Contacted them and their response was quick and helpful. All credit to them. A great app now, thank you ### 4/5 — Framing Made Easy *2024-11-24, version 10.8* Have used this app for a few years. It’s easy to use and offers a decent selection of options. ### 4/5 — Frames *2024-11-01, version 10.8* Great App. that is easy to navigate. Could be a better selection of profile frames. ### 3/5 — Fix the Shadow *2024-10-10* Been using frame builder for years. Loved it but with new update you changed the close to wall realistic shadow to a long shadow I would use in a 3D floating element. Very strange choice. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. Shadow settings can be reset in the general settings (tap the first thumbnail of the table, and choose the light button in the toolbar). If possible, send me a screenshot by email, it would be useful for me to understand your problem. Thanks in advance. ### 3/5 — Fix the Shadow *2024-06-28* Been using frame builder for years. Loved it but with new update you changed the close to wall realistic shadow to a long shadow I would use in a 3D floating element. Very strange choice. **Developer response:** Many thanks for your review. The shadow settings can be adjust in the general settings (zoom window). If possible, send-me a screenshot by email, it would be useful to me to understand your problem. Thank you in advance. ### 4/5 — Framing Made Easy *2024-05-05* Have used this app for a few years. It’s easy to use and offers a decent selection of options. **Developer response:** Many thanks for your review :) ### 5/5 — Bring back the original, this new addition is slow, slow, slow! *2024-02-03, version 10.3* Thumbs down ### 5/5 — Superb *2024-01-23, version 10.3* I love this app. As a framer it allows me to provide visualisation to my customers. I put bespoke mount board colours in for my in-stock board. I also use custom moulding. The visualisation is very representative of the finished frame. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-01-12* I have been using this for years very responsive developer and great app. **Developer response:** Many thanks for your review 🙂 ### 4/5 — Better before update *2024-01-11* Not sure what happened but the app was better before. One problem is that when you import a photo it reverts it to before it was edited in photo. **Developer response:** Many thanks for your review. Please, contact-me by email to explain more about your disappointment. ### 4/5 — Better before update *2024-01-09* Not sure what happened but the app was better before **Developer response:** Many thanks for your review. Please, contact-me by email to explain more about your disappointment. ### 5/5 — Excellent APP *2021-11-15, version 9.3* Très réaliste avec un très beau choix de cadres. À posséder sans faute. ### 5/5 — Worth every penny! *2021-08-23, version 9.3* I searched and searched for an app to digitally frame my art. This is the only one worth my time. Definitely recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great to see art mounted and framed. *2021-07-24, version 9.3* Excellent app! It makes visualization of artwork in frame and mount a simple procedure. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t access my photos *2025-01-03* Thought accessing my photos would have been available but I can’t see any way of doing it. The button to do so is greyed out and not usable. So the app is pretty useless and a waste of the fee. **Developer response:** Many thanks for your feedback. The button is grayed out because you probably answered "No" when the app asked for permission to access the photos. Go to IOS settings, under privacy, and allow Framebuilder to use it. Feel free to contact me privately to clarify. Kind regards. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2024-10-15* Not what I expected. **Developer response:** I regret that the application does not satisfy you. Do not hesitate to contact me privately to provide clarifications or share your comments. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate and icky *2024-04-12, version 10.3* No more to say. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Cannot save nor share *2022-03-29, version 9.3* So far I have been unable to save a framed image, nor share to FB. There is a warning ‘!’ On the file size options, but no explanation as to why or how to resolve it. ### 1/5 — Won’t save to photos *2022-02-15, version 9.3* Frames are good but won’t save to photos. Get error message every time. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-12-29* I’ve used many apps and this is hopeless. Don’t waste your money. **Developer response:** Hi, could you, please, clarify ? Your review is useless for the users, as for the developper. Many thanks in advance. ### 1/5 — Awful quality *2017-10-06* After finally figuring out how to use the app and getting an image framed, I was not happy with the quality of the final product. I purchased this to use the photos in my Etsy shop. Don't waste your money if you want something with good quality. **Developer response:** Hi shawnalane, I am very surprised with your review. Could you please contact me, through the App, to clarify. Problems or bugs are always possible, I will do the best to fix it asap. Many thanks to you in advance ! Edit : I was just thinking about something else. Are you sure that you save your frame from the right way : the HD quality is from the "action menu", and not from the "Eye window". I hope that it will help you. Let me know otherwise. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-03-10* Right out of the gate, it opened a text box that won't go away and now all I can do is type on the home page. Did you test this ap? **Developer response:** Many thanks for your feedback. I am really sorry for that, this problem has never been reported previously. You should try to remove it from your device, and re-install it. Of course, if it doesn't work again, it will be easier to fix the issue if you clarify by email, on the website, I will do the best to help you. ### 1/5 — A waste of £1.49 *2014-08-13, version 5.3* Very few tools available without additional purchases. A waste of your time and money!! ### 2/5 — Was Superb you’ve ruined it! *2024-01-24* How the heck do you send a finished project to my photo file? Only been using this latest version for 10 minutes and I’m deeply annoyed! What was once a perfect app that was easy to understand has now become a total DISASTER! You’ve made it over complicated with a mish mash of features that are mostly whimsical and unnecessary for professional artists? All we want IS WHAT IT USED TO BE before you messed about with it! I can’t even find a way to send a framed picture to my photo file? NOT HAPPY! What’s that little heart for at top right? Get rid of it! It encroaches on to the frame? Sorry but you just ruined a good app! **Developer response:** Thanks for you feedback, and I am sorry for your disappointment. This app has evoluate in order to satisfy users querries. The heart keeps up to 6 frames to compare them together, I will try to optimise its location. To save, use the ordinary sharing (to find the save, scroll bottom). Don't hesitate to contact me privatly to clarify. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review of frame builder app *2025-07-01* I love this app and use it constantly for posting my art on Instagram or in my website. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-04-03* Great app- I use it to present photos of my paintings for social media postings.
