### 1/5 — Sheit

*2026-06-10, version 6.1.1*

Doesn’t work at all

### 5/5 — 为什么更新之后只有几十张相片！！！

*2026-05-02*

没有更新新版本之前相册相片能全部显示，更新新版本之后相册相片只能解析几十张，原本相册相片有一万多张，希望作者能解决一下这个BUG

### 5/5 — Abandoned

*2025-09-20*

Stay away from

### 3/5 — 還是很多bug

*2024-11-28, version 5.0.0*

我只用了一天 第二天就卡住罷工了

### 3/5 — Need album access

*2024-07-16, version 5.0.0*

Need “Album” access to select *only* those in album for making pixel art.

### 1/5 — crashing

*2024-05-12, version 5.0.0*

no useful

### 2/5 — This is disappointing

*2024-05-08*

I've had this for 5 minutes and it's crashed twice. I haven't even been able to render the most recent photo in my camera roll that it defaulted to, nor was I able to take a gander at any settings. I love mosaics and photomosaics but have never encountered an app that works.

### 2/5 — 一直闪退

*2024-05-08, version 5.0.0*

一直闪退？这是哪门子修复？

### 1/5 — Great app but important question

*2024-05-08*

This app is great but why the “hide logo” option answers in Japanese and what is the purpose of this option? Please explain. I hope is not spyware or something.

### 3/5 — Need more control

*2024-05-08*

I have over 20,000 photos. I do not want to use my entire camera roll for a collage and have to manually remove thousands of dumb pictures that have nothing to do with the base picture
