Personally I really like this app. I works great, it is simple & easy to use.
Hints:
1. If applying an effect try some multiple times. For some layer the effect & others give a different result each time.
2. If uploading an animated photo. Change default duration setting to approx 2.5 seconds

Nice preview, It looks promising but does it only save the final image at 800 resolution?
I'm not understanding why all developers are not taking advantage of the Iphone's ability to save at full resolution or at least what the current hardware supports (2048 x 1536). Or better yet, offer a variety of resolutions to save at for different situations and needs. Do these developers not understand the impact of resolution on a photo?
I have a 3GS and there's no way I'd take a photo taken at the native resolution of my phone and put it into a program to output at 800 resolution. I
It's reason's like this why I choose to only buy apps from developers who allow me to save my photo at the original resolution it was taken at and I avoid all others.
What is the point of creating an app like this without the resolution? I've made a promise to myself that I will never buy another photo app that doesn't save at native resolution. So this is another big NO on my part.
