### 4/5 — Great App! But Needs A Makeover

*2026-08-13, version 5.7*

This is a great app. I use it to create profile photos for WhatsApp. It’s probably the only app here that let you control the output file size. But the app looks like it’s still in 1980s. It can look more attractive but it gets the job done.

### 1/5 — Freistellen nicht möglich

*2026-07-17*

Die App funktioniert mit iPhone sehr gut. Leider ist es (mir) nicht möglich, die runden Bilder frei zu stellen. Sie sind immer quadratisch eingebunden. Schade.

### 3/5 — Super was die App kann

*2026-05-14*

... aber leider sind die Werbungen extrem lang, wenn man die App nicht gekauft hat. 
Was extrem ist, die App kostete mal 5 Euro jetzt ist das bereits der 3 fache Preis ... ist das normal? Seltsam .. dann ists Abzockerei.

### 3/5 — Gar nicht schlecht

*2026-03-31*

Also die App tut was sie soll, leider finde ich das man auch mal an die Nachhaltigkeit denken sollte. Wenn man ein rundes Foto haben will das bloß 40mm im Durchmesser ist wird das Bild in die Mitte gesetzt 80% Verschnitt, keine Option 2 4 7 oder mehr zu wählen. Sollte das mal in Angriff genommen werden bin ich wahrscheinlich bereit den doch hohen Preis zu zahlen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Sie können mehrere Bilder auf einem Blatt mit unserer „Fotodruck“ App in der gewünschten Größe ausdrucken. Speichern Sie mit dieser App die runden Bilder ab und drucken Sie die bequem mit der anderen App. So können Sie auch verschiedene Bilder zusammen auf einem Blatt ausdrucken.

### 4/5 — Great App! PNG size is now so big that WhatsApp reduces its quality

*2026-02-25*

This is a great app. I use it to create profile photos for WhatsApp. Now the PNG size is now so big that WhatsApp reduces its quality. The saved photos used to be of decent size.

### 4/5 — snsなどのアイコン作成に便利

*2026-01-17*

機能はシンプルで簡単操作
アイコンの簡易作成には便利です

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-09-22, version 5.4*

Adoro esse aplicativo.

### 1/5 — Disrespectful Defensive Support

*2025-09-09, version 5.4*

UPDATE: The developer response is a cop out and not true. The app was functioning properly in the past and has recently started this issue after update. Nice try.

Recent updates caused the app to stop exporting properly. The PNGs stopped exporting with transparent backgrounds. I have been using the app for years and this is a new bug. I reported it and the developer got defensive and really rude with two-word answers and literally treated me like I didn't do it right. This guy does not deserve to have customers! There are better working apps without bugs and without egos.

### 2/5 — Gute App, aber nicht für den Preis

*2025-08-11*

Die App ist brauchbar, aber der Preis für Werbefreiheit ist gigantisch hoch. Schade, wieder deinstalliert.
