FotoRus -Camera & Photo Editor Reviews

by Itplytdy

5 stars if you allow communication in English and an opportunity to purchase an ad free version. I can’t give feedback to developers because it’s in a foreign language.
One star for the option to change the resolution of my final collages and change the resolution of my final collages.

Dislike the latest horrible additions I am dumping it. It’s so hard to quickly just create a collage.

I was a longtime user of FotoRus but they lost me after their last upgrade by asking for my location EVERY time I made a collage even though I turned it off in settings. Highly annoying and Invasive.

The ads take up the whole screen and are constantly popping up before, in the middle of making the collage and when I finish. Some ads were video ads and they would hijack my volume and start playing automatically and at full volume!!!
I would have purchased FotoRus to stop them from asking for my location and the ads but they didn’t offer it.

This used to be my review... before this update. The new version is terrible! Where is the “sticker” button with the hundreds of stickers and the video version of it as well. It is not user friendly, where do the boarders and PIP go once you have downloaded them? There used to be a PIP button also. If FotoRus doesn’t go back to how it was, or at least somewhere close to what it used to be, I’m going to delete it and find a better one!
Terrible, terrible update!

There's just no need to use any other app. It literally has everything you would need to enhance and be creative with your pictures

FotoRus used to be better. When it was updated, there where some new things that added to the experience, but one really useful feature that I use often is the stickers option. Before the update, the stickers would load up fast. Now, after updating, the stickers section refuses to load. I’ll be waiting for it to load for about 20-30 seconds when it finally stops and says “reload”, and when you press reload, it just keeps loading, then saying reload again, and so forth. Yes, my WiFi is working, and I have not changed the WiFi or done anything to it to make it slow down. This was really disappointing for me because I use to use the stickers a lot. :T

1. Hundreds of lovely stickers with no search option. (Where did the clown wig go?)

2. Collage has some weird options like adding a frame around each individual picture. Not a plain frame, a very big frame that changes the shape of your segment. Frames should go around the entire collage and be simple so they don’t cover the collage.

3. Collage background colors are whack. No black, just dark grey. No pink, just salmon or peach. All colors are pastels. Just add a color picker.

4. I left FotoRus for five minutes to reply to a chat and when I returned, FotoRus had reloaded back to start. So I started a new collage. Then I left to write this review. When I returned, guess what? My work was erased and I was at start. 😡

I’ve had FotoRus for years, but I rarely used it. I only used it when I wanted that clown wig, which I can’t find anymore. FotoRus is too old to have this many obvious problems. LINE Camera app is far superior for photo editing & collages, although it doesn’t have as many free stickers. They offer cute stickers and frames for sale though. They also have cute camera filters. It really has almost everything you could need. It’s been my go-to app for years.

I don’t mind the update once a while but I’m disappointed when I learned that in FotoRus took down the color of pitch black for the background when making collage. I’ve been using FotoRus since my boys were born last April. I use pitch black for the background when making collage so I can put down the white words monthly when they get older and they aren’t even one year old yet. I feel so lost without the pitch black. They have dark gray but that’s not what I want. I don’t understand why would they take away the color of pitch black after the upgrade. They should leave all of the colors even after upgrade. 😕 I’m feeling sad.

this app WAS a great app, but now… not so much. I normally use the the magazine option for collages & was able to touch the blue “more” arrow ⬇️. Doing that would provide MANY additional collage options & I could scroll right or left between those additional classic, object, etc., collage templates. All of the sudden, touching the blue arrow takes me to a blank blue area, with no additional templates. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling this app twice, but those additional templates no longer appear. So instead of having maybe upwards of 50 collage template options, I now have maybe have about 10. What’s up with that? PLEASE fix this issue.

The font tool has been stripped down and you removed so many features that made it great. You can no longer pick the shadow color you want, you took away a lot of the fill colors for fonts. You still haven’t fixed the font box to auto align so it makes if very difficult to straighten text once it’s altered. Would also be nice to do more then one font box at a time so you can play with placement easier.

Still like FotoRus but the font tool need fixing.

FotoRus is pretty simple to use and intuitive, with some real solid features....but when it updated versions a few months back they lost the ability to backspace text written onto a photo and then the letters stopped appearing at all as it was just one block of white. While it’s only one failed feature verses many that work well, it’s one that I used often enough that losing functionality made me invest in another photo app.

Its easy to use and had several nice options in the free version and that's saying something because many free apps I've tried don't even have one decent free option. However when I declined to review FotoRus after few minutes of use because I was in the middle of creating a collage, it seemed to freeze, so here I am completing her of you and hoping that when I get back to FotoRus it is restored to its original usability. If I get back to FotoRus and find that it continues to seem "buggy" I'll return to update this review and my rating of FotoRus accordingly.

With the last update it is no longer “ads free” and there is no way to purchase the “Unlock Everything” again... Any advice ?? Also Please fix the Stickers to actually load.... if you are working on it, I have no problem waiting a little bit because overall it is one of my favorite apps, but I get no response when I ask about this even on your Facebook, I will give it a few more weeks and if things aren’t fixed or no response I will just have to move on to another app :(

Love the portrait enhancement function and the outcome of the edited picture, but wished that it allows you to go to certain albums (ex: favorites) instead of giving you access to the all photos in your camera roll and you have to scroll down to select the pic you want to edit and scroll down to select another pic again. It’s hard to see with a small icon which picture to edit.

I love FotoRus and use it regularly. Only disappointing thing was when it required a review in order for me to continue using it. That being said, from a business perspective, you want people to review your product and most people don't feel like wasting their time doing it. I understand them wanting to make a requirement to get people to review FotoRus .

FotoRus may be old and the reviews were from 2 years ago or 1 year ago but is still pretty decent. I REALLY love the collage option, especially the nice creative frame patterns like the checkered one. Personally many apps would use a color wheel. I absoloutely LOVE the magazine and postcard type. It's very creative. In pro edit, it had just rose up to so many levels. I LOVE all the super cute filters like Pink & Coffee. I also like the text, even though it may be hard to type straight sentences. It has many font types and color types. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the stickers! The rose gold and harajuku style ones are my favorites. There's even Snapchat filter stickers which I find cool. I love how it has columns of different types like Words and Decoration. Really creative. I LOVE mosiac too! It has the blur effect and I love how it has the design of the collage frames. I LOVE light pen! You can just choose a pen and just move your finger around your photo and it makes magic. I like the firework line and the the pink and white little orb thingies. I don't use PaintLab & Beauty though. But I reccomend FotoRus to all editors. I suggest using Pro Edit and Collage the most. I love FotoRus and I think you will too!

I have used this application over the years as it has advanced, changed names and perfected its style. It is a 💯% number one go to for anything you need done regarding pictures, beauty filters, collages, etc... you’ll never need another app again, and I haven’t even made a purchase yet!!

I have tons of photo & video editing apps as I love playing with pictures and consider myself an amateur photographer/artist. I am actually a lawyer so with an undergrad degree in art ) so you can imagine which one is more fun. Given how little time I have I appreciate how much you can do with FotoRus in such short a time and how beautiful the pictures turn out. The person or people who put this together must put a tremendous amount of time into creating each unique frame or frames or the various Color and shape changes which are available is user-friendly is an understatement. If you enjoy playing with photos and having more at your fingertips and you'll probably ever use then you should definitely get FotoRus. I have been using FotoRus for over a month before writing your review until I was sure that it was as good as I initially thought. It is even better. It continues to improve, adding new images to use to fit every occasion. Keep up the good work!

I'm so happy that I got FotoRus. I've been loving it since I upload it. But I have a question for the admin. 👉🏻 "How can I create an account for FotoRus. Because I'm planning to upgrade my phone, and I don't want to loose any of my images which are placed in secret album." That's the only question I have. I highly recommend FotoRus to others who haven't upload it yet.

Im giving 5 starts because I LOVE it’s Beauty’s tools! The eye bag removal, whiten teeth and foundation application are the best tools of its kind! I’ve searched for photo apps that could remove my eye bags and it’s been hard, this one totally saves my selfies.
I just wish they’d launch an update to optimize the UI on iPhone X and beyond because some buttons get hidden because of the bigger screen. Oh and please keep FotoRus going or I’ll be doomed.🤣🤣

Hi! I have had this app for a few years and I LOVE FotoRus, but can you maybe do an update to where you can add things to videos like text, filters, and stickers? And what happened to where I would go to the pic icon and it would be kinda like snap filters? I wish you guys would take my questions into consideration and doing a quick update!! Thx!😊😊

by Welcome Back Joss!

This is a really great all-around photo app! It does just about everything, so it’s a good go-to for a quick edit, or even a not-so-quick one. The beauty editor is easy and quick, the collage is super easy, and I like the filters as well. I mostly use the proedit, just for adding text and stickers, frames, lighting, etc. There’s a few things it could do better, and a few things I wish it had that it doesn’t. But, I’d say that it is about an 8.5/10 as is. ***An added bonus is that it has rarely [maybe 2-3 times ever, but it’s been a long time] crashed on me, which is nice because I hate having something almost done and losing it because FotoRus locks up!

I’m just an every day picture taker, I LOVE taking photos, but dont have a good camera so my IPhone X is what I use and I always have an additional editing app. I love how simple this app is to use, yet you’re given a really good selection of edits, detailed edits like lighting, sharpness, balance, and so much more than that! And the BEST thing about FotoRus is ITS FREE! No hidden charges and no in app purchases that you HAVE to buy in order to get the best parts of FotoRus !! It’s FREE! It’s perfect for the editing I do!! Others that are more experienced may disagree, but for an “every day” photographer (mostly pics of my family and get togethers, tons of my kiddos!!) it’s totally perfect!
Actually I haven’t even explored much into several other options that can be used in FotoRus because I don’t know enough about photography. I really feel FotoRus would be awesome for a photographer at any stage of experience! Thanks this app!! Keep up the great work!!
