Only downside is the output is very low resolution. ### 4/5 — Love, Love, Love *2025-12-07, version 2.0.0* I absolutely love this app. It’s easy to use, and it works extremely well. The ONLY downside, and I’ll admit it’s significant, is that the resulting images end up being a lot lower than the source images. If there was some way to update the app to allow full-resolution exports, this would be my dream app. ### 3/5 — Hi res, please *2023-10-25, version 2.0.0* This app is terrific and easy to use, but it greatly reduces the resolution of my uploaded photo when saved. Please fix this. I need to keep good resolution in my photos or else they look pretty bad, especially when uploaded to Facebook with their lowered resolution ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-09-12, version 2.0.0* It crashes every time I select two pictures. It never worked; don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Does not work at all *2022-08-29, version 2.0.0* It does not even come close to working. Swaps the wrong faces and does not look like it fits in any instance ### 1/5 — Not working !!!! *2022-07-17, version 2.0.0* The app keeps shutting down and disappearing before it can use it !!!! ### 3/5 — Poor quality exports *2022-06-18, version 2.0.0* If all input images are high quality, the saved output will be standard quality. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2022-05-30, version 2.0.0* I just bought the app and it keeps crashing when I select two pictures I want my $.99 back! ### 1/5 — Useless. Doesn’t work. Avoid *2022-04-16, version 2.0.0* Cheap cut and paste app that doesn’t select or edit accurately in any way. Not what you want. Waste of. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and can’t refund *2022-03-23, version 2.0.0* Waste of money go elsewhere ### 1/5 — Shrinks the photos to postage stamp quality *2021-12-25, version 2.0.0* Great in theory but the photos after edit are horrible resolution (12mp photos are down to 1mp). What gives? Useless in this day and age. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-12-20, version 2.0.0* Can’t use the app at all ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So bad *2023-12-04, version 2.0.0* There’s no tools. It just guesses and swaps the pics and though my husband and I have cried out tears laughing at how bad our family photo looked trying to use this app, it really didn’t accomplish what I was going for ### 1/5 — Please update for ios17 *2023-11-23, version 2.0.0* Please update the app crashes ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-10-25, version 2.0.0* Literally does not work AT ALL. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2023-01-29, version 2.0.0* Doesn’t really work ### 1/5 — Do not download *2023-01-03, version 2.0.0* Cannot even get through one Christmas photo and the app crashes. Tried 5 times and everytime it crashes. No good ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-12-09, version 2.0.0* I used to use this app all the time… but recently it doesn’t work. Is there a fix coming soon? ### 1/5 — Needs Improvements *2022-11-29, version 2.0.0* This app does not work on editing pictures it constantly is shutting me out of the app ### 1/5 — Crashed *2022-11-28, version 2.0.0* Download app but it keeps crashing ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-11-27, version 2.0.0* Gave bad review bc it isn’t working right on my iPad keeps exiting out and then on iPhone it keeps crowing out half my picture . Fix or refund my money now now ! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-09-19, version 2.0.0* Does not work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-01-26, version 2.0.0* … ### 5/5 — Absolutely worth $2 app if can output full resolution *2023-12-15, version 2.0.0* I assume this app is free because of the really bad reviews 3-4 years ago. However I’m on the latest iOS with latest iPhone and everything is working fine even uploaded RAW48 and no problem. Only issue I have with this app at all is the fact the resolution is not full. I’m not sure if this can be a quick fix? I’d be willing to pay $2 for this app if the resolution could be full RAW input. Otherwise this isn’t really a solution that you want long term because all your best photos are gonna be wallet sized It will not be long until Apple releases a similar feature and may need to remove this from the App Store so I highly suggest you fix the output and then charge $2. I gave you 5 stars but only because I trust you will make it full output ### 5/5 — Great concept *2023-12-03, version 2.0.0* And it works well ### 5/5 — Great for toddlers!! *2023-06-18, version 2.0.0* This app is good! Impressed! ### 5/5 — Picture Perfect! *2023-01-05, version 2.0.0* This is probably my grandmother’s last Christmas and this app helped us get a great family photo without a professional photographer, but only after some really frustrating trial and error to figure out how to use the app. I’m going to offer some instructions starting from the very basics, in hopes that this review will help others avoid the frustration that I experienced. I almost deleted the app after thinking I had changed all the faces in a large family photo twice and nothing had changed. I’m happy I tried again. Once I figured it out, the app was a joy to use. 1. Select all of the photos that you took in the setting. Ideally they will be in the same grouping so the shadows, lighting and sizes of people’s faces will be proportionate, but if you are needing to insert someone that wasn’t present, work with whatever photos you have. Even use the outtakes, they may have a good smile of someone. If inserting someone, try editing the photo to get a similar skin tone and lighting effect, then save your edited photo to your camera roll before loading your photos to the app. This will keep the person from looking super obvious that they were added. 2. Once you have your photos loaded, use your thumb AND index finger to move the main photo around and resize it to zoom in on faces if you have a large group. 2. Use a single finger to highlight a person’s face or an element of the photo that you want to remove, only if it is not present in the other photos. Then choose a better expression or look from the options offered below the main photo. My Mistake- Just touching a face and not highlighting it will also bring up choices for edits under the main photo as well, they just WILL NOT go into effect. You MUST highlight whatever you want to change. **Tip- If someone has long hair and it is not lining up, or if something else in your “fixed” photo is not lining up correctly (say a wiggly lap child ends up with 3 legs, 😂🫣, I have the pics to prove it can happen), try highlighting a larger area in the main photo. This usually keeps things lined up better and fixes the problem. 3. Once your photo is picture perfect- (How did that happen before this app?) use the icon at the top right of the screen with the down arrow. There you will find options to save your new photo to your camera roll, email the photo, text the photo etc… I hope these tips help! Enjoy your retouched photos and treasured memories! ### 5/5 — Loved it and miss it! *2022-04-13, version 2.0.0* Can you make an update? Last one was 2 years ago and now It crashes when I try to upload my pictures. With a toddler in the house this app is mandatory! Help! ### 5/5 — Excellent & Easy to Use *2022-02-22, version 2.0.0* An app that actually does what it says it does without any fuss. Just corrected photos of my second cousins where some shots they were being sensible and others not so much, but I had a mix of expressions from both that would work together in one photo. I literally just highlighted the faces I wanted to correct, it found the matching face from the other image. Tapped the one I wanted and it swapped it without it looking weird or ‘shopped’. 89p well spent ### 5/5 — Clutch *2021-12-02, version 2.0.0* For those who take lots of group shots of those who don’t follow directions well, this is a lifesaver! ### 5/5 — Mama’s dream! *2021-11-26, version 2.0.0* Thank you so much for an app that helps this triplet Mama get a photo where all three of my 3 year olds are looking at the camera (when producing that reality is tough)!🙌🏻✨ Use is a little confusing at first, but with some experiment, I figured it out. ### 5/5 — Love this *2020-12-17, version 2.0.0* Christmas photos (family photos in general) with a toddler just got a whole lot easier. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
