### 1/5 — Useless and extort I've

*2024-12-20*

Maybe I'm cheap, but maybe not. Basic functionality like being able to save your work is missing from the free version of this app. Also, bad interface design, and slow responsiveness make this app largely useless. -

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-06-24*

Can’t work free app. Why purchase go pro?

### 1/5 — Really pathetic app. I want a refund.

*2021-03-28*

Not able to save photos and photos are getting bulrred . Waste of money. Don’t install

**Developer response:** App only crops the photo. It does not scale down or lower the resolution or quality of the cropped photos.
Often if your source image is of lower resolution or you crop the image too much, it will result in low quality split image. 
Please try a higher resolution image to see the results.
