But the lack of iCloud syncing makes it kind of pointless. i use iPhone, iPad Air3 and iPad mini 5. Frequently switching between them and don’t feel like creating every sticker again on each device. ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2020-01-24, version 1.5.6* This app is a ton of fun ^_^ Dig through your photos and you’ll probably find lots of material to work with! Haha I send this to my wife everyday, she hates/loves it! ### 2/5 — Image transparency is ignored *2019-12-04* Would be really nice for images with transparent backgrounds to be automatically cut out during import. Currently, transparency is turned into white, then the user must cut out the white manually. BUMMER ### 3/5 — Sharing almost never works *2019-11-29* Everything about this app is great, but every time I try to send a pack I made, it just sends a link to the App Store to get the app, instead of the pack. And yes, I’m sending it to other people who already bought the app. ### 4/5 — Good app *2019-09-24* Only thing I’d recommend to make it a 5 Star (above and beyond app) is add an “actions” button to pull images straight from safari to the app without having to save them (ie when you press “share” and it shows shareable apps you can load photos directly from google). Would be a 4.5 if I could make it such **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for rating and letting us know what you think. The ability to pull images from the internet is a great idea and we'll definitely consider it. The GIF bug appears to be a bug in iOS and going forward, we are working with Apple to resolve it. ### 4/5 — I love this ap *2019-02-27* Few requests: Ability to organize stickers/move them between packs. And sync across devices. Note: Saw in an older review re: loss of png transparency: not an issue now / transparency preserved. **Developer response:** Hey, you can contact us for support at madebyayden@icloud.com or via our Twitter @AdhesiveApp if you need any help. We're working on some new features and iCloud syncing has definitely been one we're considering. Thanks for the feedback! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-01-31* Worthless. Locks up. Virtually unusable **Developer response:** Hey there. We want all our customers to be able to enjoy Adhesive, and our other users can vouch for us when we say that ‘locking up’ is certainly not normal behaviour. That said, we’d love to help you out, but can’t really do so via the review system. If you could email some information about what you’re trying to do when it freezes, your device model, and iOS version to support@madebyayden.co, I’m sure we can get everything working for you. ### 1/5 — Less than stellar *2019-01-03, version 1.5.6* Just purchased it from a recommendation and I can only make a sticker from a drawing. When I go to take a picture and I go to use the photo or retake, the camera app freezes and I have to shut the program down. When I go to choose a photo from the library the screen goes blank and I have to shut it down I have an iPhone 8 Plus with plenty of storage. I reboot the phone and still can’t use the program other than to draw. This is the first time I ever reviewed an app. Fix it or give me my money back. Ps. (Downloaded a number of apps at the same time, some free, some paid so not sure if I paid for this one) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-08-15* Elegant, simple and does its job well! Animated GIF support is a fantastic implementation and the features are great all-round. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2018-08-01* I can make stickers from photos which is exactly what I needed to do. Only wish is that you could add transparent background images from iCloud (import from photos kills transparent backgrounds) or have a tool to eliminate a solid color in the background without having to trace around with an eraser tool. ## Frequently asked questions about Adhesive ### What does Adhesive do?
