Airbrush: Face Photo Editor

UPDATE: Airbrush made the corrections that so many of us were complaining about. The app works again and premium subscription features are fully functional again. Thank you airbrush for hearing us and making the changes to bring back the fantastic app that we have all grown to love. It’s an easy and useful app. I’d love to see real background changes so that you can swap out backgrounds like some other apps offer. But overall the app is great. It’s my go to!! ————————— Subscription SCAM! Don’t buy. Read the reviews. This app used to be great. Now after paying my annual subscription, I have lost all purchase features and the app so is so overrun with ads, it’s unbearable. I have emailed customer service at least 5x with zero acknowledgment or response. No heads up. No warning. I am logged in with my usual email I have been using for years. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have restored purchases. Nothing works. Hundreds and hundreds of people are experiencing the same thing I’m dealing with. Read the reviews and SORT by most recent. If you read the older ones they are all fake or for a different app version. Come on AIRBRUSH!!

This is the best photo editing app and has some awesome features & tools but the costs have gotten out of control. At the beginning you could basically use almost every feature for free. Then I paid for & added the premium subscription (thinking that it would naturally cover each new additional feature and tool within each new update, after all it is the “premium subscription”). But no that wasn’t enough money and so I paid for 2 individual add on features...so much for the premium... Now you have to pay some absorbent amount for the black feature. I paid for the premium, for 2 separate add on features that should have been included within the premium to begin with but as time has gone on I seem to be losing more features than gaining. At the very least my features should remain the same. Seriously if a person started out with this app from the beginning and paid for the premium, paid for all the add on’s and now the black subscription, you would be shelling out enough money to have your photos gold plated. Finally, I would have thought by now that you would have a feature to bring out the color of your eyes more. Like a lot of times unless you have the perfect angle & lighting it’s hard to capture your true eye color. If you have blue eyes, you can make them more blue for example. It doesn’t seem like that would be very difficult to incorporate.

I have had this app for years, and I have even happily paid for the yearly subscription to have access to all of the options. I have used both the free and the paid version during this time. This year, I did not renew my subscription as my card was not updated in my Apple account, and now the app is reverted back to the free version. Which I have not minded so much before as it was still a great free app. What I will say is that if you do not want to pay real money on this app, the amount of ads that they have added recently are ridiculous and extremely annoying. The paid option is not a one time fee either, it is a monthly or yearly subscription that you have to continue paying endlessly. I know that they are trying to make money, but I feel that it has reached a point to where it is becoming greedy. I don’t want ads in my face constantly. I am going to go elsewhere due to this because it has annoyed me so much! Every two seconds they make u watch an ad. The free version of an app should still be enjoyable, and the reason I pay for the full app is because I really love the way it works and I love the results of my photos. I have previously paid extra to unlock the more advanced features. However, it is hard to enjoy the app when ads are thrown in my face so much. Why not just make this app paid in the first place? If you are making me watch ads, then why are you restricting my use of the app still? If you are making money from me watching your ad, why are you still adding a watermark to my photo? I’m going to just crop out the watermark anyways. It’s just kinda rude.
