## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Almost everything is $$$

*2022-11-09*

Not much for free so don’t bother unless you’re looking to pay

### 1/5 — App that never loads

*2022-07-16*

I wasted my money - the app doesn’t even load properly. And only garbage and basic templates. DO NOT waste your money on it!

### 1/5 — 2.49 a month they don’t give you none of the colors only black and white

*2020-10-25*

The features are locked they don’t unlock the features unless your a lifetime member. This was lead to be better and it is not

### 1/5 — Too many paywalls

*2020-10-22*

Everything is behind a paywall. Just because of you offer some layouts for free doesn’t mean it’s a free app when you can’t even change the background colour to green without paying. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Review

*2020-09-29*

Tapping leads you to the wrong layout :/

### 1/5 — Annoying!

*2020-07-26*

Because I just opened the app and it asked me to review 10 times!

### 1/5 — It’s honestly not much

*2020-06-18*

Most of the templates are locked. Its very basic templates too even the locked ones, I wouldnt bother downloading this app. I literally downloaded it played with one, viewed the others... They even make you pay if you want a nude colored font.

### 1/5 — Not free for the “free trial”

*2019-10-24*

Not cool.

### 1/5 — Not satisfied

*2019-10-01*

I bought the life plan and still many things are locked and cannot use.

### 2/5 — Cannot delete the free trial

*2020-03-27*

Hi
I like your layouts but the Free trial window is all Over my layout and impossible to delete and I cannot post my layout because of it! 
This is no good!

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2020-05-09*

This app I so good I love it

### 5/5 — السيابي

*2019-04-17*

روعه

### 4/5 — I love it BUT.......

*2019-07-25*

This app is very easy to use, and I like the layout. They give you many choices and the free options are so nice you really don’t need to pay for premium ones. But what I don’t like is when you are designing they have no guide lines. I’ve accidentally uncentered something and could never get back perfect 😓 But otherwise I love it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and glad you love it! We will be adding guides in the next release. Stay tuned!

### 3/5 — No option to add my own clips/photos

*2019-09-04*

Why can’t I replace clips with my own? The only option it’s giving me is buying clips for $14 off getty images that I’ll never use.
