Make sure it runs right. Like perfect. Charge $2 a week. Most creators won’t have a constant use for this so won’t pay ### 1/5 — Are we serious *2026-01-26, version 16.6* I downloaded the app and it wouldnt let me use the app for free is was forcing the free trial and i cant use it can anybody help me with this? ### 1/5 — Forces use of free trial *2026-01-17, version 16.6* I'd live to be able to say whether this app was good or bad but I don't like having to be forced to use a trial in order to use an app at all. Give me a choice. ### 1/5 — Literally does nothing *2025-12-31, version 16.5* Need to click ok to get past the intro screen. Click ok. Nothing happens. Close app. Try again. Nothing. This app is trash. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-12-18, version 16.5* Strips your image from final save ### 1/5 — No free *2025-11-10, version 16.4* Its not free app ### 4/5 — Very Customizable *2025-10-13, version 16.4* Lots of options ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2025-07-25, version 16.1* I can’t zoom into the picture when I’m trying to put the text on , also I have extreme difficulty trying to get the text STRAIGHT. I spent an hour trying to get it straight. You should have a ruler & it should automatically be straight and not turn when I’m trying to minimize it. The way you edit your pictures in your phone is amazing, it has a ruler so I can make sure all my texts are straight across & even. THEN I don’t have difficulty when I’m trying to minimize my pictures, it stays horizontal. This app SUCKS. Only reason I downloaded it was because it has the font I needed to match the font I needed to copy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not download *2026-09-07, version 17.0* It’s advertised as a free trial, but when you proceed with the “free trial” you’re charged. Worst part is you can’t even use the app because you’re stuck on a payment screen even though you’ve already paid. There’s no way to bypass it. I immediately cancelled the subscription, and attempted to request a refund from Apple but was only given a partial refund. Would not recommend. Obviously the app have bugs that need to be fixed. ### 1/5 — SCAM! BUYERS BEWARE! *2026-08-03, version 17.0* I just got off the phone with Apple support and reported this, as well as reporting it through settings. It advertised as "try free", and when I clicked for the free trial it even said "$0.00", yet payment immediately began pending. Furthermore, after all that, I still can't even use the app, because when I launch it, I am still stuck behind the paywall. So I am being charged for a digital paper weight. Complete scam! PS... Shame on Apple for allowing these scam apps into their marketplace. I switched to iPhone from Android because I was told Apple was super secure and vetted all their apps. ### 1/5 — App have fraud bug *2026-07-24, version 17.0* The app shown trail payment 5 and debited 499 . Even after due to bug i couldn’t log in ### 1/5 — it doesnt work *2026-07-19, version 17.0* when you open the app it immediately tries to get you to purchase the pro version. no issue with that, i got the free subscription. after the transaction i was stuck in what seems like an infinite loop where i click to start editing and it asks me to buy the pro version again. i click continue and it says my subscription is already active and sends me back to the homepage. i click to start editing again and it takes me back to subscription page. i wasn’t even able to try using the app. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-07-12, version 17.0* Subscribed but it keeps asking me to purchase the plan!! No way around it!!! ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-04-04, version 16.8* I will not use an app that from the start asks me to try it for free right from the start!! Just opens d let me use it and if I want to buy the full version after that I will, but DO NOT have an offer for the free trial right as soon as it’s opened!! GARBAGE!!! ### 1/5 — Do not buy. *2026-03-16, version 16.7* I spent $50 on this app just to be told “try again later” any time I try to use a graphic. Waste of $50, in fact it is stealing of $50. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-03-09, version 16.7* Does not meet My needs at all. I tried it because the one I’ve used for decades won’t work. These developers did not do their homework. And it’s a frustrating app to use. ### 1/5 — Had to cancel the subscription immediately *2026-02-19, version 16.7* One of the most annoying app I’ve ever used. Totally unable to edit text easily I put the text on the photo and the text is invisible. I had to cancel the subscription coz it’ll take you awhile to figure it out which is a waste of time and I’m already a pretty tech savvy person myself yet I still couldn’t make the text visible. ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2026-02-15, version 16.6* Not happy and not easy for me to use. Could be me? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — jersey *2026-06-08, version 16.9* love ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-05-17, version 16.9* Easy ### 5/5 — DSJex *2026-03-03, version 16.7* Excellent ### 5/5 — Easy peasy *2026-02-21, version 16.7* Really easy to use and fun ### 5/5 — Review *2026-01-01, version 16.5* Easy to use.
