Add back the textures and then i’ll redownload the app, until then, this app is complete sh**.
Pretty much all the cool effects are gone and this just looks like basic pic filters for vintage ig very sad to see this one go
Paid for the filters and ever since one of the updates I’ve had to repurchase ones I’ve already bought, even after restoring all my purchases. I’m not the only person saying this in the reviews. Buyer beware.
I’ve used PICFX since the beginning and it’s still my favorite app to use for editing photos and applying a look onto my iPhone videos.
Where have the textures gone ? Completely disappeared with no explanation ..no trace . Wow .. although i still attempt to use Picfx still .. its lost all its flavor for me,I believe i still retain the APP in Disbelief perhaps or hoping textures will re emerge within .. sad ..very sad .. why is it you find something so useful, then one day its completely devoid of the tools you once adored..
You guys get 1 Star, Because I Bought this app a couple Of years Ago, and Now you guys Updated it and When I downloaded the Update, It doesn’t GIVE ME the New Filters, I have to subscribe for something I BOUGHT ALREADY 😒😒
All around very good editor. Dear PicFx Can you provide the option to chose the edge color instead of the app choosing them based on the picture’s palette (which is what it appears to do)? For instance if I have a B&W photo that I want to apply a red edge to the app won’t allow it, choosing instead more muted choices Thanks
