Tezza: Aesthetic Photo Editor

Still giving this app 5 stars because it’s still amazing, and I know that Tezza cares about the subscribers and everyone who uses it! I just wanted to flag that there are several bugs throughout the app: - 9th template under film black: when you do the 4x5 setting and download the image, it doesn’t download as it is shown. - 9th template under film white: the Polaroid behind the first Polaroid just remains blank. - 3rd template under sketch: the line for picture behind the first picture sits above the front picture. I think it’s supposed to look like one picture is behind the other picture. - 4th template under sketch: under the 4x5 setting, it’s forms a square but maybe that’s just how it’s supposed to be given the dimension change. Same with the last template under sketch. (Just flagging in case it’s not supposed to be like!) - in the regular photo editing area: after I edit a photo, it doesn’t always show the edits in the library. - sometimes the app crashes, but could be that I have too many pictures/videos in the library that I’ve edited. - not letting me connect to instagram. Tells me there’s an error. (I was connected before and none of my pictures were showing, so I logged out to log back in. But, this time there’s a problem logging in. I entered my password correctly.)

I never leave app reviews. However, this app annoyed me so much I feel it’s necessary. At first, it wouldn’t want to load anything I did. I had to repeatedly close and reopen the app. Once I was finally able to use it, I started testing out the free features. Almost immediately it told me I had to follow them on Instagram in order to use one of their filters. This annoyed me but whatever. THEN I instantly got to the premium version where I couldn’t go further until I paid. OF COURSE the only free trial is for the yearly membership. Why would I pay that much money for something I haven’t trialed yet?!? Again. WHATEVER. I paid the $4.99 weekly membership. What’s $5? THEN it forced me to make an account before being able to use another filter. You got my money and my Instagram follow. And you still want more?! MIND YOU.. there are ways to edit photos FREELY elsewhere. I never mind paying money for apps if they’re worth the monthly subscription. I do it all the time. I’ve even paid for yearly memberships. But I’ve never had to do this many things 10 seconds into a new app before. I miss the days where businesses made money without forcing themselves down people’s throats. It’s a photo editing app. There’s no need for this.

This app is very well featured and has a lot of controls and useful presets that can produce a very fine vintage look. However unfortunately it is also completely useless since the lack of control over output options means it only outputs a three megapixel file with unknown compression. I’m feeding the app 48 Megapixel Tiff files from my iPhone 14 Pro Max. With output that small there’s really no point in using this app- I can’t incorporate it into my workflow so now I have a subscription that sadly needs to be canceled. Another minor annoyance was not being able to use presets until I liked the company on Instagram- which did resolve itself when I purchased the pro bundle. However again for an app that charges a subscription I shouldn’t have to put up with such small output files and I don’t feel comfortable following a company and liking their IG even before I’ve been able to try the features. It’s clear this app is geared towards casual users that want a fast vintage look for Insta photos and not serious photographers. Too bad as it’s clear they actually put some real effort into the effects.
