### 5/5 — Uh oh

*2014-06-18*

Great but there's something wrong with the imagery ....

### 1/5 — Stupid black screen

*2013-07-07*

Every time I open its just black!!!! Don't get this stupid app. I was really excited but this is stupid! It should get NO stars!!!!

### 4/5 — Great idea

*2013-06-04*

This app is a genius idea but could use some touch ups and improvements.  Could use more freedom with font ( maybe add some different kinds), and the app could also use more freedom to arrange  pictures horizontally as well as vertically. If you wanted to get real fancy you could add different borders and provide a library of decorations to add to the photos as well in addition. These are just some ideas that would amplify the awesomeness of this app. This idea is so ingenious I would also suggest turning it into a computer program or software if the file size is too big for the iPhone or iPad ect. I don't know about others but I would buy that! Anyways these are just my thoughts and opinions, and I really love this app even the way it is. It does crash however which is kind of a downfall, but I can still get it to work if I'm careful. I am sure making an app of this nature takes a lot of effort and work, but with persistence and some changes I think this app will be a big hit, and that other people would like this app as well.

### 2/5 — good idea needs a tweaking

*2013-02-16*

As a poet and digital storyteller, this is an appealing app. My Visual Poem looked great on my i-Pad, but then I e-mailed it to myself and posted it to my blog. The image was too small to see. I doubled the size, but of course, then it was blurry. Cool idea but end product needs to be of a larger and higher quality for effective sharing.

### 1/5 — Open app- black screen!!!

*2013-02-16*

I do not like this app! About a year ago i downloaded this app with the same problem( I open this app and all I see is a black screen.). I find this app again & its still the same.  I really wanna use this app!! Fix this app!!! RATING: 0 STARS.

### 2/5 — Stupid

*2013-02-01*

This app is stupid, all it does its just putting 3 images together. No additional features to it. There are many more free apps out there that does the same thing PLUS MORE! Waste of my space.

### 4/5 — Pretty Cool

*2013-01-19*

For the most part I really like this app. It is fun, creative and easy to use. I do wish there more options for images, I wanted to use some of my own photos in my Deviantart gallery but could not figure out a way to do so. Also some fount choices would be nice. But still a really good free app.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2012-12-28*

What the heck!? I can't even get in to it! All I get is a black screen! This is a big issue!!! It needs to be fixed right away.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2012-12-15*

The screen just goes black every time I open the app. It should really get fixed fast.

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2012-10-28*

The app used to work fine, but then it started crashing, and I can't even open it anymore.
