First I would pay to get rid of the adds taking over the screen every 20 seconds. Second, why can’t I see all the pictures in my recent folder it seems to be hit and miss if they’re there. How about an option of them being next to each other i’m not flipping back-and-forth. I gave this two stars for actually having an overlay from there the app goes downhill. ### 2/5 — Why do I get stuck in some video game? *2021-02-22* Not sure how it happens but whole trying to use the app some video game sequence keeps starting and there is no way out of it but to quit the app. Otherwise it has promise. Not bad for free. ### 1/5 — Needs to add ability to select different lenses *2021-02-07* I have photos that were taken with the iphones built in wide angle lenses or telephoto lens. The app defaults to the standard lens and has no way to select the other leses ### 1/5 — Garbage *2021-01-06* Totally useless. Outputs a low res gif file that isn’t even aligned the way it was when you aligned them. Waste of time. The app really cannot do what it claims. ### 2/5 — No lens support *2020-08-01* Please add an ability to switch lenses in iPhone 11 ### 2/5 — Update needed *2020-08-01* This is the exact app I was looking for. I run a service Business that relies heavily on before and after pictures. The app is freezing. Also needs a option that lets us remove the watermark and time date stamp. Doesn’t look professional enough for my uses ### 1/5 — Failed the connectivity test *2020-02-13* No go! The first way I test apps is by running them offline. Upon selecting the first image or taking the first picture, the app hangs. Not all of us are connected to a network at all times, especially for remote locations where you would want a before and after picture. Maybe the developer can correct this behavior, but until then, beware. ### 2/5 — Great for taking afters, but... *2019-03-31* I can’t find any way to share the gifs on Facebook **Developer response:** Hi EDG owner, Thanks for the feedback! I'll follow up again soon once I get a fix in place. ### 1/5 — Worked the first time *2019-03-15* This let me add photos from my photo album on the first try and I was able to make a GIF. But now all I can do is select my first one from my album and then it forces me to take a picture to add a second one. Also the GIF option is gone. **Developer response:** Hi Bettesoff, Thanks so much for trying out the app! I'm working on a new version right now that will allow adding 'child' photos from your album - rather than just allowing the camera. I'll also look into the GIF issue you mention and follow up as soon as I get a new version released.
