### 2/5 — Limited functionality

*2020-02-17, version 2.3*

Like most of the other ‘orientation’ apps, this one does not do ‘micro adjustments’ of a subject image against a vertical grid (to correct for ‘off of axis’ visuals of less than 90 degrees). This essential feature was also recently removed from Apple’s native “photos” editor (why Apple!!?). The basic 90 degree increment fixes are there - but also packaged in most comprehensive editor packages... Suitable for those who are intimidated by a more full featured suite - or got one without this basic function.

### 2/5 — 分かりづらい

*2020-02-17*

iPad Air2(詳しい型番はよくわかってないけどちょい古め)で使用した時リサイズ以外の操作アイコンが消えていてどう操作すればいいのか分からなかった(ストアの画像からアイコンの位置を予想して押したら操作はできた)
操作自体は単純でストアの画像を見る限り直感的に理解しやすそうだけど、端末によって差が生じるのはアプリとして微妙

### 4/5 — Take screenshots of it

*2019-08-24, version 2.3*

If you take screen shots instead of clicking save, you don’t have to watch the ads! I probably shouldn’t say this but yeah

### 4/5 — There’s a trick, but it works.

*2019-07-20, version 2.3*

It works, if you remember to remove your photo app from the application que to see the flipped image. The instructions should mention that.

### 5/5 — 図案に使ってます

*2019-05-06*

アイロンビーズの図案を反転させたい時に使っています。
とても重宝しています、ありがとうございます！
広告の表示頻度は、★1レビューで書かれているほど気になりませんでした。無料で公開頂いてますし、当然かなと感じます。
どうしても気になる方は、ご自身でアプリを作られたら良いと思います。

### 5/5 — ！！

*2019-05-01*

ワンタッチでいいから、マジで使いやすい！

### 5/5 — 便利

*2019-03-15*

ワンタッチで出来て分かりやすくてむっちゃオススメです！
簡単

### 5/5 — great app

*2019-01-16, version 2.0*

i’m not sure why everyone is saying you have to watch the long ads, once you save it to camera roll just exit out of the app and it’s in your camera roll. then if you want to flip more pictures just go back to the app. you don’t have to watch the long ads. also, it’s super useful so i recommend.

### 5/5 — Cool!

*2018-12-18, version 1.8*

I like this app a lot! That ads aren't exactly great, but PicGizmo still gets the job done!

### 5/5 — effective

*2018-12-16, version 1.8*

it does exactly what it says it will but if you have zero patience like half the people in the reviews then ig ill warn you that after you save the pic an ad pops up but its not a big deal

Accessed the camera roll for first photo, but afterwards would only show that one photo when accessing camera roll, couldn’t access anymore photos, deleting for another app that works

### 1/5 — そもそも

*2021-08-15*

出てくる写真と出てこない写真があるのはなんで？
カメラロールにあるのにこのアプリの選択画面には出てこないことが度々あって本当に使えない。無能なの？
みなさん、こんなゴミアプリよりフォトフリッパーを使ってみてください。

### 1/5 — Transparent background failure

*2019-01-31, version 2.0*

You guys changed something & I can no longer make a mirror image of something on top of a transparent background. I’ve been able to do this ever since I downloaded this app & I even did this process as recent as a week ago.
Please fix this🙏🏼

### 1/5 — Trash but does what it do

*2019-01-05, version 2.0*

I hate how Apple makes me download this ad infested garbage with horrible UI just because they can’t include a basic feature in their photos app.

### 5/5 — Perfect Photo Enlarging App!

*2024-12-17, version 3.5*

PicGizmo is a perfect photo enlargement app. Having to select “Camera Roll” twice is a bit annoying, but the app does work exceptionally well.

Oh, and to the reviewer with the tasteless username who got this app just to flip selfies, you can use the Apple “Photos” app that comes pre installed on your iPhone to flip your selfies. You can also edit your selfies in other ways with the Photos app if you wish to do that as well. Just FYI. 
The iPhone comes with a lot of free full featured apps that people aren’t aware of what they do and how useful they are.
Enlarging photos is not a feature built into your iPhone however, so PicGizmo is your best option for that.

MORE REVIEW - WHY IS THIS APP SUDDENLY INUNDATING ME WITH ADS? I PAID FOR THIS APP TO GET RID OF THE ADS AND NOW THE ADS ARE BACK WORSE THAN EVER! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?

### 5/5 — Photo editor

*2024-08-14, version 3.3*

A  Very convenient friendly photo editor app,

### 5/5 — It gets the job done

*2023-06-26, version 3.1*

Easy to use, layout could be better.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2022-05-21, version 2.5*

### 5/5 — 神

Great app!

### 5/5 — The Very Best

*2019-12-15, version 2.3*

Works well. Quick and Easy photo editing app! ❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says

*2019-10-29, version 2.3*

Quick and simple. No gimmicks, and best of all no pay walls! I don’t know why apple’s built in photo editing does not have a flip function... but this works great!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2019-07-19*

It’s very nice app

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-06-13, version 2.2*

This is so useful for things i need. Like having to flip old family pictures, cropping photos in edits. At the end, there are ads, but just exit the app, or if you are gonna flip another pic, just  double tap your home button and clear out the tab. Easy and usable.
Love it!
