Easy to use but also looks great. Any day enough good things about it **Developer response:** Love that. Thanks for the note! ### 5/5 — Eficiente *2022-11-22, version 1.12* La app realmente hace el trabajo de publicar más de una foto en IG sea más fluido. ### 5/5 — Simple and sophisticated *2022-11-22* Can’t recommend this app enough. Makes resizing and bordering easier without any loss in quality when uploading. The options in sequencing your work in a single frame is addictive and keeps my creativity up. This process makes for a great preview for when I actually print my images, also! **Developer response:** We couldn't ask for a better review! Love hearing that it's used in all those ways. ### 5/5 — Favorite photo border app *2022-11-18, version 1.12* Helpful support in the past and love what I can get from it for my photos ### 5/5 — Really nice app *2022-11-08, version 1.11* Really smooth, works well and Appreciable to use. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2022-06-16, version 1.11* Works as intended, super easy to use with lots of functionality. ### 5/5 — Great Composites! *2022-01-28* The “Free Version” is pretty limited, yet works great and was enjoyable to try. I was able to accomplish some pretty complex things in just a few seconds. I can see myself making the purchase. **Developer response:** So glad you're enjoying it! ### 5/5 — Must have *2022-01-01* This app provides a clean, simple, and unique way to present your photographs. It has really helped me create a uniformed look for my work. **Developer response:** That's fantastic! We love knowing that the app is being put to good use. ### 5/5 — great *2021-10-11, version 1.11* really great simple app ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-04-26, version 1.11* Fantastic app ### 5/5 — Great layout app! Needs more features! *2021-04-25* I love this app and how easy it makes it to create layouts. I’m even a subscriber (something I rarely do). But I wish the app had 2 features that would truly make it sing: 1. A Projects feature: that allows you to save your particular layout and just replace the photos. Instead, now I have to recreate it from scratch. 2. A Switch command that allows switching the photos already chosen on a layout. Thanks for your consideration. **Developer response:** Thank you! Great feedback. A few tips: 1. The Templates feature gets close to this, maybe not exactly what you're asking for but definitely a time saver. 2. You can! Tap a photo then tap 'Change Photo' to replace it. I hope that helps! Get in touch if those don't solve your problems (you can use the 'feedback' link in app or message on Instagram) ### 5/5 — favorite photo app! *2021-04-18, version 1.11* best way to share photos on social media! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2021-04-18, version 1.11* Been using it quite a bit! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No lifetime license *2025-07-16, version 2.3.0* Great app, but without the option to purchase a lifetime license for a one time fee, I can’t recommend this to anyone. ### 1/5 — Another app ruined by greed *2023-09-30, version 2.3.0* Features that were once free now gated behind a paywall. Nothing wrong with monetizing an app, but do it by adding value, not by making the app actively worse for existing/non-converted users. ### 1/5 — Update Broke App *2023-03-13, version 2.2.1* The app crashes now anytime I do anything. ### 1/5 — Glitches & Hitches *2023-02-25, version 2.1.4* I used this app all the time and it was great, but with the new version I have had so many issues - it freezes on me and I find the new options much more confusing and less user friendly than the original version. I also paid for a yearly plan for £11.49 but when the app froze the only solution I felt was to delete the app and reload it but when I did this I was asked to subscribe again and this time only offered £1.99 per month plan which is quite a bit more than before and potentially I might be charged twice. So confused and frustrated that the app doesn’t seem to be functioning as well as before and hope this can be resolved - because when the app does work it’s great. ### 2/5 — Really limiting if you don’t pay. *2020-11-18, version 1.10.1* Really disappointing how it’s a subscription-based payment system and not a one time fee, doesn’t let you put more than two images together (what’s the point) without paying. Waste of time. ### 2/5 — Needs one-time purchase option *2020-06-01, version 1.6.2* There’s no way I’m going to pay a subscription fee for such a simple app. ### 3/5 — Good app *2024-06-20, version 2.3.0* Very best app to use ### 3/5 — Fantastic minus one needed feature… *2023-12-24, version 2.3.0* Series is fantastic for polishing social media content and I use it daily. One feature I’d really love to see added is Metadata. Add this one feature and Series be an instant winner every time. ### 3/5 — New UI is confusing *2022-12-29* I like the app but it’s simplicity is gone. Now there are too many options and it’s not intuitive to use. The change was too drastic and things need too many taps to get stuff done. I’m disappointed by this new confusing layout. **Developer response:** Thanks for the note, and sorry you're not digging the update. Is there a workflow you're finding difficult now? Get in touch via the feedback channels in-app and I'd be happy to help. ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing *2025-01-13, version 2.3.0* Looks great, works great. Such a pleasure to use! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — For everything! *2024-12-01, version 2.3.0* I love this app for organising my photos into sets! The file quality on export is fantastic! ### 5/5 — Nothing short of wonderful *2024-03-19* Love love love this app. It’s simple, yet powerful. It’s inexpensive & packed with value. I’d happily pay double the price for this app. I use it as a finishing touch before sharing my photos to VSCO & Instagram. TY to the developer for making such a useful & intuitive app. ### 5/5 — Terrific App *2023-11-13, version 2.3.0* Love this little app. It puts the finishing touch to my workflow. Have to mention too, tech support is outstanding! ### 5/5 — Really useful! *2023-09-08, version 2.3.0* What a fantastic app! There’s lots of customisation you can do on here to really help display your photos well, with a range of different templates to choose from and it’s really quite intuitive. Highly recommended if like me, you regularly take a lot of photos. ☺️ ### 5/5 — I love this app!! *2023-07-29, version 2.2.5* Highly recommended for reformatting photos for instagram, great for panos, conforming different aspect ratios into one sequence, it’s powerful, easy to use and just so handy. Love it. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2023-07-10, version 2.2.5* This is the first photo app in forever that makes me want to wade through my archives for captures that make the most of this clever tool! It’s easy to use (but still has functions I haven’t explored yet), thoughtful, (adjustable margins, frames, and background colours) so many controls to let you display your work as you imagined it, not in some ratio or format that just doesn’t work. Brilliant! ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-07-08* I have been using Canva to frame all my pictures for Instagram, and use Photoshop before that, and this app makes it way easier, faster, while still delivering a Chris clear picture. It’s a game changer. **Developer response:** So glad to hear it! Thank you ### 5/5 — Dream come true! *2023-01-28* So many things to love about this app! One of the best things though, is the creator’s attention to detail and his commitment to make this app better for fellow creators out there. **Developer response:** Thank you, this made my day! ### 5/5 — The best! *2022-12-12, version 2.0.1* I went on a hunt for an easy way to add not only a white background but also a black border. Series does it in 2 seconds. It’s perfect. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
