  • Crashes too much. Why?

    Kind of find it hard to believe an app of this quality can crash so much. Also slow to react to changes. I’m running on a 15” Macbook Pro TouchBar with High Sierra 10.13.3.

  • Lacks very basic functions

    This is really a beginner’s app. It does some interesting things, but it lacks very basic features like being able to zoom in on an image to inspect it at full size. This is the first graphics program I’ve ever seen that doesn’t have a zoom function. Plus, there’s no way to add effects, textures, overlays, etc., so you’re stuck with only the ones that come with it & you pretty quickly get tired of those. Flare is a good idea with some promising features but needs work to be very useful. If the developers added a few basic things it would be killer. but ss it is, it’s still strictly for kids.

  • Does not work well with El Capitan

    The old version served me well with the old operating system, but it would not work well with El Capitan…so thinking rev 2 would be better I purchased it and am deeply dissapointed that it loads slowly and it takes forever to render a coverted image. I sincerly hope that an update will be coming out soon to bring this program up to minimum standards of performance.

  • Problems Running Under El Capitan

    Worked flawlessly in Yosemite. Not so much with El Capitan. Takes forever to load filter previews. Application clocks and then stops responding.

  • Easy to use and customize

    I use Lightroom for much of my photography, but I’ve been looking for an app that lets me quickly have fun with my pictures. This is definitely it! Plus the iOS app makes it easy to apply my favorite filters immediately on the phone.

  • Much better. Keep on improving.

    Very similar to version 1, but with a different UI. Few dozens of overlays that make your images look analog. Pretty good.

  • Cleaner, more powerful, and yet underpriced!

    Yeah, in a world with free photography apps galore $10 seems like a lot — however, when you have an app as powerful, as versatile as Flare is — it’s so little money for what it does. Sure, you can tweak each filter, but the presets are terrific jumping off points for creative work. Flare 2 makes me want to take more photos!
