Pros and cons of PicBoost app for iPhone and iPad

PicBoost app good for

Really great app!! I use it on almost every photo I edit!! Get it!
This is a really great editor. Complete and quick. Super stable. Has never crashed on me once. This developer continually puts out apps with photographers in mind. Nothing fancy. Nothing over cooked. Just solid performance and excellent results. My go to editor now.
Love this app. Really enjoy the "quick" feature. Something I would like to see is a previous button on the quick mode as I sometimes press the next button too fast and want to go back to the previous filter/texture.
Very useful. Have been using it along with iPhoto to touch up some scanned analog photos.

Some bad moments

Overlay plus you can tap picture to remove filter and compare to original. Fantastic w instagr.am
Love all the options you have with this app. You can really create and make photos your own. Must have.
Five stars for this? Think of all the app that u have- youre VERY FAVORITE APPS- THOSE Deserve five stars right? I"ll bet this wont end up being one of those apps for you. It doesnt at this version, deserve even four Its not even a game changer like I hoped it would be Check this out. Ive been having to delete apps because of low memory. I WOULD NEVER DELETE A FIVE STAR APP - even if I could get it back later as we can. BUT I DID delete a BRAND NEW APP CALLED PIC TOOLS its just not that important if an app yet. If u want better photo editors I would say without a doubt get Filterstorm 3. Thats #1 editor. And easy to use. Or even PhotoToaster. Its hella quick , smart and intuitive. Look. I bought , no I got pic tools for free. I forgot :) but I got it hoping it would rock! I heard lots of good things. Maybe read these 5 star reviews... But mine wont be but a fair "Average +" grade and review + Ive added the plus sign because I truly believe these developers WILL get this up at least to a 4 star app. I want to say 5 but I just dont know. My FAVORITE 5 STAR APPS mean a great deal to me. I cant just add the new kid on the block because of hype Lets wait and see. I promise to the devs that I will change my review according to your major releases Whatever u do, the UI MUST still keep PicTools looking like an iPhone app. See any app by Readdle or 2Do etc. If it looks like an egg, it may turn into a bird. Now spread your wings developers and fly like an egg-been-hatched! We believe in you!!! I say buy the app and a bag of birdfood to sustain the devs energy. Peace from SoCal
I use a lot of photo editing apps. This one is a great way to finish my edits, specifically the borders, but often times a layer, too. I also love that you can save a non-square photo in a square format; this is especially handy for us Instagram addicts. Thanks!!
A little slow at times but still really awesome. Lots of great features.
Great tools! Great filters to chose from and custom make your own filter!! Quick options give you more of a variety. Definitely worth it! Ive tried out tons of photography aps. This is one of my favorites and I use it with all pictures! It also gives you a square option with a background so you can post non-square photos on Instagram! 
