The only thing I would suggest is an undo button, and the ability to set up multiple panels on a page. Thank you for making my life easier!! ### 4/5 — Good *2018-03-13, version 5.2* This app works well enough for me to buy the paid version. It could use a delete or new project button. I think it’s good enough to work with though. 👌✅ ### 4/5 — Speech Bubbkes *2017-04-27, version 4.3* At last, a free app that lets me add speech bubbles and save the photo! ### 3/5 — Ok but need work *2016-08-04, version 4.0* I got this app for the sole purpose of adding word clouds to pics but the app only has the tails of the clouds going on one direction so it is unusable for a lot pics ### 4/5 — Best bubble text app here *2014-12-06, version 2.1* I think I've tried every bubble text app here and this one seems the best. Intuitive & powerful. Support seems good too. Author very responsive to a small issue I found. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-07-03, version 10.1* The txt to speech doesn’t work doesn’t record etc I’ll be requesting a refund from Apple ### 1/5 — Annoying Red Dot *2024-04-21* There's an annoying red dot at the end of the speech bubble's tail. Must be an attempt to force an upgrade, right? **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the confusion. The tail pointer (red dot) appears on the screen only when editing. It will disappear when you save or share the image. You can also hide red dots while editing by selecting Info (gear button) > Tail Pointers > "Hide". ### 1/5 — Strange app *2021-10-29, version 9.0* Says ‘save image’ - I did, then it says ‘image saved’. Where??? Not in my photos. No other screen symbols to tap on. Looked good on the screen but if you can’t access the saved pic, what’s the point? I use IOS 14.8 on iPad ### 1/5 — Thinking of Upgrading to full version? - Don’t bother *2020-03-04, version 7.7* I’ve used Balloon Stickies on an old phone for years and been pleased with it. Downloaded this version of the app on a new phone and decided to upgrade today to full version. Really it is not worth the money for what you get. You should get everything that’s available on the other app, plus extras considering the cost. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Waste *2019-10-20, version 7.1* Doesn’t do what I want it to do, so I upgraded, thinking it’s only 1.99; skip it, there’s nothing in the upgrade that works...real waste of time. ### 1/5 — Not a Fan *2017-10-01, version 5.0* Difficult and frustrating to use. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2014-12-20* Don't waste your $ and time. The text size can't be adjusted 😁 ### 1/5 — Don't get! They will make you pay for what you already had. *2013-10-01, version 1.0* Don't get! They will make you pay for what you already had. ### 2/5 — Frames can’t Save :( *2022-03-21, version 9.0* Hello…I can Save a regular bubble picture but if I put a frame on it…I can’t!!! I click the Square thingy at the bottom & a box comes up to send it to Facebook, mail, text but NO option to Save image in my picture gallery. I have tried everything…it’s a little time consuming to crop it on your app or even send it to my text and then save it into my picture Gallery from there. I’m sure you understand what I’m saying. It would be nice if you just ADD a simple word on your app “Save” thanks for listening:) ### 3/5 — What happened to 3 tails?! *2020-04-05, version 7.7* It’s a fun app, but there used to be an option to put 3 tails on the balloons and now you can only have a max of 2. I have 3 dogs and only use the app with pictures of them, so now I can no longer have 1 balloon on a picture of all 3 of them. Have to look for a new app now :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good app *2024-09-12, version 10.1* I find this app very useful. I noticed that there were updates of improvements. The sizing of balloon is fixed. I am an amateur cartoonist. I will be using this app a lot in the future for my cartoons. Thank you for this app! ### 5/5 — Annoying Red Dot...But... *2024-04-25, version 10.1* There's an annoying red dot at the end of the speech bubble's tail. Must be an attempt to force an upgrade, right? ---------------------------- Update: Advised that the annoying red dot can be hidden in app preferences. Rating now back to 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Very good app. *2023-02-20* I am an amateur cartoonist. I am glad that I found this. Unfortunately, there are some minor errors but it is overall a very good app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your comment. It would be helpful if you could let me know about the errors by email to sakanapps@nifty.com. I'll fix them as much as possible. ### 5/5 — Love it - excellent *2022-03-12, version 9.0* How do you reverse the tail to make it come from the right rather than left - otherwise brilliant - Brilliant quick and excellent response from developer solving problem immediately - Thank you ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2019-12-08, version 7.3* So easy to use I’ll have fun with this app well worth it ### 5/5 — Perfectly intuitive *2019-02-09, version 6.0* I wanted a simple but flexible way to add thought and speech bubbles to photos, and this is perfect. The options for bubbles and text, and the ability to resize and shape the bubbles is perfect. ### 5/5 — Blah *2018-09-14, version 5.2* Blah blah ### 5/5 — Great App! *2018-07-10, version 5.2* Just found this. Even though it’s the free version it has many features and is simple to use. Just what I wanted to add text balloons ### 5/5 — Useful app *2017-10-18, version 5.2* Very useful for pointing out several common features or items in one photo. I've used this for years. It'a one of a handful of really good apps that I never consider deleting when cleaning up my phone. ### 5/5 — Very nice! *2014-10-12, version 2.0* Works very well! I paid for the full version and love all the features. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
