Finally, you can take the photo you actually meant to take! Lightleap (formerly Quickshot) is a photo editor that proves you no longer need to be a professional photographer to take amazing photos.
Let’s face it - your photos don't always come out the way you expected. You pull out your phone to capture something awesome, but the photo you take just doesn't do the scene justice. The background is too blurry, the lighting is just all wrong, or maybe the scenery needs a retouch – something only an experienced editor can do, right?
The Lightleap app is here to change that! With this editor app, you can capture the beauty and magic you see with your own eyes – or enhance it. You become the editor with filters, effects, and retouch tools at your fingertips.
There’s no need to spend hours pulling your hair out as you learn how to use professional editor software. The Lightleap image editor app takes moments to retouch your photos into eye-catching images with professional vibes, using stunning pre-set filters and effects.
With unique, easy-to-use features like background Sky, Heal, Effects, Filters and Looks, every photo you take from now on will be picture perfect. If you’ve dreamed of taking Instagram-worthy images to inspire the world, this is your chance.

Without doubt these are the best free or paid for photos apps. I never leave written reviews but the team behind this app went out of their way for me so had to do the same.I have had the paid version of all their photo and video apps and a few months ago I noticed a feature had been removed. I got in touch with the team to say it was a good feature and really missed it , I got a reply saying they would bear in mind my feedback for a later release....a couple of months later I received another email telling me the feature had been reintroduced . Guys you are the best 🥳 and your apps are too.... IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY ONE PHOTO EDITING APP THIS IS THE ONE.
Great app but...
Marky155
Thanks for a great app... it’s one of my primary tools in my tool box but... for the love of all that is good, please create an easy way to clear all previous sessions ( like a one button clear all) as when you use the app extensively as I do, it constantly freezes up or crashes due to having too many sessions and you have to clear them all one by one or just a couple at a time, since if you try to do too many, it crashes.Another well needed feature would be to save and apply a preset, for example I have a common configuration that I use that gives me my aesthetic through specific adjustments, filter strength etc... I have to manually do it every time, it would be an insane time saver to have a preset to apply straight away.Thanks

You can’t try out without paying

Sadly, a bit short sighted of the app developers/sellers. I downloaded this app and I would certainly pay for it if it does what they say as easily as it says. But I couldn’t test it out so I uninstalled it.UPDATE: thanks to the developers for their response explaining that you can test before you try (though not explaining how-read on if you’re wondering). I had by then realised from other reviews there must be a way to get past the purchase screen. There’s a “x” but it can be hard to see-top right. So I had a go and the app was ok but the object removal is clunky. The sky effects are fun. But this app is not for me.
Developer Response
Happy to explain, you don't have to pay to use Lightleap! The app is free to download and has many features you can use however you like and at no cost. There are also Pro features that require making a purchase, but that's completely optional. If you feel Pro isn't for you, stick to the free tools only and you will be able to save any Project.Feel free to email our Customer Experience team if you have any questions, we'd be happy to clarify any misunderstanding - lightleap.support@lightricks.com.
Cancelling my subscription due to it crashing all the time
baxyboonmh
I’ve had Lightleap for a couple years now and paid for a full subscription. At first it seemed to work well but for the last 20 months it has been soooo slow. It takes about 5 mins to load the app initially, once it’s crashed a few times. Then when editing, you will click one button and it stalls for several mins until it lets you press anything else. And this goes on continuously. Literally so frustrating! I update it religiously, have spoke to the support but it’s never got any better. It was only last night that I realised that I’ve just got used to how slow this app is and I thought…why am I paying for this..when there’s a million other editing apps! Pleaseeee try sort out all the lagging, as you would be the best editing app out there if you did!
Developer Response
Our sincere apologies, this shouldn't happen! Please email our Customer Experience team so we can look into these crashes and assist you - lightleap.support@lightricks.com. We'd like to help!
We’ve made some general improvements & bug fixes.
