Polarr

Nocturne

The app used to be good but just right now when I tried to go into the app it shows the normal title screen, when the import photo button shows up it only stays for 1 second and then my screen turns all black. When it turns black I am unable to do anything. Please fix it

Polarr app has recently started refract images. Objects such as straight lines (roads, buildings, etc.) become curved and uneven after the image is edited. I can't understand which settings may affect it. I've tried to experiment and eliminate different settings, however, it looks like that the deformation appears all of a sudden. I decided to stop using the app and now am looking for a good alternative.

Love this app. The negative reviews tend to relate to a bug that has now been solved, so don't really reflect my experience of it. It's a bit slow but has a lot of features that I would otherwise have to use multiple apps to get. This has features from colour noise reduction to skintone highlights correction, AND can handle RAW files. However there are many features that you have to pay for, with a pricey yearly subscription. I can get them free in other apps. Happy though overall

After the newest update, Polarr no longer has a text feature, which, apart from filters, was my main reason for using the app. No other app I have found can do the same text effects as Polarr used to. I've spent a lot of time looking through all of the tools in the new layout to see if the text feature was categorized under any of them, but it appears it is gone. This is my only issue with the app. Please add it back!

First off, my experience has been full of bugs. I want to rate this higher because of its potential and power, but when I have to fight the app just to keep the keyboard up to log in, its sorta upsetting. ESPECIALLY when it hasn't been updated in over 4 months. If you're charging a subscription, even if it isn't required, its courtesy to patch atleast once a month. So until this app catches up to modern standards of app development and fixes bugs, it'll remain 1 star.

This used to be the best free editing app, sadly now most features require a subscription, even some of the most basic ones. Guess that's what capitalism forces you to do. The prices for premium are alright compared to other apps, but I don't use it enough anymore for it to be worth it. Also the filters page is pretty confusing to navigate, maybe that could be improved.

Used to be an incredible editing app! My favourite! A lot of the features I needed have now been made premium only options, such as HSL and sharpening, dehazeing, etc. I don't consider this acceptable - if you're going to have premium features, then at least make them new features or ones that have always been inaccessible due to premium membership. Taking away features that customers have always used is just bad business, and is more likely to drive away your customers than convert them.

Fix this app!!! It used to be the greatest photo editing app for Android, now it's a laggy, useless mess of an app. It defeats the purpose of ever having had to pay for premium when it's not even working like it's supposed to! It doesn't start and when it does, it crashes. The controls used to be intuitive, now you'll be lucky to even get the settings you selected. Update: It's January 20, 2019, and this app hasn't been updated. . . but for whatever reason the iOS version has been updated 3 times since the Android version got updated in October. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

I really really love the Polarr app and the ease of use. I use it for everything and recommend it to my other photographer friends who are looking for a comprehensive, professional editing app. However, this new update has made it more difficult to navigate in my opinion and it seems that the clone and spot removal tool have been removed? Please, please, please bring them back! The last layout was perfect; please roll it back!! It wasn't broke, no need to fix it :(
