Does what I need
I sketch, and use Instagram Stories as a way of sharing my sketchbook. I’ve been looking for a way to share a handful of sketches at the same time, without making a Post. This layout app does exactly what I need: gives me a frictionless way of grabbing a handful of photos and laying them out together in a single Story.
Been using it for a week now and the only unmet desire I’ve had was _saving_ instead of just sharing: I can’t save the collage to my photos (I can “Save to Files” — that’s not what I want though) I can only do the equivalent of copy-pasting. I might write a Shortcut to do it, so not a big deal. Just feedback.

Non stop crashing
I have been using Layout on and off since 2014….which makes me feel old now realizing that was ten years ago :’) anyways, this app used to be my go-to for making collages. It’s so clean and easy to use and allows you to make seamless collages in seconds. Only thing that hinders that though is the CONSTANT crashing. It’s rendered itself useless at this point. I literally cant even choose my photos before it goes back to the Home Screen. I get it’s an old app and hasn’t been updated in years, but you’d think since they would atleast fix the bugs that make it crash ? It’s obvious by the reviews hundreds of people still use this app (or atleast try to) so why not give it a quick fix? I always come back to this app to make my collages but then quickly get turned away when it crashes within 30 seconds of creating a collage and then I have to resort to another less appealing and hard to use app. I don’t usually complain about these things, let alone write reviews and my life will continue on whether this app is fixed or not, of course, I just think they’re throwing something really good away by not updating this app anymore.

Doesn’t stay open
I used to LOVE LOVE this app and used it all the time. For the last 2 years every time I try to create a collage it closes out before I am done. I reopen and have to start all over. I haven’t been able to complete a collage on this app in over 2 years. I keep it hoping the company will fix the problem as I loved this app so much when it was working. I want so bad for it to work again. Please fix! This app was my favorite and would use it everyday if it worked again. Would also rate 5/5 if you get it working again.
Edit: have moved rating from 3/5 down to 1/5 bc Instagram refuses to do anything about the MULTIPLE complaints regarding this app. You had a huge following and you are just letting everyone down by not fixing this issue!

then and now
I use Layout for ‘before and after’ photos, or showing the seasons changing in the life of a tree. This is just for my personal photo albums, I don’t get involved much in social media posting. Since the photos I want to group are taken with usually months between shots, it’s really great to put them together in one photo. No flipping thru my camera roll to find the individual shots.
The app is very easy to use, easy to adjust your pix to fit their option you like best. I like that the developers haven’t tried to make it more than what it is: an easy way to lay out your pix how you want them.
I definately recomend.

Back and working smooth
I downloaded layout in 2019 and it quickly became my go-to app for quick collage making for Instagram and other social media platforms. It worked great until a year or two ago when it starting glitching out and closing on opening. I thought it was dead until the other day when I saw some of the other review comments. It’s working smooth again and as I used it before, it’s great for making quick picture collages without overkill on menus, navigation, and things that slow some similar apps down. Plus it’s integration with Instagram (and Facebook) makes sharing smooth and efficient! You can also use some other sharing options and/or save to your phone camera to share on other socials, text friends, or email. 4 stars easy! I’d give it 5 stars if it didn’t die for that extended time but when it was working and if it stays working, it’s usefulness is 5/5.
