Pros and cons of KaleidaCam app for iPhone and iPad

KaleidaCam app good for

This is a great app. The effects you can do beat any other app that offers the same thing. Well worth the money
It is a great app, and I frequently use it to modify my artwork, then build on it from there. Well worth the price and the small cost to upgrade to the three extra filters is worthwhile. I think one thing could be improved: the app cuts off the edges of images and they look unfinished at times.
BUT keep it Update!!! dont leave this beautiful app at her destiny :) good job!
I have a kaleidoscope that I enjoy looking at a few times a year. Then I put it back where it sits on the shelf using up space. Now I just look through this app which gives me the same beautiful affects, but which uses no space in my home. This probably wont be your number one app, but it should absolutely be in your collection.
So much more to this app than it seems at first glance. See your images in ways you never imagined. Simply addicting.

Some bad moments

The apps latest update is a HUGE disappointment. Im using an iPhone 4 & the app does NOT save at full resolution anymore. Too bad I found out too late, after I paid money for the in-app purchase extra effects. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. Without full resolution it is a 1star app, with full resolution it was worthy of a 4-5star rating! SHAME
Well designed interface. Plenty of grid layouts and lots of fun! Very reliable (very few times it has quit when saving...) and can save your creations directly into your main photo album... and it will save in full res! I belive you need to see examples to really appreciate the power of this app: check user brewsterlegacy on instagram where all images are created with this app. Recommended to all!
Just realized i can use my pictures too, must be new update. Love it!!
Dont buy if you want to edit existing pics, as it crashes EVERYTIME I want to upload a pic
Love using the slider to change the effects. When editing a pic from the camera roll, try dragging your finger across the photo to vary the effect.
Still love this app, wish they could do the stuff I listed before... Beautiful. Would like the option to pick the points for focus and exposure (with locks). 5meg is nice but 8 would be better. Thanks.
