### 4/5 — Easy photo titling app/ crank out a meme without missing a beat

*2023-12-21*

This is a very easy, simple way to add text to your images. A pretty good list of fonts and text effects (not comprehensive, but enough to do most of what a basic phone app could ever do) to make a meme, add notes, or do some very basic photo edits. 
I’m sure there are much more powerful apps out there, but you probably already have those if you actually need that power or feature set. The modest but effective and intuitive features keep this simple, sweetheart.

### 5/5 — Depth of Excellence

*2023-11-06*

It's after using this great app for a while that I realize how many layers of excellence are built into it. The nuances of smarts and detail reveal themselves. How good does a text app have to be to make you forget about using Photoshop! What a delight to run across something that is so carefully thought out, whose interface makes intuitive sense and is fun to use. This is not just another text-adding app. And responsive customer service. Thank you devoted developers!

### 5/5 — Easiest Meme Maker

*2023-07-26*

It is easy as opening up the app, selecting a photo from whatever library you have… tap the screen adjust to whatever type of font color effect you want move it to where you want to save it voilà you now have your very own meme!

### 5/5 — Very good, used often, but…

*2023-05-12*

I truly love this product and use it often but it has limitations. 1) First and foremost, some fonts need the bold attribute,  without bold. They are not readable on some backgrounds. A font editor (italic, underline, cross through, etc) would be nice. 2) The ability under user control to extend background shading (often to the image’s edge) would be very useful.

### 5/5 — Still a favorite

*2022-10-18, version 2.6.8*

This lightweight app is still the best and most versatile option for adding text to images for online viewing. Thank you for being so consistent all these years! 

P.S.: If you ever decided to add more open source fonts or the ability to export at higher resolutions, I would definitely be willing to pay for a one-time upgrade—and tout your app to anyone and everyone. (Y'all are the best, seriously!)

### 4/5 — More fonts please!

*2022-10-14, version 2.6.8*

I’ve been using this app for a long time and highly recommend it. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star is because I wish it had more fonts.

### 5/5 — Only one i use

*2022-08-08, version 2.6.8*

I started using this when it came out.i tried new ones when they came out.  But i kept going back to this. Its easy to use snd elegant at same time. 

I make birthday cards using titlefx on photos i took. Always a winner!too bad apple wipes previous reviews and then wants more.  

This is very very good!!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2022-07-13, version 2.6.8*

I love this app. I use it all the time. I like to date & name my photos as well as creating my own memes & inspirational content. It is extremely user friendly.  The ability to change the text font, size, angle, & color make this one of my all times favorites!

### 4/5 — Provides a wide range of the most often-used text effects; no tutorials necessary

*2022-05-08, version 2.6.8*

I’ve been using it for several years without a problem. No hangups or freezes until yesterday. Downloaded a new copy and up and running again.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-12-08, version 2.6.8*

I use this app to add names to pictures of cats at the rescue where I volunteer.  The pictures are put on the informational cards on the cats’ cages, and then kept in their files after they are adopted. Very easy app to use, wide choice of colors, fonts, etc.  Makes one of my jobs simple and fun!
