User Reviews for Colorize - Color to Old Photos

Fun enough

If you have a lot of B&W photos and some patience this app will hit a home run about 1 in 10 times. Is that worth the monthly fee? Depends on the user. Most of the time clothing converts to some shade of gray often with annoying red tints and patches. Hands, feet, and ears frequently stay their original shade giving them the appearance of dead limbs. Objects of obvious color such as flowers inevitably convert to grayish or brownish colors. If your originals are out of focus you are probably out of luck. And the auto-crop sometimes takes off the top of a head or mutilates group photos. I know it’s just an app, but if these issues could be corrected or if colors could be manually attached to objects, this app would rock. As it is, for me anyway, for now I will hang around for those home runs. Ciao.

Half Way There

One out of nine images you process will be useable.The ones that are keepers are amazing.The artificial intelligence is mind blowing.But there’s always a hand that gets missed, while the rest of the fleshy parts are great.It’s understandable that body parts get missedUnforgivable, however, is the fact that there is no way to go back and fix whatever the algorithm missed.You can’t expect perfection from a machine.So I have to go off and find some other program to use for cleaning up the mess.Programs like Hair Color add similar tints, but the color picker doesn’t allow you to pick up colors from the image itself.The lack of frisket masks makes Hair Color worse than tinting a photo with Marshall’s oil tints on a photographic print.I’ve tried literally dozens of beautify programs to enhance the output of this software. It works great. Sometimes. The whole process is just too unpredictable.Why must developers see this as an either/or proposition????Either machine intelligence OR human driven interface!!!!That’s completely nuts!!!Let the machine try very hard to get the job done.THEN let the human step in and clean things up._______________________________________________**Update**Since posting this review, all save options have disappeared.As if one out of nine photos wasn’t bad enough, now I get none out of every none.

Dramatic Results

Colorize produces dramatic results in an instant when I point my IPhone at BxW prints of family from as much as a century ago. I could even say breathtaking results. The mostly lifeless old prints in my collection of parents or friends from yesteryear "come alive" again. Family reunion from 1947, no problem. Parents wedding portrait, easy-peasy. I have been sharing the colorized photos on Facebook and via email to great acclaim. Colorize does a spectacular job with faces. The tint and tone is so real looking. I happily recommend Colorize to anyone with a drawer full of old, maybe dog-eared prints.

80% awesome

So I’ve just started using the app and honestly the pictures look pretty awesome. My 2 main issues so far are....1. The slider doesn’t go all the way across the photo. So there’s always a strip of B/W down the right side of every photo. I don’t need a slider at all, and it just seems to be getting in the way.2. I have no control over the cropping, so for the problem above I would just shrink the photo slightly to make sure the colorizing goes all the way across, but I can’t, so I don’t. The lack of these basics options are frustrating. Pictures look great for the parts that get covered! Hopefully that’ll be fixed soon or I’ll figure out a way around it.

It really works!

This app is amazing. I was skeptical at first because I have tried other apps promising to turn my black and white photos into color ones and I’ve never found an app that produced photos that looked authentic like this app does. I am even able to add color to very old black and white photos and the photos turn out looking authentically vintage but in color instead of the original black and white. This app is well worth the money and it has given me the ability to colorize black and white photos that are very meaningful to myself and my family. Thank you, app developers! 💜

A Great Start for a Great Tool

I appreciate and am grateful for what the app does, many thanks to the developers for this program. It's fun turning black and white photos into color photos.Still, when the render process happens I noticed that it leaves spots of the photos I'm using untouched with color. A majority of the photo will be colorized very well and it's quite remarkable I think how well and seemingly magically this app performs this function. But, in pretty much every photo I've uploaded and imported. The render process will always leave spots of the photo I'm using untouched and those spots remain black and white or sepia or whatever else the original tint was in the source.I haven't tried taking a scan of a black and white photo to colorize yet, so the app may provide better results using it that way.Overall, though, I'm happy and grateful for such a nice, free application, thank you. Maybe with some updates to the program that I'm sure will follow. The developers could hone the process some more so that the render and transformation process doesn't leave any spots of imported photos untouched please. Thanks if you'll look into this issue.Also, thank you again for this wonderful free tool and if you'll consider looking into refining and improving the colorization process and God bless.

Please help!

Just paid for the 2 years. I colorized a picture on my photo gallery on my phone. Turned out great! How and what do I do to see my pictures to colorize them? I will update my rating when I find out how to get my pictures to colorize. This is the only reason I got app is to use my camera roll. If I can’t use pictures on my camera roll, I want to unsubscribe to the app. Which I’d hate to have to do, but app will be worthless to me 🥺Thank you for replying to my problems and telling me what app I needed. The colorize old photos app works great! Some photos colorize better than others, but I love it! Please refund me my 2 year subscription on the scanning app, since I’ll be deleting it since I can’t use it. I will definitely update my review when I get refund for the other app that I can’t use. Thanks again for your help! 😊 SusieCox

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SCAM

I paid $7.99 for a monthly renewable subscription. As soon as I installed it, ads start popping up. They ask you to pay an additional $0.99 to remove the ads. I paid even though it is unethical since I am already suscribed. After subscribing, it only allows me to scan pictures. I am unable to upload pictures from my saved pictures in my phone. They then ask you to pay extra for that function. This is one of the worst scams I have seen in apps. And before people think I don’t inow my way around apps I want to share that I design apps for a big tech company! Don’t buy from this scammers!I nearly forgot to mention that I cancelled the app inmediately and it shows I was charged and I may still continue to use it until March 5. Another scam!It won’t work! It prompts me to purchase it again!

Flags and Bunting in pictures, the system still does not recognize flags!

This has done a great and excellent job for me so far, but in a lot of pictures when flags and bunting of Red, White & Blue the software still does not recognize this and color them! So far some pictures I knew would not be good for color but they come out fantastic, it’s been great for me but a few tweaks need to be worked out! 👍 A great app to use to add color!If anyone gives it a low star, it’s has to be the competition posting, because without a subscription you get the tools needed that’s great, but I use it so much that I did get a subscription and never have regret it! Just if the flags and bunting would color in, it would be the Ultimate app! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here’s a few tips to the developer.

Naturally the software used is infantile, but it is quite amazing. It record images with a great recollection for colors-sometimes. Skin tones are amazing but don’t always cover the entire body. Sometimes the face will be perfect but the chest or arms and hands won’t be colored. Other times the clothes are passed over entirely. I’m sure as time goes on the recoloring will better, but for now it is an amazing tool. Hopefully someday you will be able to totally recolor an image with a fair degree of accuracy. Also another small thing, when uploading, you should be allowed to choose what album you want to search through. Scrolling through my moments for a specific date is quite a pain. Other than that, great app!
