downloaded this not even like 10 minutes later my Wifi was going slow. Then I go to my wifi settings and it says that someone is tracking my browser history. I logged into Facebook with Filtertune and it said that Filtertune was tracking it. When they are tracking your history they can get into important stuff. ‼️‼️ If you are getting a “privacy warning” on WiFi on your device, it means that your MAC address is not being masked and the network can see your device's address and track

When I try the vanish, it doesn’t vanish anything at all. I’ll p,as with it some more, but I may delete Filtertune . I paid for the yearly.

I use my finger to highlight something I want out, but item stays despite trying several times. I’m using the new iPad Air 4.

by Jrandalexmom

I use Filtertune to put a filter on all my art and sometimes photos, i have an idea for Filtertune that could be cool, “filter albums” so you can put filters in certain places like you could have one album be all blue and another be all red, anyways thanks for making Filtertune!

by Narjis J

Filtertune is the best thing I’ve ever downloaded especially the “discover filter” feature I can’t believe i used to spend money to buy ugly filters when these existed thank you

by Kslyomama

All the filters you could ever want!!!

by Janet Flores

Lots of filters with endless customization—including vanish.

by Alanij

I don’t understand what is the need to sign in with one of my other accounts. Why wouldn’t Filtertune not have its own account? Make it make sense! Won’t use a product that NEEDS to piggyback off other accounts for information. SMH…

by Battery Knowledge

If you saw the ad on Instagram, that was a lie. Filtertune is nothing like it was advertised. I downloaded Filtertune , paid for the month, and tried the vanish feature and it was a lie. Probably a decent editing app but you can do that in your photo editing tool in the iPhone menu. Waste of time.

by Anniiee1999

Before the update you didn’t have to pay to use most filters but now you need a subscription if you want to apply the filters
