### 2/5 — Can't save unless you make in-app purchase

*2017-06-10*

There are several major flaws in this app that keep me from giving it a higher rating.  But I can use it to give me some raw edits that I can (hopefully) tweak elsewhere.

First, you get ads in this initial version, which won't go away until you make the in-app purchase; nor can you save any edited images until you buy the app.  It only cost me $1.99, but there is no clue about that until you actually try to save something.

Next, when you repeatedly hit save, while editing a single image, every saved image is the same!  It only saves the most recent changes to ALL of the images, instead of having several iterations of edits saved.  The only way around this is to bring in a new copy of the photo to edit, save those edits and repeat. 

Turning off "background" is misleading.  Instead of blocking the background of the image itself, it brings in whatever pattern is showing outside the image, so that it is now superimposed across the entire image. Not useful!  

Selecting the far right "Image" button in Background or Save mode is supposed to allow you to be able to add a preferred pattern to the image.  But it doesn't just go in the background, it goes over the entire image.  And once selected, it can NOT be reversed!  There is no way to even make it "none"!  The best you can do is to bring a new copy of the original image in, to be edited all over again.

Lastly, the user manual is simplistic at its best.  Super short statements, suffering from poor language translation.  No real depth of explanation.  A tutorial for newbies wouldn't hurt, either.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-06-04*

this is an awesome. glad I found it, and it's free!

### 3/5 — whoop de whoop

*2016-04-03, version 1.6*

i definitely don't use it for wattpad covers what and it's definitely not useful for instagram edits what are you talking about lol yeah i like the app

### 3/5 — Great app, but needs work

*2016-01-06*

This app has great potential. However, the "remove background" option never works. It saves with a white background no matter what I choose. Please fix this, and I will give 5 stars. Also, it would be nice to have some editing tools. At least an eraser to remove parts of the image.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2015-12-12, version 1.6*

Its a good app gets what I want done, good for removing backgrounds and simple editing

### 2/5 — Good but crashes all the time!!!

*2015-11-14, version 1.6*

The app's got good potential but it crashes all the time and loses all the work....

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2015-07-12*

This app is really cool and it's free! I love it and thank you! This will definitely take my creativity up a notch and then some!

### 5/5 — Huh

*2015-06-27*

Surprised this app didn't have any reviews. I think the effects are really cool. Worth a DL for free

使い方も分かりやすく、とても重宝しています。開発者様に感謝です！

### 1/5 — Not free

*2022-09-04, version 2.3*

Definitely a scam and it’s not even free when your about to save it and everyone pls don’t fall for it

### 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.

### 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！

### 1/5 — Im annoyed...

*2017-01-29*

I made the in-app purchase and lost the app but had to get a new appleId for security. It says to use the old apple ID... you cant even do that. Im not trying to get abytging for free . It should still be in my purchase history... get it together..

### 1/5 — Won't down load

*2016-06-04, version 1.6*

And it's stuck can't remove it and I've hard rebooted and it's still there! Had to wipe everything of my pad to get rid of your app wasn't happy😡

### 1/5 — なんかおかしいよ

*2015-09-19*

友達と同じ画像で同じ操作しても違う画像が浮かんでくるんだけど

### 2/5 — Bad interface, no ‘undo’ button

*2021-11-19*

Unless I missed it

### 2/5 — Can't open pictures

*2018-05-07*

Unable to own a picture to edit. Says it can't be downloaded from the photo album :(

### 2/5 — Fewer Features

*2017-10-18, version 1.9*

The features listed in the images and description aren't all present in the actual app. I downloaded specifically for the pattern feature which isn't even an actual feature. Instant uninstall.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-08-03*

If you’re a T-shirt designer with zero art skills this app well hello you step your game up… it’s amazing and has been a blessing to me… it help me to design original content I couldn’t imagine and helped me develop a name for myself… I absolutely love this app and don’t know what I’d do without

### 5/5 — Fun app! 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!

### 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

### 5/5 — Does the job

*2017-10-31, version 1.9*

Not sure why so many bad reviews? Does the job. Can’t find any other apps better for this purpose.

### 5/5 — すごいいい

*2017-10-16*

めちゃくちゃ使いやすい。
有料版かいました。

### 5/5 — Great!

*2016-10-22*

This did exactly what it promised. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Like this Developer

*2016-07-04*

Lately I had bad experience with apps, frustrating designs, full of bugs and pushing their other apps too much. This app totally is different, does what they tell you the app will do, no apparent bugs, I'll buy from them more features and I'll seriously try their other apps. Improvements sure, but I got this one free and works well, does why I'm giving a five stars, I'm sure that they will improve but we need to support them..

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for...

*2016-06-09*

...well close enough to it. This app allows you to take pictures (or choose from camera roll) and covert them into what looks similar to a wireframe image. But it doesn't end there. You can manipulate the wire color, background color (RGB or gradient), transparency, and a lot more. This is a very fresh app. A unique tool for creativity.
