  Cannot save edited images?

  August 2017 Review - What is going on? Do we have to pay for Pro to be allowed to save images from the Edit function? Suddenly I cannot export any edited images. No matter what edits are made it says “Failed to save image” when trying to save it to my computer. If this functionality is now part of a paid version, then this app is officailly useless. December 2016 Review - This app used to be great, but the recent updates have made it infuriating and basically useless. Used to be able to drag and drop images from a folder into the app, albeit one at a time, which was silly but it worked. That feature has been removed. Each time you open a new image in Edit mode, the menu resets back to the beginning and you have to navigate to where you were. There is no way to store the prefered folder for saving images. Each time you open the app, the folder setting is cleared and has to be reset. When switching from Collage to Edit, the folder setting is also cleared. For the love of god Fotor, just make a permanent setting for this! And recently, the worst possible thing… every 3rd image edited or created, when you click on the browse button to select the folder that wasn’t saved the last time you selected it, the app freezes and stops responding. The only option then is to force quit, relaunch, reset all your settings, and start again. Seriously Fotor, get it together and hire some qualified people design your app and make it work. This isn’t rocket science.

  Dope app for someone who knows it and someone like me!

  I don’t know jack about photo/video editing and I have friends who do this for a living and enjoy the hell out of it. I had a couple over and they were looking at what I was tinkering with and they thought I’d been using a pro version of Photoshop or something else with how I’ve done and I’m happy to say it was this! Its pretty easy to use and I’m still getting better. There’s a big difference from when I’ve started and now. Its not like you’ll see my content in a magazine, but its a lot of fun to play with. I don’t use my computer for much since I have a phone, but its nice to have an app to tinker with and learn and enjoy. I love to mess around and f stuff up. If you know how to edit and don’t want to pay, this is the app. If you want to learn and have dope pictures, this will do it too. Just tinker and learn and get better. If I can do it and get better you can too.

  I love this app!

  I’m a food blogger and use this app for creating collages of my photos. My opinion may therefore be less useful because I’m not using Fodor's Edit or Design functions and I’m using just a handful of commands in the Collage function. I also don’t change the photos, unless it might be to zoom in on the food. But after the complexity and clutter of Lightroom, I find Fotor refreshingly simple and direct. I have my collages created and posted in minutes. It’s an enormous convenience to my workflow and I highly recommend it. I downloaded the app, so I don’t have much experience with the online interface, but I’ve seen it and it looks similar to the app, which is pretty easy to figure out and to use. Keep in mind, that this app is FREE! It’s an outstanding value for the price. Update: I’ve gone to the Pro version because it’s still so inexpensive and the program is of great value to me.

  A Wonderful Creative Tool!

  I’m a professional artist and use this app all the time in my work. I can take a photo of a painting I’ve done and within minutes create multiple versions of it for future reference. It gives me a chance to play with color, contrast, cropping, etc., generating new “paintings” from one I’ve already done. The variety of effects and adjustments are amazing, but the best part is that it’s so easy to use. When you open the app, there’s a nice big screen with all the tools on the side; no pull-down menus - it’s all “right there.” The only thing I wish it had would be a simple “invert” feature that would instantly change dark/light and color to it’s opposite. I can’t speak to the full version, but I haven’t had any trouble with the free tools. I plan to upgrade for the simple reason that it’s such a great app and deserves support!
