### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-21, version 3.1.0*

This app used to be a Godsend to make fun pictures. But all of a sudden it started crashing randomly anytime I’d try and use it. What a waste!

### 3/5 — Vinny

*2024-08-30*

Great for cropping photos. That is a necessary tool.

### 1/5 — No longer exporting pics

*2024-03-18, version 3.1.0*

This app doesn’t seem to be supported anymore. It won’t export pics I’ve worked on.

### 4/5 — Love This!

*2023-08-19, version 3.1.0*

Best app for enhancing photos.

### 4/5 — Perfect, but needs an update visually

*2022-11-29, version 3.1.0*

Its exactly what I’m looking for, I wanted the focus exit option. It was perfect! But it visually looks outdated, need an update visually to make the design (buttons, etc) look more modern.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2021-12-23, version 3.1.0*

Great app for what I need to do

### 4/5 — Fun little photo editor

*2021-05-31, version 3.1.0*

Worth the extra price for the full set of features. Just make sure to load in a photo from your device and allow permissions to access the photo library before attempting to save your first edit. If you do not, the app will not seek to ask your permission at the point of saving leaving you unable to export your work.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-05-13, version 3.1.0*

Great app to show creativity and unique images.

### 5/5 — Best App for Borders!

*2021-03-25, version 3.1.0*

Very user friendly, especially for beginners or ppl who are not “tech-gifted”! Love it!!

### 4/5 — So easy!

*2020-11-02, version 3.1.0*

I heaved a sigh of relief to find this uncomplicated app. Would have liked more colour options for the frames.
