There are so many different things you can do with your photos of your pets. I made a few really adorable photos of my little girl my Furbaby Winnie. I definitely recommend this app. I just started using it about a month ago, and I love it. 5 STARS 🌟 ACROSS THE BOARD! ### 3/5 — Cute but has issues *2024-12-20, version 1.0.217* App crashes whenever you try and use the voice feature. Cute but needs work. ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2024-11-12, version 1.0.217* This app doesn’t work at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still doesn’t work. I would give it a 0. Are developers ever going to address issues??? ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2024-10-26, version 1.0.217* I tried removing the app because it only shows one picture option. I had just renewed my subscription too. I hope they can get this fixed. Last year I would’ve given it a 5 star. ### 1/5 — This app is junk now *2024-10-14* This app used to be great, but now that they have “fixed the bugs” you can edit your photo to remove the background, and I left with one choice of background, which is a beach. All the stickers are gone. This bug fix destroyed the app. **Developer response:** We hear you and we're sorry — that bug fix broke more than it fixed. We've just submitted a major update that rebuilds the core photo editing from the ground up. Backgrounds, stickers, and all features should work properly again. Please give it another try when the update is available! 🐾 ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2023-12-21, version 1.0.217* Keeps crashing no matter what you do ### 5/5 — Great fun *2023-11-21, version 1.0.217* Easy to use ### 3/5 — It’s a fun *2023-11-15, version 1.0.217* But it removes the background and leaves lots of pixels from the background and it removes parts of the dog, which there in the picture doesn’t look good at all because their legs or paws or ears are missing. I tried picture after picture, and it was always removing part of the dog. ### 1/5 — I dose not want to open *2023-10-14, version 1.0.217* I think it is horrible it keeps just shutting off the second I open it. I thought it looked cute because it’s about dogs and I love dogs especially pugs and it just keeps kicking me out the first time I went in I thought oh I need to edit some pictures of me instead because I do not have a dog, but it just kept kicking me out of the app. Do you not get it ever I love dogs and I thought it would give me pictures to edit and take my own pictures that would be fine if it didn’t have its own pictures but I didn’t like that you kept kicking me out and I saw a pug background on the bottom row after I took a picture I was editing it and it only took a corner of me in the editing. I do not think you should get the game. It kicks you out and it does not work.👎👎👎😭 ## Frequently asked questions about Dog Photo Editor ### What can I do with the Dog Photo Editor app?
