Please fix it. Cant tolerate anymore ### 1/5 — Would not recommend App Freezes *2021-06-01, version 4.6* The App continues to freeze. Not very functional ### 1/5 — No good *2021-01-31, version 4.6* There is no help and there no way to save the result!!!!! ### 1/5 — Used to be great but doesn’t work now *2021-01-14* The app was good but it has stopped working, crashing immediately after trying to open. I think it’s because it hasn’t been updated in years. I wouldn’t recommend downloading, find something more up to date. ### 2/5 — It used to work well, but has crashed for over a year *2020-12-18, version 4.6* I used to use this a lot when it first came out. It worked fine. But now it freezes when trying to save a photo or send it to IG. Sometimes it completely crashes and you lose your edited photo progress. I tried to stick it out for a long time, and maybe give it more chances. But this is absolutely ridiculous at this point. So I’m uninstalling and I just downloaded Square Fit. ### 1/5 — Liked this app but there’s a few bugs to work out *2020-08-23* Fix the bugs. Can’t add frames anymore and freezes ### 1/5 — Constantly locks up *2020-07-02* I've had a miserable time with this app. Doesn't open up my instagram app and freezes every time I try to save the picture. Very flaky on iphone 7 ### 1/5 — Supplies? *2020-04-28* where’d the frames go? download just keeps spinning and spinning... ### 3/5 — Great app for old phones *2020-04-14, version 4.6* I use it all the time but I have to work with it in an iPhone SE because it freezes on the iPhone X ### 1/5 — Hmmm *2020-03-16* Crashes on every click of an option, forcing you to restart the app by coming out and going back in. Takes much longer than it needs to to get the job done but eventually shrinks your image with a wide white border- handy for resizing watsapp display pic. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2020-02-09* Are you kidding me? It freezes everytime! It’s crap! ### 1/5 — App gets stuck *2020-01-24* App gets stuck when clicked on save image after squaring is done ### 2/5 — Hashtags stopped working *2019-12-28* This app used to work perfectly but for some reason the hashtags won’t generate anymore and that page has just been blank for a month now. However it still makes the photos square, so it kind of works. ### 3/5 — Freezes when I save *2019-12-15* I’ve been using this app for a while and it works great. It’s simple and easy to use. However, when I save it to my phone, the app freezes and I have to restart the app. The photo still saves to my phone, but if I want to square a different picture I have to close out of the app and restart it. ### 2/5 — Incredibly buggy/laggy *2019-10-18, version 4.6* Works worse with each iPhone update. App hasn’t been updated in 3 years. Impossible to download additional features because the app just lags out forever. ### 4/5 — I’m *2019-06-21, version 4.6* K has on ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Downgraded *2023-12-02, version 5.0* I used to love this app for the editing features. You could easily blur out acne, whiten teeth, remove red eye, and so much more. Now it’s ONLY sizing your photo to a square… and has ads ### 1/5 — Resolution *2023-11-20, version 5.0* When photo editing after being resolutions too much poor quality! Please, upgrade this features ### 1/5 — New update is awful *2023-07-06* Used to be able to edit photo now you can only make it a square ### 1/5 — I Miss Editing *2023-06-01, version 5.0* What happened to all of the editing features?!?!?! Being able to cover a zit was the best thing about this app and now it’s gone 🥺 ### 1/5 — Bad idea to take away editing *2023-03-21, version 5.0* It use to be my go too app for editing photos now it’s just blah!!! ### 1/5 — Bring back editing *2023-03-09, version 5.0* Hate that they took away the editing. ### 1/5 — Why??? *2023-03-02* I have used this app for years and it was awesome until recently. What happen to all the editing features? Do they require a pro paid version? Why make such a drastic change? Why not just add addition cool editing features and charge for them. Very disappointed in the direction of this app. ### 1/5 — Disappointing updated version *2023-02-27, version 5.0* It used to have lot of other features which are not there anymore. It cost me almost $5, just to make my photos square…seriously! Are you kidding me…??? ### 1/5 — New update? Bad decision. *2023-02-26* I have been using this app since like 2016 and it’s always been a really good app. No issues at all. They’ve seemingly updated this app very recently and took away some awesome photo editing features like sharpening, contrast, brightness, etc. WHY????? Those addition free features is what’s kept me a loyal user for yearsssss. Whomever’s decision it was to remove those additional photo editing features made a very bad call. PLEASE BRING IT BACK! ### 1/5 — Square frame or whatever it is *2021-10-28, version 4.6* Crashes ! Constantly! if you don’t want to give some creepy dude your number, just open this app and tell him your phone froze. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-10-12, version 4.6* I love this app it’s so beautiful.
