An editorial reading of the saved reviews
Film effects inspired by the 1960s were conceptually strong: precise grain, vignetting, and color shifts without oversaturation. After several updates a critical problem emerged: the app saves photos at under one megapixel, destroying the original image quality. Some users report brown banding on the finished image.

What people use it for
Film aesthetic enthusiasts, but only if the developers fix the resolution degradation on export.
What reviews praise
- Authentic film palette with grain and vignette.
- The filter transparency slider in older versions allowed precise control over effect intensity.
What reviews complain about
- Export shrinks the image to under one megapixel.
- New filters add excessive edge blur that cannot be disabled.
What users experience
2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
Prequel: This app shrinks your photos to less than half their original size! STAY AWAY, will be ruining all your photos! I want to give this app a higher rating, but any app that does this is literally unusable, thus defeating its only purpose.
Update: what a disappointment. The app still has not been fixed, saving images at less than 1mp. Deleted again. A recent app update has trashed the output resolution. The app used to save images at a maximum of about 11.2 mp.
