Still hoping otherwise they are a solid 5*. ### 4/5 — 为什么现在保存的只能是原图了？ *2022-08-25* 突然再用，发现无论用什么保存转发方式，都只能存修改前的原图了。修改后的内容就是存不到图上。 ### 2/5 — Schade um die 3,50€ *2021-03-15* Eher unbrauchbar. Es wird nicht erwähnt, dass man selbst keine Schriften zufügen kann. In der App-Vorschau sehen die gebogenen Texte gut aus. In der Realität sind die Buchstaben leider oft schief und nicht auf einem Pfad; das Schriftbild ist eine Katastrophe. Leider gab es keine Probeversion, so dass ich nun 3,50€ zum Fenster herausgeworfen habe. ### 2/5 — Not worth $2.99 *2020-11-04* This is a great idea & could be an invaluable tool if it functioned properly. The draw your own curve feature doesn’t work at all. Sometimes the way the letters will be spaced out in order to fit the preselected curve is very unnatural. I was excited about this app & would happily pay for it if it worked better. Sad. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money / it’s a rip off *2020-08-16* 1. Random letter spacing. Sometimes 1 space between letters in the same word, sometimes 3, looks childish. 2. Cannot set or adjust shape size. 3. Limited font selection (yes you can download, transfer and try to add them to the app... which did not work) 4. Cannot select font size. ### 2/5 — Limitado *2020-08-07* Bem limitado e com poucas fontes. Existem apps gratuitos muito melhores! ### 3/5 — It takes work *2020-07-12* The way this is setup could be a lot better. You can’t use 2 fingers to resize/adjust things. The “draw your own line” feature doesn’t appear to function properly. I was looking for something quick and didn’t want to dig in and learn something. For the $2’s it can be way better. ### 1/5 — Poxy *2020-05-27* Poxy as app I woulda swore but didn’t let me don’t download doesn’t work waste of 5 bucks ### 4/5 — No watermark when used in another app *2020-04-13, version 1.12.2* Hi. I save the word as a watermark but when i use it on another app to make a creative, the background shows up. What can i do? ### 1/5 — Not what I expected. *2020-01-31* When you buy something you want value for money but I feel that I didn’t get it here. Just doesn’t impress me at all ### 3/5 — Fondo transparente. *2019-10-28, version 1.11.1* No existe fondo transparente y poderlo exportar con este fondo. ### 1/5 — You can’t do a plain background *2019-07-27* Yeah they’ve got a few “fun” backgrounds, but nothing that is plain or the option of no background - not worth the money ### 3/5 — Language Arabic *2019-07-04, version 1.11.1* ياريت يضاف خاصية دعم باللغة العربية ### 3/5 — Export is not working *2019-06-17* Every time I export my photo, the photo is saved with no text so this app seems useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor text spacing *2026-03-18* The spacing on the text was uneven and rendered the app completely unusable. I tried several fonts and shapes and sizes and nothing changed. I could place individual letters onto a picture with more efficiency than this app. So disappointing. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-13* App does not save to photos. No point paying for this app ### 1/5 — Not useful *2024-06-25* This app is not useful at all and the options of background and fonts are unappealing, do not pay money for this ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-02-17* Unable to edit beyond preset curves, the layout of the text itself is awful. Don’t buy ### 1/5 — Total waste of money. *2023-07-18* Can’t save as anything other then a image. Can’t remove background. Completely pointless. I will be requesting a refund when I’m done here ### 1/5 — Blurry Fonts *2023-01-25* The text is always low resolution regardless of the font choice ### 1/5 — DON’T BOTHER *2022-04-11* Worst app ever spacing of letters dreadful, yes curves but that’s it. ### 1/5 — Pocas opciones *2021-11-02, version 1.12.2* Pocos ajustes, no puedes ampliar la foto para ajustar las palabras, la interfaz muy mala, se cuelga, si lo sé no pago un € por ella, dinero tirado. ### 1/5 — No good *2020-11-23* Don’t waist your money on this ### 1/5 — Missed the mark *2020-09-17* It’s missing an automation of centering and balancing the text regardless of the font used. This doesn’t, missed the mark, and defeats the purpose. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of my favourite apps! *2024-05-11* I have used this app for years, and it is really one of my favourites. It has a great variety of letter fonts (and you can add more), as well as a good selection of colours and shading / shadow effects as well. I’m grateful that this app keeps working with each new iOS software update even though it’s an older app- thank you! xx ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-11-23* Where to start? You can crop and edit photos right in this app as well as add several choices of curved font as well as horizontal and vertical! Lots of colour choices and a good selection of fonts to choose from! Worth the money personally! I’m still learning it as I just got it but so far, so great! ### 5/5 — Good *2019-07-05, version 1.11.1* สวยงาม ใช้ง่าย ดีมาก ### 5/5 — Sehr gut👍 *2019-07-04* Ich finde es sehr gut 👍 ### 5/5 — Plus que pas mal *2019-07-04* Appli très complète (même en version gratuite) et très intuitive. ### 5/5 — Playing with text *2019-03-09* It’s a very good app. I can chose the original ratio of photos to work with and add my own fonts! The only feature that it lacks is the ERASER tool. I need it for more artistic effects. ### 5/5 — 2019 best app *2019-01-25* Only app I can find to use for curved text and covers the whole aspect for me to use in so many different ways in artistic expression for twitter Facebook gaming twitter utube and many more platforms that need a curved text for their profile or server image which is circular 10/10 on the app management tyvm for making this app only need a small font upgrade for us all many text headings aren’t able to be curved. If not made on this app using its fonts 😁😁 gimme gimme please would love to be able to curve a special made font heading / image as well as fonts provided that would be 2019 best app option for me personally and with all designers I’ve shared this app with tyvm for making it ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says... *2018-05-17* Slight learning curve (LOL) but honestly easy enough to learn in 5 minutes ### 5/5 — Mobilab ist einfach *2017-02-12* Sehr gut ### 5/5 — Love this *2017-01-31, version 1.11* Amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
