Worked fine, now app doesn’t work at all. Just a white blank screen. ### 2/5 — 😩 *2020-06-12, version 41.0* This app is great. But I got this app but doesn’t want to download stickers nor frames. 😩😩 Please fix. ### 2/5 — FREE *2020-04-28, version 40.0* I downloaded this app and it never said anything about buying. Well when I installed something on here I thought it was free. NOPE. My parents got a bill STUPID ### 1/5 — Ads! *2020-04-01, version 40.0* It has ads which ok whatever, BUT... once the ad is over it won’t let you click it off and when you exit out it makes you rewatch the ad which still doesn’t let you click it out so you never get to the editor. 🤦🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Pointless *2020-02-04, version 40.0* Can’t do so many simple editing things, it’s useless to even keep. Thing works for a minute then cancels on you. Tried to reset my phone to make the app work better and still nothing. Not worth it ### 1/5 — 1 star *2019-10-26, version 38.2* This is not what it says it is it makes you pay for almost everything very glitchy and overall a not so great app ### 1/5 — Worst thing ever *2019-10-25, version 38.2* Does nothing for the pics. Wouldn’t even find recent pics on my phone kept bring up two yr old pics. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2019-10-12, version 38.2* Stopped working .. blank screen. I’m forced to give this a star but deserves none since it does nothing. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Stopped working. *2019-10-03, version 38.2* Suddenly stopped working. 😟😕🙁☹️ I tried deleting it and downloaded it again. Still, no luck. It was good while it worked, but useless now. ### 1/5 — Re-coloring looks fake, no option to change the opacity *2019-10-01, version 38.2* I wanted to add a little orange into the green trees however it was so strong that it looked fake you cannot choose the strength or opacity. And the screen continuously freezes on all my devices. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-03-14, version 38.2* Not many features, waste of space on your phone. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-02-14* Can’t install any of the frames, effects, etc. ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2025-08-29* It won’t let me access any of my photos even after watching the ads multiple times. Disappointed ### 1/5 — Fake app, don’t download *2024-11-10, version 70.0* I remember the original Aviary app. This isn’t it. Does nothing, avoid. ### 1/5 — Ad Intensive *2023-11-08, version 62.0* Used to like this ap but now all ads are long childish videos that you are forced to sit through. No option but to delete this ap and consider a weslth of other, better opportunities ### 1/5 — Fake photo editor, completely useless *2023-09-16, version 55.0* Fake photo editor, completely useless, only adv ### 1/5 — Full screen of ads, not an apps. *2023-07-01, version 54.0* Don’t waste time to download and try. ### 1/5 — App opens to full screen ad. !CRAP! *2023-05-08* Opens app, and full screen ad opens, with NO WAY to remove, useless close out the app, it high jacks your phone. Apple check this app. It is not Apple quality. This is the crap you find in G-play store. I don’t mind ads, it’s the ads that take over your phone screen that shouldn’t be allowed! I have no way of knowing app functionality because it only opens to full screen ad. Zero stars! ### 1/5 — Temperamental *2023-01-21, version 53.6* Sometimes it works, sometimes it leads you down a bunny trail. Free is only good if it works. ### 1/5 — Junk/Scam/Fake *2022-09-22, version 51.0* The reviews that rave about this app are fake and this app is junk. I don’t even know how Apple allowed this on the AppStore. I expect this kind of junk on the Google Play Store but not here. Such a shame. Btw, the app’s primary purpose seems to direct you to download other apps. It’s just a scam. ### 1/5 — Like Aviary, but *2022-05-31, version 47.6* It has a few filters like Aviary, but won’t let you adjust the strength of the filter, so becomes useless. Aviary was a good app until they stopped updating it. Once you updated your iOS becomes obsolete. Sad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — i love it but *2025-02-07* it would be better if it had a way to adjust the filters and decrease or increase the intensity of it!! it feels great knowing my fav editing app back then still exists though love the filters then and now, timeless ### 5/5 — App *2024-07-14, version 69.1* Brilliant app!! ### 5/5 — Please let me Pay *2024-01-21* May I pay to get rid of ads? The app is the old Aviary app and I missed it and loved it. Please let me get rid of ads and keep using your app as is. ### 5/5 — MINHAS FOTOS BEM MAIS BONITAS *2024-01-18* 5 ESTRELAS SIIIIIM ### 5/5 — flashbacks to the android/ios aviary app *2023-12-31* so happy this exists because i’ve been missing it ever sense the iPhone 4s days, this is pure nostalgia 😊 thank you 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Amazing Aviary app *2023-12-11* Same as the original aviary, meets my daily use ### 5/5 — Very nice *2022-11-05, version 52.6* Awesome apps ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-05-26, version 38.2* Okay this app is amazing ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2019-01-31, version 38.2* Awesome ### 5/5 — Eastvanchan *2019-01-31, version 38.2* Works good... after review I’ll get free premium if not I’ll change to one star --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
