### 4/5 — Updates after 3 years!

*2024-03-18*

Updates after 3 years! I’ve used this app frequently and I now see they are supporting higher resolution exports. I hope this app is picked up again by the developer and more features added. Thank you! Love the simplicity of the app.

### 1/5 — I need

*2022-08-27*

I would like it to take images from both my camera roll AND my saved folder in my IG. and I need it to capture video, not just a still image.

### 5/5 — Really easy!

*2021-02-18*

I use this frequently and it’s always worked as expected!

### 5/5 — Happy so far

*2020-08-23*

Not been using it long but it’s simple to use and does what it says

**Developer response:** Great! Let us know if you have any feedback or would like to see any new features :)

### 5/5 — The Best Free App

*2020-07-27*

The Best Free App for Instagram grids.

**Developer response:** Thanks! :)

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-04-13*

Used in the past but no longer working. Just spoon feeding ads with no opportunity to access or split my images

**Developer response:** Hi there! 

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. 

Sounds like something is going wrong here as we do allow you to split, save and share images to Instagram. Can you please get in touch with us on hello@ruapeakstech.com and expand on the issues you are having?

### 3/5 — Needs updating

*2019-09-29, version 1.1.3.1*

Worked well until I updated my phone to IOS 13.1.1 now the app is not compatible and will not function on my phone, there is no way to upload your photos to Instagram after you create the grid

### 3/5 — Quality issues

*2019-09-17, version 1.1.3.1*

easy to use but quality gets destroyed

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2019-07-07*

Image quality reduces to the point of them being completely useless and you have to watch a 30 second ad every time you want to grid something unless you upgrade.

**Developer response:** Hi there! The images are only downsized to the maximum size that Instagram will allow us to share. If you are seeing poor quality, please share an example with us to investigate.

There are a few Ads to support the development of the app, you can pay a small one-time fee however to remove these forever! Seems a like a good deal to us.

### 5/5 — Absolutely FABULOUS

*2019-05-07*

You only have to watch a single AD which is skippable after 5 seconds. Then you can grid your image in up to 12 squares with no watermark or logo. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
