you know I haven't had any major issues at all with Photoforge. The app can keep the photo's native resolution — but it's not a default setting. Go to settings -> photoforge to set this up.

It's pretty hard to use the app improperly since the save dialogue is one button but on my 3GS on 3.1.2 I don't have any complaints.

It's true you're not spending $500, but with so many of these tempting apps out there I think it's still good to take a moment to pause and think on these purchases — hence the reviews thanks for stopping by

I was ready to hop on board with this app, but some of the reviews in the app store gave me pause. Did you notice any issues with your edits not saving correctly?I was also alarmed that, from the sound of it, this app doesn’t keep an image’s native resolution.

I take app store reviews with a shaker full of salt, but these issues were rampant. It is quite possible these users were not using the app properly so I figured I’d ask for your input.

Now I realized I just typed all of this rambling comment on an iPhone keypad when discussing the merit of a $2.99 app. It’s not like I’m dropping $500 on Photoshop!

Thanks for the reviews.
