It’s fun to make them nails into funny little things that little cute stickers and in general the game is amazing. But this happened recently today I tried joining the app, but it just takes me back to my home screen. I don’t know what’s happening so someone could help me please help I tried going on Google to do things. I almost tried everything nothing’s working. Please help but I still really like the game. ### 4/5 — Heya, you’re pretty gooda! *2026-01-10, version 1.50.4* Wow, this has many of the neat features and content needed to make the best thumbnails! You know, what’s even weirder is that, for advertising example thumbnails like the ones in the photos, I’ve made eye-catching MrBeast inspired thumbnails on a lower level, using the power of the layer component! Boosts my rating up more from experience! My only minor complaint is that you have to redo the watermark removal process and it can be annoying at times. ### 3/5 — Grid needed *2025-08-02, version 1.50.4* It’s good, but add an option to make a grid. ### 3/5 — Good but you have to pay to get stickers and stuff *2025-06-11, version 1.50.4* It’s good but you can pay 3 dollars for the exclusive emojis inside the app ### 2/5 — Omg my gosh *2025-05-22, version 1.50.4* Ok so when I am trying to make a thumbnail omg it’s crazy you know I rather use Picsart it’s better because thumbnails maker is not the one and also make sure to subscribe to my channel bye besties and also I do not 50% recmand this app ughhhhhhhhhhhh ### 3/5 — Thank you *2025-05-10, version 1.50.4* This was helpful for my Channel banner but the water mark annoyed me but I recommend this app ### 3/5 — Its alright. *2025-04-07, version 1.50.4* Most of the thumbnails are premium and hard to create with little tools and stickers to choose from. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-04-05, version 1.50.4* Thank you!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — It’s very good for my Roblox videos *2025-03-22, version 1.50.4* I love this app I can thumbnails for my Roblox videos ### 5/5 — It is super cool *2025-03-11, version 1.50.4* It is super cool ### 5/5 — Good *2025-02-23, version 1.50.4* Honestly a great app I am a streamer and this was so much helpful 👍👍 ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2025-01-21, version 1.50.3* This app is good. I re-downloaded it because at the time the first time I downloaded it I couldn’t find any thumbnails to use it and then the second time I downloaded it which was this time it was good so I would write it a 4 1/2 if I could just because it’s the first time, but if you were talking about the second time at five ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t Work *2026-06-26, version 1.50.6* When I open the app it closes immediately and if I retry, nope nothing! Don’t get this app!! ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2026-02-08, version 1.50.4* I purchased a year subscription and I keep having to hit “restore purchase” anytime I use it. Today it says “nothing to restore” so now I’m out of my money. Please fix this ASAP. UPDATE: I reached out to support, sent screenshots of receipts and the inability to restore my purchase on the app. They haven’t to reach back to me to resolve this issue after two weeks. I’m taking this to my credit card company to report fraud. ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2026-01-22, version 1.50.4* I purchased a year subscription and I keep having to hit “restore purchase” anytime I use it. Today it says “nothing to restore” so now I’m out of my money. Please fix this ASAP. ### 1/5 — Paid for year subscription *2026-01-20, version 1.50.4* Paid $39.99 for a yearly subscription. Only latest 2 weeks and now it won’t let me restore my subscription. No account information to access my profile of old projects I was working on. ### 1/5 — Don’t waist your money *2025-08-20, version 1.50.4* This app doesn’t even have the basic to cut out objects from image ### 1/5 — Bruh *2025-03-03, version 1.50.4* YOU HAVE TO PAY WHEN YOU GET THE APP 😡 ### 1/5 — Change in Price from per month to per week? *2025-01-06, version 1.50.3* Are you kidding me! 3.99 per week? I was under the assumption it was a month. I just canceled and will find a better app that is cost effective. I’ve free trailed many thumbnail apps that offer more for less. ### 1/5 — Looks good at the start but then… *2024-12-12, version 1.50.3* Just bought the app only to realize got to pay. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great app but 3$ a week?!?!??!???? I thought when I bought it would be free. I think if you want to pay 3$ a week it’s a good app. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2024-10-19, version 1.50.3* Make stuff free ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET *2024-05-10, version 1.50.2* When you get in it says pay every week or month to play PAY?💰 so I deleted it, and I think DO NOT GET if developers are reading FIX.
