Worth the In-App Pricey Price – Repix - Inspiring Photo Editor Review

Repix is a stand-out app offering artistic photo manipulation via a set of brushes (applied to areas of the working image) and a collection of filters (applied to the entire image). The brush controls deliver a range of effects ranging from exceedingly subtle to dramatic, with a limited control of degree but sadly no option to adjust brush effect intensity after, a feature that curiously is available when applying a filter. If your thing is to create images with well integrated painterly effects that can be applied to select areas of the subject, this may be a must-have app. Unlocking the in-app options, currently a $5.99 upgrade, seems a bit pricey, but it adds 38 brushes/filters, a cost of only about .16/per, which isn't bad, though not all are equally usable. The weak link in this otherwise exceptional app is the filters, which are hi-hum at best. I doubt I'll use them unless the developer provides a serious and far better crafted collection. In their present form, they offer minor tweaks to tint and temperature across the board, with none of them eye-catching or otherwise noteworthy. Given that there are numerous brushes that have no serious value, e.g., hearts, it would be good to be able to turn select brushes off in a settings area so they're hidden, reducing UI clutter. (App doesn't offer settings in its current iteration). The filters are the main reason I didn't give Repix five stars.
