### 3/5 — Long term drafts

*2025-09-24*

Those of us who bought a certain dollar amount of templates should also have access to unlimited time on template edits. It makes no sense to me to purchase a subscription because it would be paying for access to features I already own, I would be double-billed.

### 1/5 — Long term drafts

### 3/5 — Long term drafts

*2025-08-01*

One can only edit old drafts if you have the subscriptions option, but if it makes more sense for me not to opt into that because I already own a lot of the templates and stickers then I should also have access to the editing feature

**Developer response:** Hello. Yes, it was a problem with the app, today we've published updated with the fixes. Sorry for the inconvenience.

### 5/5 — PNG | The alpha layer (transparency) is missing 🚨⚠️😕‼️

*2025-06-13, version 3.7.1*

Please add the option to have a transparent background and export our work in PNG format with transparency, as this addition is very important, and it is clearly what has been missing from this application until now, unfortunately. Thank you in advance.

### 5/5 — Рекомендую

*2025-03-09, version 3.7.1*

Удобно, что есть готовые шаблоны: можно быстро создать эстетичную афишу или пост, даже если вы не дизайнер. Визуально все выглядит вполне современно. Для начинающих – отличный вариант, пять баллов.

### 5/5 — Приложение изменилось в лучшую сторону!

*2025-01-10, version 3.7*

Интерфейс теперь более понятный и удобный. Рад видеть обновление после долгого перерыва!

### 5/5 — Лучшие стикеры

*2025-01-10, version 3.7*

Давно пользуюсь этим приложением, люблю его за классные стикеры, за крутые шаблоны и за креативные возможности. Спасибо разработчику 👏

### 4/5 — Помощь

*2024-10-20, version 3.6.2*

Я долго пользовалась приложением и всё было хорошо. Однако теперь проблемы при вставлении текста. Часть текста вне зависимости от количества букв удаляется. При этом нет возможности дописать текст вручную. Это именно что лаг. Его не было раньше и я прошу вас его исправить

Не понимаю как он возник

### 4/5 — Перестали скачиваться макеты

*2024-05-30, version 3.6.2*

В версии Pro, пишет ошибку скачиваний макетов. Печально
