Reviewers often point to low prices, thorough tutorials, and photography tools that are easy to use. Many say support replies quickly and ordering feels simple. A separate group reports downloads that never work, invalid activation codes, and software crashes. These payment and activation issues led some to request refunds and close accounts.
Examples from available reviews (Apr 2015 โ Feb 2026).
Reviewer calls PhotoWhoa their favorite photography software company.
“My Favourite company for photography software”
Tutorials and tools are easy to use and high quality.
“Their tutorials and tools are very easy to use yet offer as good or better quality than other software companies.”
Purchased SuperVector crashes and is unusable on the reviewer's system.
“I bought it and I cannot use it.”
Reviewer paid but never received download and is seeking a refund.
“I paid for download, never received it, now fighting to get money back.”
Several reviewers mention fast checkout, instant download links, and tech support that helped them regain access after system changes. Many describe buying and receiving products without hassle. A noticeable group, though, says they paid but never got a download, and their refund requests were not resolved.
Many customers highlight low pricing, bundled PDFs, and subscription access to lots of training content as good value. Reviewers often say the preset library and video workshops improved their photography. A smaller set points to price misprints, mismatches with advertised pricing, and activation failures that lowered the value for them.
Many users call the software intuitive, with clear tutorials and tools they can pick up quickly. Some mention a small learning curve around exporting or finding presets and suggest better organization. A few describe crashes, sign-in problems, and installs that would not work, which blocked basic use.
Many reviews praise the tutorial quality, effective editing tools, and strong upscaling on many images. Several reviewers report uneven results depending on the image, including color shifts and harsh facial contrast in some outputs. A small but serious set says serial numbers were invalid, activation codes did not work, or the software did not match what was advertised.
Many reviewers say support answered quickly, stayed professional, and followed up. Others ran into misprinted prices in emails or slower replies when downloads failed. A few also accuse staff of copying content or writing messages with poor grammar.
Most positive reviews mention repeat purchases, high satisfaction, and recommendations to other photographers. Another cluster focuses on failed payments, activation issues, and products they could not use, leading to refund requests or subscription cancellations. The mix of enthusiastic users and those hit by transaction failures leaves opinions clearly split.
