User reviews

Doesn’t work on Iphone 12 mini

It seems to be a very simple and effective app but the icons on the top to open a picture or turn on the flashlight doesn’t work on my iPhone 12 mini. It’s a pity, I hope it can be fixed so I can rectify my review.

Useless

There is no way to import any images. I tried doing it from within the app and from my photo album by sharing or copying an image and nothing worked. Did the developer even test this?

Epic fail wouldn’t even let me select photos

Looked great but to get started it prompts you to select photo library at top left of screen. Wouldn’t let me select. Tried finger and stylus to no avail. Deleted app and tried another.

Doesn’t work

Cant import images

Unable to import images

Unable to import images. Camera works just fine but I can't import images. I went into to settings to see if I hadn't allowed access or anything. It doesn't even have access to my photos xD
