### 1/5 — Doesn’t Recognize my Subscription

*2024-08-21*

I purchased an annual subscription and it keeps asking me to buy Pro. It isn’t recognizing my subscription. I deleted the app and reinstalled with the same problem. When I attempt to “restore” it just gets stuck in a processing mode. I tried to contact them on the app and it keeps showing “failed to send” message.

### 2/5 — No longer works

*2023-10-16, version 1.2.8*

Was great until recently. I pay yearly however it won’t connect and I click to restore purchases and it just spins forever. Can’t use the pro features even though I paid for them.

### 1/5 — Bug.

*2023-09-16, version 1.2.8*

Not an effective app. There are a lot of bugs.

### 1/5 — 3+ yrs, no good anymore

*2023-07-26*

I was a huge fan until the recent renewal. It bugged out. I deleted and tried to reset and it’s saying I never paid the renewal, and yet I see the charge off iTunes and my account. When I try to hit restore purchase it just stays stuck on a thinking wheel and nothing happens (waited 30 mins for it to load and then it glitched). I’ve been at this for over a week. I think I’m done with this app. I tried.

### 1/5 — really liked this app but it’s not letting me log in anymore

*2023-07-09*

Hey, I really enjoyed this app a lot but it’s been bugging for the past few months and not allowing me to sign in and use my premium subscription. Having paid for the entire year, i’m a little frustrated. if the developers see this and help me get access back, i’d be happy to change my review.

### 5/5 — Ew

*2023-04-24, version 1.2.8*

ID RATHER WATCH TIKTOK

### 3/5 — update

*2023-04-10, version 1.2.8*

needs another update for bug fixes, used to be my favorite app for all my pictures, now i cant get anything to load or work within the app

### 2/5 — No longer works/looks to be abandoned

*2023-03-31, version 1.2.8*

Not worth paying this much if I keep getting network error codes to edit. Fix or refund anyone still here.

### 1/5 — $$$$

*2020-06-16, version 1.2.6*

too expensive

### 1/5 — Don’t bother if you’re not going to pay

*2020-05-15*

I’ve had this for a while and it was fine at first. Now nearly everything is “premium only” and even when I make a layout or edit a picture it doesn’t even save the picture properly now.  I get a corner of the picture and it never fixes itself. It’s more of a hassle and headache now and I’m deleting it. Hopefully before you think to download this you save yourself the frustration and try a different editing app.
