🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
📝 About this app
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?… View full description on the official store →
