Really, app developers, you should know: trials should be full-featured for a limited time. That’s the only way we can really tell if your app suits our needs. ### 1/5 — Won't start *2016-07-02* Crashes immediately. I'm running it on iPad Air 2, 9.3.2. ## Frequently asked questions about Mosaic ### Does Galleryr have ads? Galleryr does not contain advertisements in its free version.
