AirBrush - AI Photo Editor Reviews

This is the best photo editing app and has some awesome features & tools but the costs have gotten out of control. At the beginning you could basically use almost every feature for free. Then I paid for & added the premium subscription (thinking that it would naturally cover each new additional feature and tool within each new update, after all it is the “premium subscription”). But no that wasn’t enough money and so I paid for 2 individual add on features...so much for the premium... Now you have to pay some absorbent amount for the black feature. I paid for the premium, for 2 separate add on features that should have been included within the premium to begin with but as time has gone on I seem to be losing more features than gaining. At the very least my features should remain the same. Seriously if a person started out with AirBrush from the beginning and paid for the premium, paid for all the add on’s and now the black subscription, you would be shelling out enough money to have your photos gold plated. Finally, I would have thought by now that you would have a feature to bring out the color of your eyes more. Like a lot of times unless you have the perfect angle & lighting it’s hard to capture your true eye color. If you have blue eyes, you can make them more blue for example. It doesn’t seem like that would be very difficult to incorporate.

I absolutely love AirBrush! I went to see a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time the other day. We wanted to take a selfie together but, we weren’t exactly looking our best after 4 months of pandemic! We took the picture and added a little make-up (we each required different make-up) and a filter and we were set! Posted it on FB and let our friends know. I think it’s helpful to have AirBrush for impromptu moments that I would like to share but, may not feel comfortable sharing otherwise. Whether I put my make-up on at home or with the help of an app, I’m grateful for both!

There are so many amazing filters and make-up looks to choose from! I also have a standard setting that I often you for just me that helps with my trouble spots.

I’ve had cystic acne in the past. These days I’m in my 40’s and, although I don’t have the cystic acne to worry with, I do have hormonal acne and very sensitive skin. I don’t always wear make-up or wear very little. It’s nice to know that if I haven’t concealed scars or I’m having a breakout, they don’t have to be front and center of my picture. AirBrush has truly helped me show my face more in pictures!

I love love love this! Makes me look so beautiful, so easy to just add on some fake makeup when I’m to lazy! Also I love how I can edit how much make up is on so that I can make it look really natural! My boyfriend didn’t even notice when I showed him 🤣😍 my favorite is the eye brightening 🤩. I know it can look super fake but I wear the same exact make up look as the “blushed” look, so it’s a convenient go to when you don’t feel like putting on make up for just a few pictures. I recommend setting it at 20-30 when you use the make up because too much looks super fake, but between 20 and 30 is so natural, you can’t even tell. Also if anyone calls you out for being “fake” just know that you are beautiful, and it’s not a crime to enhance your beauty. Some of us are just too lazy to cake our faces for just a few pictures. AirBrush is perfect for when you aren’t going out and wanna take pictures, or if you go out and you notice ur make up is messy, haha don’t worry your picture isn't ruined😊 need a quick touch up before you post? Hope this was helpful and thanks to the creators 🥳💖🤩

AirBrush used to be great. It offered a ton of great features and editing tools. I started using it ~3 years ago. At that time, nearly every tool was free. Now, they’ve added a ton of additional features, but want to charge for every little thing. I don’t have an issue with paying someone for their work. What bothers me is that it started out entirely free. Now, they want to add all these new tools, which aren’t anything special, and clutter up the UI to the point you have to actually double-check what features you’re using and if they’re paid or not. Just make another app for Christ’s sake. this app is a useful beginner-level app. Nothing more. I’d never use it for anything more than basic editing. With all these added features, they’re clearly trying to make it more of a premier, professional-caliber app, but the problem is that a) you can’t do that just by adding some paid features. b) you can’t do that when the paid features you do add, are subpar. c) They want $32/yr for these subpar features. Got news for the team— there are other apps whose quality and capabilities are miles above this app, and some of those apps are cheaper than $32/yr. Subpar tools for $32/yr or advanced tools for less than that? Yeah, I’m gonna choose the second option

This is a great app, even the free version for making edits on images such as selfies but even works well on my advertisement images for my handmade jewelry line. The more you use it the more ways you figure out how it can assist you for whatever your needs are at that time. One feature I really liked was that when I wanted to try a tool that you need to pay for in order to use, they let you go ahead and use it and if you like the results you can then opt to pay a really inexpensive fee for usage of the pro tool indefinitely. It really came in handy and so far I've only upgraded and bought one additional feature for $1.99 and besides that I've been able to photoshop my pics using the basics that come with the free version. Super easy to use and very self explanatory directions on how to use or apply features to your image. I def recommend AirBrush.

I got AirBrush when it came out, almost everything was free even though I don’t mind paying for some things, I will not pay for weekly charges. A one time fee is not so bad. I can’t remember if AirBrush is a one time fee or weekly, however I do remember the fee kept going up. The most important part though, the reason I am deleting AirBrush and have deleted many others is because of the “Privacy Policy” that you HAVE to agree to before you can now even access AirBrush . It says you can change it in your settings but if you do not allow them access you may not be allowed to use their services. So please tell me WHY you or any other app needs my privacy information, to give to 3rd parties but you can’t even guarantee that access (if granted) to my privacy is PROTECTED?? Why do you need to create FACIAL RECOGNITION with my pictures & release of my privacy information? That’s as far as I read before I backed out and said NO WAY! I am deleting AirBrush, I haven’t used it in months and I have never agreed to any kind of privacy policy so I hope you guys haven’t been snooping through my info.

But after this last update, I’m not as fond of it as I used to be. This was my go-to app for all mobile photo editing purposes and it did everything I needed it to. The biggest issue i have with it now that it’s been updated is that I can no longer choose what resolution to save my photos in. I would often take pictures with my phone, edit them pre-update, and save them in the highest resolution possible and they were extremely clear — so much so to the point I could use them for printed media that required high-res photos and have no issues at all. Now if I go to save a photo that I’ve edited, there is only one save button with no resolution options and all of my photos save with poor, pixelated quality that I’d barely be okay with posting on Instagram. On top of that issue, all of the groupings for filters have been removed and you have to now scroll through every single one to find the one you would like to use. It’s quite the downgrade from AirBrush it was previously.

>>March 2022: Nothing has changed. Users are still not given any indication on the functionality being introduced.

>>June 2021: clearly, these folks are not interested in becoming transparent when it come to explaining updates. >>March 2021 update: I have not updated AirBrush precisely because of the reasons others have stated; issue with subscription process, features once free are now part of a package subscription. More importantly, I still don’t understand why new features are not explained up front so the User can determine if they wish to upload. Why the secrecy? >> Dec 2020 update: Is there a reason why you do not explain the details of these “bug fixes and improvements?” I repeatly read that what were once free features are now locked into a subscription process. That’s fine - I just don’t understand why your not forthcoming with the changes before the actual release. >> Jan 2020: I learned not to have automatic updates enabled because of AirBrush. Until apps begin to fully state and elaborate on what changes are incorporated on their updates, I will wait to read the reviews before downloading.

First, I haveTried to reach out to this app customer service probably no less than 10 times over the past year, it is near impossible to reach anyone and they will never ever get back to you. Ever.
I pay for AirBrush . But they still have zero customer service, and are not interested in hearing from you.
I enjoy some of the filters they put together but after that you are just a number and they are not there to help you with anything further which would keep you as a customer. I don’t understand why every time I close AirBrush it does not remember any of my settings no matter what I do.
The front facing camera becomes the back facing camera, the last filter was forgotten and nothing is retained in AirBrush ever if you close it out -and as a photographer this has really cramps my style, mostly wasting a lot a lot of time.
I this app does not seem to care about this issue, they don’t want to hear about this issue, they don’t want to fix this issue, and they are happy just taking your money and not having to deal with any kind of improvements or customer relations at all.

So before I went and opened it today, I would 100% have given 5 stars....except I went to hit the magic button like always and it told me that it’s now a premium feature. Which was very annoying...so now you have to click through everything one by one to try and get the results that you want... which for people who just do it for little things and have loads of time to edit it’s fine go right on ahead...but the only reason that I would use AirBrush was for the “magic” and retouch because honestly who wants to send hours trying to edit photos on end and AirBrush had great free features. Obviously this is just my experience and probably will just get another one or just buy one that’s a one time fee instead of every month. But if your just doing this for fun and don’t mind spending the extra time fixing things, than this will be great for you...sorry that I have to be this person but I really would appreciate if “magic” could go back to being a free feature. Thank you for your consideration.

I can’t imagine my life without you guys, I love each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. So God Bless and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the best photo editing app have ever tried! It doesn’t make your picture look over edited like most of the photo editing apps do! This one actually helps you adjust those photos that end up making you look like you have some weird flaw that you don’t actually have so you can use AirBrush to make the picture look like you actually look in person without making you look fake like most other photo editing apps do! I typically only use a photo editor bc a picture turns out with something looking weird that doesn’t normally look that way so I use AirBrush to fix that and my pictures can look the way they are supposed to for real without that awful fake look that 99% of these apps make you have! AirBrush is amazing and I download it on every new phone I buy! I truly 100% recommend AirBrush!

I really like AirBrush, and the amount of filters is awesome! I am able to do so much that I just can’t find on any other apps. The only problem I have is the reshape tool. Before the update came out, I was able to do very precise edits. For example, I have edited people and legs out of the backgrounds of my pictures. But now, I can barely do anything without it moving everything around it as well. I suppose for some things this is good, but for my personal needs it screws up pictures and really makes things look fake. For example, I’m trying to make my chin look smaller from a side profile, but instead of making my chin smaller, it moves the entire bottom part of my face in. Otherwise, this is one of the best free editing apps I have found. Also it would be cool if I could like take part of the background and copy it onto a different part of the picture, if that makes sense? That would make it easier to cover up people in the background..

This is absolutely the top notch photo editor for pictures one would like to touch up a bit. It doesn’t have to just be all about “changing the way one looks.”

There are so many options; one can make teeth more white, flawlessly. It looks natural because one can build upon how much you choose to lighten.

My second favorite feature is the option the blend away an acne blemish. It makes all the difference.

There are TONS more beauty touch ups and tools etc. Although some may view controversial, there’s the option the “sculpt” your face in all types of ways, and it looks completely real, absolutely impossible to tell when done right. This applies to every feature I have tried. However, I personally prefer not to reshape or resize my features.

Most of them are free, which I sincerely appreciate. I played around with the face sculpt features just for fun, I’m not sure how it can be so seamless. Basically one can touch up a selfie slightly, or change alter lots of features.

I’ve been using AirBrush for about 4 years now. I sincerely appreciate the developers providing AirBrush with many free options (the majority) .
*THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE A ‘’MEMBERSHIP’ of any sort, and like I said previously, one can use AirBrush and many of its best features entirely free.

Perfect! Not too noticeable either. Makes it super easy just to wipe out a few of the little "flaws" that only you would notice about yourself anyways! Or, truth be told, if you're too lazy to put on makeup but trying to take a good pic.. you can totally add some light mascara or full blown face-do! I've purchased one then found this one and now I hate the purchased one! Sometimes FREE is the best I guess :)!!!!...this one is so much better!! Flawless!!-or at least that's how you'll be looking in your pics when you use this ;) shh we won't tell!!! But like I said it's not really "faking it" either because it's stupid flaws only we notice about ourself anyways so it just is a confidence booster, or that's how I use it anyways, I've definitely had to wonder to myself if some "gorgeous" people are really just using AirBrush hahah!

After searching for days for photo editing apps I love AirBrush so much my photos are almost hitting professional levels! I’ve had AirBrush for a year not a single problem has accrued. I use AirBrush everyday. I am a smaller businessed photographer and with AirBrush my pictures have finally hit the professional level. I love AirBrush I started small with other apps and when I got AirBrush it make my pictures so good that I have so many people reaching out to me. AirBrush you can whiten teeth blur blemishes you don’t want showing. Even give yourself a tan!. You can blur the background cut out things in the background or anywhere AirBrush is perfect for little details to
Even big details! I highly recommend AirBrush!!!

I love AirBrush for quick adjustments and how it keeps the photo quality on export. It is very user friendly, and gets many jobs done. There are some items that would be great additions:

I should not show ads when I’m in the paid version. It is very annoying to want to edit multiple photos and have to go back through all the steps to get to the same spot or same album. If I could immediately keep my place in my photos/albums when editing it would be great. There’s not an option to really erase anything, just remove it and smudge into a background of the colors around it. It would be great if there was a color “this app” option to clear or clean up any unwanted items. The option to add text and have fonts would be helpful.

I used to have AirBrush a long time ago when the majority of the features were free. I understand that they need to monetize some of the features because of demand and because they’re great features, but I don’t like that they claim the majority of the main features are still free when they’re not :/ Might’ve just been some oversight in need of revising though! Also I went to start my free trial and purchase an annual subscription and was offered 14% off, but when I went to my settings to ensure I had the right card on file, the offer disappeared and the price reverted back to the full amount. Would really appreciate if the offer can still be honored since I needed to make sure it was charging the right card and had no idea that simply checking for this would cause AirBrush to revoke the discount :(

Ok I’ve raved about Lensa which is an outstanding quick selfie touch up tool, but this app matches it and then exceeds it in some other ways. I could only notice Lensa’s background tool and hair color were a tad better. For the price AirBrush gives you everything you need and the effects are outstanding quality. You have more granular control than Lensa. The firm tool to remove crows feet is crazy good. Almost too good lol. As a guy, like Lensa, I’m glad the icon is gender neutral. I wish there was an option in the settings to have AirBrush open in camera mode. Outstanding touchup tool. Please don’t grip about the price. AirBrush gives you a lot for the money and the effects are very good.

I think my favorite feature is the makeup. It’s hilarious but I used to hesitate to take and post photos bc it was such a pain to have to stop and apply at least some makeup for the cam. And there are so many options you can literally take a bunch of photos without worrying about getting your makeup “just so,” and apply it with AirBrush . Like ridiculous fun and awesome. It’s literally how I would my makeup but without...actually...doing it. Haha and I am so glad that it’s not like some unrecognizable filtered version of myself lol. Although you can do that too when you want to! I’m amazed at how seamlessly AirBrush is able to apply the changes and make it look totally natural and real.

This is NOT a fake review, I chose to review AirBrush myself, with zero ulterior motives❤️

This is one of my favorite apps! Even if sometimes we may look a little overdone (I say may but it isn’t often because you can choose settings how you want), With the push of a button you can you erase what just happened and try something else! I like that I can reset my beauty preferences when you take a photo originally, I pretty much use all of them except for the satin because sometimes that overdid it and I change the lighten my skin to the darken. Everyone has their own preference. It’s nice that it is easy to use and you don’t have to do a ton because it’s pretty much does it for you and makes you look nice and you don’t look like an alien or like you just had plastic surgery!!

Don’t get me wrong, this is my one of my two favorite editing apps, I use it for all of my pictures that need editing, but I don’t like the subscription. There are a lot of features that I personally wouldn’t use if I did pay $35/year, and I’d only use some of the filters some of the time. Can you make it so that we can still buy everything individually, too? I’ve avoided updating AirBrush for five months on purpose because I don’t like photo editing apps with subscriptions. Other than that, I love AirBrush a lot. Everything works well most of the time and I appreciate it so much. Thank you for your time!

very natural looking filters and variety of editing tools :)! much better than other apps of this nature. only two small critiques on the off chance a developer reads this
1. id like more customization with regard to the makeup filter; sometimes I only want lipstick and don't want the unnatural smoothing of my skin or change in background lighting that happens automatically
2. id like a shadow tool! one where you can move your brush around and it will make it look like the selected area is in a shadow. I don't know how difficult this is to design, but it would be very useful
overall, excellent app! i use it all the time :)💗

I simply LOVE AirBrush, it has been my go to for years and years to edit all my pictures, AirBrush itself is wonderful, but after one of the last updates and changing phones, two features that I had bought a long time ago when it was not like it is now to subscribe, I paid separately for those two features and I can’t restore them, I sent like 3 emails to them through AirBrush , never heard back, sent a message on their Facebook page and got a “standard” message asking me to restore (which I wrote that didn’t work) and I’m left hanging. Customer service is HORRIBLE, it’s zero, the whole company is made out of lots of things, customer service should be one of their priorities because we are the clients that make AirBrush to be what it is, but when it lacks attention and response, it’s useless. I’m very disappointed.

Photography is a hobby of mine . So I try a ton of Apps . This is up in the Tops with me . It always works for me . Always saves my pics and I love how they are constantly coming up with new filters , adjustments, tweaks for AirBrush to keep it fresh and new . That’s how u keep up w the big boys . Thank u for being so great and reliable and not making people look like strangers in the pics when using your Edit options . If I get a new phone I always make sure that i have it . Can’t wait to see what you roll out of it’s next . Suggestions: If you could edit video on here too that would be a game changer . Or add voice or text .

I'm not HUGE on photo editing apps... mainly because almost every time I've used an app, if you look closely (and sometimes not so close), you can see the photos obviously been edited. I'd rather post true photos then photos you can tell have been edited.
But then I tried AirBrush and everything changed. It is AH-MAZING!!! The changes and edits are so subtle and perfect. Of course you can still go overboard, but if you want just little imperfections changed, AirBrush is the best. I use it all the time now and I love it because my photos now look perfect but no one can tell I've even touched them!

Been using AirBrush for a long while and have always loved it! Happy to see new improvements.
Something that would be a helpful feature would be to copy all of the settings that are applied (especially the multiple layers of filters) to easily use on another photo from the same session. It’s tedious to sometimes have 2 or more photos I want to do the same process to and not have a way to duplicate.
Otherwise, it’s an all around great app that I do recommend for what it’s worth!

To restate what Lili said:
This is not okay. This is why people develop eating disorders. This is why social media has become hazardous to our health. This is why people have unrealistic expectations of their bodies. If you photoshop your body: you are adding to the problem. We are better than this. Looking “skinnier” on Instagram is not worth the detrimental psychological effects that these photoshopping apps have given our generation. People who use these apps and alter their bodies are clearly suffering from low self esteem, body dysmorphia, or other mental health problems. If we applaud and praise those who photoshop their photos, it’s only encouraging them to continue. And to feel like the only way they will be accepted is if they keep alternating themselves.

Once you alleviate yourself of the pressure to conform to FAKE/UNREALISTIC standards...the world is a lot brighter. I promise you.

I love AirBrush & have been a paying subscriber since the launch and have upgraded throughout your entire growing process. With that being said you’re now going to more then double my annual subscription? Wow that’s quite a leap & an abuse of power. For me it’s not about the money it’s about LOYALTY and apparently we have different meanings of the word. Shouldn’t the membership price stay the same as what you initially signed up for? I realize your rights in the small print but I only have one right and that’s not to subscribe and since I enjoy AirBrush I’m left with no choice. In my world we call the bullying.

AirBrush just went from great to PHENOMENALLY AWESOME!!!! That new bokeh filter is out of this world amazing!!!!!!! I would suggest that you guys give us the option to erase some of the bokeh in places we might want to some how do that we can fix the edges of the subject how we would like them in the imperfect places. But I must say, I’m a graphic designer and a photographer and to give some of my phone pics an extra boost i edit them in AirBrush. This is by far the best photo editor app out there for iPhone for me! I think y’all are about to get a subscription from me!!!

You Use to be able to select a “premium” feature to buy that you want to use.
Then they snook a subscription style bs in the update and instead of purchasing a feature you like , you Now have to choose a monthly or annual “plan” for access “to all features” and have to keep paying monthly/yearly for it . What a letdown. Worse, is some of the things once free is now part of “paid subscription”.

Was a great app to use, when I wanted to fix a few things. But now that’s ridiculous that they switch to this model and also doesn’t even let you select to purchase just one feature you care to use.

Way too many apps out there that you can purchase a feature outright - instead of using an app now trying to milk people monthly for features , and even those that once was freely included in your previous versions smh.

I love all the filters for this new update for one week. Although I wish it was free because just for filters it’s quite expensive... 😬 I do love AirBrush and I think it is very easy and helpful to use to edit your photos to give it a big pop to it I guess you could say. It’s like a easy way to use photoshop since photoshop is confusing and difficult to use if your a beginner. I caught up on how to use AirBrush like the first time I used AirBrush “this app” thanks for inventing AirBrush! I love it! :)
