Leave a Review picTrove
Bad business decisions. Bad customer service.
Chose not to update upon seeing the addition of ads. Supposedly to keep the app free. However one big issue with this claim is the fact that a second version of this app exists. Sorry but if you were able to produce a second version of the app then obviously funding isn't really the issue. Greed is. You found a way to get paid while attempting to keep the first version of the app relevant. Not sure why the devs thought this would go over. Average consumers aren't stupid. I had been considering downloading picTrove 2 but definitely won't now. Also the dev response to the reviews slants to the unprofessional to say the least. "If you feel you've been unjustly charged then go ahead and request a refund from apple"
Rude and very snide comment for so many reasons. Shows you don't care about user feedback seeing as how getting refunds from apple is like having a tooth extracted. A long and painful process. Also the wording comes across as basically "F you"
Won't be updating. That's my F you back.Show lessTheharlster
Forced ads ruin app
Well, my reason for buying this app has been to quickly search and preview full-screen images across multiple engines. With forced ads, I can no longer view an entire image.
Ethics? I paid for this app and do not appreciate having to buy the developer's new app with a new UI. Given the choice, I would rather make an in-app purchase to remove the ads from this one, in other words, pay again for the same app. That should answer the ethics question.
Big thumbs down for this update, and currently recommending no buy for any products from this developer.Show lessSkytouch
Author demonstrates dubious business ethics
I paid for this app, and the author not only created another, more expensive app instead of providing updates to this one, but also just forced ads on us. I once considered buying pictrove 2, but now that I can foresee ads being added there too down the road, I most certainly will stay away from any app from this author. So should you!
Deleted.
Update to answer the dev: With this precedent, Trust is broken, and I have no confidence whatsoever in your statement about Pictrove 2. Who conned once will con again. Nothing will prevent you from playing the same trick on paying customers of it in the future when you come up with version 3, so I sure won't waste my money on that or any product from your company. You are not the only offer in town, you know...
You know well how much effort it takes to claim a refund. This is hypocrisy. Of course I am not going to waste my time on it for this little investment. I will merely move to some other, hopefully more honest provider for the same functionality (that is easy) and reiterate my advice to other users to avoid paying for Pictrove 2 and chose an alternate solution, as they will one day lose the usage of their app, just like your old customer base did.Show lessOhm62
Was 5 Stars
Well I believe in being fair. I contacted developer. As letter below indicates. To my great joy the app is working perfectly again. And I said would raise back to 5 stars and I have. Much thanks.👍🏼
Believe it or not this was at one time simply outstanding. Did everything intended and did it well. Then Google stopped working. I though ok, the others still work. Then suddenly one day Google search back. Then I realized I lost over 2,000 pictures. Since then, every time I tried to access the pictures they CRASHED THE APP.
I contacted the developer and they were polite, prompt and sympathetic. But could not promise that it could be fixed, in part due to aging coding. So until I get my three years of collecting pictures back, has to stay at 1 star.😩. But if fixed, will Change rating back to 5.Show lessJonsastar
Lost all my searches, again
Latest update: I was surprised to see a new update after a long wait and due to the greedy developers creating a new app instead of just updating this one and was happy, then I saw that this crap deleted my searches AGAIN. These people are incompetent and I will NEVER buy any apps they make in the future.
Update: Now it doesn't save searches at all, what a piece of junk this app has become.
The only reason I used this was because of that feature and the crappy app lost everything.Show lesspholly
Very Handy
The easiest app to look for pictures. Whenever I want to find a picture, it is almost guaranteed I will find what I am looking for. Easy searching, easy downloading, easy everything. I highly recommend this app to everyone.The_Cool guy
please disable "pics falling" effect
I know some junior programmer is really proud that he made this pics falling effect when the search results are returned based on a trick he learned in Comp Sci 101 class. I don't want to hurt the kid's feelings but the effect is stupid! Why? Because when I SEARCH, I want to screen the top hits and I want them to STAY THERE! That's what you do when you SEARCH and then from your top hits you know if you need to readjust your query. You don't want things falling off the screen as you look at them! This isn't Sesame Street! Make an app for adults, please! Is that too much to ask? Until then, ONE STAR!!!Show lessfrankz00
Picture Size Reduced
This is a great app but I would like to save images in their original size. Their other app offers this but it doesn't use as many search engines. I still recommend the app but I won't get pro2 until they add more search engines.Blacksburg, Va
Awesome!!!
Love this app !! You should get this !!
Update : this app no longer works for me, I type in what I want to search for and the thumbnails pop up and when I click on one the app crashes ... I don't know what they did to this app but it is garbage now dropped rating from 5 to 1 star will raise that back up if they would reply to my emails to help solve this problem.
..... Update number two .... After an update it still does the same thing , so basically they didn't fix anything
…… update number 3 ... See update number twoShow lessfuzznuts33
