### 3/5 — Funzionava bene ma...

*2019-10-02, version 4.3*

Funzionava bene ma ha cominciato a crashare troppo. A volte la rende inutilizzabile.
Inoltre riduce troppo la qualità della foto

### 1/5 — Poor. Watermark is far better

*2019-05-28, version 4.3*

Hugely overly complicated. Tutorials and help non existent and it seems hugely antiquated.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-05-20, version 4.3*

Works perfectly until the most recent upgrade. Now it's all bugs. Doesn't sense the screen tap to start typing your watermark and if you're lucky enough to get it to respond after 40 furious taps it will never go back to the photo again. Utterly useless as is.

### 1/5 — Ужас.

*2019-05-08, version 4.3*

Бесплатное приложение работает, а платное тупо висит. Это как вобще?!

### 2/5 — Incredibly difficult to use

*2019-03-26, version 4.3*

Great idea, overly complicated.

### 1/5 — Love the App, Hate the bugs

*2019-03-18, version 4.3*

At the moment (March 2019) this app is unusable on my XS Max.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-03-12, version 4.3*

I can’t close any buttons.   Impossible to use.

### 1/5 — No cumple lo que promete

*2019-02-28, version 4.3*

No es intuitiva, no cumple lo que promete, queria realizar una plantilla de 3 renglones, se debían mostrar las coordenadas de la foto, mis peores 39 pesos gastados en la AppStore

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work...

*2019-02-23, version 4.3*

Don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2019-02-20, version 4.3*

Sorry but the amount of glitches this app has does not make it compatible with iPhone XS Max. Either fix the app or I’d like a refund....

### 3/5 — I really want to give a better review.

*2019-02-13, version 4.3*

I ya e. Erm a user of this app since it was first released, I bought the full version as soon as possible. It was simply the very best watermark / image overlay app out there. But the last few updates have become very buggy. 

I use iPhone XS and it’s unusable

### 2/5 — Too many bugs

*2019-01-31, version 4.3*

I have never written a app review, but this one is just awful. There are so many bugs it is basically unusable. Definitely a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Não consigo usar a câmera no próprio aplicativo

*2019-01-31*

Erro ao acessar a câmera no aplicativo

### 1/5 — Onhandig en traag

*2019-01-27, version 4.2*

Een jaar lang goed gebruin gemaakt van deze app en plots werkte ‘save to cameroll’ niet meer. Zeer frustrerend!

### 1/5 — 👎

*2019-01-07, version 4.2*

Good idea but too many bugs. I just want to add a simple watermark to my photos and save back to my camera roll. It has the option but doesn’t work

### 1/5 — So many issues

*2019-01-05, version 4.2*

Default text watermark can’t be deleted (must be hidden). Ok, no problem. Can’t save to camera roll. It says it can, but the photo never shows up. Which means I have to screenshot and crop my watermarked photo. Not what I expect from a paid app. 
Contacted the company about this issue, but it’s been almost 2 weeks and no response.

### 1/5 — Not video

*2018-10-25, version 4.2*

Can’t put photo and video when it’s strictly only photos. Lies

### 1/5 — This App Has Died an Awful Death

*2023-12-04, version 4.3*

This is a perfect example of what happens when an app developer loses interest and leaves an app to die a slow death, apps needs attention and this is obviously not an app that is getting any.  Not worth wasting your time or money on this useless app, it’s sad, since it did use to be pretty good.

### 1/5 — Not worthy of a single star

*2022-03-26, version 4.3*

Impossible to use and glitchy - DO NOT BUY.

### 1/5 — Purchased and doesn’t work!

*2020-09-08, version 4.3*

Don’t buy it! I purchased this app. Worked at first, now When I “tap here” to change to a copyright name that I want to add. Nothing change or work. No where to contact to fix this or refund. Ripped off. Not happy.

### 1/5 — Masakra

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-01-23, version 4.3*

Constant crashes. Waste of money

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!!!

*2019-11-23, version 4.3*

You have to act like your going to load a pic to back out of tabs when editing anything and hit cancel just to get out of it HORRIBLE!!!    

I’m trying to put my logo on my pictures, it tells you to “tap here” ......DID THAT AND NOTHING HAPPENS!!!!😤.    I tried reinstalling the app....NOPE!!
I tried tapping in different places on “tap here”.....NOPE!!!  And I’m a technical and patient person did that work........NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT BUY!!!!

### 5/5 — Make it harder for internet thieves

*2021-05-11, version 4.3*

I like that I can embed my copyright information into the shot’s data. I also like that I can change the font and color of the text to match the photo. Thanks very much for creating this app!

### 5/5 — Brilliant! Must have for sharing images online.

*2019-10-19, version 4.3*

The best watermark app I’ve found. 

For sharing images online, FB, IG etc this is a perfect, easy to use, but brilliant app. 
Many choices of colours, opacity, position, fonts, size etc ..
Given that images uploaded to multi media are not full res, the fact that apparently it doesn’t save at full res simply doesn’t matter.
 
(If you want watermarks for full res images use your editing program.)

### 5/5 — Takes getting used to but so easy - one of my top used apps now

*2018-04-29, version 4.2*

I used to add a watermark to the photos I post using an image editing program but it was always a hassle because the focus of those apps was more on filters than adding text. Not to mention the available fonts were extremely limited. I looked online and this program came up as the highest recommended watermarking tool. It took getting used to. I didn’t understand to remove the keyboard I merely had to tap on the screen once. I feel silly to not realize that now. But the smooth minimizing and maximizing of font size, the ease of alignment of the caption, and the colors and fonts available are just a few of the reasons this is now my go-to app. Best part is I can save my watermark and with a simple tap of the screen I can very quickly upload a photo, add a watermark, save, post and that’s it. The image editors always made it this lumbering hassle. The most important feature is there background unseen info we can add like copyright, date of photo, etc. This really should be a staple for anyone posting original art or photography online and wanting that added protection. - My only wish is for the fonts to be available with a border/edge option. For example: if the photo is white, I want to add a white colored font, but then the watermark would blend into the photo, but having an edge of a gray would make the watermark clearer. It’s hard to explain. I know I can add a border to the entire photo but sometimes I want the watermark within the image so no one can crop it. This is still a fantastic app. I hope more people catch on to use a program like this for the images they post on their social media. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2016-10-01, version 4.2*

I had a problem with .png's losing their transparency but it was an iOS issue not an app issue. App works as advertised.

### 5/5 — Oh No.

*2016-03-22*

It's not working with the newest iOS. 😱 Love the App.

### 5/5 — FANTASTICA

*2015-04-03, version 4.2*

Incredibile facile da usare e permette di modificare foto con un solo tocco dello schermo

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-03-30, version 4.2*

The app will crash only if managing big files and chosing options too quickly: when saving the photo simply wait a couple of seconds before tapping the "save image on album" option, or it will crash.
Really helpful app.

### 5/5 — A+

*2015-03-28, version 4.2*

Great app with lots of features. I'll use this often.

Thank you.

### 5/5 — This app rocks!

*2015-03-27, version 4.2*

It's so easy to add text captions or hidden copyright information to a photo! Great app!

I like that you can also view the EXIF data and modify it, if necessary.

### 5/5 — Request a Save option to make changes

*2014-10-25, version 4.0*

I like this app. It's easy to use, and I enjoy all the different font choices, and ability to set the text as justified left, center, right among the many other type options. I also like the ability to set the metadata. 
One thing I would really love to see added is the option to edit a photograph with added text after it has been saved and no longer in the editing panel. Once in awhile I find a typo I made or need to adjust font size, etc. As it is now, I have to go back and recreate it from scratch. Please consider adding this feature. 
Overall, the best watermarking app out there.
