It’s annoying. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2019-08-17, version 2.2* It was easy to use. I like this app ### 4/5 — Awful *2019-05-31, version 2.2* awful ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2019-03-31, version 2.2* This is a buggy waste of program. And being ad-supported makes it completely unbearable (when that first ad clicked on and I had my headphones on, it totally blasted me) ### 1/5 — Was going to write the developer with my list of bugs, but I see this app was abandoned. 😞 *2019-03-01, version 2.2* Well, I get what I pay for, right? 😕 I found a 100% reproducible crasher bug and recorded every step required to reproduce it; doing a crop one way works, but the other, quicker way returns “Error: data unavailable”; the cropped photos I saved are NOT cropped (they’re unchanged!)*; and while looking for a way to contact the developer about this, I tried “More apps” and got a page that says, “An error occurred: a server with the specified hostname could not be found.” That’s how I ended up here, looking for a link to the developer so I could alert him to all the problems, when I spotted that the last rev was three years ago. It’s unavoidable that sometimes, apps are abandoned; there are plenty of good reasons for it. But to save the end user from frustration and irritability, it sure would be cool if developers started their app description with something like, “This app was abandoned [date], so it may not work with versions of the OS older than [iOS version].” That way, we’d know upfront that the possibility of problems occurring are higher than the average app, and that there’s no recourse, so to proceed with caution, or else look for another app. And if a time comes when the developer sees that the app either doesn’t work or works badly with the latest OS version, he could simply remove it from the store and save himself the inevitable hate spewn by rude and grouchy users who downloaded the app and found it to be anti-bueno, while saving the more polite users from the irritation of a non-working app. It looks as if it was a good app at one time, but that time’s now passed, and I need to hunt for another cropping app. I hope this review can save someone from the irritation I just spent an hour enduring. I also hope the developer found satisfaction (and success!) with whatever he turned to after Crop for Free. *I thought it was pretty funny that when I checked my newly-cropped images that they’d not been changed AT ALL, in spite of my having tapped “Save.” 😆 After all my hard work and aggravation, I didn’t end up with so much as a single cropped photo! 🥵 ### 1/5 — Saving *2019-02-19, version 2.2* I just got this app. I cropped a picture from my gallery. Finished it but when I went to save it wouldn’t save it. Kept saying data unavailable. Don’t understand. ### 1/5 — All won’t work *2019-01-17, version 2.2* Cannot get the app to work. Gives me an error data message every time. Very aggravating. ### 3/5 — Not a terrible thing for free *2019-01-11, version 2.2* But the WORST interface of any application of any kind in the world. Learn about humans guys. Horrible interface. ### 1/5 — BRUH *2018-12-26, version 2.2* It was going to be a four star app until it refused to save the images. ### 4/5 — worked well *2018-10-31, version 2.2* Loaded to my Ipad, quickly cropped the photo I needed. Satisfied. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad app *2021-09-15, version 2.2* I downloaded this app and later uninstalled it But it comes up all the time that it needs an update or delete it and I delete it but it still pops up ### 1/5 — Not being updated *2021-09-10, version 2.2* My iPhone cannot use this wonderful app any longer, because the developers are not updating it. I hope they will update it so that we can continue using it. ### 1/5 — Been bugged for months *2020-12-18, version 2.2* The feature to put text on your photo has been bugged for months now. App just shuts down when you try and click it. It’s useless. ### 1/5 — Ahhh *2020-05-08, version 2.2* I’m doing this because it made me ### 1/5 — Trash downloaded to crop and won’t *2020-02-22, version 2.2* This app is trash it’s slow. I literally downloaded it to crop something and it doesn’t even work. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my iPhone *2019-12-27, version 2.2* Doesn’t work on iPhone XS Max 13.3 ### 1/5 — Why won’t it save images anymore? *2019-12-25, version 2.2* I updated and now it wont save changes. ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Open *2019-10-05, version 2.2* The only accessible feature is the pay to not have ads. Swiping as the landing page instructs does not open gallery or allow the end user to perform other actions. ### 1/5 — Constantly Crashes *2019-09-20, version 2.2* This app constantly crashes and is always difficult to work with. I’m okay with dealing with an ad, as the app is free, but it crashes and you have to go through tons of ads and crashes to get one pic cropped. And the way the standard cropping tool is set up, it never works the first time... As soon as you tap the corners (after watching an ad) the screen goes blank, you try again, and again, and again... And every time it crashes when you try to start over. Obviously because they want to get in as many ads as they can, by forcing you to start over. If it worked properly even fifty percent of the time, it might be worth it... Would have bought the paid version if the free version didn’t continually and consistently crash... As is that’s a No! Will continue looking for a much better app! I’m sure there’s an app that’s actually user-friendly out there! ### 1/5 — What a piece of crap! *2019-04-29, version 2.2* Crashes every so often and can’t even use it? Anytime you try to save picture it just says “Data Unavailable” too 🤷‍♂️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dope *2021-06-27, version 2.2* Pretty good app ### 5/5 — Needs to update for IOS *2021-06-06, version 2.2* I love this app and use it a lot for my extensive 10,000+ photo collection but suddenly I can’t use it because it needs to be updated to work with the latest IOS on my IPhone. 😢 ### 5/5 — great app ! *2021-05-05, version 2.2* does what it claims simply! 😃👌🏼 ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2020-12-28, version 2.2* This app is very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Looks good *2020-08-10, version 2.2* I just started using the app and it seems to work great! ### 5/5 — Satisfaction *2020-06-27, version 2.2* I downloaded multiple apps before this and this one satisfied me most ### 5/5 — Good app *2019-02-06, version 2.2* Never thought about a quick free hand cropping tool but I needed it today! Good app! ### 5/5 — Good *2018-12-17, version 2.2* Works great on my iPhone does like I want it to. ### 5/5 — Not Too Shabby! *2016-02-21, version 2.2* For a free app, this little buggers not so bad! Ive fiddled around with other multiple (free) editing/cropping apps and this one is by far the best one and has SEVERAL free editing tools. Its great for silly little [craft] projects. ☺️ ### 5/5 — Perfect *2015-10-07, version 2.2* Simple, quick and makes a new image & doesn't change your original image. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
