4.1 out of 5
Why a one star review for a perfect product?

Because it keeps repeatedly spamming me to review it and it is my prerogative not to as I already pay you monthly for the product. It should leave me alone and let me do my work. So since you DEMAND that I review your product that I already subscribe to before I can continue to use it, I will. I purchased this product PERMANENTLY at a set price when it first came out which the company later illegally RENEGED on to charge me a monthly fee in order to use. It is now several hundred dollars to use it permanently, even though I already paid to use it permanently when the price was much cheaper. This, doubled with the fact that your product will not leave me alone until I write a review is why what should be a five star product gets ONE star. How do you like your review guys? Was that algorithm you used to force your users to review worth it? I’ll change it to five if you 1) Stop the product from bothering me to review it and 2) give me access to the permanent working product which I already paid for yet am still charged a monthly fee to have access to. If there is a reply from the company below this before my review has changed to five stars please know that the person answering this post absolutely knows the company is shady and still is just trying to give you lip service with absolutely no intention of fixing the issues, making them a liar, so don’t believe a word they say.

Takes away previously free features

I have used Glitché since 2016. Glitché used to have plenty of fun free features, but the paid ones seemed very cool as well. I have used Glitché consistently until about 2021. After that, I took a hiatus and came back today to find that some of the free features I had used for years are now behind a paywall. In addition, there is an insanely overt watermark, when this was not previously there as of 2021! This is very disappointing as a user of 8 years. If you continue to innovate, keep the free features and then add more to the paid tier! Id even be happy to watch ads to get the free filters I’ve used for 8 years and have less obvious watermarks. Just feels very cheap and disappointing, especially because a vast majority of your user base will not be willing to pay $5 a week or $35 a year for features that were previously free to them. This is coming from someone who has loved Glitché since 2016, I love what Glitché does and I genuinely want it to be better. Or at least what it used to be a mere 3 years ago. Put ads in for the free folks! I don’t care.

I would like a request for a refund

I have bought Glitché in the hope of paying another $2.99 for the In-App Purchase to get Hi-Res Export feature. I have a screenshot of App Information page on Glitché Store recorded January 6th, 2019 which shows that in the “Information  In-App Purchases” there is an $2.99 item for “Hi-Res Export”. However, inside the actual application you must pay for Glichè Pro Subscription to have such option and there is no Hi-Res Export option as In-App Purchase.
And now when I checked the application information, officially, they have removed In-App Purchase and selling the Pro version with Subscription plan. This is a trick from the Developer giving wrong information and misleading the customer. I never bought Glitché if I was aware of the Subscription Plan or if there is not In-App Purchase option, proper information must be given in the Application Information. A lot of customers are having the same issue and they have reported.
Now I am requesting for a refund.

Why are so many developers doing this?

They are undermining their success, ruining their reputation by alienating & angering a once loyal & dedicated customer user base. All to make a quick buck. Myself, like many other user-patrons, have long ago paid for premium services or to have ads removed. And then suddenly out rolls the latest update with its Subscription based services and all of those previous payments are negated. Now we have to pay again, and usually considerably more money for many of the features that we already paid for. Is this not fraud? Bait and Switch? False advertising? It wouldn't surprise me to see this eventually unfold into a class action lawsuit. Apple could be complicit as well for allowing it. I could be mistaken as I am not a lawyer, but even if what they are doing is legal, it still seems unethical and bad business.

Come on Developers! Do the right thing! You had a fantastic app here with a base of users who would gladly pay for your next great app. Lose the subscription, give us back the original Glitch and roll out Glitch2. Make it bigger and better. You will have a lot of happy customers instead of ex-customers. I for one will applaud your efforts and gladly pay for another app; even for a Subscription.

She said Hoopla

All the salt about the subscription thing aside, Glitché has just stopped working for me. It won’t render or export my videos properly. I figure this is to do with the new update and hope the people behind this will at least let us non-subscription plan money having people use some of the features, and FIX this. I mean Glitché used to be my go to and somehow since making this subscription thing it has just gone down the toilet. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the need to make money off your totally brilliant product but y’all were on one with this subscription plan hoopla and even further on one with Glitché imploding on top of that. Loyalty is two ways y’all, we can’t be expected to remain in this camp if you’re not keeping us warm. Like dang I can’t even use it without the subscription even though I was one of the early adopters to willingly shell out coin? Man. Saying goodbye to this might hurt but for sure it’ll hurt less than the ~$40 dollars for an apparently poorly functioning product, y’all are asking.

Frequently freezes and causes me to lose work

Without fail at least once per month I will be unable to finish my work because Glitché crashes every time I click the forward arrow to get to the screen to save the video. It happens randomly for no discernible reason.

It always persists no matter what effect I use, how many time I close and re open Glitché , or even if I fully shut down my phone and restart it. Then when I try using Glitché to do the exact same thing just a few days later it inexplicably works even though nothing has changed. However this time it hasn’t fixed itself and this is day 4 of having the issue…

I have submitted complaints to the company before about this same issue and there have been no bug fixes at all. I wish they cared more about fixing this because I rely on glitche for certain effects in my projects often and it seriously messes up productions when Glitché won’t work for no reason.

Very overrated. Wish I didn't buy.

Have seen some neat photos made with Glitché, so I bought it. I've been quite disappointed so far.

Most features are still locked and need to be bought even AFTER you've paid a dollar for Glitché . A lot of these features should be included without extra charge, and there shouldn't be another fee just to download HD versions of your photos. What an absolute ripoff.

Secondly, Glitché crashes so much that it's hardly useable. Only about five photo filters will work without issue, all the others cause Glitché to crash each and every time.

To sum it up, don't spend your money on Glitché. The 99cents doesn't include most features that you'd assume wouldn't need to be extra $$. It's developed horribly meaning constant crashes and freezes. I use it on my iPod 5th gen, but it does the same on my friends iPhone 6. Other reviews for even newer devices have these problems too. Badly done app and too costly for what it does.

If you own photoshop on your computer, you can get similar effects by downloading free ACTIONS, which are presets you install that enable you to choose a photo, press a button and boom, glitchy cool effects. Just google Glitch actions photoshop. Plenty out there.

Still doesn’t work great 10 years on

I’ve been using Glitché and putting up with some harsh usability issues because the tools it provides are really that useful. After using Glitché for 10 years I finally decided to pay for the team’s hard work, and good on them for offering a permanent license instead of shafting everyone with a subscription.

But I pay for pro in the middle of a project, and still can’t save in high res. My mistake, let’s restart and make a unique approximation of the project. Oh? A pop up survey to ask if I like Glitché ? Well, I just forked over a lot of money, and I’m kind of in the middle of something. How about never serve me a pop up survey? Never ever ever. My point is it broke the UI and I had to start over a third time. My mistake for paying up.

Original but...

I discovered Glitché a while ago but didn't know if it was worth purchasing. After seeing that so many pictures I loved on Instagram were edited with Glitché, I decided to install it. After paying 0,99$, Glitché enables many editing features for the pictures in your camera roll but you need to pay extra in order to edit videos. After turning my picture into a little masterpiece, I saved it in my camera roll only to realize the quality downgraded A LOT. I thought it was a bug but saw that you need to pay 2,99$ to save the pictures in high resolution. I'm very disappointed with Glitché. It had so much potential and it should warn everyone that you need to pay a lot more if you want everything unlocked. I wish I could give it 3 and a half stars because it is still a very cool editing app but the fact that I have to pay extra for the quality of the final pic is simply outrageous.

Premium Apps Come at Premium Prices

This review would be 5 stars, but a few filters in Glitché are buggy and don’t produce the preview when rendered to the final image/video you save. The pixel filter is one of them. Scaling a photo or video warps it in a way that doesn’t match the preview. The 3d feature is cool, I wish I could import my own model.

Other than the above, the amount of power packed into this streamlined app is astounding. The premium features are a bit pricey, but given you could use this to create professional-quality videos, I think it’s worth it. If you’re new to it, familiarize yourself with the free features first. It’s pretty easy to use for beginners, but does have a decent learning curve and takes time to master.

Very happy

I got Glitché because I was bored and I didn’t think it would be good but I end up using it three times a day. The only thing I would change is the in app purchases it was very frustrating getting done with the edits and then realizing I had to pay for it. But I know what your doing, making Glitché 3 dollars instead of 13 so that people will get it thinking it’s cheap but it’s not. But it’s still a shady thing to do so make your app 13 dollars or tell people who are buying it more openly that you have to pay another 9 dollars

Pretty good but there are some bumps

You have to pay more than the original .99 cents to use this full of Glitché along with exporting full quality apparently. Up to $9 I believe which I was not personally thrilled about however I do enjoy all the features. I only have a few complaints. If you wish to add text there is only one font option and I can't seem to resize it or move it around the screen which kind of tilts me. Also with the video filter with the date, I can't move the date to a corner of the screen making it more like a recording anyway, it takes up the whole screen. Other than that I am relatively happy with it, and I hope they continue to update it added more effects and texts and such.

Review update

So I still love Glitché and the improvements to it have been vast. It doesn’t crash anymore, you can easily layer your effects, and basically have loads of fun with it if you wish. Like many others however I find issue with the subscription payment. Even though I find Glitché useful I don’t use that much to garner the cost of a continuous fee. I’d gladly pay for the extra features if it was a one time payment, but since it’s not I’m just going to act like they don’t even exist. That said Glitché is still really wonderful even without the extra feature the subscription would provide you and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experiment and have fun with their images.

Had this app for YEARS, continues to improve

I’ve had Glitché for a few years. Only paid a few bucks for it and enjoyed it at first use.
Took a break from it for a maybe two years only to find out Glitché has more more features the quality has improved exponentially!!! Besides the the many excellent photo doctoring/editing features, I have made
insane little movies from my dull videos.
They generally say, “you get what you pay for” but you’re getting much more for the few bucks you’ll pay for Glitché. It’s apparent more features will increase as will the quality for years to come. What a gem of an app!

Can’t restore purchases

I’m subscribed to the one month pro subscription. When I try to use pro functions it pops up the most annoying and frustrating pop up I’ve ever experience. “A go to for any modern professional photographer” and I bought it just so I didn’t have to hear that again. I was at 5 stars but until I can get what I’m currently and will be continuing to pay for (cause I’m an idiot and hopeful they will fix this soon) it’s gunna stay that way. If I could give it 0 stars for its current state I would. I love Glitché and am very displeased. I use it once in a blue moon, and although I’ve been paying for a year now. And maybe used it 20 or so times. I can’t. I haven’t used it in a long time and now I still can’t. Thanks for nothing (as of right now)

Edit: it’s really tiny on the this app pro pop up on the bottom right corner. Super tiny. Super super tiny. Maybe I should have looked. Like stated above I’m an idiot.

I want to give this app 5 stars...

Glitché is awesome The effects are unlike anything I’ve ever seen in any other app. I’ve been able to achieve some crazy visuals in less than 10 minutes. I use it a ton and it’s definitely worth the subscription in my opinion.

The only problem I have is that Glitché still has so much potential to be even better. For one, the way you control the effects doesn’t seem like it had a ton of thought put into it, since it’s mostly just sliders that are too small to get things looking the way you want. I think that precision editing could be vastly improved especially on small screens like phones with just a little more thought into the design.

Some of the other controls are unintuitive as well, especially with the Sphere effect. In general it’s really hard to control things precisely the way you want.

If the this app team redesigned Glitché to make it easier to use, I would give Glitché five stars in a heartbeat. I really hope the developers see this because Glitché has so much potential to be perfect. Also, PLEASE make a macOS version. I would pay big bucks for that.

CAN I GET SOME HELP

I only wrote this 5 stars so somebody might actually see this, I really need help. I was able to edit one video and save it to my camera roll, now I can't even get to the saving option I edit the video fine, press next, press next again and it loads forever, like never finishes I sat there 2 hours it still was loading. Now you may think reset your phone turn it on and off again, so I did...multiple times, cleared it from my multi-tasking folder things it still doesn't seem to get to that save page anymore. I just bought it, and paid 2.99 extra used it all of one time! if this is a bug please, please, please fix it I really just want to use it. Any help or response would be greatly appreciated.

Amazing Glitch Editor

I’m one of those people who doesn’t write reviews very often, but I felt I had to write a review for Glitché. This is some of the most advanced technology I think I’ve seen with any photo/video editing app in a long time. As a person who does deep editing myself, I know how much time it takes to make certain glitch effects come to life, nevertheless actually available as a preset for users to stick on to any photo or video. Such labor-some edits available at the press of a button isn’t something that should be taken for granted here folks...this is truly amazing stuff. Technology at its finest. The price may be a little costly, perhaps to some, but in comparison to the time, learning, and money you would have to spend to purchase the software to do some of this stuff yourself, it’s worth every penny - hands down. Put things into perspective.

To the developer team; yes, it would’ve been nice to know the full price of things up front, but I also understand the psychology of marketing so that’s that. You guys have made an absolutely awesome app here and I look forward to using this for my creative purposes. Amazing work.

Changed my life

Glitché has many flaws, but the creativity it allows is mind-opening. First you must get passed the learning curve and the design issues with features like GIF creator. Glitché allows you to turn any image or video into a virtual glitch-filled wonderland. I look forward to taking pictures and editing them with this software. It’s changed my perspective on seemingly daunting effects. I find myself looking for artwork with glitches. Recently I’ve been using Glitché just as a creative outlet or to get a rough idea of how I’d like to edit an image in photoshop. My biggest issue is the reduced quality of images when exported. I can input a vector image with 300 ppi at HD resolution, yet when I export the image it is pixelated. This loss of quality limits the usage of Glitché.

I love this photo/video manipulator

Glitché, along with Decim8 are my go to photo manipulation apps. The photo and video editing effects are inspiring. I have never used Glitché for subtle editing so I can't comment on that, but if you are looking for glitchy, bold, creative effects, this is probably Glitché for you. You do have to pay for some of the features. To me, the images/videos I have been able to create with Glitché make it well worth the cost. It amazes me the number of people complaining about having to shell out some cash to use all the features. There are plenty of free, inferior apps out there if you don't want to pay. 20 years ago a program that does what Glitché is capable of would have cost a minimum of $50. Now get off my lawn!!!
