“Greedy — I have had this app for as long as I can remember. Subscription is now $60 a year plus taxes, insane! I recall Paying $20 before and it just keeps going up and up every year. I get it, inflation, but nothing new. Who would pay that kind of many for an app like that isn’t as good as it once was with all these malfunctions and updates. Make it more affordable please!” — ★☆☆☆☆“Too expensive — Not what it use to be!” — ★☆☆☆☆“Ужасные фильтры и всё платно. — Бесплатные якобы маски тоже платные, просто они без значков pro. Фильтры плохие, макияж вообще ужасный делает, приложение бесполезное, ни для одного фото мне не подошло.” — ★☆☆☆☆
