Cool fx Review


Reviewed Version: 1.1

App offers many options for editing photos, but it’s a little overwhelming

Cool fx is a image-editing app by photo industry veterans The Tiffen Company. In its App Store description, the app promises to simulate different color and black-and-white photographic looks, diffusion, motion picture and film stocks, and optical lab processes. It certainly delivers on that promise—perhaps too much so for some users.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Disappointing

I am disappointed in both this app and Photo fx, both of which I've deleted from my iPhone in an effort to make room for other apps. There are a lot of effects, but each is similar to the last, and there are other apps for the iPhone that can do the job just as well and don't charge additional fees for additional filters as this app (and Photo fx) does.
