### 5/5 — 簡単操作で素晴らしいApp

*2022-08-30*

いつも愛用しています。簡単な操作で枠をつけることができるのでとても重宝しています。

前回の枠幅と色記憶できるプリセット機能が有ればなお良いと思います。
さらに複数枚の写真を同時に書き出すことが出来れば完璧なのですが…

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2021-12-28*

Goes no further than the splash screen on my iPhone XS Max.

### 3/5 — 色味が変わる😟

*2020-03-17*

簡単に枠が付けられて気に入っているのですが､保存すると元画像と比べて色味が微妙に変わってしまいます。
どうにかならないでしょうか？

### 2/5 — cropped video

*2019-12-01, version 1.4.5*

When I record a video on my phone, and then crop it, so it's 1 minute long, i try to put it in a square with this app i get the uncropped video (it's longer than 1 minute) altough i saved the cropped 1 minute long video in my gallery
why??

### 4/5 — バグ？

*2019-10-10*

とっても好きなアプリですが、iPhoneの写真に保存できなくて困っています。正常に保存しましたと出るのに、保存されていません、なんででしょうか？

### 1/5 — What is this man 😳😳

*2019-09-11, version 1.4.2*

How to save the video???

### 5/5 — スマホ内画像を読み取る時の並び

*2018-12-24*

スマホ内の画像を読み取る時に並び順番は撮影時間になっているそうです。スマホと同じ順番に並ぶことが選べたらいいなと思います。

### 4/5 — アプリは良いのに…

*2018-12-19*

アプリ自体はとても使いやすくて "★5つ" なのに、保存した後に出てくる広告が本当にうっとうしいので "★4つ" です。

### 5/5 — روعه
