### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-01-14, version 1.9*

Just a plain white screen. Not worth the 0p I paid for it.

### 5/5 — Creep gastric

*2016-12-30, version 1.9*

Haaaaaaa

### 1/5 — Doesn't Save Photos

*2016-10-24*

I can add one of the paltry dozen or so "spooky" images to a photo, but none of the buttons work. I can only rescale the added effect and use the slider to make it more translucent. Otherwise, nothing works and I have to force close the app. Deserves zero stars for the single most important function of an image editing app (saving) not working. Either this is a bug that affects certain individuals or a lot of these reviews are fake.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2016-10-15, version 1.9*

U can change the transparency of the ghost it is amazing!!! 5/5

### 1/5 — Crap!

*2016-09-24, version 1.9*

When I use the camera it gives me a blank screen
App kept asking me to pay for the ghost effects that I already paid for then it froze up while trying to add ghost to my picture.
Deleted the app
Garbage I want my money back

### 5/5 — Love it

### 3/5 — Yasss

*2016-08-17, version 1.9*

Love it

### 1/5 — Only 13 free ones & poor quality

*2016-08-16, version 1.9*

There just aren't enough quality images for the free version to encourage me to buy more. 
One of them still has the borders visible off the original pic rendering it useless, another is cut so bad it looks like a collage when you add it. In fact there's only a couple of any use.
There are no static images eg crucifix, they're all beings. Again, limited thinking.
You can look at the 64 images to buy in 'extra package' but most also have the snip outlines round them or are contrived Disney like colour photos of people wearing zombie fancy dress.
Disappointing.

### 5/5 — Ghost thing

*2016-07-30, version 1.9*

Add a bleeding ghost demon

### 5/5 — Cool

*2016-07-21, version 1.9*

Awesome app
