Filterstorm Neue App Reviews

Lite Version - Dont bother

You need to update your other filterstorm app. This one is no good. Either I cant create layers with this app, or you made really difficult to find.

Best editor

Filterstorm Neue could be a great app, but crashes when saving or when using the masking tool.

Filterstorm Neue 1.2.6

Is there anyway I can get this version. I dont like the Filterstorm Neue 1

Overbearing new features

I cant use the older version of the software. I was forced to update before being able to use the software. Features have changed and it takes a lot of effort to learn them. I am making a mess out of beautiful picture I have taken. Not good.

Love It

Powerful photo editor for iPhone & iPad... Highly recommended!!! Please fix bug, text feature crashed the app when launched in iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.2. Cheers!

Powerful edit tool with some problems

Great app, almost like having photoshop on your phone, but also has some issues. For instance, the clone tool works but will not actually save the changes on my iPhone 6. (Please fix this!) Takes a little while to get used to the interface, which isnt exactly intuitive, but works ok for the limited interface that a phone offers (when you are used to a keyboard and a Wacom tablet).

One of my favorite apps

Recommend, But Some Serious Over-Complexities

This app will do a lot for your photos, but in trying to be everything it is almost as cumbersome as Photoshop Touch. I wish it would allow certain tasks to be done quickly and simply. For me, I was looking to do some basic editing (curves, color, etc.) on selective parts of photos (similar to what Snapseed offers but with more control over where the effect takes place) but it is so complicated to do that with this app (masking, not seeing the effect until you hit the check mark, etc.) I will not use it very often. That is a big frustration for me, but this is still an app I recommend. Except for the lack of a Transform tool and the ability to save a project as a collection of layers, this seems to do everything PS Touch does. So a lower rating for the cumbersome nature of some simple tasks, and a higher rating for its comprehensive abilities, and I end up with a right-in-the-middle three stars.

Its a good start, but....

It doesnt show pre-existing IPTC data in photos. It also needs a way to flip between pictures in the current album.

Never deleted an app so fast.

At $4 you would think that this app would at least be decent. That thought is very incorrect. The "clone" feature, which is essentially what I bought this app for, is terrible. All of the other features are better in less expensive, more functional apps (VSCO, Afterlight, etc.) Your money is better spent elsewhere.

I use it a lot

I use this app quite a bit because the interface suits me. It’s easy to select editing features with the left semi-transparent palettes rather than continuously swiping to access a hidden left menu. I also like the effects and masks available. There are a few shortcomings as noted by other reviewers but I still go to this app first for editing needs. My biggest wish would be for an extension that would allow me to open Filterstorm from the Photos library.

A Serious Photo Editor

Im a professional designer and amateur photographer and I really enjoy all the creative apps available. You already know the app store is exploding with filter apps and photo editors. With all the hype surrounding the latest hit apps I wanted to share a quick review of Filterstorm Neue - its been around for a while, but remains one of the best high-level photo editors available. When choosing an app it is important to know how you want to use it and what you want to accomplish. If you are looking for filters and one-click adjustments there are other apps you should check out (maybe the excellent Gridditorby the same developer as Filterstorm Neue.) But if you know a bit more about photography and want to do more detailed work on your images, Filterstorm Neue is the way to go. You can see the list of features in the app description, so I want go into telling you what all it can do. What I will tell you is that its fast, can work with and export high-res images, and that there are no in-app purchases required to access features like curves (Im looking at you Darkroom). Filterstorm Neue is for those who want to do professional grade adjustments and edits to their images, so there arent lots of fun stickers or overlays. That said there is an excellent text tool that allows you to add type to your image. You can select from a wide range of fonts, adjust color and shadows, and of course mask out areas so that the type appears to be behind objects in your image. Filterstorm Neue is also great for creating double exposure effects, surrealist photo montages and seamlessly merging photos. Its universal so you only have to purchase it once to work on your phone and your iPad (yes, Enlight, this time Im looking at you.) It is a powerful image editor, and like any app, to fully appreciate it you need to spend some time working with it. With so many apps clamoring for your attention, time and money Filterstorm Neue is money well spent.

Has potential

I am finding this app very cumbersome. Perhaps on an iPad it would be easier to manipulate the photo; however, on the iPhone the controls are hard to adjust and the presentation of the pic makes it difficult. It opens zoomed for one. You can pinch to zoom out, but often it will zoom back in or move around while editing. Its just hard to use. I also think, despite what some would say, the lack of preset filters are a shortcoming. On a PC or Mac, a full editor is a purists paradise, yet on a phone or tablet you have a much smaller area to work. Its nice when presets and auto-fixes clean up a photo then allow you to tweak from there. At least in my experience, the other top photo editors on iOS will give you a range of present filters and make editing much faster. Overall, this is a decent app but the interface, albeit pretty, is hard to use.

Masking/Gradient Tools Broken

Ive tried with numerous photos in either the B&W or the Curves section to apply gradient filters and the constant default color is a fuschia. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this. It works correctly on my iPhone 6 but not on the iPad. Need to update?? *UPDATE* i figured out that you could go into the settings menu of every mask and toggle to highlight the mask area. My problem is resolved! I would like to see something similar to LR where you could choose to see the applied mask area with a 2/3 finger touch register. That would be great!! I love this for editing, this is such a powerful app its almost too much to comprehend at once. Mastery of this is more akin to a higher education degree. But seriously KUDOS to the dev for developing an app that can literally do what LR can do minus a few features. Please keep updating!!

Broken No Good Anymore Dont Buy Till fixed

This used to be really good now its sh*t.. Theres no longer any back button there is no longer any history while editing so there is no way to work with this properly anymore plus many other things do not work anymore... What the h*ll did they do to this ?

PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD VERSION !!!

I used to use the old version all the time which was like non other any photo editing apps out there. It was simply the best !!!!! When this new Neue version came out, I was so excited thinking it would be even better than the old version but its so ----- complicated and dont even have some features like adding borders which I really used to use often. I dont need this app. Just bring us back the old version. Please !!!

Wont open Fuji RAW Files

This app is really close to being what Im looking for. Unfortunately, it still returns an error when opening raw files from my Fuji xt-1. Its also not iPad pro optimized. The search continues...

Dont buy this

Honestly there are better FREE apps in the store. Dont waste your money! The first version was so much better but they stopped updating to create this garbage. Its so ridiculous Ill never understand why they would stop working on an app that everyone loved to spend time on one that everyone hates. Good job developers

Good, but ...

App needs more work! Shooting Raw+JPEG = the app to give an error loading the RAW and crashes the app (you cant load any photos until you force quite the app). Shooting Raw only - the app works fine. No Photos support either. Please add this app to the photos editors option to be able to edit raw or jpeg files directly from the photos app. Add the above and Ill give you 5 stars!! Thanks!!

Unbelievable: no undo

The video tutorials on the devs website looked pretty impressive (though the lack of audio for most of them is frustrating and sloppy), so I was willing to forgive the unusual, nonstandard user interface. I managed to struggle through some pretty intense editing using cloning, curves, masking, etc. and what I ended up with was pretty good for a first attempt in a program with a steep learning curve. But then came the unforgivable: I wanted to step back through some edits Id made. Id already noticed there didnt seem to be any "undo" (a fairly egregious violation of the "recovery" usability heuristic), so I was excited to see a History menu in the top level menus. Pleased, I tapped on the only choice, Original. With not so much as a confirmation dialog on what was a completely destructive action, I found myself back at my original, unedited image. After several hours of work, I was more than frustrated. Sorry, Filterstorm Neue, if you dont give me a chance to recover from my destitute action, Im not giving you a chance to recover or redeem yourself. Deleted.
