### 3/5 — Flash problem

*2023-11-12*

Bro, I’m tryna do a time-development project and I really need to flash to turn off, is there not a button to turn off the flash ? or is it just my phone not working

### 2/5 — “Before” and “after” font

*2021-05-13*

Could the developers have put in a bit more effort for the “before” and “after” font?
Geeez, how hard is it to find a stylish font?

### 2/5 — Import from camera roll doesn’t work

*2020-11-20*

I’ve tried to import “before” photos from my camera roll and when I’ve selected the picture/s I want. I only get a black screen and when you click done the app crashes and goes to the desktop icons. This app doesn’t do as it states and is full of bugs! Looks like it will work when taking pictures with the app, but I’m not doing my project again for that.

### 2/5 — Need an update

*2020-03-21*

Great to take aligned pictures. Pretty basic function. but too simple. Also need update, for example, app just quit. It cannot delete a project.

### 4/5 — Question

*2019-12-01*

How do I turn OFF the flash?

### 3/5 — Almost there

*2019-11-04*

Please give the option to store and add a logo as well as manage transition speed. Add that and you’ll be 5 stars! Easy!

### 2/5 — Dommage

*2017-09-25*

Il manque la possibilité d aligner la photo « après » sur la première lorsqu’on les choisit dans l’album. On ne peut aligner qu’en prenant la seconde photo depuis l’application. C’est dommage j aurai mis 5 étoiles

### 1/5 — Sorry this doesn't work

*2017-07-14*

I saved the GIF, emailed it to myself, etc. It saves and send as a JPEG . This does NOT work, do not waste your time.

### 1/5 — Can not export GIF

*2017-05-12*

The reason I bought this was to create a before/after slider or GIF to fundraise for a mural for our elementary school. The app offers an option of saving a GIF of the changing image to your photo roll, but it does not work. It only saves a screenshot of the before photo.

**Developer response:** When saving the GIF to your camera roll, it will only appear as a static image in your photo library, but is in fact a GIF. But don't take my word for it, if you email the photo to yourself it will show up as a moving picture.

### 3/5 — Ganz nett.. aber wieso nicht GIF oder Video speichern?

*2017-01-08*

Das ist ja alles ganz nett. . Auch gut umgesetzt.. das neue Bild dann mit "Schablone" aufzunehmen 👍🏻

Aber wieso kann ich das nicht als GIf (gerade wieder im Kommen durch "LivePics" ) oder als kleines Video speichern/teilen??

**Developer response:** Danke für die Bewertung. Ich freue mich zu verkünden, dass wir jetzt GIFs unterstützen. LiveFotos kommen bald.

### 2/5 — Sort of works ok

*2016-10-25*

Does what I was looking for but it's a pretty bad app. Full of spelling mistakes, ugly and if you switch to another app it wipes the photo you've taken!! So make sure you save straight away. Also no control of opacity and doesn't save EXIF data on photos such as location

**Developer response:** Please check out V2.0 of Before and After. We've improved the look and feel and added new functionality. 

Any new photos you add are saved into recents automatically, so you can always retrieve them! Thanks for the feedback.

### 1/5 — Before and after disaster

*2016-09-14*

Horrible app. Difficult to customize according to applications needs

**Developer response:** If you have any specific concerns, please contact us as ivan@appsbyivan.com. In the meantime, we've launched a big update which improves the look and feel of the app, as well as the functionality.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2016-07-20*

Don't buy this app. It's junk and a rip off. Doesn't work on creating useful collages from your gallery. Only works if you take pictures imm with your camera and use them immediately. There are better free apps for out there.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you feel that way. Before and After is a great app to take perfectly aligned before and after photos. It's now even better with the release of Version 2.0! I'd encourage you to take a look at it again.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Rarely works, years since updates

*2024-01-17*

I should of checked the dates of the review. Waste of a few quid. Interface gets stuck on pictures used and won’t show new ones, crashes out lots of times. Shame as it was a simple thing that it worked I would quite like

### 1/5 — Super potentiel mais

*2022-11-08*

Enfin une application qui fait dès avant après parfait ! Gros problème c’est que je prends la majorité avec le grand angle de mon téléphone. Du coup impossible de faire dès avant après avec des anciennes photo :/ ça serait top de rajouter juste le choix de l’objectif ! Sinon c’est super :)

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2022-10-20*

Awful app. Constantly crashing when trying to select photos. Unusable

### 1/5 — 0 Sterne

*2022-02-21*

Totaler Schwachsinn

### 1/5 — Total schwach !

*2020-03-21*

Ich habe 2 fast identische Vorher/ Nachherbilder - alles währe gut wenn ich jetzt eines ans andere durch skalieren anpassen könnte - leider ist das nicht vorgesehen - daher nur 1 stern - für mich weggeworfenes geld ! 
Hoffe ich find was besseres ...! 
Mein tip - finger weg !

### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work with existing photos

*2019-01-10*

I wanted to use this app to line up two existing photos I had. Was 100% unable to do so for two reasons:

1. Adding existing photos from my phone showed nothing but a black box. 

2. Once you pick a before picture, it takes you straight to the camera so you can’t pick a second image from your library.

I’m sorry... the concept was great but it just doesn’t work yet.

### 1/5 — Does not ever work

*2018-03-18*

Cannot ever get a ‘before’ photo to load - it just spins
The only ever one time I successfully managed to do a before and after it never saved it
Completely pointless and useless app

### 1/5 — Photos will not export

*2018-03-14*

I just wasted $2.00 by not trusting other people who reviewed this app. Don’t be like me, don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2017-12-17*

I’m a painting contractor so I like to have side by side before and after pictures.  This app doesn’t capture the entire picture cutting off a portion of each picture, making it look completely unprofessional.

### 1/5 — Worst ever

*2017-12-05*

Garbage. Bought this app and tried to safe a before and after video slide show and it saves as an image even though I clicked “save as gif” every single time. Waste of my money.

### 5/5 — App works excellent after becoming familiar

*2021-11-11*

I purchased this app to align two previously taken pictures, and to my surprise found it wasn't possible.  After contacting the programmer and receiving a timely response, I discovered alignment is achieved only when taking the second photo.  It's simple as you: 

1) Select (or take) the 1st photo
2) Acquire a second photo by taking a picture.  When preparing to "snap" a second photo, alignment of the that one (with the 1st) becomes obvious.

I noticed from some low rated reviews they had the same expectations as I did when purchasing.  After pursuing it further did I find how it worked and am glad I did.  In taking the second picture, you are aiming the image on your phone camera through a transparent "template" of the first, enabling a very versatile alignment method.
Now that I'm familiar with it's use, I'm looking forward to some sharp before & after photos!

### 5/5 — AWESOME APP

*2017-09-24*

I LOVE this app and the developer is very responsive if you ever have any issues with it.

It makes your "before" image transparent so that you can PERFECTLY line up the "after" picture!    😄. 

UPDATE:  I have been using this app for several years now and it's awesome!

### 5/5 — Great, does exactly what it claims to do

*2017-07-29*

I spent a lot of time looking for this exact functionality. This is the only app I found that actually works and does what it claims. The ability to change the opacity of the overlay earns the fifth star. 
Nice design and bug free implementation. Well done.

**Developer response:** If you slide your finger up and down, the opacity will change. Give it a go!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-05-08*

Great app! Works exactly as intended!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2017-01-06*

Easy to use, does what it's supposed to do. Great app

### 5/5 — Saw it on IMGUR

*2017-01-06*

Does exactly what it's supposed to do effortlessly!

### 5/5 — Works great! Simple design and I love it

*2017-01-06*

Found this on Imgur which I believe the creator posted about, I've been looking for something similar for a while, very simple and easy to use, what more could you ask for! :)

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2016-03-29*

I'm in construction and part of what I like to do for my clients is take before and after photos of the project. It's always a challenge to get the same angle 'after' photo as the before photo. This app is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I love the transparent overlay that allows me to line up all of the elements that didn't change and take the photo at the same angle. This app also allows me to fade between the before and the after image… I can't say enough about how much I love this. Great app!

### 5/5 — Sehr geil

*2016-03-11*

Wenn man Veränderungen visualisieren will, funktioniert super und ist sehr einfach zu handhaben! 5 Sterne

### 5/5 — Works good!

*2015-09-12*

Does what you'd expect. Great app.
