### 5/5 — I would write at five stars but

*2026-03-30*

This app is cool but the only problem I’m related to is when there’s like when you put like a text And then if you put like the text in it crashes the app

### 3/5 — I can’t use this unfortunately

*2024-12-27*

Unfortunately I can’t use this cause I have a iPhone 13 so yeah. I can’t use it but it’s nice to check out so I’m giving this 3 stars to be nice and also cause it’s nice to check out. And also I’m 7

### 3/5 — The idea is great!

*2024-07-19*

Honestly this app is really cool! I didn’t prank anybody and that’s because the home screen thing you start on is for the iPhone 6 Plus, 7 plus, or 8 plus. I’m using an 11 year old iPhone 5s! So sure, I can use a home screen photo from my library, but I’m to lazy to, like everybody today.

Another reason I didn’t prank anyone is because the cracks just aren’t realistic, especially on older iPhones with lower resolutions, like my iPhone 5s.

However, I do love the app because everything is mostly free that I’m aware of, so good marketing, developers!

### 1/5 — terrible app why even create it

*2024-04-01, version 3.0*

At first when I downloaded it I thought the cracks it would be my Home Screen but it just stayed on the app and it was useless.I don’t even know why you created this app!  I mean why even bother making a terrible app like that.If you wanted to make a app like that then have the crack go on the Home Screen. So fix it or take it of the App Store.

### 5/5 — Get Minecraft as well

### 5/5 — Fooled everyone!

*2022-11-25*

I got this thinking it would be lame, but it actually scared my dad and family, well, not my brother but he’s a tough crowd. It was so funny to see my dad’s face when he saw the  “crack” in my Home Screen!

### 2/5 — Stupid
