Key Weakness

Misleading advertising and subscription complaints

"Advertising a Blade Runner filter on Instagram but the app does not have one."
"Was charged $40 during a supposed free trial period."

What Users Are Saying

Could not get past the payment screen. App does not say paid. Could not get to any free version.

I used to love using prequel back when it first came out, but now you genuinely cannot use ANYTHING on the app without paying for it. It’s a huge scam and I’m very disappointed because I was a longtime user

Followed the ads on Instagram for the Las Vegas filter. Download the app, have to go through the whole sign up process only to find out there is no such filter on the app. I tried different word combinations too. Nothing shows up.

Seems like I can’t edit what parts of a song I wanna add to my own personal video?..wasn’t a problem before..what happened? You made the app less user friendly..

Won’t let you do anything unless you agree to pay for a weekly subscription to the app. Promotes itself as free and then doesn’t tell you that they expect you to pay $288 a year until after you download it and wastes your time answering a plethora of questions. Too many apps are starting to do nonse...

No way to use without agreeing to a 2-day free trial that will start billing you automatically if you don’t cancel. Shady practice. Instant uninstall

You have to agree to pay before trying the filters to see if you like them. I specifically wanted to try the Wes filter but not allowed with the paid agreement.

Insane that you have to pay for the app and STILL dont have full editing capabilities. Limited to 10 flash edits per month?? Didnt see this clearly disclosed anywhere before testing it out on various images and then the feature getting shut off for 7 days after my “10 images” were used up. Fix this....
