"Filterstorm was designed for the iPad from the beginning, and is a study in limitation and excellence." - App Craver

"While Filterstorm certainly won’t replace your image-optimization workflow on your desktop computer, it can prove useful (and fun) enough that you will want to put it to use for quick adjustments to fine-tune an image you want to share via your iPad. " - Digital Photo Pro

Reviews

Great App
LYNNBERMANN

I normally don't write reviews. Can't tell you how much money I have lost trying apps. I can say this app is worth the money. At first I thought it sucked, but then realized I actually would have to read the instructions and review the tutorials. So glad I did. If you want an app to just do basic cropping, text and a few effects, you can save your money and get another app. However if you need more features, like cloning, tone mapping, noise reduction and more, it is worth the price. I use this app on a first generation iPad and it works great.


Use to work, now it just crashes or Saves crap image.

Great App for my iPhone 5
Good Music03

I've had this app for about 3yrs now works great I have no complaints outside of once in a while I have trouble saving my work but it maybe because I'm running low on space in my iPhone


Beware this developer.
trinadi

Good app but I wouldn't buy anything from this developer though. Rewrote the code to nue and left the rest of us who bought the old one in the dust.


Don't bother.
kimmys1

Developer created a "new" app just like this one. It'll be a waste of money buying this when you won't be getting any updates.


Dirty, underhanded
Slaine Bledge

You dirt bags already made filterstorm, for which I paid. So now that you've made it usable I have to pay for it again? Imagine a metric fk ton of curse words, one after the other, that display how angry I am about this. Idiots.


Neue Has Scaling Issue
SedonaDenise

Just for anyone that likes Filterstorm but has noticed Neue NOT being fixed for scaling (reverses the dimensions opposite the display when you click on 'Scale'), the older Filterstorm scales correctly. So I have both! I like the older UI but both quite nice.


Doesn't work anymore
tbrownphoto

This WAS an awesome app until you released a the same darn program, repackaged it and made us buy the new one while taking away updates for this version. I'm on an iPhone 5s and this hardly ever works anymore. Constantly stalls when saving images and crashes. Thanks for turning an awesome app into a piece of junk.


Use this app all the time , until .....
Apugach

Use this app all the time , until saving and crashing became a nightmare , looked to see if there are any updates and what do you know , looks like instead of upgrading this app, you selling a same thing with a fancy name , screw you dirtbags, with competition as big as it is, good way to piss what ever customers you have . Nobody buy the Neon , or Nein upgrade .


Perfect mobile editor
