### 5/5 — Good for coming upers

*2026-07-27, version 7.2.2*

This is amazing for up and coming people it’s good for the come up but if you have higher use you probably will not need this

### 4/5 — Ideas

*2026-06-28, version 7.2.2*

As much as I love this app!! You could just have it where you don’t have to pay because like it annoying but ether then that it’s amazing

### 4/5 — Project save

*2026-06-22, version 7.2.2*

The app is very solid but the project save feature needs to be changed. It overrides your projects and you can’t really choose which version to save because the autosave feature

### 1/5 — Scam Do Not Purchase Subscription

*2026-06-15, version 7.2.2*

If you’re an artist do not subscribe you will not be able to use the photos this app generates for your cover art they will not be accepted by whoever your publisher is when submitting a song cover

### 1/5 — Poor update

*2026-06-02, version 7.2.2*

Since they updated this it adds an automatic white border around your artwork making your stuff look cheap

### 3/5 — Apple Support

*2026-05-10, version 7.2.2*

Hello Apple Support,

I am trying to contact the developer of the app “Cover Art Studio” by Gnoodl, LLC regarding clarification about the commercial usage rights and license terms for artwork created inside the app.

I have already sent multiple emails to the developer over the past several days requesting information about the Terms of Use and commercial licensing permissions, but I have not received any response.

I would appreciate assistance because I need to confirm whether the artwork and design elements created through the app can legally be used for commercial purposes such as music branding, album covers, merchandise, and trademark-related materials.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

### 3/5 — It’s ruined

*2026-04-10, version 7.2.1*

The update that changed the entire ui ruined everything for me, I can’t create covers for my music anymore because of essential features that have been changed. Please revert back to the older ui, or make a way to go back to an older version. I used this app all the time, and it’s essential to me

### 3/5 — Was 5 stars now 3:/

*2026-03-30, version 7.2.1*

Was a 5 star before the update tbh! my biggest complaint is the loading time and new ui that took out the different styles that really help randomize and come up with ideas off the random things that came

### 5/5 — You still alive I see👍🏾

*2026-03-26, version 7.2.1*

From day one I used to buy the element, spent a lot of money doing it to. All you need to do now is separate the purchased element, instead of having me scrolling through trying to find them in a sea of locked elements.

### 3/5 — RUBUS texts on issues when downloading works

*2026-02-24, version 7.1.8*

Can you fix this issue please? I just subscribed team…
