Wish I could paste from the buffer is all I would add. ### 4/5 — Great fun with good results *2024-06-18, version 2.22* I have been using a much earlier version of this app for many years and have loved using it for a number of projects. I have just bought the new version and it gives some more options but I would really like to see the option to ‘undo last change’. It would be great if the colour options had numbers or memory of last used as matching can be a bit random for instance with text. This is a good app with great potential if further developed. ### 3/5 — Loved it *2023-08-12, version 2.22* It's been many years now—Photo Tangler is definitely due for an update. Unfortunately, I believe it’s abandonware. Used to love it. Now, features don’t seem to work as smoothly, and the saved collage did not look like my in-app edits. Please, developer, don’t let this excellent photo-blending collage app fall by the wayside! ### 4/5 — Loved it *2021-08-21, version 2.22* It's been 2 years; time for an update? I do like the way it softly merges a number of photos together. Great for making bookmarks, etc. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2021-06-19, version 2.22* This app have proven to be pretty fun so far! ### 5/5 — Fun App *2021-05-20, version 2.22* This is a really handy app. Very easy to use with great results. ### 5/5 — Simply Fun! *2021-04-02, version 2.22* Create some fun in a few minutes! ### 5/5 — maybe this app was good, once *2021-03-08, version 2.22* now it's pure garbage.. sadly. i like how the developer keeper small the size of the app ### 4/5 — Fun *2021-02-14, version 2.22* Fun app. Kind of hard to use. Instructions easy to find. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-02-05, version 2.22* I’ve used this app for years. I really like the flexibility and options it offers. I just wish the navigation was a bit easier. ### 5/5 — Fun and Easy *2021-01-13, version 2.22* This app is great fun and just takes a little fiddling around to figure it out. ### 5/5 — Best Blending App. *2020-11-30, version 2.22* This has to be the best and also the easiest photo blending app to use. I have tries all the new ones as they come out but ultimately return to Phototangler. Everyone that wants to create a collage of any sort should go straight to this app. ### 5/5 — Nice *2020-09-10, version 2.22* Great app not quite as detailed after transferring but Still a great app thank you ### 4/5 — GREAT PHOTO EDITING APP - EVEN ON A PHONE! *2020-09-05, version 2.22* I’m just getting to grips with this app, really, but - so far - am finding it fairly easy (though not intuitive) to use. I’m sure there’s loads more I will stumble across in the weeks to come... I’ll look to update my review then, but a solid four stars from me, for now. ### 5/5 — Wow! So easy *2020-09-04, version 2.22* A great way to collage your favorite photos ### 5/5 — 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 *2020-06-10, version 2.22* Amazing app no regrets please download and no adds 😁 ### 4/5 — Useful *2020-04-11, version 2.22* I like using this, took me a wee bit to sort out the actions, but works well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Privacy details *2024-06-21, version 2.22* PhotoTangler: Apple has been waiting on Kurt Miller to submit “Privacy Details” (what data of yours, he is accessing) for years now. That is probably why there have been no updates (someone mentioned in comments). Very Shady! ### 1/5 — Never works *2021-02-22, version 2.22* Every time I try to edit any imported photo I get ‘Image Failure. The requested image could not be loaded...’ Broken app. Shame, as it seems useful. ### 1/5 — Latest version not working on iPhone 8 *2019-04-05, version 2.21* Trying to resize the photo on the collage and it completely vanishes. Repeated with other photos. App currently not working ### 1/5 — Used to be Great BUT *2019-02-05, version 2.21* This app used to be great and my favorite app to make a collage but with the recent updates the picture now vanishes when you tap to resize or reposition it. I hope they fix this soon so that I can use it again and leave a better review. ### 1/5 — Developers haven’t repaired App. Pure FAIL! *2019-01-29, version 2.21* This app used to be somewhat decent, but sadly even after multiple complaints, the app has STILL not been fixed properly. Don’t waste your time or money. Apparently they just don’t care. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work Anymore! *2019-01-19, version 2.2* After the last update this app doesn’t work anymore. It’s been a wonderful app until now. Used it all the time. I have two iPads and after uploading the latest update the pictures disappear after loading them to the app. Useless! I have an old iPad mini that I didn’t update the app and it continues to work. Don’t update or buy until it’s corrected. Several other recent reviews state the same thing. ### 1/5 — Fave app RUINED *2018-12-29, version 2.2* The last update ruined this app. I used this app daily but after the last update photos vanish after adding them. I hope they fix this problem quickly. It’s been hard finding a good replacement. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2017-06-01, version 2.1* This app was a nightmare to use. I couldn't get it to select the photo I was trying to manipulate and I would get stuck on just one photo. After trying for 15 solid minutes to get it to work I've given up. ### 1/5 — It's a con!!! *2016-08-21, version 1.8* Absolutely awful. I've just wasted my money on this stupid thing! It doesn't even upload the photos properly, they are all blurry. The effect is AWFUL! Do not waste your money! ### 1/5 — URGH *2013-02-10, version 1.6* I had already bought this!!!!!!! And it made me buy it again for $5!!!!!!!!!!!!! Urgh :,( CREDIT ME $5!!! That's ridiculous! The app isn't even worth that! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-11-26, version 2.22* Makes nice blended montages. ### 5/5 — Best *2025-04-27, version 2.22* I’m enjoying using this app thanks ### 5/5 — Love this App!!! *2024-08-15, version 2.22* One of my favorite tools for working with photos. ### 5/5 — Photo blending *2023-07-23, version 2.22* Once you get to know how to use the full feature You won’t live without this ### 5/5 — Very Versatile *2023-06-12, version 2.22* I am attempting to create a collage of photos as background around a framed card. After much experimenting I found a solution using PhotoTangler that is unavailable using other collage makers of which I have many. ### 5/5 — Excellent Photo App *2022-07-27, version 2.22* A must have!!! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2022-05-29, version 2.22* So easy to use, and brings a collection of photos together brilliantly. One of my favourite apps for photos. Worth every penny spent on it. ### 5/5 — Photo Tangler makes it easy! *2021-12-03, version 2.22* This app makes a sometimes tedious editing job so much easier! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2021-09-25, version 2.22* The app is lots of fun. It takes many hassles out with shortcuts. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2021-09-24, version 2.22* I wish I had found this earlier but I really enjoy its functionality. The menu bar could be larger given my large hands but great regardless. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
