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!!!! ### 4/5 — Really useful *2017-01-22, version 2.2* Great little app for editing as it creates (png) files with no square background behind the shape ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-07-09, version 2.2* Very useful for editing ### 4/5 — Needs an update *2014-11-10, version 2.1* Fantastic app, but having problems with it crashing and not working on iPhone 4s ### 5/5 — Great app helps *2014-07-29, version 2.1* I personally think this app is great. I have an account on Instagram and Ike to "stamp" my photos with my profile pic, but I needed to crop the border so it was not a white square all around the icon and this app finally lets to crop it right!!! ### 3/5 — Poor Image Quality *2013-11-26, version 2.0* It's one of the only apps I've found that does what it does, but there's a big quality drop after cropping. You also cannot change the aspect ratio of the shapes. Fix those issues and it's five stars in my opinion. ### 4/5 — Needs to be more customizable *2013-09-21, version 1.1.2* I really wish we could bend the shape cut-outs to exactly what we need. ### 2/5 — Needs some work *2013-09-20, version 1.1.2* I like the concept but 1 i want to be able to conform and stretch the shape to how i want it exactly and not just resizing it on my photo and 2 it makes the quality of my photo go way down. I'd love it if those two things were fixed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No transparency *2022-01-24* Shape is just against a white square background. Not impressed ### 1/5 — Awful *2019-09-18, version 2.3.2* Can’t even save a picture ### 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! ### 1/5 — Later updates *2018-11-30, version 2.3.2* Used to work great - not anymore though, used to lock-in the shape and allow you to adjust the size only; now my perfect circle turns into an oval in one adjustment. Going to find a different app. ### 1/5 — Piece of junk *2016-10-10, version 2.2* It makes all of my pictures blurry. Don't waste your time. Try another app ### 1/5 — Doesn't work. *2016-06-22, version 2.2* You can't actually resize a photo so it fits within the shape. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2014-11-21, version 2.1* This app keeps freezing when I start it. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2014-04-26, version 2.1* It freezes every time I open the app. Ugh ### 2/5 — Lowers Image Quality *2018-06-29, version 2.3.2* Works like how I wanted to but also lowered the picture quality. Won’t be using this app again. ### 2/5 — No *2014-03-02, version 2.0* Really bad picture quality. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! 𝗜 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗗‼️‼️‼️ ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great for cropping round images! *2017-10-29, version 2.3* I've been looking for an app that crops round image with transparent background-this works excellent! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-04-03, version 2.2* Would love to see iCloud backup as a paid option! ### 5/5 — FINALLY! *2016-10-28, version 2.2* THANK YOU! I have been searching for an app for making my pictures into circle shapes to make buttons. This did the trick without all of the fluff. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2016-01-08, version 2.2* Exactly what I needed.😊 ### 5/5 — Great app! Get it! *2015-08-25, version 2.2* So cute and a great app! ### 5/5 — LOVE! *2014-09-23, version 2.1* amazing app! :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
