LUCiD by Perfectly Clear App Reviews

I think it would be better if there was one less step to get to the next photo as in the original version of this. It also does seem very similar to perfectly clear so I would like to see this app expand a little bit more with the type of adjustments. I did not have any trouble operating the app or any freezing like some of the other reviews said. Good start.

Just crashes. Never even got my first photo done.

Click on open picture and wait 15-20 seconds. Scrolling to choose a picture freezes constantly for 10 seconds at a time. The editing might be good but I cant actually get to the pics I want to edit. I liked perfectly clear but this seems to do almost the same thing but slower and with too many bugs to actually use.

This is definitely what you need if you love taking pics!!

Awesomeness!!!❤️❤️❤️

I know this company takes photography very seriously, and provide hi end photo Lab software for professionals. Thats not me, I just want to take photos that look great. This app is doing it for me. My photos look amazing. Love it when science and people “click” through technology

Add ability to save as tiff and will give five stars

Ok this app needs a mayor update on bugs cuz Im starting to hate this app

Lucid does exactly what its supposed to do, makes my pictures look much better. Amazing corrections, specially on those snowy mountain pictures. Great app, great value. Thanks!

This app gives fast results and makes amazing improvements. I use it for both iPhone images and those synced from my pro cameras via WiFi apps.

I just saved a pic from my messages to photos and the app cant see it. It only sees about 900 of my thousands of pictures. Useless!

Lucid is working great for me. No crashes, no lag. I love the simplified features, very intuitive, and the swipe “before and after". No problem accessing my images. My only wish is that I could “save over” my images, rather than have “lucid” version and originals, but its probably better to default that way. I’ve only been using it for a couple of days, but Im not having the problems others have reported—I’m running it on iOS 9.1 on a 6s, and the latest iOS on a iPad Air.

Make your everyday photos look stunning! I constantly get compliments on how great my photos look! The best part is my friends and family think Im an editing wizard! It is literally done in seconds!

I was amazed at the difference it made, and the time it saved me.. I am a Lightroom user.

I want to like Lucid more than I actually do. Its got a LOT of powerful and incredibly useful stuff going on under the hood. The power there certainly merits 5 stars. And the inclusion of additions like a crop tool means not needing to lose more image quality after subsequent reopening of a JPG in a second app. Often now, all the tools I need are in a single app. (The prior Perfectly Clear app lacked that.) These things and the other new filters are all really great. Powerful and useful stuff. That said, the execution of it all is so bad I find myself opting for the old app as well as the image reduction loss resulting from having to use multiple apps. I find that preferable to the work flow here. The way tools are now buried multiple steps below in separate screens that leave the image one is working on is just not good for workflow. The prior apps sidebar was MUCH better. One cant jump back and forth between sliders here to hone in on the image theyre going after quickly/easily. The speed of this software is also a big problem. Running changes to an image on this version of their software results in MUCH more lag than the same tweak in the prior Perfectly Clear. With a seconds or more long lag between some adjustments and when the user actually sees the end result on the screen its a really miserable experience to tweak the image...especially at the fine tuning level which is what this app should be about. This either didnt happen under the prior app OR it was short enough a delay as to be inconsequential. But this borders on unusable at moments. Bad enough that at times Ill question whether the image needs the fix enough to justify the hassle of Lucid. Perhaps if Id never owned the prior app Id notice nothing but the power here and be pleased, but because I did own it and know this company can do better (love their desktop plugins for Lightroom and Photoshop as well) the app just feels a huge letdown. Hopefully these problems are fixable. But my concern is that in the past Perfectly Clear was left with problems unaddressed for extended periods of time. At one point it felt as though it was no longer even being supported. Anyway, Id REALLY like to like Lucid more. Was such a fan of the prior app I convinced multiple others they needed it. Not anywhere close to feeling that way at this point with the current app and just grateful I still have the older versions to work with as I think theyre no longer available in the store. A shame to remove those when this offering just really doesnt feel ready. (Actually, it feels as though its 95% of the way to being a great...maybe even the BEST, must have...image cleanup program on the App Store, but the issues with speed and the bad front end are so bad they just completely drag it down. Those aspects are THAT bad...bad enough in my opinion to turn something almost perfect into something to avoid.) For all the additional filters and tools this has it just isnt as good a product as what they offered prior despite whats under the hood being great. Hope that changes.

Also missing a landscape toggle. UI doesnt allow easy access to folders in your photos (i.e. Favorites). To work on multiple photos have to save and exit back to main menu to open next.

There seems to be a major flaw with the exposure. When you apply "fix" I get horizontal banding across the image. If I turn the exposure off entirely, the banding goes away. Unfortunately, exposure is a very important component in image correction. Fix this problem and I will review the app again. Until the exposure control is fixed, the app is useless. iPhone 6s Plus

Its soooooooooo slooooooow.

I never, ever write reviews. Like, never. But I wanted to for this app. Its incredible - what it can do for the modest price is insane. Ive got a ton of photo apps and I find myself coming back to this one every single time. Get it, you wont be disappointed.

Im pretty picky about my photos. Thats why I love this app. It makes it super easy to make my photos look awesome... often with only one click. This app is very fast and takes so little work to make my iPhone pictures look great. Highly recommended and worth 5 times as much.
