### 2/5 — Crashing

*2025-07-17, version 3.3.2*

I just installed the app and whenever I try to add a photo it keeps crashing!! PLEASE FIX THIS.

### 5/5 — Sad

*2024-08-05*

I used to love this ap but I won’t even open with the new iPhone update :(

### 2/5 — Please update this

*2024-02-18, version 3.3.2*

This app was my absolute favourite for collages because of the custom sized frames, I was able to make great edits easily with this but it’s not able to access photos since the permissions update with iOS. Please please update the app, there’s nothing like this out there, heck I’ll buy the app all over again or even pay monthly if it means I can easily make some custom sized frames for collages again without the fuss of pixel measurements or needing precise movements to organise them.

### 5/5 — ⭐️ Powerful & Creative App 👍

*2024-02-01*

I’m so happy to have recently found this app. It is very creative and powerful! I love all the creative aspects to it. 

I have found one issue in that I am unable to access all of my photos. It only seems to access recent photos and not my photo albums. Hope this can be updated in future dates. 

I highly recommend this app! If you love Creativity you will love this app! 

Thanks to the creator for this app. Blessings to them and their family. Kind regards =)

### 1/5 — Disappeared

*2023-10-05*

I have had this app for years. I absolutely loved it. However, I just got the iPhone 15 Max and the app won’t open and all my previous frames have disappeared. I’ve deleted the app, reinstalled, it appeared minus my previous frames, then it disappeared again. I have done this repeatedly. I tried to message for support however all I see is a foreign language so I haven’t been able to get this to work. Any advice?

### 4/5 — Nice.

*2023-05-20*

This free version works. But the Pro version no longer uploads photos to use. When you choose camera roll, the app crashes. But this free version does ok.

### 3/5 — Photo fail to upload

*2022-12-01*

As you see the title, when I try to add a photo  the app crashes can you please repair the app from crashing.

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing Had to Delete

*2022-06-05, version 3.3.2*

I loved this app for a while and then it started crashing. Now, it crashes all the time. I can’t even load a photo into the frame. It is updated but doesn’t work at all. Sad, use to be a neat app.
