Great app
I purchased this app for starry effects and it included just 5. The only thing they need to fix is the ability to erase part of the layer, not just move and resize it. It will be so useful to produce more realistic photos.

Hubble-like visions
The Alien Sky app provides everything you need to create amazingly realistic pics of the cosmos. If you are intrigued by the beauty of the universe, you'll have a lot of fun creating incredible pics limited only by your imagination. The tools are there to work with.

This is an awesome app with tons of features. With some imagination, some pics can get edited to crazy limits.

Aliensky
All of the brain fever apps are made with really quality graphics and an interface that is pretty easy to understand...the bundle I bought, and it is really worth it ... If you want to see what you are able to do...follow them on Instagram.....It may have taken circular app idea from tiny planet, but it has so many more features that are all mede with the highest quality graphics....Its great!!!

Very good effects , easy to move and create images. You can save or send it to various sites.
2016-05-10
Really fun and feature packed
Great app for adding special effects, layers are nice, some textures, very flexible adjustments. Highly recommended.

This is an amazing application that you can get into instantly and make incredible art. With some practice you will be able to pop out jaw-dropping sceneries.

Grammar and Spelling
Great app. What country are the developers from? Lots of errors. Aricraft, curios, etc. Not a good calling card.
2016-02-11
GREAT APP!- Create wallpapers easy!
I used this app, and within 3 minutes, I had my new wallpaper. There are so many cool filters and covers the possibilities are almost endless! I got this app for free limited time, but I would have definitely paid for it! Great app and download now!
2016-02-11
Fast & Cool
This software run very fast on iPhone and it also has some very cool effects. The splash screen is also really really cool.
2016-02-11
Fabulous
I own all of Brain Fever Media apps and they're all great.
I use them for textures in photo editing, or directly if using the light leaks.
The quality is top notch, and with the layering/masking functionality within the app you can do quite a bit of editing in-app as well.
2016-02-04

Let's you reimagine photos with this easy to use app

Alien skies
Great fx
2015-08-19
Pretty cool
This app is a lot of fun but the biggest problem I have for so many pictures I try to use this on is that the opacity of the moons and stuff cant be full strength. Meaning that if I put a moon on a light sky it disappears. It's still transparent. I wish you could make them solid for certain images. I have just about all of the apps they make and the lens effects and textures are all the same between them. I think the $2.99 ones are a little pricey. All in all they create pretty cool effects and I'm glad I bought them. They Don't look cheap.
Edit, there is a way to make the planets opaque which is great! Might have always been there and just hadn't found it. I ended up buying all of the apps he makes. They are all high quality and do great things. It's nice you can send an image you are working on from one app to another really easy. I've made some really cool stuff with all these apps.
Edit, this app along with the rest of the ones they make are at the very top of the game. These are a few of the Best apps you can get right now.
2015-08-11
Good but glitches
It's a great app with great effects, however the zoom feature bugs out a lot and zooms out in the middle of a task which becomes very irritating. There should be a sharpness feature for the effects and a way to either zoom in more, or bring a feature where you can soften the edges of an effect. I know it can be done with the masking effect but it's not that accurate.
However still a very fun app
2015-07-26
Update please
Issues with bringing images to from to others, or reverse, also these images are so transparent, you can't use against daytime photos. Would really love to give 5 stars. Please update.
2015-05-25
Excellent!!!
This aliensky app is amazing, easy to use and contributes greatly to creativity!!!! Love to use it and I always recommend it to friends. Thanks for doing such a great job and excellent upgrade!!!
2015-03-24
ALWAYS FUN
I love this app so much! Can't wait for updates!
2015-03-01
Cool app but
I love the idea most of the objects to drop in are great. Would like to see more nebulas. It would also be really great if the images were vector. I don't really understand why they're not. Most of the designs come out rather blurry unfortunately.
2015-02-24
You hang the moon.
Literally when I wanna hang the moon or stars I go here to do so. I post a lot of work under capone_thedog via Instagram ..and I use that app often and a lot . It is one of my go too apps when I want to make something stellar and cool ...so go get it ..want it ..and make it yours :)
2015-02-11
excellent!!!
I've made some awesome photos with this....
2015-02-10
The best galaxy FX app out there!
I'm a graphic designer and either edit photos or create works from scratch on my phone. I have over 100 apps to do that with and I find myself using AlienSky all the time. It's a powerful and beautiful app for adding stars, planets, galaxies, moons and all kinds of other intergalactic visuals to your images. It allows you to mask, export PNGs for higher resolution pics and much more. Whether you're a photographer looking to add very subtle nightsky effects to your photos or a digital artist looking to create cosmic themed pieces, this app will not disappoint you. They're also constantly adding new features to the app so I know that it's always getting updated and cooler. Just love this app.
2015-01-29
After reinstall, app works normally
Initially the app didn't work for me, I reinstalled it and now it's working perfectly fine. A lot of really cool features which I'm happy to be able to use now. When I emailed the app contact about the problem they were very quick to respond with assistance! Thanks!!
2015-01-24
1 for now; can't download
PURCHASED THE BUNDLE AND CANT DOWNLOAD THIS APP
2014-12-20
5 stars
This app makes amazing realistic looking cosmic images. Sure some will look stupid if u just throw a giant Jupiter on your image, but if you take time to get the colors and tone correct it looks jaw droppingly realistic. One concern is most of the objects require a very dark background or blue sky background (in which case the objects show up white-ish like the moon) so it is harder to do more creative edits on multicolored bright backgrounds or overlaying other objects. Anyway great app
2014-12-20
sadness
I would've rated it a five because it was awesome til the update, I want my money back.. I can't even use it.don't buy guys, or update it if you have the option.
2014-12-09
Freezes with new update
This used to be a great app but with this newest update it seems to freeze every time I select anything other then a lensflare. This obviously ruins the app for me.
2014-12-09
Professional update
I emailed BrainFeverMedia with the request to have .png export and they have delivered. This means you can add as many effects as you need, by importing the same file over and over again, without compression artifacts and quality degradation. Having 10 layers at a time instead of only 6 is a definite bonus. The developer is very responsive and cares about user feedback. Great app and awesome developer. I'm a professional digital artist and this is one of my favorite apps.
2014-12-08
One way to get more moons!
Have you ever wanted a second moon in the sky? Wanted to watch rings rise on the horizon? Yearned for a tiny universe in your hand. This is your app. Of all the accessory apps (as in I use painting apps to create and these to add beautiful effects) this is the one I recommend the most. Have fun.
2014-11-27
Get This
This app is fun, creative, and extremely easy to use! You can use multiple layers, preset but customizable filters, and a lot of awesome graphics.
2014-11-26
Love the App
Use it a lot - I love it but now this upgrade and give us for free the two other package - is there a way I could get a reimbursed on it cause I just bought it last week and now it's free - or at least I could get credit on downloading another app from ur company, that would be nice..... But over all the app is GREAT!
2014-07-18
Needs more layers :)
I recommend this app for fans of sci fi and photography one request though, can you please add more layers? 5 stars no doubt! Great app!
2014-06-27
Trouble opening app.
I've always had trouble opening this app. Sometimes it would take 5-6 attempts before it would actually open successfully. Now that I have updated it, it won't open at all. Although, when it actually does work, it's pretty awesome!
2014-06-20
Fun app
I really enjoy this app. I have used it to enhance photos I've taken and just pass the time. There's allot more I want to try with it.
2014-06-07
Isn't another app you'll find 2 compare!
Well I think my sentiments are the same as already expressed B4 getting to mine. I don't know how long I've had this app, but think about a year or more & apps come & they go & when it comes to editing or manipulating pics, there are MANY & man is it hard to find the Great among them! It's a $costly process, but one that's remained since the day I bought it along with it's family members LensLight & LensFlare & just noticed your other LensFX I wasn't aware of but will add 2day, are all a league of it's own! Thank you 4 thinking of your supporters who Love your product & not having them pay more 4 one Hell of an update as so many others do! It's how costumers become Loyal supporters! Take care of customers & it will come, don't & look 4 the quick $$ & you'll fade as fast as you sold it! Take care of those who love the product as you very well do, and you'll be a force of your own & in my book, already are! Amazing Product!
2014-06-07
My Favorite App
I love to play with my pictures and are always looking for new ways to do it. Aliensky makes it so easy to do and to give the pictures a very realistic look even with alien planets. Withthe new update it is even better. I can only highly recommend this app.
2014-06-06
Fantastic!!!
This is an amazing photography app! There isn't another one in its class when it comes to photo FX!!! It allows you to take your images and give them a true SciFi feel. I love it and use it often!!!!

Love the Print Option
Loving the print feature! Excited to see my work on huge canvases! Nice addition!
2014-03-11
Used to use CS5
It seems like back in the day I was using Photoshop CS5 to create these types of photos. It used to take forever. Blows my mind you can now do this in seconds and have great results on an iPhone. Sophisticated enough to allow significant options in the end product. Great job to developers.
2014-02-26
Just One Thing...
Although this is a great app, one feature I want implemented is the ability to change brush sizes for masking. It would make pictures of things like cloudy days easier to work with.
2014-02-11
Great app just gets better
This is an excellent app with beautiful space effects to create with. The IAPs aren't required to enjoy the app, but since they are all done exceptionally well, they are worth the price if you will use them. The new masking feature is just the cherry on top of a wonderful app. It's great to know I won't have to use another app in the future just for that task.
2014-01-19
Top quality and creative FX!
I have many photo effects apps but this is currently my favorite. You don't even have to be trying to create an alien environment, it can turn something average into something stunning.
2013-12-16
No sharp
The additional fee for another pack that I already paid is not cool. The effects like the galaxy, moon and etc I run this to snapseed to add more details and beauty it turn out really bad. All my edit I run this with snapseed to make it sharp and vibrant and it work perfect and it reveal the real beauty of my edit, but in this instance your moon, galaxy, stars look so cheap and trash to run on snapseed. I think you should increase the image quality of this feature so this will look awesome if we run this to PHoto shop or Snapseed. Add some feature if we can place the effects foreground or background of the photo. Then I change this to 5 stars for now this stay 2 stars.
2013-11-24
Love love love this app!
It's my go to photo editor! One thing that could make it better would be a color matching option, so if you wanted two effects to have the same shade it would be easier!
2013-10-19
WHAT AUDACITY!!!
To charge more for certain features already paid for the initial purchase of these apps!!! I WAS excited to learn there would be a few new effects. But MOST of which I had ALREADY had with the original apps!
I once was a VERY happy user, and I left reviews to state that. Now, since greed has gotten the better hold of the developer, no longer.
Such a pity!
2013-10-09
LOVE the update!
I am in love with the updates to all 3 of your apps! What a change! They went from almost one-dimensional, flat effects to multi-faceted, layered spaces to create almost anything.
Despite adding many features from each app to all the apps, it is still quite clear what the purpose is for each app. Alien Sky has always been my favorite of the 3 and the one I use most often. Now, it's a tougher choice about where to go first. I head to Alien Sky, of course, if the effect I'm after is out of this world. The choice of tools in this (and each) app seems to have multiplied by a thousand. Alien Sky already had the most to offer; now, I feel like a kid in a candy store when I use it!
What adding the extra features from the other apps did most is to create workspaces that feel familiar and to make all 3 apps seem to work like members of a team. It increased the ability to identify your apps just by using the workspace, leading to an increase in cohesiveness among all 3 apps.
Most of all though, it gives users some mighty powerful tools that they quickly become familiar with and are able to use more effectively and with greater speed.
The results in at least what I'm creating is light years apart from what I used to be able to accomplish with these apps. All 3 apps used to be relegated a rarely used, highly specialized folder. Now, I will be keeping them front and center in my iOS digital art arsenal!
Thank you for the improvements!
2013-09-28
Nothing compares!
Nothing can compare to this app or should I say program? (:
You have so much control of what you're putting into your photos! If you have a creative mind, you can make some outstanding photos with this program.
2013-08-01
Amazing
This app... It's out of this world. Seriously, with this app my photos look like they were taken on another world. :)
2013-07-21
Get this app
I usually don't write reviews but I had to for this app. I love astronomy and space so much and this app is so cool. Ever wonder what it would look like if there were multiple moons in the sky above your house or if we were extremely close to another planet? You can with this app and it really looks real. Thank you to the developers. You have helped my interests in astronomy
2013-07-21
My favorite app! Perfect!
Well done. It is flawless. I can shrink the planets, change the pictures brightness and tint, and do pretty much anything and everything I want with it!!!
A must have. The designers are brilliant. Well done guys. An app like this comes around very rarely. Perfect!
2013-07-19
Simply great.
I wasn't sure if this app was going to be a keeper but it really is and you can do a lot of creative things with it. A few additional in the filters section would be nice.
2013-06-09
One little thing
One of the greatest iPhone app ever!i use lens flare on my Mac too also in after effects from videocopilot everyday!very big fan of them!only one little thing that also have LensFlare app that how you move the effects around in the app!(flares, planets...)it gives me a hard time placing the effects into the right positions where I want to!i always have to put my finger on the pics where I want the effects but how can I do that easily if I don't see the exect spot under my finger...?instead like space paint app that my finger can be wherever on the screen and just push the effect into the right spot so I see exactly where I want it! Love all your apps just this little things sometimes is really frustrating!if you could change that I would really appreciate it!thanks for all your work!
2013-06-04
Who needs Photoshop?
Absolutely fantastic app. My nine-year old son and I love it. Can't imagine ever tiring of it. The ways in which you can manipulate the images/effects are virtually endless, creating pictures that look stunningly real. Kudos to the designers!
2013-05-05
Awesome
Had some good laughs. This app needs some improvements. 1) bigger buttons 2) when moving the effect, it starts where you press instead of pushing it into position. 3) the images are not full size. 4) needs an undo button 5) ability to add 2 effects at once
I would give this app 4 stars, but I am giving it 5 since I love the concept behind it.
2013-05-04
May the 4th be with you always
I just got this app and fell in love with it. Best photo app in the store. You can't go wrong if you like space with your photography.
2012-11-19
LOVE THIS
Very smooth. Very fun. It's easy to use and has a lot of choices. You can take a photo or choose an existing one from the photo album. Effects can be scaled, rotated, placed, and layered. Awesome app.
2012-09-12
Love these apps!
I would give this five stars if the fx selections were in the same direction as my photo. When I have my photo loaded and then go to select the effect, they are all upside down to choose from although they place on the photo correctly. I an using this app on the iPad 3, so perhaps that is the problem. I have LensFlare and LensLight and they work correctly.
When this is fixed so that all screens are oriented in the same direction, I will happily give it five stars!
2012-07-22
Well done
I've got two photo effect apps from this maker and both of them work great. Simple if you want, but also plenty of adjustments to all the effects to make them look even better if you want. Well worth the cost.
Would like to see more "normal" stars / skies options... but then again I guess they wouldn't count as "alien" eh? :-)
2012-07-11
Cool... but a couple of suggestions
**Update 2**
Please add vertical and horizontal flip to the elements. Sometimes pieces fit better flipped. Thanks.
**Update**
Dropping it by one star only because it's way crashy. I've lost numerous images that I'll never get back. :(
------
This app is really cool. It needs a couple of things to make it great. One thing is that you can't see the left side of the screen when trying to adjust the color or filter strength. The window is in the way. Another thing that would be helpful would be the ability to mask out areas of the effect you are inserting. For instance, I had a sunset shot, but the objects in the original photo (like a fence post) appeared to be behind the effect I was adding. If you could paint out the parts you don't need, it would make the fence post appear in front of the effect where it belongs. Maybe the ability to set the fade point on each effect would help?
I still say get it. It's cool.
2012-07-11
Great JONB!
I am an avid iPhonegrapher and editor. I have to say I use multiple IMPRESSIVE apps from you guys, Alien Sky takes the CAKE! Thank you!
The options are great. If you like iPhoneorgaphy, this app is for you! A steal at $0.99!
2012-07-10
Awesome app
Has some cool effects that really are unique. The lens flare effect is particular is really impressive. I contacted support about a question and got a response back right away. Well done.
2012-07-10
We need to talk about your flare
It's like having Knoll Light Factory on your iPhone! Excellent flare presets. You can even use the preset flares to create your own. I don't have much use for the planets etc. but the flares alone are worth much more than the price of this app!
Great job!
