Subscription service - avoid. Unless you want 100 subscriptions for each app you have on your iPhone. Avoid all subscriptions apps, they speaks volumes to developers more than bad ratings.

So it's baiscally Enlight with a subscription model?

Subscription? Nope.

Loved and bought previous version, but really, another subscribe mode, start to hate it. Bought Over, VSCO, but never subscribed.

I love Enlight, but I'll pass on this version. Subscription is not my thing

Subscriptions are a _huge_ cognitive load: I have to remember to shut them off, I am reminded of them every 1/2/3/6 months and have to evaluate whatever to continue using them or not. Buying is simple - I am buying something one time so I could use it later without any thoughts. I don't even have to remember about them. It should be worth it. So, no.

I'm sure this is a nice app and everything (although I am suspicious of anybody who uses the word "unleash" in their marketing copy) but is it worth yet another subscription? Not for me, especially given that the sample images supplied look like something that came out of a 1990's stock image catalog - hands holding a planet?

If I pay $30 once for a more powerful, more pro app in Affinity Photo for iPad or be milked to death for yet ANOTHER subscription, guess which one I'll choose?

I share the same sentiments as others. Subscription model is a no go for me. Paid $3.99 (or $5.99?) for the current one but ain't going down the subscription line.

Benefitted from earlier versions of Enlight. Another good photo tool.

Amazing app, bought the yearly plan without thinking.

There's two ways of looking at this I guess. Enlight users are perhaps concerned the app they bought will be ditched in favour of Photofox. Potential new users to Photofox perhaps won't see the value add, and the subscription model always scares the bejaysus out of folks (forgetting to cancel, or pay for a life model that only lasts a few months etc.) I note the developer replying to reviews in App Store saying it's because previous business model wasn't sustainable, but then this new model perhaps isn't getting a lot of love either, so that's maybe shaky business too? As yet, I'm undecided - the scarcity mindset suggests jumping over to this because Enlight will be ditched, and it's not a bad app (just expensive), whilst the financial mindset says subscription models are the work of the devil.
