No RAW support
It’s not apparent until you buy it, but unlike the Tonality or other good photo apps, this one does not support RAW/NEF files. If you want to edit RAWs, you’ll need to pay an additional $40.

I enjoyed that this app, unlike others, supports being an extension of the Photos app. The extension functionality helps with editing RAWs in Photos in some great ways!
However, when I tried to use this app as an extension, I was informed that I, a paying customer, still needed to pay again.
So basically, you’re paying for the price for the app again, but to get a smaller ammount of functionality to the app itself.
The description says that you can edit shots from your DSLR, and use “all popular image formats”, misleading you to believe that this functionality is actually in the software you’re buying.
Really, it’s in a psuedo expansion, that currently costs 266% of the price for the app, to upgrade to “pro”.
If it really cost the dev so much extra money to do RAW support, I’d rather just buy a RAW-only app that couldn’t edit non-RAW.
However, it seems like a hidden fee. I’m very disappointed.
Regardless, the app works pretty well, once you already process a file it looks nicer, and cleaned up.
For that, and the Photos app extension support, I’d give it 2 stars.
However, I’m still beating myself up for not seeing the other review that pointed this nasty secret out.
