We have fixed the issues some cases. ### 1/5 — To bar does not appear when using a photo. Great ads though. *2025-07-07* Couldn’t do a simple photo markup with this app. The tool bar would not appear in photo mode. Crazy **Developer response:** Dear User, We are pleased to inform you that all reported issues have been resolved. Additionally, advertisements that were causing navigation problems have been removed. You may now review the updated version, in which these ads will no longer be displayed. Thank you for your patience and continued support. ### 1/5 — Confusing and ads *2024-11-10* This would accomplish everything I need, but could not locate photo after saved and could not get out of the ads without closing the app completely and restarting. I was going to go pro, but the initial test and with around 100+ photos to work on … forget it! At least give people a few photos for a free trial before throwing in the ads and such. I don’t have time for games. **Developer response:** Dear User, We are pleased to inform you that all reported issues have been resolved. Additionally, advertisements that were causing navigation problems have been removed. You may now review the updated version, in which these ads will no longer be displayed. Thank you for your patience and continued support. ### 1/5 — Missing things *2024-07-19* It’s okay for the most basic, but really need to have the ability to add lines, change them from solid to dotted, add ends (arrowhead, dots), make squares (with outside lines and inside fill that can be changed for transparency), circles, etc. My search for a iOS program that can do what TechSmith Snagit does on an iPad continues. ### 1/5 — So Unintuitive *2024-02-23* It opens with a plane white windo with no indication of how to paste or uplaod an image. Honestly I thought there was a load error. Nope, it opened that way three times in a row. ### 1/5 — Does not save. Save button is a link to ads🙁 *2024-02-23* Doesn’t save. Save button links to ads🙁 **Developer response:** Dear User, We are pleased to inform you that all reported issues have been resolved.

This is nothing but a time-consuming exercise in being FORCED to look at OTHER APPS you are trying to sell. It takes too much time to mark up a photo because you are given no choice but to be highjacked by advertisements right smack in the middle of what you’re trying to do. Where is your dignity? Enough of my time wasted. **Developer response:** Dear User, We are pleased to inform you that all reported issues have been resolved. Additionally, advertisements that were causing navigation problems have been removed. You may now review the updated version, in which these ads will no longer be displayed. Thank you for your patience and continued support. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save *2023-06-02* Full of ad crap and doesn’t save. Not worth downloading…. **Developer response:** Once the ad is completed images are automatically saved. Can you please send us more information at support@appculus.com? We will help you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — i markup *2024-01-04* This app is amazing is specially because I have adventures that I am on currently and there’s one extra people in the background of my photos and I’m also trying to make tick-tock’s with these and they’re just people everywhere and I just want it to be me and whoever I’m with and I mark up completely did that for me it’s free it’s amazing you can draw you can write you can crop you can lighten and you can brighten and it’ll look amazing. **Developer response:** Hi Brooklyn Jordan! 🦋⭐️🍄🌈🌸💗 Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the app on Jan 5, 2024!

I will be buying this app soon. It combines a lot of functionalities that are really useful. **Developer response:** We have the in-app purchase option on the top navigation bar. It one-time purchase for a lifetime. ### 5/5 — Scammers *2023-04-17* Scam app. They first sell the app for money now they ask for premium payment by month.. Scammers **Developer response:** Dear Users, We are not Scammers. This is app is completely free. We are not having monthly payments. We have one-time payments for a lifetime and that removes the ads. We have some ads in the app for running this free and adding more features.

I don’t mind watching the ad for a minute or so, but having to keep playing around trying to make it go away so I can save my project is very frustrating, I will give you a five if you can just tell me how to do this will come back and give it a one if no response **Developer response:** Dear User, We are pleased to inform you that all reported issues have been resolved. Additionally, advertisements that were causing navigation problems have been removed. You may now review the updated version, in which these ads will no longer be displayed.

I have looked all over the place trying to upgrade or something so I don’t have to deal with that but I can’t even find where to do that.! so I guess I uninstall it. I look for a program that I can buy, that doesn’t have all that. There is no support to email. There’s nobody to ask if you can buy it so you don’t have to endure those horrific ads every time you wanna say something. **Developer response:** Dear User, We are pleased to inform you that all reported issues have been resolved. Additionally, advertisements that were causing navigation problems have been removed. You may now review the updated version, in which these ads will no longer be displayed.

Add Stitch Photo and it is all there with lesser clutter and less frustration. Markup doesn't have “zoom with loupe” or the tool for enhancement of a particular area but it's easy to get the same results. Stitch Photo is the easiest and most versatile photo stiitcher I've found so you’ll probably prefer it over any other. **Developer response:** 🌟 Thank you for your feedback, PhelineCat! We appreciate your insights on the iOS markup feature and how it compares to our app's "zoom with loop" feature. 📱 While iOS markup does offer many similar functionalities, such as basic markup tools without photo stitching capabilities, our app aims to provide additional tools and enhancements for users looking for more advanced editing options. The "zoom with loop" feature, in particular, allows users to focus on and enhance specific areas of their images with precision, which may not be readily available in standard markup tools. Our app indeed includes this feature, so please give it another try. Simply tap on the ✏️ Draw tool, and you'll find the "zoom with loop" feature as the second option. We ensure that all the features we mention are available within the app for users to explore. 🔄 We understand that preferences vary, and we're glad to hear that you find Stitch Photo to be the easiest and most versatile photo stitcher. We'll continue to improve our app based on user feedback to ensure a seamless and enjoyable editing experience. 🙏 Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts! ### 3/5 — Love this app but DANG the ads! *2024-02-07* Look, I love this app I love everything it does except the ad when you want to save a photo or so long and drawn out and so many of them and you have to wait and you have to wait and you have to wait and then you have to wait some more. I have looked all over the place trying to upgrade or something so I don’t have to deal with that but I can’t even find where to do that.! so I guess I uninstall it. I look for a program that I can buy, that doesn’t have all that. **Developer response:** We have the setting and top navigation bar icons to purchase the ad free version. Please try that. ### 3/5 — Resolution of the texts and markup tools (drawn lines or arrow etc.)… *2023-03-27* Resolution of the texts and markup tools (drawn lines or arrows etc.) do not appear good (not sharp enough after zooming a little bit). Otherwise, this product is solid. My Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS) Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. (Definitely) With Kindest Regards!! **Developer response:** Hello there! Thank you for your valuable feedback. We appreciate your input regarding the resolution of texts and markup tools, and we're sorry for any inconvenience. We'll definitely look into improving this aspect, especially for devices like your iPhone 14 Pro Max. Your dedication to updating your review and rating is truly appreciated, and we're committed to making our product even better. If you have any more insights or suggestions, please feel free to share. With kindest regards! 😊 ### 2/5 — Нет масштаба инструментов. *2026-06-10* Стрелки огромные, нет возможности сделать их маленькими или тонкими **Developer response:** We are having the thickness option for every object that you are going to try, you can change the thickness, colour and transparency for every object. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
