Makes it easy!

Uploading and making updates to screenshots is not something that I have do to super frequently. However, Picasso makes it incredibly easy when I do, and for that I am very thankful! I should think back to when I made the screenshots with Picasso, it was also very easy to make nice looking screenshots. Very happy with this tool.

Great, free, easy to use

Highly recommend, super easy to use and helps you get App Store screenshots done fast that look great!

Meh

I used it for a while. I invested a lot of time into it, but got fed up and switched to another cheaper non-subscription app.

This app is just too buggy. Too slow. And too weird.

The text outline feature looks visually wrong, sometimes when you can export images and manually upload, other times it exports the wrong sized image and apple rejects them. Sometimes the exported images are distorted. Sometimes they are fine. Sometimes a new update is released that crashes on startup right in the middle of your workflow. When you type in the canvas the letters lag behind even on an M4 MacBook Pro.

It has some good things, the localization features are nice, but literally every screenshot app does that now and there are several that cost less. I like the auto upload feature but not that I have to quit the app and re-open for it to recognize my App Store Connect app status changes.

The last straw for me was when I realized that device frames are localized (you can have one device frame per language) but images WITHOUT a frame are not localized (it persists the last image you added, so if you add an image to USA, then France, both USA and France have the France image). Why localize device frames but not non-framed screenshots?

Anyway I’ve moved on - it’s not a terrible app - I like what they are trying to do but ultimately it’s too buggy slow and too expensive.

The developer is also not responsive enough to my requests for help with some of the issues I had.

Response from developer

Hi there! Picasso 3.3.1 fixes this, please update it. Thanks to the community for sharing the necessary feedback to fix it.

OK Basics, but confusing and buggy

I wanted to like this app and hope that it would help me create MAS screenshots. But it’s frustrating to use.

1. It doesn’t support basic copy/paste, so unless your images are files, you you have to use the import image feature.
2. The app constantly hangs on simple dialogs like open/save and then has to be force quit
3. I dont know what auto generate does. I pressed it, and it doesn’t do anything
4. I want to use the pre baked device images and paste screenshots of my app in there, but it keeps saying the resolution is wrong and does not guide me on what or how to generate those resolutions. And the resolutions don’t match the device that I have selected.

I like the gradients and placement rulers and snap guides, but everything else about the app is extremely frustrating to use because it’s just hidden in menus, and the dual window view of managing the screenshots is confusing and cumbersome.

App that actually works

As somewhat new app developer it always takes me multiple days to get the screenshots sorted for my new app release. With this app I finally have a nice native app that can help me and make the process easier! :)

Amazing tool

I use this tool all the time, amazing!

So worth it!

Amazingly simple to use, highly recommended!

A screenshot app doesn’t need an account

Didn’t even use the app, but it immediately asks for your email and there’s no way to see how the app would even work without doing so. Just garbage behavior that is completely unnecessary.

Buggy…

I really like this app in concept, the tools are good and localization features are a game changer. I used it to make all my app screenshots in 4 languages.

Then I ran into bugs. The app originally exported perfectly, then after one update it exported weird distorted images, then after another update that was fixed but it exported the wrong sized, images, then that was fixed then there was an update that crashed on startup, the next update fixed it…. There definitely isn’t enough emphasis form the developer on quality control. I emailed the developer multiple times and only got a response to 1 of my emails after many months so support isn’t great either.

With those caveats, I’ve gone back to using the app because the international features are actually useful. So before you buy, know that it’s maybe not the most reliable app ever, but when it works it is nice.

If it wasn’t so buggy I’d buy lifetime in a heartbeat but as it is I never know if the next update will work properly or not…

Crashes all the time, can’t sign in

When it works it’s fine but at the moment opening the app on iPad crashes immediately, reinstalling did not help. I’ve for months now been unable to log in on Mac as well (I don’t remember but I think it never sent me an email link to log in, or it did and clicking it opened the app and did nothing).

So I’m giving up on this app because I obviously need a production-ready app for screenshots.

Huge Time Saver

For independent developers looking to not waste time on the administrative parts of listing on the App Store, this has been a huge, huge help. Instead of bouncing around trying to learn Figma, Sketch, and Affinity, this did exactly what I wanted.

Collects emails

Start app by asking for email is a very bad idea, I even did not see interface yet, do not know what is the app and would I need it or not. Yet, author already wants valid email. Ok, I will block it later. Regardless of the features, this itself does not worth more than 2 stars

Meine Meinung

Super einfache Bedienung und die Ergebnisse sind super

Useful!

Beginner-friendly, simple, and straightforward.

The app originally exported perfectly, then after one update it exported weird distorted images, then after another update that was fixed but it exported the wrong sized, images, then that was fixed etc. There definitely isn’t enough emphasis form the developer on quality control. Then with the most recent update it crashes too frequently. I emailed the developer and only got a response after multiple months so support isn’t great either.

If it wasn’t so buggy I’d buy lifetime in a hardhat but as it is I never know if the next update will work properly or not…

Not bad but keeps crashing

The app is decent enough, but it’s full of bugs. Half the time I’m trying to insert a new element into a screenshot the app just crashes. Every time I want to change an image the photo picker collapses. Would be 5 starts if it didn’t crash.

Good idea, lacks execution

Designing in the app is super easy and intuitive. I am having lots of issues uploading. The app seems to be uploading blank transparent images instead of my screenshots and then complains that my Apple Store app already has 10 screenshots. Also the export feature is the wrong amount of pixels!

Meh

Functional, but horrendously slow. No undo when editing screens until you close the editor window.

Poor type support: Forget about making a word bold or italic. No kerning support, so letters run together awkwardly. No leading options.

Did I mention it was sloooooooooooow? Running it on M1 Max.

FFS, “White” in the color picker is #FEFEFE !!!

Good luck!

Doesn’t work on Tahoe

Several people have reported an issue installing on Tahoe on their website, not response, not feedback, very poor and now looking for an alternative based on the lack of communication.

Update: Recently received a promotional email with a reply email address, that doesn’t work, email bounced back

Nice but not Deep

There were some bugs and we need way more templates.
