### 1/5 — There’s nothing turbo about this

*2021-08-23, version 2.3.1*

I was looking for a collage app where I could import a bunch of photos then have the app scatter them as it sees fit. Yes, I could upload a lot of photos with this but one-at-a-time which is absurd. It also doesn’t return to the same album each time I tell it to grab a new photo so there’s no way I’m going to navigate through my albums for even 20 photos, much less the 40 or 50 I’d like in the collage. This is not helpful at all.

### 1/5 — False advertisement

*2020-02-17, version 2.3.1*

After reading the description, I thought that I had found the holy grail for collages. Blatantly promised is the ability to manipulate photos in size, orientation, zoom... blah, blah, blah. It’s all fake news. And I want my money back.

### 4/5 — Great App but...

*2017-05-09, version 2.2.3*

I like the app and the fact that it can create such a large collage.

 My biggest issue is the editing ability and it making duplicates of the pics while editing instead of leaving the space blank so that you know you need to add another photo. 

I also dislike the way it makes you edit using this weird arrow thing. We should be able to touch the photos with our hands and enlarge or diminish to your liking! 

Other than the aforementioned I like this app and would recommend it to others 😊!

### 4/5 — It's OK but!

*2016-12-09, version 2.2.3*

I like it but it falls flat when you want to do more with it to fill a sheet to the edges!

### 5/5 — Usually brilliant

*2016-04-17, version 2.2.3*

I love this app. There are a few bugs at the moment and no way to report them that I can see. I can no longer take a photo or access photos already taken. This leaves the app pretty useless. I'll give it 5 stars once it is back to its brilliant self.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2015-09-05, version 2.1*

Waste of money. Doesn't do anything like it's supposed to. Don't bother.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-10-17, version 1.2*

So easy to use! Lots of options!

### 2/5 — BUT

*2014-04-21, version 1.2*

Great app  BUT does not preserve the original picture sharpness , it blur the picture :(

### 4/5 — Great app, but needs some modifying

*2014-02-14, version 1.2*

This app is terrific, I seriously recommend it! TurboCollage is a wonderful app to put lots of photos into one. The only thing I would change is when you are moving a photo in its little frame it's kind of frustrating and confusing. Instead of having to use arrows to move the photo we should just be able to movie it around with our fingers. First we should tap the photo so we can edit it with our fingers. Then if you choose to switch one photo with another you should just double tap. If these changes are made it would definitely be a five-star app!

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-12-27, version 1.2*

Very simple and useful!
