Costs not clear before downloading

I appreciate that developers need to earn a living and there is no reason why we should expect sophisticated apps to be free of charge. However, I object to those costs not being made clear before downloading and opening the app. That seems disingenuous to me. There is no way I would have downloaded it had I known it would cost me £4.99 a week. Sorry, but I have deleted it.
I received a developer response to this review advising that there are also weekly and monthly subscription options which are cheaper and that the app can be used free without premium features. This is true but misses my point. The app is advertised on the strength of the premium features. Without them its functions are quite basic. But the subscription costs are not made clear until the app is downloaded and the basic functions are continually interrupted by hard sell of the premium options. In my view the costs should be up front. In a shop you don’t pick an item and find out how much it costs when you get to the checkout.

Response from developer

Hello, we're sorry you feel this way. There are three subscription options available: weekly, monthly and annual. You can subscribe for longer periods (monthly/yearly) at a cheaper rate, or even use the app for free (with paid tools and effects remaining locked) which will provide you with a substantial set of tools for collage making. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us at collageable@irontech.mobi. We'll be glad to help you!

Not precise or intuitive

This app works if your photos are centered and sized well before dropping them into collage frames. The frame and image controls can be finicky. Photos rotate when you pinch to reframe and resize them and there doesn’t seem to be a way to override this. Trying to adjust the frames is even worse because it won’t prioritize the center of the image, so the center of your pictures slide out of frame, end up oddly skewed and you have to readjust the photo size and position again. Back and forth back and forth between adjustment controls. Pre-cropping images before adding them to the collage gives you better results, but I don’t appreciate having my time wasted, guessing the aspect ratio of each frame before I even begin to use this app. If you want something fast and rough, it works. I’d prefer more precise controls though.

Hi, thank you for your detailed feedback. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused. We're going to release a huge update, version 3.0, soon, where a lot of new features will be added. Hopefully, you'll find it easier to edit your collage. Meanwhile, if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out to collageable@irontech.mobi

Not flexible or intuitive

This app only works well if your photos are framed and sized perfectly before dropping them into collage frames. Unlike every other app that lets you drag and pinch photos to resize and reframe them, this app just lets you drag its predetermined frames, which prioritize the edges of photos, never the center. You’ll attempt in vain to try to get photos sized and positioned well, and the app will fight you no matter how precise you try to be. I don’t appreciate having my time wasted, being forced to precrop photos and to guess what the aspect ratio of each frame is before I even begin to use this app. Developers take note: Just let users recenter and scale each photo WITHIN each frame space, which is far more intuitive and flexible for different compositions.

Hi, thank you for your detailed feedback. You can actually resize (pinch to zoom) and move/adjust photos within the collage. If you have any trouble with that and need any help, feel free to reach out to collageable@irontech.mobi. We'll be happy to assist you!

Wish it was better than it is

Lots of improvement that could be made considering its not free!! Needs to be:
Easier to swap photos and swap which place they are in collage. Enable Save within app to then be able to do further edits or go back and change photos in previous collages. So to easily create a set of collages without having to pre plan which photos in the collages. Enable to switch between collage types to allow best feature if photo. Ability to crop photos within the collage. Able to zoom in to see which photo to pick for collage. Adding text, not intuitive or easy function to change type. I have only used for 5 collages and this is what I can see just doing basic collages without effects or editing. I’m sure there are apps with better basic for the price I paid. I feel I need to pay more to get more functionality which I’m not confident to waste my money if can’t get easy function in the entry feature.
Don’t bother
