Update problem

Before the update, I can enlarge the photo 6-7 times
But now only twice?
Why????

Try again after "failure"

It’s frustrating there’s so many apps that don't explain what they’re good for, especially one such as this. I struggled for a long time to understand it and my understanding can still slip through my fingers when I compare the size of a photo from here and what I started with. If I do it right my finished product looks better when I’m done. Experiment with apps. Most are non-destructive; meaning they don’t touch your original photo but if you’re worried, duplicate your original. If you don’t understand what should be changing, edit to the extremes and compare. … •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛… •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛ … •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛ … •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛ With this app people feel they're resizing but discerning no changes. Possibly they started out with a high-resolution photo. Try something different; something mid or low res. There's limitations to any app, especially if you’re trying to get higher resolution of a blurry or less than satisfactory photo. … •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛… •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛ … •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛ … •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛ First make sure your photo is as sharp and clear as you get it. The native editor has tools beyond “sharpen“ but other editors have more to clarify your photo. Sometimes it’s not that you need to “sharpen“ your photo so much as increase contrast, change highlights, the brilliance, etc, etc. If I want a really stand out photo I expect to use as many editors as it takes to get the look I want and this may be after taking the photo with a couple or few camera apps. Currently I'm lazy about carrying my Canon or I’d have more choices. … •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛… •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛ … •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛ … •. ⵗ … •.ⵈ.• … ⴰ .• …⍛ Here's a workaround I had to figure out for very low res photos because often when faced with those the app gives up and shuts down. I start by adding a bit more to the low res photos of maybe 50 kb from a screenshot with a frame - the easiest are Dyed (fun color matchings!) or Afterlight (best default editor at the time plus a smattering of fonts & a couple stickers; mostly a plethora of filters, but oh well). I snip off the frame as the resolution gets higher; be aware if you need to engage in trickery it's a photo that's not going to reach high resolution. It's a pretty good app for resizing but I wish it was pretty still.

In addition to working well, being simple and straight-forward there was a point where, for no reason other than she could, the background was uniquely and beautifully colored each time I opened the app. I liked that. A lot. Now it's grey, right? Just grey with menu choices in a row. Oh well. How dull. It doesn't make me happy anymore. (Update- it's better, thanks. There’s just not as much leeway as there used to be.)

Will not respond

Unable to load any photos. App is no longer working. Solved by deleting app from iPad.

Works well.

Nice app. Does what it says & quite well.

IPhone owner

I like the idea of upsizing my photos, but there needs to be more details about how this app and the other apps this company offers work.
They need to supply customers a detailed manual explaining how each app works.
I just sent them a list of questions and I await their reply.

Smart Resize x2

iPhone 7 does not do anything when I opened the App update it and still nothing happens when you try to use it. Deleted

Response from developer

The same phone that was released on September 2016? Amazing! Hard to guess your expectations!

Great feature.

Love this free app. I use the crop facility regularly and have never had a problem.

Awful

I gave this a try, despite the bad reviews.

It’s not great, just as other people have said.

Sorry. Not worth anything.

Love this app

It’s a great little app for when you want to double (or more) the size of an image. Does an excellent job and has come in handy often enough that I wouldn’t want to be without it.

Please add the ability for custom aspect ratios

I love this app and use it almost daily. However there is some functionality that I wish it had, I love to use it to convert art into a good aspect ratio for use as a wallpaper, the problem is the inability to get to the same aspect ratio for some of my screens, mainly my iPhone XR. Other than that this app is wonderful!
