### 3/5 — Can’t download?

*2022-08-22, version 2.9*

Hi, I’ve used this for a long time, but now I can’t download images?  Is it Facebook or the app?

### 3/5 — Will not load media

*2019-10-29, version 2.7.4*

I’ve been using this app with satisfaction for several years. Since the IOS 13 update, media will not load. Please fix!

**Developer response:** Hi
Did you try to update to version 2.7.7? These problems should be fixed there.

### 4/5 — Good but

*2019-10-25, version 2.7.4*

Having troubles with loading media? It keeps saying “can’t copy url”

**Developer response:** Hi
Did you try to update to version 2.7.7? These problems should be fixed there.

### 4/5 — Happy! But...

*2018-04-06, version 2.6.2*

So I’ve been using Picstagrab for about a year now, and after the recent update I suddenly couldn’t save videos or see the things I liked? If I tried to save a video it would take the photo instead. I may just be missing something however, everything else in the app works amazingly though!

**Developer response:** Hi.
 The reason for the "my likes" being removed is that Instagram without warning decided to disallow access to retrieve both likes and also user-information. I am really sorry about that, and unfortunately there is not much I can do about it. And believe me, I find it really frustrating that Instagram has done this, and if there was anything I could do to make the likes and user-search reappear, I would do it. One approach you could use is to find the pictures/videos in Instagram and load them into Picstagrab through the share-url. With regards to the download button, it will be available shortly.

### 2/5 — Upset about changes

*2018-04-06, version 2.6.2*

This used to be a great app, where I could see my recently liked vids/photos on insta, but since the recent update, there is now no option for that which now gives me no use of this app anymore. It also used to let me save videos from insta to my photo album without any watermarks, but they have changed that too to where I can’t save the vids anymore. So now this app is completely useless to me and now I have to use another app. 😩😡😭

Hope you will still find Picstagrab useful. Best regards Ole-Kristian

### 5/5 — Best App!!!

*2017-10-18, version 2.5.5*

Best app ever, believe me I’ve tried all of them this one is the best of all.

**Developer response:** Good to hear that you like Picstagrab. Thanks for the great review :-)

### 4/5 — Watermark

*2016-11-03, version 2.4.3*

Watermark is not working when I save and then post onto Insta. Anyone else having this experience?

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-07-02, version 2.4.1*

Great tool for hubs on I.g. To check photos before featuring them!

### 3/5 — Excellent ideas, but buggy

*2016-06-27, version 2.4*

3/4 times I try to add a watermark, it doesn't work. The watermark customization was the whole point I downloaded/paid for the app, so this is pretty frustrating. Other than that, it's great!

### 5/5 — Won't connect to Instagram

*2016-06-08, version 2.3.5*

This app is only favorite, but now I keep getting an error. It will not connect to Instagram and keeps telling me to try again later. Please fix this.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2016-06-07, version 2.3.5*

Best app!!!  I use this app daily for checking images and reposting on IG feature accounts. Image checking is more accurate using this app. (I've compared) 
Reposting function with the ability to save a caption is a bonus👍🏼
I wish there were 6 stars because the developer is very responsive to emails and providing workaround for issues.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-10-20, version 2.9*

This app worked very well when I first used it a year or more ago but now fails with no response or support from the developer to my requests to know why the app has been more and more a failure. It will not load media at all. I have also paid into the developers "coffee fund."

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2022-07-09, version 2.9*

It used to be great but stopped working months ago. Won’t “load media”

### 1/5 — No longer works :(

*2022-07-01, version 2.9*

This app used to be my go-to but now it no longer works…you click the load media link and nothing happens. Tried uninstalling but no luck. I’ve been waiting for an update to fix the issue but there hasn’t been one for months. Almost seems like the developers abandoned it.

### 1/5 — Used to be great - Non functional now on iOS

*2021-11-19, version 2.8.1*

Loved this app and used it all the time to curate a hub. The app has fallen behind and does not work anymore.

**Developer response:** Hi Some good news :) I have figured out and fixed the issue with Picstagrab crashing when loading media. I am preparing an update, and will release it as soon as it is approved by Apple. Hopefully the fix will be live within a couple of days. Sorry for the inconvenience this problem has caused, and thanks for using Picstagrab. Best Regards Ole-Kristian

### 1/5 — Tried and tried but always FAILS

*2020-09-10, version 2.7.9*

Error trying to login with Instagram, same error when trying to login with Facebook. JUNK!

**Developer response:** Hi
The native login in the app no longer works due to that Instagram now has disallowed such logins from 3rd party consumer apps. However, when accessing the search page, you should still be able to log in from there in order to access media

### 1/5 — Tin eye doesn’t work

*2020-05-17, version 2.7.9*

Love this app but it seems that the tin eye still doesn’t work for me on my iPhone 6.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2019-10-27, version 2.7.4*

I used to use this app everyday and now it won’t work at all. Every time I would paste a URL that I copied, it would automatically bring up the content/media and I could save it immediately. Now, it just says “Failed to load URL” every single time. Please fix this issue so I can adjust the star rating.

**Developer response:** Hi
Did you try to update to version 2.7.7? These problems should be fixed there.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-07-06, version 2.6.5*

I used to love this app. It would crash occasionally but I was always able to get it to work until today. It will let me save scripts but it won’t upload or download any pictures.

**Developer response:** I just released an update earlier today (version 2.6.6) that fixes the problem you have experienced. 
Best regards
Ole-Kristian

### 1/5 — 01/16/17

*2018-01-17, version 2.5.8*

Video repost not working on iPhone x

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all

*2016-05-19, version 2.3.5*

Don't waste your energy. Doesn't work. Searching for anything doesn't bring up results. No way to find pictures for reposting.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2020-11-11, version 2.8.1*

Your app is awesome! Easy to use! Excellent clarity in copies. Love it❤️

### 5/5 — Solid app with an accessibility issue

*2020-06-09, version 2.7.9*

Solid app with minimal ads and no limit to the amount you can save and download. Only thing I would like to have is a button or option to go to the post you’ve liked in your insta account. It would help a lot for me and possibly others

**Developer response:** Hi
Glad you like Picstagrab. I agree, it would be good to be able to access media that you have liked in IG, and Picstagrab used to support this, but some time ago, Instagram blocked access to this information, and I am therefore no longer able to access media you have liked.

### 5/5 — Still has errors loading

*2019-11-02, version 2.7.5*

Now it gives an error message suggesting you log out and log back in every time you try to load media.  Then logs you out after loading media one time.

**Developer response:** Hi
Did you try to update to version 2.7.7? These problems should be fixed there.

### 5/5 — No longer working

*2019-10-29, version 2.7.4*

I love this app. Normally , I would give it a five-star rating but it hasn’t worked in 4 days. The media won’t load. As a hub moderator I depend on Picstagrab to capture and download photos and check them with TinEye. Now, I can’t do anything with this application. Very disappointing

**Developer response:** Hi
Did you try to update to version 2.7.7? These problems should be fixed there.

### 5/5 — Very good.

*2019-07-18, version 2.7.3*

Even though I am a foreigner, I use this app very easily. Developers also have quick feedback.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I am glad you like Picstagrab :-)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-06-23, version 2.7.3*

Easy to use great app

### 5/5 — yess

*2019-05-31, version 2.7.3*

i’ve been using this app since 2016 and i still love it. anytime i try to find it in the store it’s always so hard 😭🤧

### 5/5 — PERFECTION

*2019-02-04, version 2.7.0*

Easy to use.  No watermark—I like to give credit in my caption.  Don’t want to alter the composition of the photo.  Picstagrab beats Repost for Instagram by a mile.  And has a WAY better name!!

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the great review. I am glad you like Picstagrab :-)

### 5/5 — It won’t load

*2018-12-14, version 2.6.7*

I absolutely love your app, but with your recent update the app doesn’t load when I try to open it on either my iPhone or iPad. You were attempting to fix the recent IG connection problems but now I can’t even open it so I don’t know if the IG fix works! I know you’ll get it working soon🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻!

**Developer response:** Hi.
Glad you like Picstagrab :-) I am really sorry for the crash introduced in the latest update. I have prepared a fix for it and will release it as soon as it is approved by apple. Just released the version where the crash is fixed, so it should be available for download shortly.

### 5/5 — Best but issues with video

*2018-01-22, version 2.5.8*

This is the best out there. I paid to remove the ads and it was totally worth it. But i am having permission issues with videos. Please fix it.

**Developer response:** Hi. Glad you like Picstagrab. If you send me a mail at Ole-Kristian@sunnarsoft.com, I will do my best to sort out your permission problems.
Best Regards
Ole-Kristian
