### 1/5 — Pay to use

*2023-01-17*

You literally can’t do anything without having to pay almost $4 a week

### 1/5 — Deceptive and sleazy

*2023-01-01*

Looked like it had promise.
Downloaded. Selected template. Selected photos.... Not so fast!
Pop up that takes my screen hostage requiring me to purchase at $3.49/week or free trial.
Tell people what they're walking into at point of purchase. Not after opening the app.
Good riddance.

### 1/5 — Lol insane price

*2022-07-23, version 2.2*

The app is great but they’re completely nuts with the price . You want more for this app than Adobe wants for the creative suite . Don’t be ridiculous

### 1/5 — Share All Photos or Else

*2022-07-14*

I was initially given the option to select photos or share all.  After choosing select photos it showed a lock image saying for a better experience allow access to all photos and I could not continue beyond there unless I did.

### 1/5 — Lisa Barnes

*2022-03-06*

Day three of trying to get a response from the app support. I want to cancel before my free week is up. This is ludicrous. I don’t recommend this app at all. I would’ve rated it lower but one was the lowest that I could go. I wish they had a -5.

### 1/5 — Con

*2022-01-27*

This app should cost at most £1 for it. Not £3.50 a week subscription. Literally a pound to buy the thing would be fair enough. What a money making con.

### 1/5 — Perfectly Adequate But…

*2022-01-22, version 2.2*

This app is easy enough to use and did what I needed to compare photos… BUT $3.49 PER WEEK to keep it on my phone? That’s adds up to $181.40 per year! No thank you.

### 1/5 — App never worked from the start

*2022-01-12*

Froze when choosing the layout.  Deleted.

### 1/5 — How to cancel subscription?

*2021-12-03, version 2.2*

I did not intend to buy a subscription but do not see any place to cancel it! Please tell us how to cancel or cancel for me. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2021-11-16, version 2.2*

Why do you need access to all my photos? I can add some but no all. I wont give you that permission. Garbage.

### 1/5 — Don’t fall for it!

*2021-09-17, version 2.2*

This app is nothing special and it is (in MY opinion) banking on the hopes that you will either forget to cancel or don’t know how to cancel it, prior to the end of the trial period. 

After that, it will charge you $3.49 PER “WEEK”, for this basic crap! That’s approximately $15.18 per month, EVERY MONTH (using my own math) for this crap, given that there are approximately 4.35 weeks within a month.  

I actually put in an order to cancel, prior to the end of the trial period, but don’t know what happened.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2021-09-17, version 2.2*

Misleading as heck

### 1/5 — DONT WASTE UR TIME ON THIS

*2021-09-16, version 2.2*

Takes u through all the steps until right before you make the collage it tells you that you need a subscription.

### 1/5 — Useless without upgrade

*2021-08-28*

Cannot use app without upgrading. Useless unless you subscribe.

### 1/5 — DON’T GET IT

*2021-06-25, version 2.2*

There are plenty of free side by sides that make you watch an Ad. These guys mark it as free but make you pay before you can get even one picture! TOTAL SCAM!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2021-06-02, version 2.2*

They want to charge for a single photo. Pass.

### 1/5 — Deleting now

*2025-11-22*

On the second attempt to select photos, it tried to force me to open settings and allow it unfettered access to my photo library. There was no way to close that pop up. Not sure what they’re up to, but no thanks.

### 1/5 — Pay wall

*2024-11-13*

You are required to pay in order to use this app. You hit a pay wall immediately as soon as you select your photos. They say their app is cheap in comparison to competitors; however, that is completely false. Search up “photo collage” and you’ll find a ton of free ones without a pay wall

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2023-11-14*

Costs money, however if you just screenshot the image you made before the pay options come up it works for free! But ultimately don't get it.

### 1/5 — I’m sorry, WHAT?

*2023-09-27, version 2.2*

Clickbait. This crap is more expensive than Spotify. $3.49/week is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Paywalled

*2023-08-14, version 2.2*

App is no longer functional unless you want to pay. Move on.

### 1/5 — Only paid…. Lame

*2023-08-05, version 2.2*

There are so many apps that offer same functionality for free. Don’t get this.

### 1/5 — Too expensive !!!

*2023-05-28, version 2.2*

No app should be $3.50 per week

### 1/5 — App convinces you it’s free until it’s not

*2023-05-24*

Right up until you’re literally about to edit, then it tell you you have to subscribe. Terrible developers, they knew what they were doing.

### 1/5 — Cancellation

*2023-05-08, version 2.2*

I have no idea how to cancel… doesn’t tell you how.

### 1/5 — Abandoned app

*2023-02-18*

There are countless collage apps both free and paid (around £9.99/year) that do exactly what this app does. £3.50 is probably an attempt to sound cheap… but this would be £181 a year!

You can’t even resize frames within each grid.

Last update was two years ago so even the developer has given up. Don’t waste your money.

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-11-26, version 2.2*

Good

### 3/5 — Cancel trail?

*2021-04-19*

App works fine, just can’t figure out how to cancel trail. How do you cancel trail?

### 3/5 — Don’t recommend

*2020-12-31*

Ohhhhhh baby don’t get this app it gives everything you need until you hit that check mark and then YOU HAVE to pay subscription 3. 49 a WEEK don’t recommend I hate this app so much.

**Developer response:** Hello! A subscription is required in order to pay developers and designers. The price of the app is low relative to competitors. We've made the app as user-friendly as possible. You can try it for free for a week to see if it suits you. Good luck🤟

### 2/5 — Not happy with the use of the app.

*2026-06-02*

Seems to change the size of my pictures of its own choosing. 
I have to resize them meaning they are off in size.
Not sure what I am doing wrong.

### 2/5 — Great app, obviously absolutely absurd pricing

*2024-09-09*

This app is great but the pricing is obviously completely absurd, why would I pay more for this than I do for the Adobe photo suite? This app just puts pics beside eachother. 

Every time I need to use this app I just sign up for the week trial and cancel immediately. 

 If they set their pricing to something reasonable like a 4 or 5 dollars a year , I’d subscribe

### 2/5 — You have to pay!

*2022-04-04*

I downloaded this app for free. Once I created my two picture collage it immediately asked me to pay or have a free trial. I hit the button for the free trial and it did nothing. Deleted the app immediately.

### 2/5 — Subscription necessary

*2020-04-14*

You can’t actually do anything without the subscription..

### 2/5 — Terrible/no Instructions.

*2020-03-31*

I combined, then “saved?” Two pictures and can’t find them anywhere!

**Developer response:** You can find your collage in the photo library. Good luck😎
