At the moment it feels like it’s designed for a left handed person. Also, can’t gif creations be saved directly to the phone? It’s a little time consuming having the gif uploaded to the cloud only to have to download it again just to view it? ### 2/5 — Shame can’t use wide angle images *2024-03-28, version 3.6* Can only use regular camera not the wide option for before a shame ### 3/5 — Love the app but “gif” function now crashes *2024-01-20* I’ve been using this app for a while and love the ability to overlay “original” photo with new photo to ensure perfect alignment. Looks like the ads have been reduced recently which is nice. The slider itself works great when selecting manually in the app… but unfortunately the GIF feature (which allowed you to save/text before after sliding photos) no longer works and now crashes the app. Please fix! ### 4/5 — Works, but no wide angle *2023-08-30* Works as described, allows superimpose images and takes full res photos. Nice price of $0.99 to remove ads. Only issue is that it won’t allow me to switch between my regular and wide angle lens (which I use more). Crashed couple times after I played with the sliders. ### 3/5 — Great when works *2023-08-26* App crashes often ### 2/5 — Ads make it unusable. No option to remove *2023-04-17* 5 star app if they make a paid version (not subscription) but in its current form the 30s ada make it horrible. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, I have recently updated the app, removing the video ad and instead only shows a smaller ad half the time. I have also added a new Inset feature. Thank you for using the app! ### 3/5 — One of a kind but major flaw *2023-04-07* We use this all for landscaping before and afters. It’s absolutely fantastic and one of a kind with one major downfall.. Ads.. I would of gladly paid 10 bucks for this app, I don’t have time to watch a 30 second add when I’m on jobs each time.. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, I have recently updated the app, removing the video ad and instead only shows a smaller ad half the time. I have also added a new Inset feature. I hope this helps with your complaint, or can purchase the newly added subscription that removes ads. Thank you for using the app! ### 4/5 — VIDEO UPDATE *2023-03-25* Great app, does exactly what you want it to. Could use a more modern redesign and a video mode, where the overlay on the "after" video would be the last frame of the "before" video. ### 3/5 — Infuriating commercials *2022-12-28* You’ll use it for one picture but become so frustrated with constant extra long commercials that you can’t skip that you’ll quickly begin swearing and delete the app. It’s to bad though since the app is pretty nice. App gets 4.5 stars. Ads -1. I’m giving it a 3 **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, I have recently updated the app, removing the video ad and instead only shows a smaller ad half the time. I have also added a new Inset feature. I hope this helps with your complaint, or can purchase the newly added subscription that removes ads. Thank you for using the app! ### 3/5 — Great Idea! *2022-05-11, version 3.1* App is fantastic and just what I was looking for only as mentioned the images taken are low quality for some reason. Would be a 5 star app if this is fixed. ### 4/5 — Bien mais *2022-02-03* Dommage qu’il ne soit pas possible de prendre une photo « After » avec le grand angle (iPhone) alors que c’est possible pour la photo « Before »!! Je pense que c’est une fonctionnalité qui pourrait être ajoutée. ### 4/5 — Good app *2021-12-16, version 3.1* Could be a great app if you could take more than one ‘after’ picture at a time, rather than having to start again each time. ### 1/5 — Crap w/o chance to rotate output *2019-06-09, version 2.3* Okay, aligning and crop photos is excellent, but how the hell to rotate output image? I need before on the left and after on the right hand side. All I can get is before up and after down. Unusable! And support website is down, so waste of money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor quality photos *2025-03-31, version 3.6* It drops the quality of your photos ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2023-12-04* This would be such a great app but it crashes almost every time I try and use it. Please fix the issues ### 1/5 — There is no way to remove the fullscreen adverts and you have to wait 30 seconds between photos *2023-05-01, version 3.3* This could be a wonderful app but you have to wait 30 seconds between photos and watch 2 fullscreen movies with sound using data. The edge move has a overlay slider but the image overlay is missing the slider. Please fix the image overlay slider. I’m okay paying a bit of money to buy an app like this but having something I can remove adverts from is super annoying. ### 1/5 — Low Res Afters *2022-10-04* Unfortunately the “after” images taken within the app are very low res and appear pixelated on a computer screen. May be ok on a phone screen, but for detailed before/after where a customer or client may want to zoom in on images, it’s essentially useless. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, I have recently updated the app, hoping that my most recent update solves the lower quality images. Thank you for using the app! ### 1/5 — Offloading my pictures? *2022-09-14, version 3.1* Why does this app not work when airplane mode is on? ### 1/5 — Useless, waste of money *2020-06-22, version 2.3* Bought this and it crashes nearly every time I try and upload photo. It won’t display 2 pics for before and after just one. Hard to use. Crashes more than 3 times and only had it 3 minutes. I want my money back. I’m using iPhone 11 max as well so expected more. Deleted it within 5 minutes of downloading it. Save your money. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2020-05-02, version 2.3* On iPhone 11, crashes as soon as one adds a ‘before’ photo to the app, so app is useless. ### 1/5 — Should be a great app. But does not work at all *2020-04-09, version 2.3* Cannot access previous photos for before pictures making the app useless. Support website is nonexistent. Glad I only spent a buck. ### 1/5 — Kept closing App whilst using *2020-02-26, version 2.3* I couldn’t upload any before pictures as it would shut the app down every time I pressed ‘done’ Complete waste of money ### 1/5 — Horrible buggy and useless *2020-02-17, version 2.3* There’s no option to save to your camera roll. Tried to see if it would work with IG and it posted the before to my feed with no confirmation. It doesn’t work. It’s is a waste of time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — :3 *2024-12-21, version 3.6* genuinely the best onion skin app ive used ### 5/5 — Best overlay photo app! *2022-12-09* This is the best before/after app in AppStore! I really enjoy the black & white overlay effect when taking photos because it really helps with aligning. The developer responded to my inquiries and released features/fixes timely. 10/10 for sure! ### 5/5 — Only app like it *2022-10-26* One request, it takes a while to setup some shots, having to go through menu to reselect and reload the before shot, it’s a lot while trying to hold still. Maybe all allow rapid shots and a button to exit back? Either way thanks for the app! ### 5/5 — Great little app. Does just what it says. *2022-09-21* Been looking around for a way to take good after pics without keeping my phone in the same position as the before pic. Now no need to worry! The overlay feature is the solution. Thanks for a great app and not collecting any user data. ### 5/5 — Before/after effect made super easy *2022-02-14* Exactly what I was looking for to take an after photo with an overlay of an existing before photo. Great app. Not sure what all the bad reviews are for! ### 5/5 — 5 Stars *2021-09-04* Works perfectly, just what I’ve been looking for for a while. Don’t see why it has bad reviews. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2021-08-16, version 3.1* I was looking for an app to reproduce some of my old photos and create a before and after effect and this app is exactly that. Easy to use, free and now adds. Thank you very much. ### 5/5 — WORKS A TREAT *2019-01-15, version 2.3* It took me quite some time to find the app I needed and then find one that *actually* works, but this one does the trick and does so very well. Two options to take pics (overlay or a reduced “edges” overlay), making it work a treat. I edit images in another app, but this little gem of an app does everything I needed it to and does it well, for only £0.99. Thanks a lot! ### 5/5 — This app works *2018-05-29, version 2.3* This is the app I needed to help show before and after photos,if there is a better than this app than this one I have yet to see it. Thank you to the developer ### 5/5 — Before After Photo Slider with GIF *2017-12-20, version 2.3* Love the ability to make animations that you can share.
