8 of 15It’s no desktop editing software, but in terms of a quick mobile edit, this is BY FAR the best color grading app I’ve encountered.
When I need quick color & value correction on my iPhone & iPad, this is my go-to. Curves are extremely powerful & flexible editing paradigms, and they're implemented really well here. Plus, this app's inclusion of (basic) non-curve HDR, grain, sharpness, layering, etc really rounds it out. While curves can also get tricky when you micromanage them with lots of points, MaxCurve's undo history, presets, (and the actual curves interface) keeps it easy to manage and re-think your edits on the fly. Highly recommended.
This app hasn’t been updated in years. The UI doesn’t allow you to reach lower most elements.
This app used to be great, possibly since an update they make it hard to save photos back to IPhoto, edited, photos, disappearing? Looking for a replacement app…

MaxCurve is amazing app, it offers a rich set of features, if only it could be kept up to date with trends. The robust set of editing capabilities are now lagging behind with no options for local masking or defining own mask areas, amongst many others. I’ve loved it for some of my edits when I needed some finesse on color optimization. I hope the developer can take time to bring it up to date… including UI updates and support for some of the new camera APIs.
I just wish one or two UI things were different but i absolutely love the simplicity and the powerful features. :) Thank you
