### 5/5 — ABSOLUTELY AMAZING‼️‼️

*2023-03-26, version 2.4.2*

Despite any poor reviews, this app is exactly what you need! Well, that does depend on what you’re looking for! This app offers quite a bit for a FREE app! It has ADs, of course! However, they aren’t those annoying ones, with incredibly snall ❌ buttons! I got an add for Google, and the ❌ button popped up in UNDER 5 seconds! This app, is EASY to use, and is PERFECT for cropping photos to a circle! It has MANY other options for shapes to crop too as well! It also applies a transparent background, so only what’s inside your shape is seen! I made my YouTube logo (using this app, and Canva)! It looks amazing! I owe it all to this app! My YouTube career and any other business venture that I use my logo for is ALL owed to this app! I really hope to see more edit options. However, this app doesn’t lie! The title conveys its main use, and its main use is EXACTLY what it claims! It is EASY, FREE, and absolutely INCREDIBLE!

### 5/5 — Simple and perfect

*2022-07-11, version 2.4.2*

I needed to crop a picture to an oval shape. After trying to go it manually (according to web searches) and scouring apps, ShapeClipper did exactly what I needed in 3-4 simple steps. Definitely made my task easier without any additional charges. Thank you!

### 1/5 — No transparency

*2022-01-24*

Shape is just against a white square background. Not impressed

### 4/5 — yuh

*2020-05-14, version 2.3.2*

pretty epic, and i like how it has funky fresh shapes

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-09-18, version 2.3.2*

Can’t even save a picture

### 3/5 — BIG FAT WASTE OF TIME

*2019-05-22, version 2.3.2*

Terrible app. NO FREE FUNCTIONALITY WHATSOEVER. I wasted a bunch of time cropping my photo and getting it just right only to try exporting it and realizing that it doesn’t even export in the shape you preselected! It still exports with squared corners! Absolutely pointless and not even worth a download unless you’re going to pay, but I wouldn’t pay for this crap, if the rest of the app follows suite.

EDIT: Does in fact sort-of work. Export controls are confusing. Took a couple minutes for iPad to remove corners from render with was weird. Also you can’t resize the size of the shape you want to crop. There’s only preset sizes.

### 3/5 — 😊

*2019-04-06, version 2.3.2*

Something that will make this app even better would be adding more free shapes including a batman shape as well. Please make an update soon. It's been so long since the last time this app has been updated please update already. Please please please please!!!!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-03-09, version 2.3.2*

No instructions on what/how to work this app. From what I TRIED doing, which was simply cropping and resizing a pic, was a hot mess. I still can’t even figure out how to save it. Waist of 30 mins fumbling around with this “App”. Don’t waste your time too!

### 5/5 — Why pay for apps to have circle shaped pictures?!

*2019-02-01, version 2.3.2*

This is free and easy to operate, would 100% recommend😃

### 5/5 — As A Virtual Badge Maker

*2018-12-06, version 2.3.2*

This app has a number of shape options. I use it to make virtual (circle) badges and it does so effortlessly.
