Polarr Pro Photo Editor 4+

The interface is a little un-Apple-like but it is easy enough to work with. I’m working my way through a myriad of images that were slides and which have been digitised. The colour cast and dynamic range is a bit iffy but I’m able to use the filters to give something that looks more reasonable and which I can then quckly tweak to give a better image. I’ve only done 100 or so so far and this is therefore still an early report but so far it’s worked really well. The only niggle is to do with saving - I want to open from one folder and save to another, but it wants to save to where it opened. Some apps will default to the place you last saved - in this instance I’d like it to do that but I can imagine some cases where I’d prefer what it is doing, so they can’t win either way.

I have been using this application on the express format, for quick and easy access to the tools I am looking for and it has been working great, with the revert button I can see the significant change I have made by the end.
This app is plenty fun to use and so easy that I am able to complete one edit in around 5 minutes, with beyond satisfactory results.
However, ths app is not complete without in app purchases, although so far I have not had to use them.
I would recommend using this app especially if you are new to photography, editing or just looking to easily touch up photos.

I really want to love this app, both iphone & mac but it's just annoying me more than anything else. It's immensely awkward to sync my filters between iphone & mac and often will tell me that my iphone version is a newer version than the software on my mac, even if both apps are completely updated. I also can't apply multiple styles and combine them into one custom style, it will only apply the most recent adjustments. So if I combine two of my custom styles into one that I then want to share, it won't allow me to do this. It would be great if there was some kind of layers option too allowing me to move certain adjustments above or below others instead of having to undo and reapply all adjustments.

Potential, but mostly irritating. Good job it's cheap I guess.
