Pros and cons of LensFlare Optical Effects app for iPhone and iPad

LensFlare Optical Effects app good for

I paid for LensLight and now you make LensFlare, and theyre exactly the same. Whats the point?
PLEEZ MAKE AN OPTIION TO EDIT VIDEOS WITH THESE EFFECTS PLEASE PLEASE!!!
Awesome flares and really easy to use. The only feature Im missing is video support with keyframed positioning or automatically by brightness. JJ Abrams would love it ;-)
The effects you can create with this app (and lens light) are fantastic. They look so realistic and can really punch up a so-so photo.
I don´t understand why this app and his companion Lenslight are not popular, i discovered it by chance, because are fantastic working with lights effects. Is very easy to put the focus exactly where we want and control the brigthness and even the size and rotation. And it has a large library.
Its ability to add sun and lens flares REALISTICALLY to any scene is absolutely brilliant.

Some bad moments

The app crashes in iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 after latest update (Feb. 11, 2015).
Ist alles von OpticalFlares von VideoCopilot (120$) geklaut! Copyright FTW!
I would have given this app 5 stars easy, until they made their latest update iOS 6 compatible only. Which means, anyone not ready or wanting to update to iOS 6, will not be able to acquire the new effects and improvements. Sux.
It crashes whenever you try to access photos or camera now. Dont update!
App stucked on waiting and I cannot do anything with it (rebooting, log in/out apple store, itunes on computer) other apps work and update normally
I have a very specific style Instagram account and I always used the same lens flare for all my pics. Now that its been updated, that particular flare is no longer available. Im FURIOUS about this!! PLEASE ADD THE OLD FLARES BACK!!
