used to love the app- now they un-starred which filters are paid and which are free... I went and edited a photo and then when I was done a pop up said I had to subscribe. it was bad enough that more than half the filters weren't free, but now you can even tell right away anymore. I'll be looking for something else to edit with.

When you apply a paid effect or filter, a Star appears on the Next button (upper right corner). If there is no star, it means the tool is free. You won't be able to export only while using paid tools. Currently, more than 30 effects and 40 filters are free. If you have questions about Prequel, message us via the Settings menu > Send feedback.

Bought a year of premium.... disappointed because with all th bells and whistles this app cannot do something as simple as muting my video and exporting it. I most likely will be asking for a refund if I find more issues. I don't like paying for apps and then they don't work properly...people pay a lot of money for these apps so I expect things to WORK properly.

I've had some issues with this app for the last few weeks, and it is an app I pay a yearly subscription for. Right now, the app works properly. The only downside is Even if you pay for a subscription, some of the filters are not available for you unless you follow on x and tiktok and not all of us have accounts on either one of those. other than that, I do love this app and the filters are absolutely amazing for my photography.

What's new

A fresh drop: the Nomad filter.
Don’t say “I’ll try it later.” Say “this just changed my whole camera roll.” :film_frames:
