### 4/5 — Pretty good.

*2025-07-16*

I found the sliders. If you select the tool again, strength and size sliders will pop up. This is all wanted. 

Interface could use some work. But the app did want I wanted it to do

### 1/5 — No longer works, just crashes

*2023-08-09*

I used to LOVE this app for when I wanted to do a bit of liquify on a cell photo from the convenience of my phone. Now when opening the app it promptly crashes and closes.  I’ve been waiting for a fix but it seems the app creator has abandoned their creation.  Shame, because it was an awesome basic app.

### 5/5 — I have a friend

*2023-05-31*

Pls help

### 1/5 — Why no save option

*2022-05-15, version 2.05*

I was making an edit for like 2 hours and I left the app for 30 seconds to answer a text and deleted all my progress 

Why does it reset the page when you leave yet there’s no option to save?

So if you download this app just don’t exit the app if in the middle of an edit.
But it’s not like you can actually save it tho

### 2/5 — Crashes on iPad

*2022-02-28, version 2.05*

I love this app on my phone.

Sadly it crashes on my iPad

### 1/5 — It Crashes

*2021-06-03, version 2.05*

It crashes. Don’t bother. Also the controls used to manipulate the photos is half hidden.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2021-03-27, version 2.05*

Just a glitchy app that constantly crashes. Hasn’t been updated in years so the interface is partially cut off at the edges.

### 2/5 — Not good

*2020-12-02, version 2.05*

App controls dont show fully on screen.
Controls are not precise and no option of mask available.
For a quick mod is fine but if you look for precise mods dont buy it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-11-08, version 2.05*

I try to use it and then it crashes. Update it or take it off the App Store.

### 2/5 — Please Update to iPhone X Screen Size

*2019-10-27*

App leider nicht für iPhone X optimiert
