### 3/5 — People

*2026-08-09*

When u get on it you start to think that this is great but you have to pay with a lot of things so you can get some backgrounds or whatever but u have to pay for a lot of things so don’t make that mistake

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concern about premium content, but we’d like to clarify that the app can be used without paying.

Many features and items are available for free, including the content that was previously free. Premium content is clearly marked and is optional. We need premium features to help support the continued development and maintenance of the app, while keeping a useful free version available.

We’re sorry if this wasn’t clear during your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

### 2/5 — Not a good app

*2026-02-08, version 2.12.05*

When doing a collage even if you have each square filled it won’t allow a download since it says one is missing

### 1/5 — Now almost useless

*2025-01-01, version 2.9.10*

This used to be a great app,
But now it’s so clogged up with adverts etc that it’s basically useless.

### 1/5 — Have to purchase

*2024-12-10, version 2.9.10*

If you don’t spend the money, this app is trash and will crash over and over when you choose not to purchase upon opening the app.

### 1/5 — Lifetime Access??

*2024-11-29*

I thought I'd give this a try during what is (was?) a free lifetime thing.  What I found out was that even though I went through the entire onboarding (selected lifetime, too), the app keeps prompting me to "try it" and cancel anytime.  The only thing is the "lifetime" option was no longer there (it was when I did the onboarding).  There are no supposed subscriptions for this under my Apple ID so clearly I can't figure out what my status truly is.  Over it.  Wiping it out.

**Developer response:** Hello Carrie640, 

Thank you for your feedback. It seems there may have been some confusion or a technical issue during the onboarding process. Here are a few points to clarify:  

1. Lifetime Access: Once you select and successfully claim the lifetime option, it should activate immediately, and the lifetime option will no longer appear on the payment page.  
2. Subscription Status: If you don’t see any subscriptions under your Apple ID, it means lifetime access is not a subscription, it is a non consumeable in app purchase.  You can try restoring your purchase within the app to ensure that it’s synced.  
3. Troubleshooting: If the app is still prompting you to "try it" and showing subscription options, it may be a sync issue with Apple’s servers. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app or using the "Restore Purchases" option in the settings can often resolve this.  

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. If the issue persists, please reach out to us at **greenbox.developer@gmail.com** so we can investigate and assist further.  

Thank you for giving us a try, and we’d love the opportunity to make things right!

### 1/5 — Stupid annoying pop ups.

*2024-11-29, version 2.6.8*

Instant delete.

### 2/5 — Functionality is good, but app seems scammy

*2024-11-29*

Even if you have the lifetime option enable, this app tries to make you sign up for other weekly subscriptions galore. 

The functionality is good, probably better than others, but this aspect makes it annoying to use.

**Developer response:** Hello Cynical Commentator,

Thank you for your feedback! We want to clarify that if you’ve already claimed the lifetime option, there is no need to subscribe to any weekly or other plans. Once the lifetime purchase is successfully activated, the lifetime option disappears from the payment page, and you don’t need to access the subscription page again.  

If you’re still seeing subscription options after claiming lifetime access, there might be a technical issue. Please contact us at **greenbox.developer@gmail.com** with details so we can assist you promptly.  

We value your experience and will ensure any issues are resolved quickly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

### 2/5 — Huge issues

*2024-11-28, version 2.6.8*

- restore purchase does not work 
I- n app Feedback does not work

### 1/5 — Perversion with ads

*2024-11-28, version 2.6.8*

I don’t understand why the lifetime membership has ads banners in the app

### 1/5 — Worst photo collage app ever

*2024-11-05*

This app is so loaded with ads for other apps it’s impossible to use. Even if you try to close the ads they just immediately re appear. I know they have to bar ads to make money and boost their profits but this app is ridiculous. Don’t waste your time with this app when there are so many other options.

**Developer response:** Dear bobking3961,

Thank you for your feedback! We apologize for any frustration caused by the ads. Our ads are indeed capped on the server side to limit the frequency, and full-screen ads are set to show only twice every 5 hours. However, if app tracking consent is denied, we’re unable to track ad interactions for specific users, which may result in more ads appearing, as the system can’t log when an ad has been shown. Today, we introduced ad capping to limit ads on a daily basis based on your feedback. All you need to know is that by providing tracking consent, we can determine how many advertisements are displayed to a specific user.

We’re continuously working on improving the ad experience while supporting the app’s development. Your understanding is appreciated, and we hope this clears things up. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Best regards,
Customer Support

### 3/5 — Nice App

*2024-08-16*

But too many interruptions with advertising!
So no longer a quick app to use, 🤔 Also since the upgrade finding using the text difficult to get out off.. where is the finish/leave button? Otherwise it’s a nice App

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you find the app nice overall.

Regarding the text editor, the finish and leave buttons are inside the text editor, represented by an "X" to cancel and a checkmark to confirm, one located on the right side and another on the left side.

As for the advertisements, we understand they can be interruptive, but they are essential to keep the app free and support its development. We appreciate your understanding and are always working to balance the user experience with app sustainability.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out!

Best regards,  
Customer Support, Photo Collage Maker

Update: As for the advertisements, we understand they can be interruptive, but they are essential to keep the app free and support its development. If a user has not acknowledged tracking consent, it becomes impossible to track which users are requesting ads from our servers. Our ads are capped on the server side daily, so users should not have to watch an ad during every app page transition. However, when consent is denied, users may experience more frequent ad interruptions. We apologize for this inconvenience, and we encourage allowing tracking consent to ensure you only see limited ads.

### 1/5 — Kosten

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2025-06-23*

The photo app works but the photos copy very distorted in the collage after it’s saved.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you for letting me know about this! I completely understand how disappointing it is to have your photos look perfect in the editor, only to turn out blurry or distorted once you save the final collage.
That distortion was happening because the app was applying too much compression during the final save process to keep the file size small.
To fix this, we have officially added an HD Save feature in our latest update! Here is how you can use it to get perfectly crisp results:
1. Open your collage and tap the Hd Save / icon.
2. Look for the new file type Settings toggle or dropdown on the setting screen.
3. Select png (High Definition) or
This will ensure your photos keep their original sharpness and detail without any distortion.
Please give the HD save a try and let me know if it solves the issue for you! If you're happy with the crisp new quality, we’d be so grateful if you would consider updating your review rating.
Best regards,

### 1/5 — :(

*2025-04-05, version 2.10.02*

I used to love this app for before & after pics but now it never loads, it’s a never ending add.

### 1/5 — refund my money asap please

*2025-04-05, version 2.10.02*

refund my money asap please

### 1/5 — Not free

*2025-03-16*

There isn’t a free option. If you don’t subscribe then when you open it you get a never ending pop-up screen asking you repeatedly if you really don’t want to subscribe so that you can’t actually use it.

**Developer response:** This is a known bug that has affected only a small number of free users. Please uninstall and reinstall the app—it should resolve the issue. We take this matter very seriously and appreciate your patience.

Additionally, we are actively working on an update to fix this bug permanently. Please follow up with us at greenbox.developer@gmail.com if you experience any further issues.

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2025-03-13, version 2.10.01*

Use to be free to use this app now very expensive

### 1/5 — Masalah advertising

*2025-03-08, version 2.10.01*

Balik2 suruh melanggan. Bodoh punya apps

### 1/5 — Adware pos

*2025-02-22*

Impossible to evaluate as it hits you with unskippable ads nonstop when you open it.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience. We couldn’t find any such issue in our testing, as our ads are server-capped and should not appear nonstop. Could you please contact us at greenbox.developer@gmail.com so we can assist you further?

Also, in the latest update, we introduced a Reduce Interruption button to minimize pop-ups during app launch. You can find it by pressing the upper left button on the home screen and toggling the switch named Reduce Interruption.

Please update to the latest version and let us know if the issue persists!

### 1/5 — Do not use this App

*2025-02-12*

This app used to be easy to use and useful. Now, a pop up will continuously block your ability to use it unless you pay for the subscription.. making it useless if you are trying to find a free app. The developer will tell you that you can exit out, but that is not true. Once you close the ad it persistently pops back up, preventing you from any form of functionality.

**Developer response:** This issue was caused by a glitch in an earlier version, which has already been fixed in the latest update. Could you please check which app version you are using?

In the latest version, we have also introduced a Reduce Interruption button to prevent the offer screen from appearing during app launch. You can find this option by pressing the upper left button on the home screen and toggling the switch named Reduce Interruption.

Please update to the latest version for a smoother experience!

### 1/5 — Sangat buruk

*2025-01-26, version 2.10.01*

### 1/5 — Very slow and low functional collage maker!

*2025-01-11, version 2.9.10*

I need to make 16 photos collages..

Do you really think i need to pick every photo separately and adjust sizes?..

Better pick all needed photos and resize freely inside collage! 

Deserved 1 star! Terrible app

### 5/5 — One star reviews are misleading.

*2024-01-21*

I've been using this photo collage maker app for a while now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The app claims to be free, and it truly is – I've been able to create unlimited collages without any payment required. The ads in the free version are minimal, making the user experience quite enjoyable.

What sets this app apart is its reasonable pricing for additional features. Unlike other apps that might be extortionate, this one offers a lifetime package that's affordable.

I've noticed some one-star reviews mentioning payment issues, but from my experience, it seems these users are quick to rate any app poorly just by viewing the payment page. Don't let those misleading reviews discourage you – this app is genuinely worth downloading!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your detailed and positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you've been thoroughly impressed with our photo collage maker app and that you've had a positive experience creating collages. We're committed to providing a genuinely free experience with reasonable pricing for additional features, and we're glad you find the lifetime package affordable.

We appreciate your understanding regarding some misleading reviews, and we encourage users to explore the app's functionality before forming opinions based solely on the payment page. Your support and feedback mean a lot to us, and we're delighted to have you as a satisfied user.

If you ever have further feedback or suggestions, please feel free to share. We're here to make your experience even better. One thing to mention that we are working for more exciting features like auto collage, collage background and templates.

Thanks again for your kind words and for choosing our app!

Best regards,
App Team

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2024-01-07*

This is everything I need 👍🏽

**Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear that our app has everything you need! 👍🏽 If you ever have any questions, suggestions, or if there's anything specific you'd like to see in future updates, feel free to let us know. We're here to make your experience even better. Thank you for your positive feedback!
