Creates beautiful images! *2021-04-15* I don’t get all the negative reviews for this app. I’ve had no problems with it at all. Within a few minutes of opening Silhouette, I had created several eye-catching gradient images made out of my photos. The only thing I don’t like is that the color pickers are the rgb color sliders. I’d prefer a color-wheel type of picker. The interface is kind of outdated. But that’s a minor thing. Otherwise it’s a fun little app! ### 1/5 — No photos work *2020-09-24* Can’t get ANY photos to work. Waste of time. **Developer response:** Thank you for using the app. I'm sorry about this problem. If you have iOS 14 installed on your device, try the following: 1. Select "Settings" -> "Privacy" -> "Photos" -> "Silhouette". 2. Select "All Photos" in "ALLOW PHOTO ACCESS". 3. Launch "Silhouette" and try again to get photo. ### 5/5 — Great developers/app *2020-08-05* Downloaded this app and was not satisfied at first but when I contacted the developers they were excellent. They responded back immediately, created the silhouettes for me and they turned out great. I would give this app a try for the sake of the hard working developers behind it. This app can only get better. ### 5/5 — かなり便利 *2019-05-26* 手描きの文字を画像として切り出して背景を透過処理したりできるのでとても便利。 色や模様もつけられるので、素人でも適当にいじってみればソレっぽい作品ができる。 ある程度仕組みを理解できたら自由自在。 無料版3ヶ月くらい使って有料に移行して1年くらい？経つけど不具合は一度もない。 (iPhone7 iOS最新) 広告がウザいってレビューあるけど240円くらい払えばいいのにって思う。 このレベルのアプリなら月額1000円くらい課金されても文句ないくらいなのに、買切り240円って安すぎるよ。 贅沢を言えば、いつかAndroid版も出してくれたら嬉しいです。 ### 5/5 — Best app for cricut users! *2018-10-31* I rarely rate apps but this app has helped me clean up images to upload into DS that I consider it a must have! Love it ### 1/5 — It’s OK but..... *2018-08-18* Could you update this so it can be used in landscape mode? It’s a real pain to have to take my Ipad off my keyboard whenever I want to use this app. Thx. ### 1/5 — なんやこれ？ *2018-05-25* 保存出来んし！ そして、広告うざ！ さらに、有料版進めてくんな！ ## Frequently asked questions about Silhouette ### What does the Silhouette app do?
