### 5/5 — Works well

*2014-07-04*

App rescales pictures! I am very happy!

### 5/5 — Perfect app and customer service!

*2014-03-30*

I had at on point removed this app for no real reason. When I noticed it missing,I reinstalled it. Then I couldn't get an image to load. I fired off an email to get some help. They are fast too. But. I just happened to hit the words "image scale tool". And there ya go. It works perfectly! 5 stars for the app and Courtney for the fast response!

### 5/5 — Great to have in my pocket

*2013-12-12*

I've used a proportion wheel for years,but don't carry it out so I was very happy to find this app when I needed to find out why a print scaled smaller than expected. It worked just great and gave me the answer I needed. I'll be showing it off to my designer friends and colleagues.

### 4/5 — Hideous interface

*2013-07-08*

It works just fine. But the interface is butt-ugly.

### 4/5 — Engineer

*2013-06-29*

Yes, it does what we need well (good purchase). Suggest future updates enable the user to insert their own image and add crop.

### 5/5 — Makes my job easier!

*2013-05-29*

I'm also in the sign business. I switched from mainly using Signlab to photoshop. After always working "full size" in Signlab, I had some major adjustments to make in my workflow. This app has helped tremendously. Thanks for making it available.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2013-04-24*

Just as the previous person who commented on this app I too work a sign company.  Being on the field and using visuals for a client they do ask, "what if we made the sign 6" taller...then how long would it be?"

This is a very useful app for what I do on the field for surveying and estimating

### 5/5 — Удобно

*2013-04-03*

Если необходимо оформлять в Шопе чертежи, меняя их масштаб, - приложение экономит массу времени. Выдает увеличение/уменьшение в процентах. Очень удобно. Правда интерфейс убогий

### 4/5 — Proportional scale

*2013-03-26*

After finding out I must enter a plus sign between numbers and fractions, such as 2+1/2, and experimenting a bit with the enlarge and reduction fields, this app is now working great. Remember to clear all fields for each calculation. I will let others know it is a good app.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-03-07*

Very useful app. Use everyday. If I could offer 1 suggestion and that is add a few Presets size drop down menu that would be awesome.

### 4/5 — Hooray

*2013-02-22, version 3.1*

Does exactly what I need. Thanks for fixing the crash issue.

### 5/5 — This app is a godsend!!

*2011-03-30, version 2.0*

Finally! I've been waiting for an app like this! So helpful! Thank you devs!

### 1/5 — Can't Access Upload

*2017-09-06*

When I resize the image and go to upload I can't access the image. Thought it would appear in Photos app but is nowhere to be seen! Disappeared into the crap app ether!!

### 1/5 — This app is a FRAUD

*2013-03-20*

When opening this junk app, only a screen with a series of questions pops up ! No other link !! 
Save your money !!!
Fraudsters ... "Karma" gonna get :*

### 1/5 — Not so good!

*2013-02-13, version 3.0*

Just purchased but it will not open. Might have been better off to shred my a couple of dollars.

### 1/5 — This does not work

*2012-09-23*

Do not buy it

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2011-11-19, version 2.0*

Wasn't what I was looking for!!

### 1/5 — Doesn't resize, but only calculates.

*2010-07-11, version 0*

Can't edit photos. 

It only calculates for true photo editors like mspaint, etc.

### 1/5 — Maybe I'm just an idiot

*2009-12-29*

I don't see how to open a photo in this app. I touched and swiped and opened and reopened... The demention settings worked just fine but the dementions of what?  Hopefully someone can set me straight before I delete this because it claims to do just what I need. I didn't even want 1star but can't post without it.

### 2/5 — Reduces but....

*2013-12-10, version 3.4*

This app reduces pictures but the finished product is fuzzy.  Boo!  :-(

### 3/5 — Help

*2013-01-06*

Please help me! The app was great and stopped working after the last update. I deleted it and reloaded but it won't open.

### 4/5 — Simple and to the solution!

*2015-04-09*

A very fine and useful app. Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Keep your images proportional.

*2025-03-11*

I am constantly resizing pictures for frames. It makes it so easy when you know the exact measurements you’re working with and where you need to make editing decisions.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-02-06, version 3.6*

I use this to scale down. If I have a 30x40 canvas, what size should my sketch be in order to keep it to scale? This app is quick and easy to use! In the studio or out in the field. It’s absolutely great for what I use it for! Still love this app! I also now use it to scale up. If I’ve painted something small and want to blow up to large canvas but keep the scale, what size canvas do I need to buy? Works great!!
2/2025 been using this for yrs now!  Still love it! So easy to use!

### 5/5 — A great app becomes even better

*2021-06-01*

I work for a blueprint company and sign shop. We are always looking at size limitations imposed by the customers. This is the best answer to all the "what if it was" questions. Also the customer and I can see quickly how pixilated an image would become if it gets blown up too big without expensive graphic software. Some software developers go above and beyond, thank you for adding this great feature to an already amazing app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

### 5/5 — THIS IS THE BEST APP FOR SIZING IMAGES

*2019-05-19*

I've usually only,done reviews when prompted but I saw this only has 13 reviews when I went to reinstall it and HAD to review it because it is my GO-TO app to resize anything. It's SIMPLE EASY TO USE AND WORKS IN A SNAP! I can't believe it's only got 13 reviews, I've been using it for years and will never use anything else.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-03-22*

After 3 minutes I hadn't figured out how to export the scaled images and tried to give this a one-star rating, got asked for feedback and tried again -- found the image export.  The 200% enlargements are beautiful.  I don't really understand why anyone would want to just look at images that are 10 times bigger, but it doesn't matter.

### 5/5 — Perfect for my needs

*2017-01-18*

I have a project in which I have to rescale many photos for publication. Apparently my wheel calculator has been lost in the mist of time. This app easily provides the math which is all I wanted.

### 5/5 — an app that scales properly - LOVE IT

*2016-07-28*

Before I found this great app, I tried several that claimed to "resize" but, instead, "cropped."

Finally, I found this one!  Not only did the developers understand that "resizing" means "scaling" the entire photo without chopping off any of the sides, IN ADDITION, they understood the need to keep everything in proportion as it is being scaled.

It is exactly what is needed for quick resizing on the iPad.  Simple, fast, easy.

Note:  If you need to pick a specific interpolation method, you'll need an app with a fuller set of features, but for almost all of us, this app, is perfect.

### 5/5 — As good as the wheel!

*2016-02-25*

Round, white, plastic proportion wheels were often give-aways from Specialty Advertising companies. They were absolutely indispensable. They were marked with inches in mind and had base eight divisions. This app does it, and it does it with base 10 (decimal).

### 5/5 — Seconds?

*2014-07-30*

Second time downloading this, this time to my iPhone. Illustrator who can't live without it! ............:)
