This app freezes. You can’t even get it to launch.

### 1/5 — No longer works with ios26

*2025-12-14, version 3.0*

It freezes.  Sometimes you can load a photo but you can’t pick a magazine template.  Takes forever to even load a photo.  App just completely freezes. Problem started with iOS 26.

### 2/5 — Two stars

*2022-01-26, version 3.0*

Fun to play around with.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2020-07-15, version 3.0*

When I first opened the app I didn’t know what to click on the starting menu because it does not give any directions
Then when I figured it out I tried adding text but YOU HAD TO PAY FOR IT it makes no sense paying for such simple things almost everything you had to pay for DO NOT BUY THIS APP

### 1/5 — Garbage App

*2020-06-18, version 3.0*

Don’t ever try to install this app. Its useless. Spent a lot of money, it never worked.

### 5/5 — Love it! My favorite App thus far!

*2020-05-02, version 3.0*

Fantastic!

### 1/5 — Wasted money

*2019-11-24, version 3.0*

I just wasted my money.   Says you can edit text after purchase but clearly you cannot.  Templates are not editable.
