### 2/5 — Bugz

*2025-07-20, version 4.7.1*

Pick the first yearly sub in the app, it’s £37.99, not £19.49 as in the App Store page. Not good. 

Tap ‘Instagram’, it picks the wrong photo. 

As much as I love Doug’s filters, this is all wrong and Apple should know.

### 4/5 — App Freezes after a Few Edits

*2025-04-13, version 4.7.1*

It’s a good editing tool but it freezes after editing 5 to 6 pics. I usually have to exist out of the app and open it again but the same happens each time.

### 2/5 — Downgraded app

*2023-02-07, version 4.06.02*

App no longer handles large files and crashes constantly

### 1/5 — Nothing special

*2022-11-23, version 4.05.00*

It is nothing special about this app only thing i like and that is background erased

### 1/5 — Ads ruined this app

*2022-11-13, version 4.05.00*

I have used this app to edit photos for a long time, but they ruined it with the new ads.  I get interrupted in the middle of my editing process and can’t even remember what I am doing by the time the ad is over.

### 1/5 — Why so many ads???

*2022-11-08, version 4.05.00*

I have been using this app for years and now I get so many ads! In the middle of editing a photo I have to wait for an ad to finish just so I can finish editing. It’s ridiculous! Time for me to move on to something new!

### 1/5 — Another unhappy longtime user

*2022-11-07, version 4.05.00*

As the comment below I also have been using this app for many years and including have paid for the app as well but I keep on being promoted to subscribe every time I enter the app as well. Today just made it worse with having to watch a 30 second advertisement in order to continue using the app! I’m not looking for a replacement for this app.

### 2/5 — App crashes too often while using

*2022-09-24, version 4.04.00*

Disappointed with this app and request a refund. App crashes too much while using it, and removes too much of the picture in some cases. I will go with PhotoRoom instead.

### 2/5 — Too Tough

*2022-09-13, version 4.03.00*

Its a Pay- Hungry Site , With. Features Closed & No Tutorials on how to Actually & Practically Use them

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2022-07-19, version 4.02.00*

Just do it

### 1/5 — Once again quit working

*2026-01-30, version 4.7.1*

When this ap works it’s great, but when they update it my older version which I paid for quits working.

### 1/5 — Paid for subscription, now doesn’t work

*2024-12-23, version 4.7.1*

Worked for about 2 days after I paid for the subscription. Now it doesn’t let me batch pictures (which is why I paid for the yearly )

### 1/5 — It Used to be Perfect… Now Often Fails to Apply

*2024-07-12, version 4.06.04*

I love this app when it works smoothly! However lately after I apply a filter and adjust it, often the app gets hung up and spins… spins… so I have to redo my work. Often = around every 6-8 photos. I am generally working with 150-200 photos in each batch.

SO I UPDATED 7/12/24
And now it automatically saves a copy of every photo. How do I stop it from doing that?

### 1/5 — I used to love this app.

*2024-04-07, version 4.06.04*

I exclusively used this apps for all my photo editing for years and years and I still want to use it BUT all it ever does now is crash. I even used the version you had to pay for. I don’t know why it stopped working but I really wish they would fix it!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-01-28, version 4.06.03*

Until today I was able to go to my photos, tap edit, Pic Tap Go comes up, then I could edit my photo from there. Now when I do that, it never brings up my photo. I just paid 39.00 for the annual subscription and it’s not working. Not happy!

### 1/5 — Needs Improvement

*2024-01-27, version 4.06.03*

So you have now made it where a customer has to pay to be able to do extra adjustment to a photo.  I purchased for the one week to see because the older version sometimes does not work.  However this new version doesn’t work good.   I have to reopen the app and get the pictures from there.  I have been using this app for at least 4 years and this is a negative for me.  You are trying to make more money but there are many bugs that need to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Your recent update

*2024-01-20, version 4.06.02*

I am now looking for another program
Tripled my time editing photos for my website

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2023-06-02, version 4.06.02*

Suddenly classic PicTapGo not working anymore. Downloaded new app. Reviews suggest I should be able to use classic functions without a subscription. Nope. Won’t let me do anything. I only use it to make white border on my photos, no interest in filters etc. Not cost effective for my purposes.

### 1/5 — I can Edit but not Save!

*2023-04-24, version 4.06.02*

I can edit all the pictures to my liking but when it’s time to save it spins and spins then never saves. I actually have the subscription so when I originally bought it it was amazing. Now I’m highly disappointed ☹️

### 1/5 — Does not work as advertised

*2022-12-26, version 4.06.01*

Used cutout on an image With a very well defined background and it did not remove it. Canceling.
