Ism: digital camera & filter Positive Reviews
In LOVE however the subscription…This app is truly one of the best digital camera filters on the App Store right now. I’ve always run into the same problem with other filter apps: they layer their filters, with really no change in shade, contrast, or depth, until ISM. It truly adds more depth to the images I capture without changing the organic photo. However, my only downside is the premium cost. I’d be willing to pay for a monthly or yearly subscription, but the only option here is that it’s $7.99 per week for premium. Yes, the free version gives you 3 edits, but plenty of other filter apps offer a yearly or one-time subscription. I fear it may cost many people to switch to other apps in the future that offer the same benefits at a lower price. Personally, a weekly subscription isn’t ideal for many, since you only pay when you want to make content so that it wouldn’t be worth it in the end. Nevertheless. is still an amazing app, wish they offered different subscriptions.Sksksksk1Version: 7.38.0
Best photo app!Very clean and efficient to get my photos filtered! I really like how easy it was to use it. I’m glad I found this app because of the variety of filters I can use. Definitely recommend those who are looking to use this service and pay for the subscription because it’s worth it!.SolechangVersion: 2.12.0
Expensive SubscriptionApp is great, presets are amazing I love the film look and the huge variety of filters and editing tools. Nothing wrong with app itself, subscription just seems ridiculously expensive. $7.99 per WEEK is crazy, paying $32 a month for the app seems unnecessary when paying for both Lightroom and Photoshop together is $20 a month, and VSCO is $5 a month, and other editing apps like Tezza are $7 a month. You could get Photoshop, Lightroom, VSCO and Tezza premium subscriptions every month for the same price as this app..NsaiwiwiqnnaVersion: 7.14.1
ReviewFilters and editing are overall great! I love it and it helps my pictures look more naturally and beautiful than it was before. Although, I wouldn’t quite pay that much to edit every week or month since I don’t think I could use it often. This app should’ve been free and let others playfully use it whenever they want instead of paying. I get why they might’ve added a feature where you should so they could raise some money but my opinion. Besides, you do have to wait for at least a few hours until you get free 3 edits..RobloxhaterismeVersion: 7.21.0
Read this before gettingI gave it 5 stars to be more seen but. It’s not what it shows in ads. Not worth the risk of doing the trial and forgetting and getting a payment for a weak camera app. In truth you cannot replicate a real good old camera grain 2000s look. The app is not bad but not that great either..SqaunchieVersion: 7.25.3
I love the filters but quality lowers after using a filterI love the filters and the navigation process but one, I wish I could import multiple pictures to the gallery to edit and two, Ive noticed the quality of my image lowers when I apply any filter. It becomes pixelated and blurry in the app and in the gallery after it has been saved. Kinda regret buying the pro pack for this reason..TwerkMasterHydratorsVersion: 2.7.1
Love this appThis app helps me fit my chosen life style I love it so much I love the way there is no adds and is very easy to figure out how to use the only bad thing about it is you have to pay to use it but other then that I love the app..B CD branchesVersion: 7.41.0

Not free. Get the app “Fomz”.I’m rating it 5 stars so I can be on top. This app is not free. It’s not worth your money. Get the free version app called “Fomz”. Fomz has so many features like this for FREE!! I don’t recommend this one..NgaanagnsgngsVersion: 7.22.1

Subscription based appThis app is subscription based and has a free version with only 3 uses every 8 hours however I don’t just hate I give some improvements too. I would say let the free version give unlimited uses but you have to watch 2 ads. This solves the monetization issue and helps you expand your app further..TazamurVersion: 7.27.1

Ism: digital camera & filter Negative Reviews
Disappointing, Suspicious, and Literally Cheaper To Buy A CameraNote: I find it very suspicious how this app has a 4.8 rating, but many (if not most) of the written reviews seem negative lol
I downloaded this app after seeing an ad which was mostly 90s-00s analog video footage. The ad implied (maybe even claimed, I don’t know for sure because I can’t find the ad again lol) that you could mimic that style of video with your phone and this app. Otherwise, why show the footage, right? Well anyways, you can’t really do that in this app. You can add video filters, but they’re all a little disappointing and you could probably achieve similar results with your phone’s included editing features, for free. I will say the collages and templates seem pretty cool (although some of them are just ai-generated), but still, underneath a subscription model it doesn’t really seem worth it. And then of course, this app employs the classic scummy tactic of offering a free trial that automatically charges a subscription fee after only a few days, which only serves to pray on people who accidentally forgot to cancel..
TL;DR - cool app at face value, however the advertisements are a little misleading, it really isn’t a good value at all, and the free option is so limited that it might not be worth it. I did the math, if you paid for a subscription for this app for only a month, you’d be able to afford a used film camera, film, and get it developed with the same amount of money. The only thing is you don’t have to pay a subscription to own a camera..Norab EbukVersion: 7.33.0
Free.. where?Hi, I’ve used this app since last year. It has never made me wait 8 hours to edit more photos, or had it blocked me from touching the filters. Until I touched it again and found out I could only edit 3 photos, basically a day. 😭😭 I understood gating specifics filters, but gating everything and making people who want to use your app, pay around $8.. with basically no choice whatsoever, with the mindset of “If they don’t like it, go to another”, is disappointing.
I would’ve paid for membership like I had before, being able to use a specific filter that was gated.. but since the app is entirely gated now, it’s disappointing and not something I’d want to support.
Especially when it’s a monthly payment and not a one time payment. Might as well gate the app together at this point..PearyValVersion: 7.27.1
This has to be illegalI saw the ads for this on TikTok and it looked great. As soon as I downloaded I hit a paywall at 7.99 A WEEK!!!! We aren’t even gonna talk about how deceptive the ads are and how deceptive the general concept of making the app free to download when in actuality it isn’t free to use with a subscription for more features. They do this so they can boost their download numbers so they can be shown more on the App Store. 32 dollars a month for what is essentially just some filters is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. That is almost 400 dollars a year. These practices aren’t just money hungry. They are exploitative. If you are considering an app like this don’t. It’s a gimmick, money hungry, unethical excuse for an app that was more than likely made with the intention of making quick money from people who forget to cancel after the feee trial. STUPID!.KingPlaysitVersion: 7.28.0
How do I get a refund??UPDATE: I have reached out by email 3 times and social media twice and have yet to receive a response on my refund. I have reached out to the App Store multiple times. This is the first time in my life that I haven’t gotten a refund for a free trial, one that only lasts 24 hours at that.
////////
A one day free trial is really misleading. It does not give you the time to cancel your subscription, and I never got a notification either. I barely edited maybe 5-6 pictures with this app before I deleted it and made a mental note to end my free trial in a day or two. $7.99 is a lot of money to be taking away from people when they’re not happy with the service provided, especially if you’re wanting to build loyal customers. Bad business. The filters aren’t that good either tbh..NightelfkidVersion: 7.28.0
BillingThis app is incredibly misleading. There was none of the features that were showcased on ads. Also when I tried the free trial it had me pick a subscription. After all it was a free trial so I chose the first one because I was going to cancel it after anyways. But after I cancelled it, it was charging my card even after I had cancelled the subscription. The subscription has now expired and I’ve tried talking with Apple countless of times to remove the subscription and stop charging me but nothing is working. I’ve tried getting this app to stop charging me for months now and it won’t stop even after the subscription has expired. So if your reading this don’t download this app unless your fine with being charged after you cancelled your subscription..ZiggyR123Version: 7.23.0
Misleading Advertising and Content TheftThis app, “ISM,” is highly disappointing and unethical. The developers have been using advertisements that steal content from other companies, showcasing features and user interfaces from entirely different apps to mislead potential users. These deceptive advertisements are frequently seen on platforms like TikTok and Meta. Once you download the app, it is nothing like what was advertised.
It’s deceptive and frustrating to see a company blatantly take creative work from others to promote their own subpar app. Such dishonest practices undermine user trust and should not be allowed on the App Store. I strongly urge Apple to investigate this app and take appropriate action.
Do not be fooled by their fake promotional content—this app is not worth your time or support..Engine1071Version: 7.20.0
MidOn one hand it is fun to use. I’ll give it that. On the other hand the 7.99 a week subscription model is you paying upwards of $415 a year to have access to what is essentially instagram filters and overlays.
Now you’d think if you’re paying them feasibly hundreds of dollars a year, the app would at least function correctly, right? Nahh it crashes constantly. Like every other time you open it or every time depending on the day.
Like it is cool but this is an app that you should at max pay $5 for one time. The audacity of the subscription based model for any app so poorly made is laughable and greedy. You can probably skip this one twin..MayorbingusVersion: 7.27.1
THE RATING IS BOUGHTI thought the filters were beautiful when I saw the ad online but once I tried the app it didn’t show how much the ‘subscription’ until the Apple Pay screen came up at that point I thought 8 bucks was ridiculous. Then, once I declined it offered a trial of 1 month for 2 bucks which isn’t bad but at that point I was like nope. After that the weekly subscription price went from the original 8 to 4 dollars. How is that not a scam? And trying the filters honestly they’re very limiting and nothing other apps don’t offer for free or way cheaper.Nino1894Version: 7.27.1
Money VacuumThe app itself i’d give a 3. You can practically get the same effect on snapchat but then again you cannot truly get a nice “2000’s” look on iPhone.
THE MAIN downside is the astronomically horrendous payment plan at $8 per week which comes out to a whopping $412 dollars per year. Considering the amount of situations you’d want to take a photo with a “2000’s” feel, this app should be free.
The developers know what they’re doing and I feel bad for anyone that falls for this..NorthstruckVersion: 7.27.0
Unauthorized chargeI did the free trial and cancelled almost immediately because there was no way i was going to pay 7.99 for a week. despite it being cancelled the app charged me? it charged my card april 3 and it says my subscription ends april 7. so you charge me $7.99 for something to last 4 days when i had already cancelled it?? just taking my money when the pictures don’t even end up like how they advertise 😐.I will always fightVersion: 7.38.0
They got rid of the quick cam optionBefore they got rid of the quick cam option I would’ve said the app was a four stars but I just can’t get with the fact they took it away, all the other camera setting look basic and don’t look as good as the quick cam setting did. If I’m going to pay for a subscription I would at least want to have the features that I want, Total shame..Emeka23Version: 7.32.0
Free on the App Store, but everything is behind a paywallReally disappointed in these apps that are listed as free in the App Store, yet don’t let you proceed to use anything advertised without paying for a subscription first. Nobody wants to do a “free trial” before even seeing if the product works. Just put the app behind a price tag and make it honest. Also, no one is paying a recurring purchase monthly to use this app, it’s not worth it..Yug20Version: 7.25.3
Great filters but not for the priceThe filters are pretty solid with great quality, however it takes anywhere from a few seconds to 5 mins for the filter to load, I have to close the app frequently due to “preset failed to load” I’m currently in the free trial, and I will not continue the subscription. Unless it becomes cheaper.Jackryan.fVersion: 7.25.3
PointlessYou have to pay for this app? $7.99 A WEEK! That’s so ridiculous, this app is literally just filters I’ve found on other apps FOR FREE! But if you are considering downloading this app after reading this comment, save your time. It’s really not worth it. There’s other ways for companies to incorporate ways to get people to make purchases but to just simply use the app is just not cool at all..Angryhamster111Version: 7.37.1
What does the PRO mean?At first I was impressed with the quantity and variety of filters, but after paying the money for the Pro version, I expected to have Pro results.
The end product is sub-par at best. Low resolution pictures. I thought there was a setting but nothing. I actually wrote to customer support and am still waiting for a response. I wish I could get my money back. Very disappointed!.Superswimmer11Version: 3.12.0
Terrible-here are the reasonFirstly, you open the app and immediately get taken to payment options, the ad says that is free and doesn’t show any payment options or histories, however it does on the app. Secondly, there are better apps like OldReel that give it to you for free and you can choose whatever cameras you want, it’s the best. This app is not worth the waste, don’t buy the app.💔😭.Dessie🏳️⚧️Version: 7.28.0
Deleted immediatelySaw this from an Instagram ad and thigh, why not?
It’s trash, that’s why. Lol. There are only a few filters you can actually use, none of them are great. And most of the time the app won’t even load them- every time I tried to use one it took forever to load or said it was having trouble using the filter.
It’s just not worth your time..MegkarencVersion: 1.13.0
False chargesThey offered me a free trial so I took it so I could see if it was worth subscribing to. I didnt really find it useful so before my subscription was up I had canceled it. Now theyre trying to charge my card for the subscription although I had canceled it before the time period had ended. I have blocked them off my card and theyre still trying to find alternatives. Do NOT get this app..ChristianambVersion: 7.20.0
Cool, expensiveHonestly this app has the best filters and editing options of any other app ive ever used- but the price?? like $8 a momth maybe but weekly? HELL naw. also it literally constantly crashes and breaks. could’ve been rly cool, yall would definitely make more money if you didnt try to rip people off. less is more, i promise.1020101010Version: 7.38.0
AwfulLike another person said, this app is incredibly misleading as you cannot use a single feature without using their “free” trial (which i’ve heard charges you even after cancellation). If you have to pay to use any feature on this app, it may as well just cost money to download instead of the misleading ads..😼aaaavvvvvavavbavaaaaVersion: 7.23.0
Scam to get credit card detailsFirst of all, it doesn’t let you do anything except if you put your card number and the whole detail details. It doesn’t work as advertised on the Internet. It doesn’t have free filters and it doesn’t let you get past the put your credit card number here. Scam stay away..AlbanosKardiasVersion: 7.41.0
Just a suggestionMe personally I just don’t think the app is worth making people pay for in the end. I get y’all do a free trial before an app like this it should be free maybe certain filters and options should cost money, but the app itself should be free. We shouldn’t have to do a free trial or nothing. We should be able to just use the app..ElijemalVersion: 7.37.1
I despise what we have evolved intoThis app has fallen into internet mindset that everything has to be subscription based or ad-supported. Camera phones were supposed to democratize the ability to create artistic photos. I hope the computer engineers who were contracted to create this app has a crisis of conscience and releases a free duplicate version. I am unable to give a zero star review..628;64920Version: 7.19.1
I give one star because the filters are goodBut…… the app was advertised to me as an alternative camera app that was able to do film and all the other kind of thing. It showed me being able to take a photo on the app, I’m not sure how to describe it but it’s not the same app. No I didn’t download the wrong one, I downloaded the app off the video add.Nonzero123Version: 7.8.0
No refund??I requested a refund twice, once the reason not being written, second time BEING written, still no refund. I read the policies, it reads that if i use the app after getting the subscription i cant get a refund, okay thats reasonable, i didnt use the app though, i needed to refund that money for stuff i need and it keeps rejecting it..Marysella V.Version: 7.41.0
Good bonesThe app has pretty decent filters but, imo, too many. there is a bookmark/favorite feature BUT there isn’t a user friendly way to effective go through them. too much back & forth. still giving it the benefit of the doubt to get better..JolavillaVersion: 7.6.0
False AdvertisingThe ad I saw showed that we could take photos in the app itself, with a really cool zoom in feature. When i open the app, where is the feature? Really sad, only downloaded it cause I thought that was cool. The filters are ok and only work in certain kind of pictures. Meh..Jikooka_aahVersion: 7.51
OverpricedThere is no point of us paying $7.99 a week to take pictures that other apps allow. The quality is alright but that does not make an excuse to rob us for taking pictures. Overall the app is pretty much the same as every other Polaroid/old filter app..Jonley SprinkleVersion: 7.28.0
