User Reviews for A Color Story: Photo + Video

I feel inspired

Using a color story has been very fun. The plus packs are great, and have made me feel much more inspired as I take and edit photos. I also like the grid function, so I can see what my photos look like next to one another. I wish that it wasn’t so expensive to get all the plus packs and editing tools to keep (I’m not a super fan of subscription services, so far I’ve only bought the filters and effects I like). That said, I’ve still enjoyed using the app quite a lot. I take more pride in taking a nice photo now, and pay much closer attention to color! I feel like I’m starting to develop my own visual language or style in photographs, which I’ve never felt before in this medium. Hope others enjoy as well!**update on current edition: it seems like all the glitches with the most recent update have been resolved—it works fine. I do wish that I could access photos from my shared photo albums in iPhoto from the app. I also don’t like that more and more features move from being a part of the free version to items that must be purchased. I can tell that they are reaaaaaallly pushing the subscription service, which I don’t like because then I don’t permanently own the tool/filters.

Dare I Say it...

Dare I say it, but today I cancelled my 2 year long VSCO subscription and have moved to Color Story for my editing needs. I use it in conjunction with a few apps - an app dedicated to shooting, color correcting (you guys!) and an app for blemishes/small details ACS doesn’t handle and it’s a dream. It has made my feed more fluent and visually thematic and I love it. I love the new direction my Instagram feed has taken and ACS has helped me achieve that. I love the fact that I can plan out how my feed is going to look with the use of the grid. I don’t bother with e captions, but it’s such a useful tool to visualize how my feed will turn out once my scheduled posts hit my feed. I’m so happy I bit the bullet and paid for a yearly subscription. My one suggestion is the layout of the filters. I have a lot of trouble sifting through so many on the bottom of my screen. I wish there was a dedicated filter screen in which I could see what many filters would look like applied at a glance.

So many options, so much control

I do the annual subscription and I have for the last couple years - I used to buy packs individually but sometimes they didn’t turn out how I thought so I’m happy to be able to use everything available. There’s so much control which is nice - opacity of filters, being able to move and flip effects and even being able to change the warmth, brightness and saturation of a filter. This is my #1 photo editing app, I’ve stopped using everything else including VSCO and Afterlight 2. The adjust function is amazing, the curves tool helps so much to get the light perfectly where you want it. I’ve been a fan of ABM for at least a decade and they know what they’re doing when it comes to making photos beautiful. Also: even though they have the Filmm app, you can filter videos with this too, but there’s a lot less functions and options than with Filmm and you can’t preview the whole video/boomerang but if you want to make a small or fun change before posting an insta story, it’s great for that too. Highly recommend.

Problem fixed!

Update 8/17- Got a prompt response from the developers, who explained a small bug with the update that has since been fixed. They recommended updating the app and trying the restore purchases option again, and this time it worked! All my prior purchases are there again, and the app is working the way it always has for me. Big props to the team for responding with a solution so quickly. I am happily using this app again.This app used to be fantastic, but as of yesterday’s update it seems to have forgotten all of the filters I’ve purchased over the past year and a bit. Now it’s prompting me to either buy ACS+, or buy all the filters again individually. Since I don’t plan to buy everything for a second time, I’m going to have to say goodbye to this app until this gets sorted out. Few things are as frustrating as being prompted to pay for things you’ve already purchased.

Love this app but....

I absolutely love this app. I’ve purchased all of the filters, and I use it multiple times a day. However, since the last update it crashes continuously in the middle of editing on my iPad pro. I can be one step away from being done with an edit and it will crash, or I can be on the first step of editing and it will crash. There really is no rhyme or reason to when it will crash, it just does. If this were fixed it would be 5 stars easy. On another note, it’s super simple to navigate and learn. I love that I can edit even the smallest things in a picture. I do wish there was a way to easily compare an original picture to the edited picture or even flash back one step to see the difference. Definitely love the app, just wish this bug would be fixed with crashing on the iPad Pro. I’ve restarted my device, I’ve checked for updates, and I’ve made sure the app is closed completely, and it’s still doing it.

Used to love this app

I’ve had this editing app for at least 3 years, and have bought all of the filter packs as they came along. At $2-$3 per pack it’s not a big deal, but when I’ve definitely paid for at least 20, maybe 30 of them, it’s kind of an investment. Since they rolled out the monthly subscription price, something I would be interested in had I not already purchased all of the packs, the app has gotten more and more glitchy, to the point where I can’t edit a single photo or video and save it without it crashing, not saving what I’d done. I love the filters and all of the capabilities of this app which is why I’ve dedicated so much time and money into it, but it’s very frustrating to not even be able to use it at all, let alone have an option for the monthly subscription that deducts the cost of what I’ve already paid. I’ve been a loyal customer for 3 years, I also have their sister app, Filmm+ which has presented all of the same problems and won’t let me save anything anymore. Please fix these problems and I’ll return to these apps.

as close to perfect as you can get.

Aside from the apps that came with my phone—text, email, weather, etc—this and Instagram are the only apps I have on my phone and use. And they go together perfectly. I have tried a number of photo editing apps in the past but ended up deleting them because this one is as close to perfect as you can get for a photo editing program on a phone. There’s a huge number of filters and new packs are released periodically. Always on trend colors and looks for your pictures, and with a wealth of classics, too. The filter packs are usually done as collaborations with well-known artists who have very specific styles, and so you end up being able to elevate own iPhone photos into works of art themselves. I use filters from every single pack and enjoy that you can create your own folder of favorites, which makes accessing them quick and easy. There are comprehensive editing tools as well like sharpen and brighten and temp editing. I appreciate that you can edit videos with the filters, too, because Instagram’s app is sorely lacking with video editing tools. I’m a dedicated fan of this app for life.

Update is Meh.

I loved this app until the most recent update. It was always my go to and now I’m a bit disappointed. I think the update isn't as user friendly. Not really a fan of the the new visual icon set up for the filters and effects. The color text box really interferes with seeing the filter effect icon preview. Not a huge issue, but something i noticed immediately. Locating “saved” and “recent” edits takes a bit of getting use to, but what has really shattered my heart is actually using the Saved/Recent edits. Before the update i could easily scroll through my saved edits at the bottom the bottom of my image, click any one I’d like and see a preview of how my image would look. I could keep previewing other saved edits before i decided which one id like to use. Now i actually have to click “use” from the pop up without actually previewing my image with that saved edit. And after i click the use button and realize i don’t actually like that edit with my photo, i then have to go through and undo every single filter layered in the saved edit. I have to start the process all over again hoping the next saved edit i choose will work for my image. If not, the undo process begins again. This is really disappointing and makes the saved edit feature almost useless.

Most Robust Photo Editing App

I’ve used multiple photo editing apps and this one is far and beyond the best. Being a photoshop action creator myself, I truly appreciate the subtle nuances of A Color Story. I appreciate the lovely aesthetics of the design. The presets are not over the top and create truly instagram-worthy edits. And it has curves! Say no more! The curves feature is essential for custom edits. I’ve enjoyed playing, experimenting, and editing my photos using this app. The only feature I would love to see implemented would be for the personalized saved editing presets to allow the user to remove individual steps in the preset formula. Sometimes a saved preset is perfect, minus one or two minor settings like exposure. I’m so thrilled to use this app and can’t wait to keep churning out beautiful, professional-looking phone edits. Thanks for the incredible thought and detail built into this user-friendly app!

Why not the date of the photo created?

I love the app but my only gripe is that it saves as the date that it is edited, not the date of the actually photo taken. E-mailed customer service asking if there was an option to save the edited photo as date taken instead of date edited and the response was “Thanks for your question! Since many of our users like editing their photo and sharing immediately to Instagram, A Color Story records the date as when the photo was edited. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to change the date. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!” Yeah.. it is an inconvenience since I don’t have the time to edit the same day as the photo was taken I have to go back and find the date of the photo I edited and go edit the date on the computer when I get the chance and that makes it even more difficult to keep photos and videos organized and harder to find when trying to make photo year books or anything like that. Definitely something this app needs to work on. At least have an on and off option if “many” of their users don’t worry about the time stamp. Especially if I’m paying for this app.
