### 3/5 — I’ll change it to 5 once it’s fixed :)

*2019-04-19, version 1.3*

I can’t download the extra content at all

### 4/5 — Great app but needs more

*2016-08-27*

I love the app! Powerful and simple. But... I wish it had shadows and basic light direction. I also wish I could purchase turbosquid models and use them in this app. I'd download and buy a LOT more models that way. As an artist creating a lot of work on my iPhone, these tweaks would make Pixel Squid an indispensable tool. But other than that, I love the app.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-06-02, version 1.2*

This app should be the next big thing

### 3/5 — Awesome app but....

*2016-04-27*

I dl'd the app and loved it instantly...however I could not get the free packs of objects to download. It just said "processing" indefinitely. I uninstalled and tried to reinstall to see if that fixed the problem and now I cannot get the app to install. I am so sad as it is an AWESOME app. Please work out the bugs!!

### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps

*2016-04-18*

I love this app. One of my favorite I have on my phone. So many possibilities! The tools are great and the models are fantastic. However I have one minor complaint. There are too many models now that keeping them listed just isn't working anymore. A quick fix would be to just put the apps into categories based on their packs. Other than that, great app.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2016-02-22, version 1.1*

This app is fantastic. Once you learn the things you can do, this app will be the best one you've ever downloaded. PLEASE ADD ALOT MORE THINGS! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! GET THIS!!!!

### 4/5 — Nice toy app

*2016-01-31, version 1.1*

Easy to make compositions with fake 3D models. 
The erase tool is the weakest part of the app no doubt. It's almost impossible to use it convincingly. 
What would also be nice: a way to adjust the light source! These are 3D models after all.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!!!

*2016-01-14, version 1.1*

Partied hard at the Hamptons all weekend.  People were taking selfies and playing with the app till the sun came up!  Big hit. 

Please add Princess Leia's braids. I have a special pic for Mr. Sugarfoot!

Tbone, I ain't dead yet!

### 3/5 — Good app. Needs more

*2016-01-13*

Good start to a new app. Everything works flawlessly. It needs the ability to zoom in on photos to mask things better. Also probably most importantly needs the ability to move the light source around and change the hardness of the light. Also needs the ability to adjust contrast and/or add Haze to an object. Highlight and shadow color temperature is also needed.

### 5/5 — Great for events!

*2016-01-12*

Took this gem to the Hamptons last weekend to take some funny pictures at my boss's house party. Everyone agreed how lifelike it was! 5 stars all day long. Can't wait to take this on my next trip to the Virgin Islands!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-10-07*

No matter what I choose all the extra content fails to download. I “purchase” the item for free, it says You’re all set! Then it begins downloading. At about 80% it says Failed. Unusable on iPhone 13.

### 1/5 — Fake

*2022-03-30, version 1.3*

When u download this u will see free downloads, but when u try to download them free, they don’t download.don’t get this app

### 1/5 — Not updated for more than 3 years...

*2020-04-25*

How is it going to work properly if Not updated for more than 3 years...

### 1/5 — Worked like a charm at first...

*2019-07-07*

But now all it does is freeze up my phone. Haven’t tried the PS plug in yet, so this has me leary and very unwilling to commit to a subscription.

### 1/5 — Problems with app

*2018-03-05*

Can’t retrieve previous purchase objects and won’t open up new ones!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-06-11, version 1.2*

Need lots of improvement. U cant move the pixel around. It only stays in the center. Disappointing really.

### 1/5 — Can't move objects around only rotates

*2016-04-19, version 1.2*

Can't move the objects up or down or side to side. Major flaw

### 2/5 — Only get so many 3D things

*2020-06-15*

Seriously all I get at first is a dinosaur and glass and a butterfly and 2 more things and when I went to download more it said please confirm the password blah blah blah be happy I  got the app and then your making me pay 💰 !!!!!!!

### 2/5 — A very impressive looking app but......

*2020-03-07, version 1.3*

...it doesn’t work. I downloaded it then tried to edit a photo, installed a couple of the free image packs  (which there were many to choose from & admittedly do look amazing) then the app froze completely. Had to delete the app entirely in order to unfreeze my screen, tried reinstalling it again & had the exact same issue. I then tried it on 2 of my other devices & had the same issue. 
I was so excited about this app & couldn’t wait to use it as it does look amazing but my excitement  quickly turned to frustration.

### 3/5 — WATERMARK

*2020-07-08*

It’s ugly and gross. I get the marketing part but dude make a pay to remove option eh?

### 5/5 — Wow

*2019-04-19, version 1.3*

What a awesome app definitely worth the download I’m looking forward to enjoying all the objects in my images

### 5/5 — Photo Editor Must Have

*2019-04-07*

Super awesome app that doesn’t have competition. At least I’m not aware of another app like this one. Absolutely love it!!  The only thing that could be added is the ability to change location of the light source. Besides that it’s amazing 😎

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2018-11-25*

Should be a option to remove watermark.

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP!!!!

*2018-08-16*

Amazing! I’m always using it to add a surreal twist or a “I didn’t notice that before!” moment to friends pics or my own. 
Bravo !!

### 5/5 — Pixel Squid is the best!

*2018-04-23*

Creators of this app are beyond geniuses.  To create an app that is so user friendly that someone like me can use is no easy feat!!! Love it!!!!

### 5/5 — BEST APP EVEEEEEEER

*2016-11-06, version 1.2*

BEST APP EVEEEEEEER but 1 thing, I wish there was a preview template for when you took a pic

### 5/5 — Best app in 2016

*2016-10-28, version 1.2*

I love this app. I composite 3D objects on my photos and post them on IG all the time.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-10-11, version 1.2*

Total blast!

### 5/5 — Best App Ever!!!!!

*2016-07-27, version 1.2*

Greatest app in the world!!! I recommend this app to anyone trying to make cool photos or even just fooling around! That's what I do.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-07-15*

...And plenty of fun enhancing many of my personal photos. 
Very easy to use once you get the hang of the finger gestures. Would gladly pay for an in-app purchase to remove the watermark.
