### 2/5 — Load issues

*2026-06-30*

Constantly just has a blank screen; tired of paying for this, when it rarely works. Just saw no bug update in 5 years!?

### 2/5 — Close but needs editing help

*2025-11-06*

I like the fact that you can use your own water mark, but you can’t edit where it’s placed and you can’t edit the size to make the photos fit how you’d like

### 1/5 — Doesn't process

*2025-07-20*

After selecting your 2 images it just doesn't process. I have both apps and paid for both just to test out. Neither works anymore. Will be refunding.

### 1/5 — Awful. Should have read the reviews better.

*2025-06-17*

Paid for this app and it was a total waste. It seldom works and I just stare at a spinning screen until I get fed up and go to another (free) app to do the very simple job of placing two pictures side by side… literally the most basic task.

### 4/5 — Needs filters for your phone albums

*2025-04-25*

I would give this 5 stars but they need to fix it to where you can filter the photos in whatever photo album you choose to most recent. Unless I do my pics the same day it makes it hard starting in my work album and it takes me back to 2023 and no way to filter for most recent photos. Very annoying. Please fix asap. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2024-12-17*

Sadly, this app is not been updated in four years and no longer works.

### 2/5 — This app would be great if

*2024-06-19*

I always had access to my current photos… Access is blocked and I only can use a limited number of them. I have reached out to for an after for a fix and received no reply!

### 1/5 — They charge me and now it doesn’t work

*2024-05-16*

I am not happy with this. They charge me and the app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Starting to think it’s a scam

*2024-02-07*

Used to work good and now all it does is reload. Tried reaching out to customer support and no response. Somebody make this company a gofundme so they can get their ish together

### 5/5 — Best app for before, and Afters

*2023-07-20*

I own a cleaning company and out of several other apps I have tried over the years, This is, by far, definitely the best one and easiest to use.
