DO NOT BUY

One word awful it does not work like described and also controls= no good

Rip off do not buy

All pics open upside down. Controls unreliable, lots of bugs and errors, no detail to cutout. Very un user friendly. I would give it zero stars if I could.

useless and buggy

For starters, all pictures open upside down and there is no way to fix it. The only option would be to save your image upside down before loading it here.

None of the menu controls work reliably, you may have to tap on three or four back and forth several times before one will finally work.

Once you are able to start building an outline, it sort of works if you do not have much in the way of detail, but it is not even close to what you can more easily do with Photoshop tools such as the magnetic lasso.

Save your money and avoid the aggregation. Don't buy this.

So far..

Not so easy to use. Step by step directions are at the end of the help post, but they are not detailed enough. I will keep trying as I like the goal of the app

Very Good

Love this app, does one thing....lifts photo elements to use in collage. Definitely not perfect, a little buggy and has started to crash of late, but still the best at what it does. Hope problems fixed soon.
