Endless Bugs, Disappearing Features – Polarr: Photo Filters & Editor Review

It appears “rental” means “subject to total change whenever we feel like it”. What does this app even do anymore? I am beginning to think this “javascript-first” webdev architecture is unsuited to real tools people depend upon. BEWARE: now features we paid for are GONE. No Landscape mode! No more drawing tools or text or shapes. I don’t want your garbage clipart lens flares i want the imaging tooks i freaking paid for. Another Update: All my favorites vanished because they changed the way they “package” favorites, and seem to have given no thought to how that interacts with previously referenced Styles. This is the _SECOND_ time my favorites have been nuked because of app changes. This time total silence from support. Update: still busted. Cute garbage like “pixelate with triangles” gets added, while the image type tags have been broken since first release. I have reported the issues in every release; sometimes I get a response asking for the same information provided in first report - it’s broken the same way, please read the first full bug report. Read the reports from all your customers while you’re at it. I used to love the potential and philosophy, but there are still fundamental bugs unaddressed since launch (well over) a year ago. Every release adds a new feature or fiddles with UX while breaking something fundamental. Moving fast and breaking things is what children do, we expect better from professionals
