### 1/5 — App stopped loading

*2024-11-04*

Used to be a great app! I purchased different sets and had the subscription. Then one day going to make an instagram post and the app just stopped loading. I get to the main screen, hit the add photos button and nothing comes up. Quite a shame, I loved his work and still follow him on his socials but I haven’t seen any attention to this app in years

### 1/5 — What happened.

*2024-10-29, version 5.3*

It used to be my favorite app for multiple photos but now it doesn’t load anything at all.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and not worth it

*2024-10-22*

At first, the frames and designs aren’t bad but adding and editing them is glitchy and frustrating. Now trying to use it it’s completely blacked out and won’t let me open any designs. It just times out. I tried deleting the app and data and re-downloading and still not working. Don’t recommend this app unless bugs are fixed.

### 1/5 — don’t subscribe you cant unsubscribe

*2023-06-09, version 5.3*

won’t let me unsubscribe. no one to contact to cancel subscription … someone people do something

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel membership

*2023-01-31, version 5.3*

There is no place to cancel the membership.

### 2/5 — Not a fam

*2021-10-06, version 5.3*

Too many glitches. The app allows you to upload images but doesn’t reveal the images. Blindly selecting is frustrating & is not worth it.  If they could fix that it would be great.

### 3/5 — Nice but really needs to squash some bugs

*2021-09-24, version 5.3*

This app is a great idea and perfect for what I need. However there are a lot of bugs that need squashing before it’s anything more than a 3/5

### 2/5 — After 10 months, image quality still suffers.

*2021-07-13*

I respect Sawyer’s creative work, so when he announced this mobile app (in 2019?) I was really excited. At first I loved the app but quickly realized the image quality gets completely shot. This has been a known issue and every time I’ve asked support if this will be fixed, they say yes! In the next update! Uh huh, it’s almost been a year and it’s still bad. -_- So there’s $20 down for the year subscription. 

For what it’s worth, shooting with an EOS R, L series glass, 28-70 f2 rf, 85 f1.4 ef, 50 f1.2 ef, 100 f2.8 ef. RAWS processed in Adobe Lightroom. Exported at 100% quality jpeg.

Just my experience. ✌🏻

**Developer response:** We are so excited to announce today there will be an update that not only addresses this, but allows for the highest quality exports on mobile :-) 

Thank u for ur feedback, u have been heard!

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2021-06-22, version 5.3*

Don’t bother with this app, there are zero free frames to useJust use photoshop.

### 1/5 — Not worth any $.

*2020-12-27, version 5.3*

Glitchy app, doesn’t work.  User interface frustrating, ultimately gave up and unsubscribed within :15.
