8 of 25There is something magical, something explorative and so appealing about the way you engage with this app. It pulls out elements of your photos in such great, distressed, worn down, saturated ways that will have you savings six different takes of the same image. Absolutely Legendary!
Love this app. I wish it could be integrated in my Lightroom workflow but a desktop version isn’t available and not sure if it can be integrated with Lr Mobile. Also, some looks are amazing but they are generated once and cannot be saved for application on another photo for a consistent look across a photo shoot. Lack of a saturation slider is an issue. Also the white interface is incredibly straining on the eye, it should be dark like Colibri.
Recently revisited this click-for-random-filter app. Also purchased RNI Colibri. It's fun to see what retro filter will be applied. It can create some beauties!
While I assume this defeats the purpose of how this particular app is supposed to work as it’s more intended to be “unpredictable” and offer some sort of realistic exaggeration of actual film (which I love!)... I really wish just one thing for this app: that it allowed you to index your favorite looks for later. The heart feature is invaluable, I use it every time. But after rendering and moving onto the next photo, those saved hearts are long gone. Being able to create your own custom filters after randomly generating them would be amazing. Devs - please consider this option!!<br/><br/>2020 Update: <br/>Still loving the app and using it every day, still wishing it had the option to save custom presets/filters. Sometimes this app will make the most beautiful amazing filter. Sad part is you’ll never see it again. It’s such a useful piece of software, it really just needs custom presets and it’s golden 👌🏻<br/><br/>June 2020 Update: <br/>App is getting stuck every time on render now and will just keep spinning the clock and never save to camera roll. Seems to be a bug.<br/><br/>Already tried removing/reinstalling and rebooting device to no avail.<br/><br/>********<br/><br/>EDIT: <br/>I’ve discovered that the photo that crashed Flashback is burst. This is my fault obviously as I didn’t realize I was attempting to load a burst for editing, but be forewarned that if you do load a burst it will not render at the end FYI. Problem solved however.
I ordinarily never use preset filters, but I fell for your pitch about your unique “film/chemistry randomization” approach, and I’m glad I did. Love it. But now, one suggestion: create a Slideshow mode that cycles through an infinite universe of shot variations. Say with a 5-10 second cycle and continuous dissolve.<br/><br/>Greatest screensaver/wallpaper ever.
I use this app for all of my editing, and it makes it so easy. All you do is tap until you find filter you like and then you save it. You can tap to see if there are any more but the edits seem as if they are everlasting. This app produces awesome edits that truly do look like old school photography. I always get compliments on my editing. I was hesitant of purchasing this app but it’s probably some of the best few dollars I’ve spent. If you’re looking for an amazing editing app, this app does the job.
It’s a good app that does most of the work for you but it lacks support for some raw files. I also think it needs the ability to export some image created in this app to RNI film app, this will allow you to further develop your image..<br/>One major thing it lacks is the ability to save a preset and apply it to other photos (adding favorites do not persist between images).
This app is not what I thought it would be. Requesting a refund as soon as I can.
