User-friendly templates. Can get a lot of work done quickly here. ### 5/5 — Much better than other options *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* This app not only provides access to a massive library of images and vectors; you can also really get down to searching what you actually need with the amazing sorting features and filters. This is really great and I think the only improvement to be made is loading speed. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly broad variety. Easy to use. *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* So many photo services leave so much to be desired. This one doesn't. I look for difficult to picture subjects as my test. This service surprised me by coming up a bunch of relevant images for the keyword "Walker", not the activity but the device people with disabilities use for assistance. Really impressive results. Export is easy and they provide a lot of formats for all the major platforms. Well-done! ### 5/5 — Quick photo search *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* Quickly found stock photos for whatever I searched. Nice resize/reformat capabilities too! ### 5/5 — Large selection of images *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* They have a great selection of images that you can easily resize to various social media sizes and save you your phone for posting. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* Love how simple it is to access all of Yay Images on my phone. It’s a quick process and I didn’t have any issues like I do with other apps that I have used. ### 5/5 — Beautiful pictures *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* Lovely pictures very detailed well worth the cost and easy to use ### 5/5 — Lots of potential *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* Slick layout,east-to-use search function, a good array of image options. Overall it’s a very promising app and I think that with continued updates and a consistent flow of new images, it has the potential for growth. ### 5/5 — Nice tool! *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* We use photos everywhere: videos, websites, social media etc. This app allows quick access to images along with ability to edit as needed. thanks. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* The idea is unique. I love the app! I will use it daily to improve my content marketing strategy. ### 5/5 — Nice selection *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* The selection of photos make it easy to make memes or post to social media. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not ready for Primetime *2020-08-09, version 1.2.1* Basic functionality. Subscription offers no new features. ### 2/5 — Caveat emptor: From 4 stars to 2 *2020-07-29, version 1.2.1* I recently wrote a 4-star review for this app in response to an offer from the developer for a lifetime code if I was one of the first 50 reviewers for this new app. I quickly downloaded the app, spent a few moments with it and gave the app 4 stars, suggesting room for improvement in its search filter. I saw many other other glowing 5-star reviews in the same time period. Three days later I reached out and asked about the lifetime code and received a terse reply: “Only 4 stars?” with a frown face. I replied that I presumed they wanted an honest assessment. Now a couple days later, I never have received that code. This isn’t a terrible app, but please be aware that all the recent 5-star reviews are folks like me, incentivized to offer positive reviews as quickly as possible without living with the app for more than a few hours at best. If the only reviews the developer accepts are essentially “paid for” in a kind of “code contest”, you should be aware that your mileage may vary and this developer is a tad shady. The app is not as good as these early reviews will suggest. Beware. ### 3/5 — Good start *2020-07-28, version 1.2.1* Feels like a new app that is trying to figure out a direction. Collage templates limited and not totally intuitive. Can not adjust or enter text In the text boxes. Image collection is huge but duplicative so filtering out the duplicate and filtering down the search results needs to be added. If you can get royalty free images for $99 / year though, it’s not too bad. Terms and conditions page throws a 404 Error. Terms of service indicates that yay images won’t be responsible if they happen to be wrong about copyright-so, that might be sort of a show stopper for anyone attempting to use these images professionally. ### 4/5 — Great source of image options and layouts *2020-07-27, version 1.2.1* So easy to find what you need right from your iPhone. Lots of great image and layout options! So much quicker than searching the web trying to get the right image. ### 4/5 — PhotoBG *2020-07-27, version 1.2.1* Easy to use but could do with some improvements like more templates choices, ability to add text to images and more images to preview as current version shows repeated images when scrolling. ### 4/5 — Broad Variety *2020-07-26, version 1.2.1* The app makes finding images convenient when designing a project. I’m glad they include a variety of subjects for both photos and vectors. ### 4/5 — Good start *2020-07-26, version 1.2.1* I appreciate that the app provides images for free, and can download directly to your photos albums. I would like to see the layouts function work more in the future. ### 4/5 — Lots of potential *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* I think this app has lots of potential but there is still a lot of work to do. For instance, I would love being able to post directly to social networks. ### 4/5 — So far looks good with one issue *2020-07-25, version 1.2.1* Seems to have a good selection of photos, but when searching, there are blank sections where it looks like there should be a photo. ### 5/5 — Get this! *2020-07-30, version 1.2.1* I’ve used their desktop option and looove it. They make it so quick and easy to find top-quality images. Their variety of images is incredible too! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tons of photos and Easy to Use *2020-07-27, version 1.2.1* A quick search of the photos in the app brings up everything you need to have great images that you can download quickly to your phone to use in whatever application your looking for and the reformat option is a great touch. It just makes me want to say”Yay!” ### 5/5 — Simple and fun app *2020-07-26, version 1.2.1* The application is very friendly easy to use.A personal favorite feature is a variety of beautiful images ready to use for my needs. This app is going be amazing to improve my future work. ### 5/5 — Impressive range of Art and Photos. *2020-07-26, version 1.2.1* I have used many services for art and photos. In most case when I type in Reiik, I get limited amount of designs. No so,with this app. I get drawings,pictures and diagrams. Speed is quick as well! ### 5/5 — Lots of great images *2020-07-26, version 1.2.1* I am surprised how many results I get for each search term I’ve used and how they all seem to be high quality. ### 5/5 — User friendly & great selection *2020-07-26, version 1.2.1* As a collage artist, I’m always looking for different types of stock to use in my work- very easy search capability & beautiful selection of photos. ### 5/5 — Stock photos for any social platform *2020-07-26, version 1.2.1* The best part of this app is how it automatically resizes your stock image for any social platform with the click of a button. Templates section could use more options and simpler implementation but the main feature is pretty great. ### 5/5 — Fabulous photo collection *2020-07-26, version 1.2.1* I found everything I searched for! Extensive collection of royalty free photo that easily sized and added to simple templates.
