### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-10-24, version 6.0.1*

New update is a game changer, possibilities feel endless. Been using this forever and will use it even more now!

### 5/5 — LOVE THE UPDATE!!!

*2026-10-24, version 6.0.1*

y’all! this is my ✨favourite app✨ to make my funny lil edits. Love the new editions and thank you for not letting it fall into obscurity!  Super Rad and check it out new peeps!!

2026: AMAZING UPDATES!!!!!

💖💖💖

### 1/5 — Regret

*2026-10-23, version 6.0.1*

I regret updating this.

### 4/5 — Crashes

*2026-10-23, version 6.0*

Have loved this app for yrs but the new update makes it crash constantly

### 1/5 — New update is convoluted

*2026-10-23, version 6.0*

This has been my go-to photo and collage app, but this new update makes this app much harder to use. Y’all could’ve added stuff without changing the layout we were used to that didn’t require a ton of scrolling. Why should I need to scroll several times to lock a layer? Why should I need to scroll at all? New is messy. Won’t be renewing my pro subscription and I’ve been a pro member since 2021.

Also, if you’re going to force us to have EVERY sticker pack, make them easier to navigate. SO MUCH SCROLLING. A search option would’ve been helpful? I don’t know. Edits I’ve been making on r4ve have been like a little journal for me and now it’s just frustrating and feels impossible when I used to be able to put an edit together in no time. Now I spend the same amount of time scrolling.

### 1/5 — Update :(

*2026-10-22, version 6.0*

I’ve been using this editor since I was in highschool and today was the day the update hit I guess… idk how to feel about it, I’m going to have to relearn the whole format and it’s making me sad now.

### 2/5 — Dude, the update?  Seriously

*2026-10-21, version 6.0*

I *USED TO* 
love this app but the “ 6.0” 
  But now it’s genuinely difficult to find what I’m looking for in backgrounds and stickers. I don’t want to have to scroll past the locked ones every time I want to use it. That’s actually mid.there isn’t any other mood board app that has good choices like this one but the update sucks so bad it  Makes me not want to use it. Biggest regrets updating it. Which I only did thinking it would have newer free sticker packs. It doesn’t. 
Also It makes creating a mood board SO much more difficult. So much tapping back and forth it’s no longer a seamless process or experience. Also now the stickers are so sensitive they tend to grow in size easier than being able to move where you want. PLEASE FIIXXX 🥺🥺☹️💔  because why is it like this:( 

I am homeless and this is literally my only creative outlet. I am so devastated

### 4/5 — Such an amazing app!

*2026-10-16, version 5.0*

Truly one of my favorites.I’ve used this app for years. I just wish it could be resized for optimal tablet usage!

### 5/5 — Great apl

*2026-09-25, version 5.0*

Lots of good stuff like stickers, and their photo editor is really easy to use!

### 5/5 — It’s great try it

*2026-07-31, version 5.0*

I use it for everything. Thanks R4VE, I love u.
