Since I’m a travel blogger I was looking for more minimalist beach vibes and this app definitely gave it to me. After searching for so long I figured why not just give it one last download and surprisingly I’m not disappointed. Thanks guys ### 5/5 — So far so good *2020-08-11, version 3.1.1* I can express my stories more creatively using this app ❤️ ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-08-05, version 3.1.1* This app is great a total change to my feed 💕 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-07-31, version 3.1.1* This app is so amazing and you still get so much even the free stuff ### 5/5 — Love *2020-07-08, version 3.1.1* This is definitely a way to upgrade your photos ### 5/5 — Unique app *2020-06-23, version 3.1.0* It’s great!

I loved it and had no issues. Over the last week I haven’t been able to get it to work. When I click on the color button it completely freezes my phone and I have to click out of it. I’v tried deleting the app and re-downloading...I even had a few of my friends download the app to check and see if it was just my phone, and they had the same problem. I’ve contacted support and my message won’t go through. It’s annoying because I PAID for a year subscription. ### 1/5 — When it works it’s great but it doesn’t work *2019-07-04, version 2.91* It keeps crashing and I can only get it to work when I uninstall, reinstall and restore purchases. Bummer I just created a PDF for my marketing class and had to leave this app off because it doesn’t load properly and I can only use it on my iPad. **Developer response:** Hi Tamira, we fixed the issue. Please consider removing the 1-star rating. Thank you ❤️❤️🙏 ### 3/5 — Nice but... *2020-02-05, version 3.0.9* I like this app but they bribe you to give them five starts to unlock a feature which is the exact reason I didn’t give them five stars also if you want to unlock other things it’s around $32!!!!!!! That’s just insane! so my suggestion is to just find a better app that’s less expensive. ### 5/5 — Pretty….. *2023-02-02, version 4.26* Awesome app. Easy to use wonderful results ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2021-04-27, version 4.2* This app is user friendly, stylish and makes my photos on point lookin mg professional ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2021-04-27, version 4.2* By far the easiest way to create beautiful graphics for sharing on social media.
