### 2/5 — Do not pay for it

*2018-10-23*

So you pay for it thinking you will get different framing. You only get two resize options. 
Even though you paid for it they aggressively place their “qballons” watermark!  Remove watermark

**Developer response:** What you paying for is the 'add frame'. Making it possible to put three frames in a row, to make a small story. The resize option is there from the start. I will submit an update that make this clearer fore the user. Thanks for pointing that out.
