### 1/5 — Images don’t load.

*2024-08-31*

So that’s a REALLY big problem.

And when I tap + to create a new project it just loads a white background, the image select screen doesn’t reappear.

**Developer response:** Because the + creates a new document, then you have to tap on the “background” button on bottom left side of the screen to select an image.

### 3/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2023-10-21, version 3.0.7*

Helle dear . Please add curve write and more effects on app . Tnx

### 5/5 — Useful for me

*2022-07-28*

### 4/5 — Tahrir App

*2021-10-10, version 3.0.7*

### 5/5 — tahrir app

*2021-06-13, version 3.0.6*

its great app for type on photos
its have arabic fonts👌🏽👌🏽

### 2/5 — Very basic: but works

*2021-02-25*

The app works ok for the basics but not sure it does more than Apple’s Photo app’s editing functions.   

it offers. Candidly it is very basic = not a lot of creative alternatives to the basics (font, color, etc). It appears to excel at adding fonts, which some text-on-photo apps cannot do. But otherwise it seems that not much editing possible. 

A good basic effort but it needs more variety/options to go beyond what can be done with Apple’s native iOS Photos app.

**Developer response:** Dear E. The is not meant to manipulate images, it’s main function is adding fonts to an image.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2020-11-05, version 3.0.6*

Useless

### 1/5 — Can’t see any titles

*2020-11-05*

I just downloaded Tahrir. When I type, nothing shows up. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem?

**Developer response:** Hi,

Could you please send me a screenshot of what you doing? Send it to contact@tahrir.app

### 5/5 — مشکل رنگ

*2020-10-03, version 3.0.6*

### 5/5 — عالی!

*2020-09-28, version 3.0.6*
