### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-08-19, version 2.6*

This app has nothing to do

### 3/5 — Interesting but didn’t quite deliver

*2024-03-07, version 2.6*

The app is lacking a dynamic element, meaning, you should be able to play with the graphics, and not just position the picture within the frame.

### 5/5 — iPhone 14 pro max issues with ink photo

*2023-02-27, version 2.4*

I have been having difficulty using this since  CC switching to my iPhone 14 pro max.   iOS 16.3.1.   The ink/color/paper buttons at the bottom collide with the bar iOS places at the bottom, occasionally making it difficult to tap those

The save button at the top is touching the battery percentage indicator and I have absolutely been unable to save an image.   Apparently this phone needs the screen layout of those controls to be adjusted a bit.

Not going to ding the rating on this review as it’s really not the developer’s fault Apple has changed up things on a new model.

It was very happy on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and is fine on my iPad Pro.

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2022-10-22, version 2.3*

Nice App, please Add the feature to edit the texts in the templates …

### 1/5 — 居然买了这个 我是Sb

*2021-05-13*

居然买了这个 我是Sb。。。。。。。。。。。。。好垃圾的软件

### 4/5 — 简洁美观，但不够灵活

*2021-05-11*

图片做的很好看，不足的是对墨迹不能进行旋转移动、淡化等编辑，色彩选择也太固定了，希望能改进。

### 5/5 — 一些建议

*2021-03-25*

刚用，觉得还不错，就买了全部
①希望拍摄页面可以增多一些滤镜按钮，一次只有四个换来换去会很麻烦
②拍摄页面右上角的滤镜用于相册也是一样的问题，选项只有一套四个，还不能在页面里换

**Developer response:** 感谢反馈！建议我记下了，最近会更新一版，如果尝试可行就调整进去～～❤️❤️❤️

### 3/5 — Попсовенько

*2020-11-25, version 2.3*

Самые интересные фильтры стоят по 99₽ по отдельности

### 5/5 — 水印

*2020-11-20*

图片里水印能取消或者自定义就更好了

**Developer response:** 感谢反馈！这个问题我记下啦，后续考虑优化～

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2020-10-23, version 2.3*

Just found this app. WOW! I love it.
