### 1/5 — Layers, Smart Photo Editor

*2023-08-26*

A waste of money.  Lack of features.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-07-08, version 0.2.0*

Offers free 7 day trial trial but charges for a year. Take money anyway. 
App does not work no ‘pro’ features. No layers 
Just color balance sliders 
Complete scam avoid

### 1/5 — AVOID THIS APP ITS A SCAM

*2022-05-26, version 0.2.0*

This app is a total scam and Apple need to review the developer ASAP.

The app is designed to trick you into thinking you’ve opted into a 7 day free trial to try the ‘PRO’ features. Once you’ve confirmed your Apple ID and continue, it charges your account and takes the money immediately. 

There’s a ‘help tab’ at the top which actually doesn’t work or guide you to any help at all. So there is no way of contacting the developer to try to sort it out. What a coincidence!

Not only do they trick you into thinking you’re getting a free 7 day trial of the PRO version, they take your money and don’t even unlock the PRO features!!! So now I’m sat here £4.99 down and no PRO app!?!? 

So, in conclusion. They falsely advertised a product on the App Store, take your money and you don’t even get what you’ve unwillingly payed for.

### 1/5 — Free trial does not work

*2021-07-07, version 0.2.0*

Signed up for free trail but was charged annual fee straight away. Try to cancel subscription but still charged

### 1/5 — What layers?!

*2021-03-15*

Are you actually calling the auto cut-out “layers”?
That is totally misleading and in NO MANNER worth your silly subscription cost.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-02-06, version 0.2.0*

Downloaded for a free trial charged me straight away. Doesn’t even work.

### 1/5 — False

*2019-11-15*

This app isn’t anything like the pictures and doesn’t even do what it’s advertised to! 😤

### 2/5 — not stable

*2019-10-19*

crashes
