I’ve had this a long time so I tried it again today (along with many other apps). I’m not a "this is the only app I need" kind of person but if something is a rental _and_ single purpose I expect the rent to be reasonable (it seems to come & go) and to do it’s one job fabulously. It’s not. ### 2/5 — Export Quality *2021-03-02, version 2.7.1* The image never saves as bright as it’s pictured in the app ### 2/5 — んー *2020-09-16* これ文字の大きさ変えれたりしないの？ オシャレではあるんだけど、他の人のレビューもこわいしなぁ、、 ### 2/5 — Not user friendly; very limited options; not consistent *2020-05-31, version 2.7* It only gave 3 options and I couldn’t find my favorite one the second time. Very limited functions. I need to find another app. ### 3/5 — 5* if you charge a flat Amount, and offer shape changing features *2020-05-25, version 2.7* Good app. Don’t need to use Vector apps to put image inside “containers”. But too expensive for this “free” country ### 3/5 — Выкидывает *2019-08-15* Приложение крутое, но часто стало выкидывать. Не успеваешь доделать как все скинулось и закрылось ### 2/5 — Limitations, Unrealistic Expectations *2019-05-30, version 2.7* Limitations...Only does square output, will not operate in landscape mode even on an iPad. Unrealistic Expectations...That people will want a monthly/yearly “subscription” for a basic pic frame/mask app ### 3/5 — Updated & lost my fave app *2019-04-12, version 2.7* I used to give this app 5 stars. I have been building my business brand with the awesome frames. I updated the app last night and went to use it just now and they’ve made all except two of the frames locked for premium users, which I assume is paid. I hit it to see how much it would cost, because I don’t mind paying for apps, and it just asked me to confirm that I wanted to remove the locks. I’m very disappointed that my favorite frames are now premium on an app I’ve been using forever. But hey, it’s all business right? Maybe I will research to see how much it is to upgrade but for now I will be uninstalling 😢 Update:ok it’s only 9.99 a year and that’s not bad because I pay pay waaaay more than that for other apps and I do see a couple new features that I like. I will change my rating from a 2 to a 3 because I’m still in my feelings that it’s not free lol ### 1/5 — 9.99 / year 🤔 *2019-03-27, version 2.7* This app’s best features are 1) expanding photos by mirroring them it in all directions so u don’t have to cut off any of the original. 2) 2-3 simple Minimal borders (the majority are useless and unnecessary shapes that are intrusive and distracting or make it impossible to view the photo) 3) being able to change the texture and color of the border (it even allowed you to use the photo being framed or any other photo as a basis for the frame’s texture, which was very useful) I love these features and enjoys using the app- but I’m not paying 9.99 / year for a majority of styles and features I do not use. Why can’t I just buy a one time purchase of the borders I enjoy and find useful like it describes in the “in-app purchases” section? I would be happy to pay $1 for each pack of borders. ### 1/5 — Duplicar la foto *2019-02-24, version 2.7* Porque la imagen se duplica por sí sola ? No debería pasar ### 1/5 — 有料 *2019-01-29* いままで頼りにしてたのに、、、 有料化するなんてひどい、金儲けのためだろ。もう終わりだな、アプリ消します。 ### 1/5 — リストアできない *2019-01-25* しかも無料で使えたはずのものも使えなくなってるし、リストア押しても何も変わらない。以前お金払ったのにおかしくないですか？なんでこんな意地悪するの。 ### 1/5 — 有料版使っていたのに使えなくなった *2019-01-20* 700円くらい払って有料版フレーム使っていたのに、急に使えなくなってまた課金しろと出てきた。お金返してほしい。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 구독해지및환불요청 *2023-02-16* 사용 하지 않는 어플입니다 갑자기 결재가 되어사 😭황당 구독 해지 및 환불 요청 부탁드립니다 ### 1/5 — Don’t know what happened *2022-11-01, version 2.7.1* Loved this app. now it makes all my photos blurry. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Arnaque *2020-11-01* Je l’ai téléchargé via une pub sur insta. Ça a durée 5 sec. Je l’ai supprimé car tout était payant. Mtn je me rend compte que tout les mois ce fichu truc me prend 5€43 et refuse d’annuler mon abonnement jusqu’en août 2021 !!! Inadmissible ### 1/5 — 勝手に課金された *2020-08-12* 久しぶりに開いてみたら勝手に有料化に同意したことになった！信じらんない！最悪！ ### 1/5 — 勝手に課金 *2020-07-31* 勝手に課金させられた…… しかも1年間のやつ…… 最低。 最初は無料で使えて好きだったけど これは酷すぎる お金返せ ### 1/5 — Pas pratique, 0 explications. *2020-06-02* Impossible d’enlever l’effet miroir, si quelqu’un peu me dire comment on fait svp. ### 1/5 — Kostenlos? *2019-12-05* Gestern kaufte ich die kostenlose Testversion. Draufgeklickt, und 10 Sekunden später die Nachricht von Paypal, dass das Geld bereits von meinem PaypalKonto abgezogen wurde. Hab Käuferschutz von Paypal informiert...keine Reaktion. Sowas darf einfach nicht passieren. Ich habe noch nicht mal eine Kaufbestätigung bekommen. Also: meldet euch! ### 1/5 — Жалоба *2019-11-23* Сняли деньги с карты, как только подключила ее к Apple ID, а приложения этого у меня не было!!! Деньги верните ! ### 1/5 — 高すぎる *2019-07-07* 急に有料化になって、使えるフレームが限られて使い物にならない。 以前は一番使いやすいアプリだと思っていたのに。 課金額も高いし、期間も限られてるし、課金するほどの内容ではない。 無料化してください。 ### 1/5 — CASH GRAB ! *2019-05-08, version 2.7* This app, along with some others from different developers, is now trying to charge astronomical amounts to use the app for one month etc. It's bloody ridiculous! I used to like this app, now I would like to thank the developer for helping me to free up some space on my device ! DELETED ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 使いやすい😊 *2020-12-27* 使いやすいです😊 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-03-12, version 2.7* Amazing app ### 5/5 — Súper *2019-12-04, version 2.7* Es genial 🤩 ### 5/5 — 最高 *2019-12-01* めちゃくちゃ最高 ### 5/5 — Крутое приложение *2019-08-29* Зэ Бэст!!! ### 5/5 — one time purchase *2019-04-14, version 2.7* I just foung this app and it looks super awesome but please add a new subscription one time purchase! 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Fotos *2019-02-06, version 2.7* No me gusta que duplique las fotos cuando se carga para los bordes. Debería de dar opciones ### 5/5 — Parfait! *2018-12-30* J’aime beaucoup cette application, je m’en sers notamment pour faire un joli feed Instagram et c’est une réussite! Je précise que j’ai pris l’option payante! ### 5/5 — 有料の件 *2018-11-21* 使えてた枠が、 急に有料になって困ります。 無料でも可愛い枠追加して下さい。 ### 5/5 — Recomendo *2018-11-20* Muito bom!
