Photo Editor- Reviews

by SOPHIETHEUNICORNGIRL

Ok, the developers of PhotoEditor DEFINITELY made a mistake on how PhotoEditor is gonna be. I understand, yes, everyone can see this is a photo editing app. Yes, it has SOME of the features, some could be unique. But, what I’m asking is: “Do these features make the photos look good?” The answer is: “No. they don’t.” Ok, yes, people who never had any BETTER photo editing app, like picsart, facetune 2, or anything else better thinks PhotoEditor is the “best photo editing app out there!” And wastes their money on pro version. No, I have picsart, and I like to look for photo editing apps with blemish removal features, filters, or stuff to make your face and body look better. PicsArt did a WAY better job then this, I can tell this is almost a copy of the BETTER photo editing apps. The blemish removal feature did NOTHING! PhotoEditor also barley has ANY useful features, and not that much to use in editing photos either. I used to think about PhotoEditor, “ PhotoEditor is good!” Now I think about PhotoEditor, “ PhotoEditor is HORRIBLE.” This game has higher reviews then roblox almost... What a thing to believe being fake! You need to make improvements, or I’ll just stick with PicsArt, having more and more useful features. Bye, whoever reads this will realize they ALSO made a huge mistake buying pro version with this.

I’m a digital artist, and in my search for an app that can allow me to put in text over top a blurred image—for censorship sake of mild gore or sensitive themes—, this is the first available free one I could find. For those purposes, I’d say it’s functional, but barely so. Placing text was my biggest frustration. I spent about an hour or so just trying to put a simple trigger warning that would fit properly over the image, and when it would change from what the “final” version looked like, it would change the size and font of the text I’d just put in. Then instead of being able to slightly edit that from PhotoEditor ’s mistake, I would have to start all over. It would also be very useful if there was a “straighten text” function, as it annoyed me that it could be slightly crooked after you enlarged or shrank it. If you have the patience for this, maybe PhotoEditor could work for you. But for the text function specifically, it got to be irritating for me.

I just made the mistake of paying for the pro upgrade for $6.99.
I’m supposed to have no ads or watermarks etc.
So far, I appear to not have watermarks, but I’ve got ads everywhere and can’t seem to get rid of them.
When I try to edit a photo from my camera roll, using the add text feature is a nightmare. Fitting it to the background is stupid and I can’t change the color of the font. It’s just...white. Plus if I want to go back to continue editing the text after going to any other feature, I really can’t. I have to start over or start another text box.
Moving from feature to feature is irritating. I have free photo editors that offer more features (color changing texts, adding text, lots of coloring and general personalization.
I’m not sure what I’m missing. If I go to settings, it shows the pro upgrade as on, but I’m not getting any cool features at all.
Just a clumsy photo editing app that literally won’t let me edit photos.
I’m not sure what I paid for. A bunch of backgrounds I don’t care about, and a few extra font?
The biggest crapper is that the ads are still everywhere and sometimes block the editing feature buttons that do the most basic nothing things anyway.

PLEASE FIX THIS.
If I’m missing how to access all the great features advertised, please advise.

Don’t waste your money. You can get better features for free if you look around.

I’ve been editing photos of my dog who just passed away a few days ago, and half a dozen times I’ve completed a picture that I think is perfect and then I save it. But it just has a blank white screen in my photos that was supposed to be the pics. So I’ve had to start screenshotting my work before I hit save. Because it also exits you from the picture when you hit save and you can’t get back into where you left off. Not impressed with the “pro” version either. Not a lot of options for stickers or frames. Just meh.

Edit: I have just downgraded to 1 star because I have the privacy set to ONLY selected photos and I just opened PhotoEditor up and there are ALL 1,000+some of my pictures from my phone with all of the albums. I double checked in my settings it’s still set to Selected Only and shows 243 photos that I have selected for use in PhotoEditor . But I can’t get the other 1000 pictures out of the photo editor. Very angry.

This is one of the worst apps I have ever used simply because it has a severely unuserfriendly ui, lack of features such as multiple layer, cutouts, lack of stickers, and overall trivial feature, if you are in the market for a good software go to Bazaart it has all of the features listed about from cutouts to hundreds of filters, colors, multiple layers, and is overall easier and more friendly to use while still remaining affordable for most people. It is not bad for a start but it is nearly 7 years old and should not still operate at a preschool level. When you make these changes I will consider upping the review however this is terrible and a waste of money to premium users who are able to get more collages which there is a workaround to anyway I used to love it when I was 8 but I’m not stupid anymore and can use complex systems I hope you make these changes as it makes for usable software.

Had PhotoEditor on my iphones for a number of years. Let’s just say, it was “ok”. About a month or so ago, after an update, I suddenly noticed a number of the items, “Effects”, etc, weren’t there. Saw the area to download them again, whatever that means because they had always been within PhotoEditor before. But no matter what I’ve done to get that accomplished, the little “circle”‘either just keeps turning (supposedly downloading that item,) OR it tells something to the effect of, “Sorry, ... etc etc... has occurred, please try again”. OR, “Couldn’t complete action because you are not connected to the internet.” ** I’m always connected to the internet.

Been messing with it again today but gave up because I reminded myself, “Is this worth messing with again?”. My answer was no.

This is a decent photo editor, especially for a free app version, but it’s far too glitchy to be taken seriously. If it were more reliable, I would’ve already upgraded by purchasing the full version.

What do I mean by glitchy? Well, PhotoEditor will randomly close on me while I’m crafting an image, deleting all progress. The first time this happened, I learned my lesson & saved all along the way, hoping that would combat the frustration from lost work the next time it inevitably closed. That works about half of the time; the other half of the time PhotoEditor won’t actually save my work, even if I obsessively save/apply changes in multiple layers. It’s very frustrating to lose work, even if it’s just a few minutes.

There are plenty of photo apps out there, so I’ll definitely check out others. Since this works half the time, I gave it a little over half of the stars available, siding w/the plus side. When PhotoEditor does work, it helps even artistic noobs like me create fanciful images w/ease.

I still suggest giving PhotoEditor a try, but I wouldn’t spend money on it until the kinks are worked out. (And by the way, the kinks existed before the newest versions of the iPhone, back when my current phone was the newest one, so the issues aren’t related to the iOS nor the compatibility w/newer iPhone models.)

I love PhotoEditor! I use it all the time! The only complaints I have is that after you click done when you are still editing you can’t change your mind and take that sticker out cause it doesn’t go or move that heart over because it’s off center. And you have to do things in order and by that I mean you have to put the heart on first if you want to write your names over it (there isn’t the option to click behind or front). Then the last and most important thing is while you are editing you get these pop up ads that promote PhotoEditor to upgrade. It makes total sense that they would put that but it covers the buttons so you can’t click on anything to edit. I’m getting really frustrated with that because I can’t edit anymore when that comes up and there is no option of x-ing out of it. Any tips? Or do I just have to upgrade to fully use PhotoEditor ? (I’m cheap and that is not going to happen.)

Hi! PhotoEditor is great! Maybe the Pro version won’t be worth it, but the free version is awesome. To SOPHIETHEUNICORNGIRL, I would take your horrible review more seriously if there weren’t so many grammatical errors, and you’re just talking about the pro version. Plus, picsart is WAY 2 glitchy. I love how the “pro editing” is free, unlike most ‘editing apps’ (yeah right) only have filters. This is legit the best editing app ever, and I DEFINITELY recommend you get it.

The only sad part is whenever I try to download it into my photos, (mayb its just pro version not classic version, I don’t know) it saves the stickers, but the background is completely white. Blank. So I can only screenshot my masterpiece.

I would recommend this to people who don’t know much about editing, lazy people, or even professional photographers/editors.

I am giving PhotoEditor four stars, because an app needs to be truly excellent to get five stars. The reason for taking off one star is that the pro version is actually worse, in my opinion, then the classic version. If you wish to draw on a photo there are fewer colors for drawing, Apple Pencil is not a smooth, causing brakes in lines and several other problems. Hopefully they will keep the classic version until they can improve the pro version enough to make it worth paying for in a monthly fee. As a graphic artist it is important to me to be able to edit photos in a photo app with ease and a variety of excellent functions and tools on my ipad. This photo editor app does come very close to being one of the best. Just not the pro version.

I like PhotoEditor a lot, it has a lot of great features that are really fun and help out a bit with photo editing, great if you are making arty flyers for your band. Which is pretty much what I use it for. It's also great for making an arty photo look more... arty! The filters are rad, and PhotoEditor is super easy to use!

My only complaint would be, if you are adding text to anything, once you settle on your font and all that stuff and hit the "apply" option the font no longer looks as sharp as it did when editing it. Sure you can hit the sharpen function, but if you already used that function, your photo may start to look grainy or pixelated, being a spiteful arty jerk, this keeps me from giving this otherwise outstanding app a 5 star rating

by Kjsdup

I have had PhotoEditor for years, I have tried a lot of photo editors and always end up going back to this one! I did love it, which is why I didn't rate it lower... I also would be giving it 5 stars but it just isn't there right now. I would like to see the blur tool go back to what it did; it was a great tool and now It's not as manually accurate. I also liked the teeth whitener because it looked natural, it gradually got brighter & whiter... now it's so paper white that it ruins the photo. Also recently PhotoEditor crashes before I can save... but unfortunately after I have put a ton of work into editing a photo. Please if you (the makers) read these reviews... make these changes work like they did prior to update!

I love PhotoEditor! There’s just one problem, it won’t let you do a few things unless you pay a lot of money!. This is such a fun app and I would recommend it if you really really love photography and photo editing. If you don’t really love photo photography or editing photos then I would not recommend getting PhotoEditor because it’s not worth it probably. I love photography and photo editing that’s why I got PhotoEditor and it is amazing but it won’t let me do a lot of things because you have to upgrade it all the time! So that’s why I read it a four-star I wish I could do a 3 1/2 star but they don’t do that so I’m just gonna give it a four-star out of five.

I love PhotoEditor but why make people pay to use the pro editor!
I was using it a minute ago to edit a really good photo on the pro. Then once I finished it I forgot to press save or what ever it is (you should also make it save automatically like Google docs) so I go back on PhotoEditor because I remember what I do to the picture and I would not let me back In the pro!!! And I am not going to pay for an app so yes I tried the classic one and I could not do what I did on the pro! Why even make people pay. I do not want to pay for an app be abuse also I am 10 years old. So I loved it until this. So I will still use the classic part of it, but I will have to find another app.

by Brins Mommy

I've downloaded I don't know how many editing apps to edit my infant daughters pictures.... Finally stumbled upon this one and it's everything I need and more!!!! I would recommend it to anyone. The effects, filters, editing tools are awesome... The ONLY thing I recommend is to add frames and stickers that would aim at Momma's: age stickers(months/years), milestone stickers(smile, teeth, crawling, walking, etc), and maybe a 'love' package Mommy's girl/boy princess/prince, a mother's love. Because I do have another app I use for those type things. I had to pay a small fee to access all of the sticker packages, and I would be willing to do so on PhotoEditor as well!

by 😝🤪😘crazy

If you have an iPhone then you’ll know what I’m talking about. If you ever try to edit one of our photos, it deletes the original. If you don’t like what you made then, you can’t go back. This always makes me SO MAD!! PhotoEditor allows you to create what you want, delete things, and keeps the original picture too!! I love PhotoEditor!! It’s actually really addicting too. I didn’t think I was going to use it very often but I love using it and I do all the time!! When you use PhotoEditor, it passes the time. So if you were ever at your brothers baseball game, bring your device and do what is so fun!! I would recommend PhotoEditor!!

by I Just Want A Good App!!

Ok hear me out... I have only had PhotoEditor for about a week and man! There are not many photo editing app out there that do not ask you to pay every 5 seconds. PhotoEditor only ask you that when you do click on the premium version when choosing your picture. I do not feel any need to spend extra money in the Pro because I am NOT a Pro😂. The classic version of PhotoEditor supplies everything I need. One thing I was particularly interested in was to see if the blemish tool worked. Let me tell you, it did I know longer have any acne in any of my selfies😊! Thank you for creating PhotoEditor!

by C6/Z06

Literally this is one of my two favorite mobile photo editing apps ever! The free version is awesome the paid version is equally awesome. What I like about the free version is that the tools are easier to discern… They’re not quite so tiny as in the pro version or subscription version. I actually use the classicFree version most of the time and when I need extra editing I use the pro subscription version. For the subscription version, I wish the tool icons were a little larger so they would be easier to identify but that’s about my only complaint. One terrific app… Two terrific versions!

by Lane5673

been using PhotoEditor to make custom memes for friends & family for years now. i’m no tech expert but this lil baby (+ occasionally an app for making things transparent) lets me make all the changes i need for a gag to come together more or less as i envisioned it. doesn’t take too long to do most stuff and this is all on Classic Version, not Pro! can’t tell you how many hyper specific jokes PhotoEditor has helped me pull off. can’t recommend it enough if you enjoy harassing your loved ones with personalized meme creations. no idea how well it works for like, touching up selfies or whatever, but if you’re the funny friend who cares what your selfies look like.

by DoeDoe93

I've been using PhotoEditor for about one year, and I have zero complaints. Once you select the photo(s) you want to edit, you choose whether you want to use the classic(free) editor of the pro (paid) editor. I use both each time because they each have all kinds of useful tools. Honestly, I forgot that I even had the paid pro version and was using the classic free version for a couple months. It has lots of stuff and even better, it's not obnoxiously showing you all the stuff that is locked if you didn't pay for the other version. You click on classic, only the classic tools show up on the to bar. And vice versa. That goes a long way with me since most apps these days are so ridiculously desperate and greedy and just pathetic. This one is a keeper for sure.

I recently got PhotoEditor and when I first started using it, it was great. Everything was working fine and there was no issues. Until about a week ago. I was editing one of my photos for a really long time and then suddenly, it kicked me out of PhotoEditor . I went back into PhotoEditor hoping it had saved everything that I had done to the photo, but it didn’t. I was extremely frustrated but I still kept using PhotoEditor . It started happening more often, and I had wasted so much time editing photos that just got deleted. I still want to use PhotoEditor, but I can’t if it’s going to keep doing this over and over again. I’m going to have to delete PhotoEditor if it doesn’t get fixed because I’m not wasting my time editing a photo that just keeps getting deleted.

by Tgdovic2

I’d give PhotoEditor 5 stars because I love it, but it stops working all the time. I’ve been using PhotoEditor for about a year and have loved it until recently. It crashes and blanks out while I’m editing, thus losing everything I’ve done to the photo up to that point. I have to edit and save after everything I do to the photo before PhotoEditor crashes. It is frustrating having to re-edit the same photo over and over again. I force close PhotoEditor , start again, only to have it happen again and again. Is there some kind of update you can do to fix this issue??

by So Shaken

Okay so i usually love using PhotoEditor. I love all the features and great effects. It does wonders for little touch ups here and there. But here lately it’s been driving me crazy with all the ads and worse it crashes while using. I usually touch up multiple pictures at a time when taking pictures of my daughter and for some reason after I had already edited one picture then click done to go to the next it freezes up and then closes it without saving any progress making me start over!! I do love using PhotoEditor but the bugs in it is making me want to delete and use a different one. Please fix

by Sjdiehd

So I’ll start off by saying when PhotoEditor works well, I rather enjoy it. But countless times I’ll have dedicated a long time to edit a picture and click “done” to finish and save the work and PhotoEditor closes and never saves the edited picture. I’ll have to reopen PhotoEditor and start completely all over again. I even updated PhotoEditor this morning before I did any editing. Please fix this, it’s very frustrating...I wrote the previous statement like a year and a half ago (I found that I guess I never submitted it?) anyways..PhotoEditor STILL closes. Just today I had to edit a picture 4 times because it kept closing.

by Lynn Simon2

This is a great tool!! Especially to enhance and clarify maps and directions. The tools within PhotoEditor are fantastic!!
I do have a suggestion, or two. There should be shapes (a star, an arrow, a circle-both solid and hollow, etc.) and they should be setup like “text” is; with different fonts, different thicknesses, size and location variable, different colors, etc. Also, it would be great to be able to use tools for a particular place in the photo as well as the entire photo itself, such as focus, enhance, or shade.
Great app! I love it and find it very useful!

I have an iPhone 6s. Archaic, I know. This works well for most pictures. There are so many photo editing apps out there & this is a good overall editor. It would be great if there was an intuitive, instant editor setting to click on. To be able to tweak it further if you so choose would be good for those of us that tend toward perfectionism. That said, It gives a fair amount of control & it makes significant improvement to most pics. I spend way too much time doing it though, hyper-focus issues occasionally. Pardon the pun. Moments I cannot get back. What to do? C'est la vie.

by Tayrock12

Please fix this, for the love of god. It is the most frustrating thing there is to deal with in PhotoEditor, and the service itself is a 5/5, its perfect, but the fact that I have to gamble every time I save an image to see if my 10-15 minutes of work is lost or saved is enough to make PhotoEditor a 1/5. I even got the paid version, fixed nothing. The only work-around seems to be save the image every few edits, so when it doesn't save you can open up a previous save.

So I'm a mother who loves to share photos of my kids to my family and friends. I take a lot of pictures and I love to edit with special effects and all.

I wanted an app that had everything in it and I don't like to use so many apps. PhotoEditor is by far the most amazing editor I have come across. It has everything you want in it. Plus with the new update it has frames. I mean come on!! lol it's perfect for me and now I can do a lot of things with the photos and send to my family. Good job you guys.

by Unknown_3069

It worked so well! It had so many options, everything worked great. It had a meme setting too! Haha. It whitened and you could blur and adjust anything you wanted! I would definitely recommend this for your Social Media pictures or quick touch ups! I usually don’t leave reviews, but this is astounding! Plus, there’s no annoying watermarks, you can edit and save your photo and it’s so easy and fun! Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend anything else, this is incredible! It’s not the most high end editing app, but for something that’s free & simple, I was blown away! Definitely a 5-star app. 😍
