Be transparent - the app is not usable without paying. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-04-25* Easy to use ### 1/5 — Requires a subscription *2025-04-25* Can’t use it without a subscription. The “free” version doesn’t go beyond the first step, then you are forced to start a 3-day trial (after agreeing to pay the monthly fee). ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-04-23* amazing app, so easy to use! ### 1/5 — No easy way to use free *2025-04-14, version 1.1.0* Deceiving ### 5/5 — Nice :) *2025-03-31* Skibidi ### 4/5 — Collage maker *2025-03-27* Easy to use. Great addition to my picture collection ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-05-26, version 1.1.6* Doesn’t even let stitch two pictures for free ### 1/5 — Thumbs Down *2026-03-10* Asked me to rate and review before I could even try to use the app. Then bullies me to sign up for a “full access” subscription but you actually can’t do ANYTHING at all without paying $40 after three days. I literally make like two simple collages a year, that so defines not worth that crazy price. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-03-10, version 1.1.6* Saw people saying this is free but wants me to sub to a free trial, uninstalled ### 1/5 — Free tier useless and a duplicate of another app *2025-12-14, version 1.1.4* This app is exactly the same as PicMerger and I’m not sure why that’s allowed. The free tier also lets you do absolutely nothing as you must sign up for a plan to make even the most basic collage. Worthless and sketchy. ### 1/5 — Nothing Free *2025-07-01, version 1.1.1* Free to download but not to do anything. Beware the first rating request where it says “it helps keep the app free” because from what I could tell even creating a first collage couldn’t be done without a weekly subscription. ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-06-11, version 1.1.1* Literally says help us keep it free by reviewing us and then proceeds to offer a 3 day trial and $4.99/week ### 1/5 — Another subscription *2025-05-26, version 1.1.1* Says free, but then it’s a 4.99 subscription. ### 1/5 — Not what you’re looking for - Zero features until you pay *2025-05-25, version 1.1.1* App is useless unless you pay. ### 1/5 — Posing as free app but its not *2025-05-21, version 1.1.1* Downloaded as even before started using the interface asked for review. Started first task and usual tactics asking for money. Uninstalled right away. Poor experience. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-05-16* Honestly hate these types of apps. Says it’s free, reviews say it’s free, then download and immediately get asked to subscribe for a free 3 day trial then becoming $4.99 per week. Ok, I’ll accept and cancel straight away. As I go to accept the price changes to $7.99 per week. Whatever I’m cancelling anyway. Then I actually accept and I get charged $19 immediately. How in the world do they get away this? Drives me nuts! Do not recommend, don’t care if the app is any good! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy! *2026-02-02, version 1.1.5* Finally an app that’s easy and quick to figure out!! ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2026-01-24* An easy to use app that does a great job on those occasions when you want to create a montage. ### 5/5 — No Free *2025-11-19* Had to pay as soon as i sighted app. ### 5/5 — Iekekd *2025-10-05, version 1.1.3* Ukeke we ### 5/5 — Navigating my way around app *2025-10-02* So far all I’ve managed to do is add the pics lol will review as I progress ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2025-08-30* 10 estrelas ### 5/5 — Gets the job done *2025-06-10* Easy ui and does everything it promises. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-05-15* Amazing love it ### 5/5 — Best photo collage ever *2025-05-10, version 1.1.0* Best photo collage ever ### 5/5 — Babies *2025-05-02* Love this I have been able to compare the looks of my 21 yr old granddaughter to my newly born grandson oh what a blessing it is and Free Grid Matic makes it possible THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
