Update The unlimited cut outs are still there you have to take extra steps to access them. You start by clicking on collage then select your picture then select background removal. **Developer response:** Dear user, thanks a lot for your feedback! We're so sorry for the inconvenience. You can always enjoy the unlimited coutout in Collart SE.

We're so sorry for the inconvenience. You can always enjoy the unlimited coutout in Collart SE.

To use after that it is almost SIXTY DOLLARS A YEAR!!! Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Entrapment *2022-12-16* Dumping the user in a dead end with no way out but looking at buying additional features is hardly fare and is definitely enraging. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-12-16* It will not access my photos. It’s in portrait mode, which, on iPad Pro takes up only 1/3 of available space, and thirdly, most of features are locked behind their subscription model. Just get Bazaart—it’s the best out there. ### 1/5 — What did I pay $9.99 for? *2022-10-23* So I'm limited to 3 cuts a day? ### 1/5 — le se le se le se *2022-04-28* le se ### 1/5 — FALSE advertised app. Save your time, other apps have background for free. *2022-04-17* Limited to 3 cuts. Sheeze, big deal, not free, forced to upgrade. I saw a review giving a work around. Time to support developers that tell the truth from get go instead of bait and switch operations. ### 1/5 — This app has limitations on photos number *2022-04-14* The app is limited to number of photos and after that you have to download the app with subscription Not recommended ### 1/5 — Backhanded *2022-04-12* App appears to be free with no IAP. Upon download one quickly realises that this is a ‘lite’ application for the paid version of the app, which it links the user to purchase at most button presses. This ‘free’ version is bare-bones and only allows three uses a day. Scummy tactic to get onto people’s phones ### 1/5 — More like a demo version *2022-04-12* Allows only three pictures a day. Seems to be a demo version but with a $10 price tag. **Developer response:** Dear user, thanks a lot for your feedback! We're so sorry for the inconvenience.

This SE upgrade took away the basic, unlimited background removal option, and the cost to subscribe to those features is ludicrously expensive. I think it said $49.99 for a certain number of months. What?🤯 Naturally, you can't go back to the last version, because Pro is gone. Did this app get bought out, or is this just a random price hike? If I want to subscribe to a full design suite, I would just go to Adobe. If this SE app wants to compete with PhotoRoom and Canva, the Premium price needs to come way down to their more reasonable rates. I'm disappointed in this extreme and unexpected change in direction for a once-handy design app. I hope the developers consider a competitive price to purchase the old Pro version. Because from my perspective, Premium is too expensive and offers advanced features that non-professional designers need or can afford. The SE version has nothing on Pro. And Premium is too costly. If you make Pro a purchase option for maybe $8.99, you'll make plenty of profit from three very different user tiers. **Developer response:** Dear user, thanks a lot for your feedback! We're so sorry for the inconvenience. You can always enjoy the unlimited coutout in Collart SE.

The composite set lacks only the ability to color correct correctly, but that’s clearly reserved for the pro version. It’s not worth $50 bucks yearly folks. $10 to $25 perhaps, but not $50. Your mileage may vary ### 5/5 — Constant Upgrade Prompt not Cool *2022-04-01* Every time I launch the app it prompts me about upgrading to Collart (another app with in-app purchases) which is annoying. And that’s exactly why the app doesn’t deserve more than one star despite the fact that overall functionality is pretty good. It’s hard to understand why developer calls the app Pro if they’re gonna literally force users to upgrade every time they launch the app. This app should be called Lite not Pro. Edit: Prompt is gone. Updated the rating. ### 5/5 — Love this app Cyvi126 *2021-12-31* This is my first time, I already love it. ### 5/5 — Excellent Application *2021-12-31, version 1.3.1* Very good 👍 👍 ### 5/5 — Very Good.. *2021-12-29, version 1.3.1* Don’t often leave reviews. This is a really good app. Lots of different ways of creating pics. Love the background eraser. ### 5/5 — Great Photo Collage App *2021-12-29* This app is amazing, many filters and layout designs, can make an ordinary photo stand out in so many ways, thanks to the developers! ### 5/5 — great     ​ *2021-12-23, version 1.3.0* Best app to erase the background for png ### 4/5 — Very good *2021-12-28* I like it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
