Please fix it so it works the way it did before. ### 1/5 — 功能与价格不符！ *2020-09-20* 软件功能效果太假了，完全不值得12元！！ ### 1/5 — Used to be amazing... *2020-03-24, version 2.0.0* I cannot load pictures anymore. Attempting to load pictures the program crashes back to the splash screen. I am using an iPhone 11 Pro. ### 5/5 — Adoro! *2019-10-05* Adoro mas não tá funcionando na última versão do IOS. Me ajudem!!! Não posso viver sem!! Ele fecha qdo abro, na nova atualização do iOS. ### 2/5 — Tá com problema no IO 13 *2019-10-05* O aplicativo fica ocultando metade da barra superior na nova atualização do iOS. 🙄 ### 5/5 — Unique *2019-09-21, version 2.0.0* This is a unique and essential app for iOS photo editing. I’ve used some version of this software by the same débrouiller for years: First Anti-crop, then Handy Photo. Handy Photo was not as good as Anti-Crop, but I’m 100% happy to say that Recrop restores the former glory of Anti-Crop, and more. It’s a great example of an app that does one thing, and does it well. Request: It would be nice to offer cross-editing capability if you own the other app, Retouch, without having to save to the Photo Library between edits. ### 5/5 — Nützlich Tools *2019-05-08* Klasse App für Bildverarbeitung. Benutze es häufig. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly good *2019-01-22* This worked incredibly well for me. I’m a fashion designer and I use it to extend the backgrounds of photos to fit in my Instagram feed. I can do the same thing using photoshop but it’s handy to have this app on my phone ### 5/5 — Use this if you shoot full frame! *2018-12-31, version 2.0.0* I’m a fairly pro photographer ( @daniel28.img ) And I often come across two problems. The main being Instagram not accepting full frame images without cropping, which can really ruin an image after I’ve spent hours editing. Also the simply act of flipping an image horizontally, yes I can easily do this with lightroom / photoshop but often I just want to click a button on my phone and now I can. I’ll be recommending this :) ### 5/5 — 好评 *2018-11-06* 简单好用，修图助手！ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Recrop Is Terrible *2026-03-21* iOS 18 broke Recrop. Please fix it so it works the way it did before. ### 1/5 — Ne marche plus *2024-08-09* Ne marche plus ### 1/5 — Can’t download a photo *2022-06-28, version 2.1.0* Well, I admit I am not a technological genius. However, I can select a photo to edit. Nothing happens. Just great. ### 1/5 — Don’t like new version BORD *2022-01-30, version 2.1.0* Don’t like grids, like the touch feature that edits and fills in stretched photo! Don’t understand grids! I like stretching or cropping the background without changing the contents! The new version you’re stretching everything! It’s not Recrop I don’t like,It’s the version on my iPad that you replaced Recrop with! Luckily I still have Recrop on my iPhone, but not on myIpad! I want Recrop back on my iPad, not BORD! ### 1/5 — 金返せ *2021-10-31* 全然使えない ☆ひとつもつけたくない 加工したくても、まず写真を選択することすら出来ない 詐欺だな。まじゴミアプリ。 **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you are having trouble selecting photos in the app. Would you please try giving access to your whole photo gallery by doing the following: Open the Settings app —> scroll down to find Recrop —> tap Photos —> select All Photos. That should solve the issue. ### 1/5 — ごみ *2021-10-07* 画像選択から全く動かず **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you are having problems with the app. Please kindly contact our Customer Support team to have the issue solved. ### 1/5 — App Won’t Work *2021-09-29, version 2.1.0* I have purchased the app and attempted to recrop, it will not allow me to select any of my photos. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Not able to select a picture *2021-07-15* The app doesn’t work as we can’t even select the picture **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear about the problem you have faced. Would you please kindly check whether you have allowed Recrop to access your whole photo gallery. Go to Settings, scroll down to find Recrop, tap Photos, and select the All Photos option. That should solve the problem. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2021-06-20* Very poor app, cannot even import photos. **Developer response:** Please accept our sincere apologies for such a delay in replying. We are sorry to hear about the problem you have faced. Would you please kindly check whether you have allowed Recrop to access your whole photo gallery. Go to Settings, scroll down to find Recrop, tap Photos, and select the All Photos option. That should solve the problem. ### 1/5 — 没有办法选择图片 *2021-01-27* 没有办法选择图片… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for making rectangular photos square *2025-03-04, version 2.1.0* I love how easy it is to turn a rectangular photo into a square when you have people on the sides who you can’t crop out. It fills in extra background at the top and bottom of the photo and looks very natural. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — 写真の枠を広げる。 *2024-10-16* インスタグラムやiPhoneの壁紙に設定する際に、「この写真、あと少しだけ上下が写っていたらいいのに」って時に便利です。自動生成で上下左右が広げられます。複雑な写真はクリーチャーを生んでしまう事もありますが、風景写真の空のエリアを広げるくらいなら使えます。 とても便利です。 ### 5/5 — Please update !👍 *2024-09-09* Please update ! ### 5/5 — Surreal *2023-01-06* Sem dúvidas é a melhor solução pra dispositivos móveis. O único que barra é o Adobe Photoshop com o recurso content-aware. Eu só acho que poderia ter um botão de recalcular pq as vezes não fica legal o resultado, então com esse botão ele reaplicaria o algoritmo com outros critérios, daí o usuário poderia ter varias opções de resultado. Não sei o grau de dificuldade técnica pra isso mas no mundo perfeito esse botão ia arrancar corações de te todo mundo. ### 5/5 — Not Working/ Now It Is *2022-01-21, version 2.1.0* I haven’t used this in a while but I always found it useful. Tried to use it today and it’s not working. I see no update. Is this not supported anymore? 1/3/2022 When it worked I would rate it 5 star, but today I can only give 1 star. Update … I tried again. The problem was my photos wouldn’t load. I took a look at the app in my Settings. I had chosen the option to only access selected photos. I changed that to All Photos. That made all the difference. I am very happy to say it now works as well as I remember. I particularly like to use Re-crop to expand a beautiful sky. I noticed there is an option after re-cropping to go to Retouch. I love Retouch and use it often. It is a perfect partner to edit your re-cropped photo a little for a more natural look if needed. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2021-11-20, version 2.1.0* An app I use automatically crops photos. My friend took a killer photo I was going to use but it was the wrong aspect ratio. This app totally saved the day! ### 5/5 — Superb *2021-09-24* What a brilliant app. Straightening without losing the edges any longer. I must admit I was skeptical. But the app does an amazing job of adding in details cut off. It seems like magic the way it is so accurate and the results so natural. ### 5/5 — Amazing app, badly needed an update *2021-01-15, version 2.1.0* Please update this amazing app with latest iOS. It doesn’t work now as it stays in the picture selection screen not allowing you to move to edit stage. ### 5/5 — Absolutely Essential *2020-07-13, version 2.1.0* After 10 years of creating content for major brands, I’m rarely surprised by software but Recrop is tremendous. The ability to quickly and accurately reframe according to several grid types is superb plus the fill feature is top notch A.I. I’m surprised by the tech but not surprised by ADVA Soft. They produce the best photography apps by far. Every influencer and content creator should be using their suites of apps imo. ### 5/5 — 起動できません *2020-01-28* 今まで使ってきて、これならも使いたいのですが最近アップデートしたら起動しなくなりました。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
