### 1/5 — Pathetic and Pricey

*2014-08-01*

This app is not worth the price it asks. I know because like a dope I bought it. In Australia it costs $6.49. Robbery. It is so basic it does very little on the iPad. You cannot add a photo from Camera Roll. You cannot draw anything. When you import a pdf you do not know how many pages it will use when printed. Guidance how to use the app is nonexistent. Whoever designed it needs to go back to the drawing board. Apple should take it off the AppStore. Apple has failed in its duty of care to this regular customer who needed a banner/poster printing app. It was the only one of its kind I could see in the AppStore. The only way I could really tell its potential was to buy it. If Apple has a standards policy for the apps it sells then this app snuck through. Surely Apple tests apps and if they do surely they look at the price the seller asks and compares similar apps to see if the price reflects the product's capacities. Obviously Apple has no standards policy for the apps it sells. I don't want others to buy it and be as disappointed as I was. Certainly not worth the money. I'd like my money back, but that's not-a-goin-ta-happen.

### 1/5 — Zero stars!

*2014-04-25*

This is, hands down, the worst app I have EVER bought! It's RUBBISH AND IM FURIOUS! Are you having a laugh? 

WHERE are the editing tools? 
WHERE are the font sizing tools etc. 
What happens when it crashes, which it did, and it converts your banner to a PDF immediately which means you cant go back and edit it! 

Perhaps you should have a function where it saves as draft then when you've finished making your banner you convert it to a PDF ready for printing. 

I'd like a refund!

### 1/5 — Waste of five dollars

*2024-09-25*

App does nothing but crash when pressing the print button. 🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Crap

*2021-11-30, version 1.8*

I am very dissapointed.  Wish I had read the reviews.  You can not change the sizes off the print.  What good is this ? NONE. Wast of money d.  Don’t get it!

### 1/5 — Almost useful...

*2020-12-13, version 1.8*

I make model airplanes from PDF plans. I can print them to scale or change the scale to enlarge or reduce them using a PC and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Adobe Reader fo iPhone & iPad doesn't have that capability. I was excited to find this app and hoped it could do the same thing. Many of the members in my Groups do not own PC computers and cannot print the plans at home. 

Alas, it is not to be. Yes, this app will posterize the print into sheets that can be trimmed and assembled. However, the printouts don’t have the same scale in both directions. In other words, circles always come out as ovals regardless of choosing the Aspect or Fill modes, Landscape or Portrait orientation. 

The scale is suspect also. A lot of the plans I have come with a printed scale so that the can be checked for accuracy when printed. I tried 10 different plans and none were accurate in any dimension. And there is no provision for setting or changing a scale factor. 

I am hoping that the developer can make these needed changes.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2018-09-25, version 1.8*

Below mediocrity . Did not get what I wanted for this app. Very limited , you can do anything with it . $ 4.99 down the drain 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

**Developer response:** Please email us your concerns and we would be glad to address them.

### 1/5 — Worst App EVER!!!

*2018-07-21, version 1.8*

Won’t do ANYTHING!  And stole my &4.99 purchase fee to do it.

**Developer response:** Please email us and we would very happy to help you.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2017-02-13, version 1.7*

Can't change letter size  a waste of money,don't know how to get my money back
It will not send this either

**Developer response:** BannerMaker auto adjusts the font size in proportion to the banner size.

### 1/5 — Zero stars

*2016-09-08, version 1.7*

Ridiculous. Cannot change font size or make it bold or italic or anything.  Can only add a graphic in "print preview" which makes it hard to do. If you want one big word stretched out it might work for you, but it's not worth even a buck. Software is crap.

### 1/5 — Blank pages

*2016-02-14*

Showed the preview ok but then printed and emailed blank pages. Didn't work. Waste of money

### 1/5 — frustrated

*2015-12-10*

Doesn't work any more..?...

### 1/5 — Blank pdf

*2015-10-26, version 1.6*

Created blank pdf both when I tried to send to printer and when I tried to email a file. I sent a description of the problem with screenshots to the developer and have not gotten any reply, not even an acknowledgement of my complaint. Time to request a refund. 

If I do hear from the developer , I will update this review. Otherwise you can assume they never replied

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-08-20*

No frills no fuss. Absurdly simple to use. Produce A4 in ‘IOS Pages’.
Touch Export - as a pdf.
Then ‘More’ . Then Banner Maker.
It opens up in the app and you can make it any number of A4 sheets which you the trim and tape together on their backs.
If you want to do it to a photo, put it on a Pages document and then do the same.
Do all you editing in other apps first!!!

### 5/5 — Exactly what we needed.

*2015-06-06, version 1.6*

Worked great for making a birthday banner. Super easy, and like that it makes a pdf you can print anywhere

### 5/5 — Perfect for Signs, Banners, and Posters etc.

*2014-12-27, version 1.5*

Great little app and very easy to use. Does everything I needed. You can choose from many fonts and colors and do different borders if you wish. Hint: This app will come in handy to use instead of those handmade "Garage Sale" signs!

### 5/5 — Does what it says in the tin..

*2014-06-03*

In a school that uses iPads in every class, this is just what I needed for making banners for display boards without having to sit at a desktop and use publisher.. Simple to use too.

### 2/5 — Emails

*2016-07-10, version 1.7*

The first time I used this app, it was very useful. However, it has recently given me many problems. I cannot seem to email any of my creations to myself, or anyone else for that matter. This limits my use of the app entirely. Would try this app again when the email process is fixed.

### 2/5 — Way overpriced for what you get

*2015-10-17, version 1.6*

Should be free or .99 max. All text has to be same size and color. Can't mix colors within text. No italics. Fine if you want very basic banner, but could do more with a word processing program like Word. Wish I could get my money back.

### 2/5 — Needs updates

*2014-06-18, version 1.1*

Way to much money to not be able to import from within the app. There is only a PDF file option. I need jpg option! No way to print photos or designs....please fix!
