### 3/5 — ugh new update changed my daily used item

*2026-07-11, version 15.12*

I have used this app for years for our social media and one of the best features was the ability to adjust the sizes of the sections for each photo - just nudge the border a bit to make things fit better. This new update has a “feature” that now requires multiple steps and it is now a hassle. I understand wanting to make things fancier, but you took away the easy task and made it time consuming. It may just be 3-4 steps, but it was so easy before!

Update: I see the developer note that it has returned with update, but it has not. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe I did not explain it well or maybe it has a different way of working now - but it isn’t working as before.

### 4/5 — 漢字変換ができない

*2025-09-30*

アップデートされてからか？、日本語入力の際、勝手に確定ボタンが押されてしまい、漢字変換ができなくなってしまいました。すべてひらがなで表示されてしまいます。早急に直してほしいです。

### 2/5 — Another transition to subscription

*2025-09-15*

Is there nothing these days that isn’t a subscription?

### 4/5 — 一番よく使っています

*2025-01-23*

シンプルな操作性で長年使っています。ボーダーの調整もしやすく、色や柄が豊富にあるのも気に入っています。
2点、細かいところですが改善希望です。1つ目は、文字やラベルの色を選ぶ時、スポイトで元の写真から色を拾えるようにしていただきたいです。編集効率がグッと上がります。2つ目は、日本語の文字を打つと、1文字目が漢字変換できません。（例えば「にほんご」と入力すると、1文字目の「に」だけ勝手にひらがなで確定されてしまい、「ほんご」だけが変換対象になります）こちらは修正していただけるとありがたいです。

### 2/5 — Zu viel Geld

*2024-10-30*

An sich coole App, aber ich finde doof, dass man viele Sachen teuer kaufen muss und es nur wenige Schriftarten gibt. Es gibt definitiv bessere CollageApps. Installiere mir bald eine andere und lösche Picframe.

### 5/5 — Very useful app but…

*2024-10-07*

Highly recommend this app!
~Very useful
~Handy
~Cute
~Easy to use
~Makes really nice designs 

HOWEVER-
~ You have to pay extra for premium when premium only offers a few extra stickers and text fonts! Slightly annoying!! 👍

### 4/5 — Pic Frame Review

*2024-09-17, version 13.37*

Well designed and intuitive app. Sure wish there was a purchase version though so it wouldn’t brand every created image with their logo. Let me know if I’m missing something

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-09-07, version 13.37*

This is a good app but you have to pay for a lot of templates

### 3/5 — 突然…

*2024-07-19*

ムービーで保存されるようになりました…どうしたら良いのでしょうか。。ビデオなんとかっていうのが出ます

### 2/5 — Can’t adjust pictures anymore :(

*2024-07-19, version 13.36*

I used to use this app all the time because it specifically let me adjust my pictures in the frame with how wide and how much of the picture I wanted to see - after coming back and looking at the options they’ve taken away this feature :( 

Please bring this feature back!

### 5/5 — Ease

*2024-06-07, version 13.35*

This app is so easy to use and its free.

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-04-12, version 13.34*

Found this app after watching YouTube video of scrapbooker Erin Jacobson. Best photo app I have used. Highly recommended.

### 1/5 — Great app but have to pay to remove watermark

*2026-05-22, version 15.7*

This is an easy to use app that allows you to collage pictures in a preset frame size, with even custom sizes. Unfortunately, in order to get the full benefits of the app, including printing and saving, you must pay for it, otherwise, you will have a watermark. I deleted it because I am not paying for an app like this.

### 1/5 — Подписка

*2026-04-25*

Внимание! Подписка за простое приложение!!!

### 1/5 — Paywall after 3 day trial

*2026-02-17, version 15.4*

Requires a subscription after a 3 day trial - I just need a simple color frame - no frills, no patterns - just a quick way to apply the same frame to a Batch of images that will be used as video slides - there’s no possible reason why the monthly subscription is even close to a value here

### 1/5 — If its not broken don’t fix it!

*2025-12-17, version 15.3*

Just updated this nifty little useful app and now it IS COMPLETELY USELESS! Also most helpful reviews from 🫣😱over 10 years ago are NOT helpful now!

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-04-05, version 13.42*

Not functional and hard to cancel subscription. Why are scam apps prioritized on apple?

### 1/5 — can’t disable spell check

*2025-01-30, version 13.41*

memes with unrecognized words have a red squiggly line under them, shameful

### 1/5 — Watermark on free version

*2025-01-30*

Was loving this until I saved my first one and saw the huge watermark.

### 1/5 — Versão Grátis é HORRÍVEL

*2024-02-27*

A versão grátis é um lixo.

### 1/5 — Too simple and not flexible

*2023-11-07, version 13.32*

Could not find a way to make custom frame sizes too expensive for what it does

### 1/5 — Watermark

*2023-06-23, version 13.28*

Why did they add a watermark are you kidding me

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Updated: Thank you for listening!

*2026-07-20*

Review updated! I complained about a change and the developer responded and put the feature back in! This is back to my daily use! Thank you for listeners to your users. 😊

**Developer response:** Double check you are using the latest version by visiting the App Store. To adjust the sizes of the sections without going to the new edit mode, place your finger on the gap between sections and hold it still for half a second, this will then let you drag it to adjust. I hope that helps, if not, please get in touch via the PicFrame app > Settings button > Support > Contact Support.
Thanks

### 5/5 — 起動できない

*2025-08-25*

iOS18.6.1にアップデート後、起動しなくなった。

### 5/5 — Best App for Journaling!

*2025-08-25*

Wanted to delete my previous review, but it’s not letting me so I do apologize. Literally the best app for journaling/scrapbooking! 💖💖💖💖

**Developer response:** Please get in touch via the app Settings icon > Support and I can help figure out the issue. The app works with iOS 18 as it is so it might be something else. Thanks

### 5/5 — the best developed pic frame app

*2025-08-10, version 14.1*

been using this app for years. it consistently develops and evolves into a better and better app. support is always fast and they listen to customer input.  with the recent addition to custom layouts they have stepped it up yet again. i’ve bought many pic layout apps over the years but this one is the one i keep using regularly.

### 5/5 — LOVE this app!

*2024-10-13*

I’ve used this app since my first iPhone4 and it is so useful, so simple, so helpful and never prompts me for upgrades etc. It just works.  It always has. And well I just came in here to say thank you! I’d be happy to pay for this after all these years!
