Would like a bit more control over text placement and opacity, save as jpeg or png, etc. It's a very sleek, inspiring & simple app though. Great interface. Would pay for those extra features. ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2012-04-25* I really enjoy this app, it's delightful in its simplicity. I would, however, love the ability to save directly to my photos (unless that's already there and I simply overlooked it...), as well as a white-on-black color scheme for the tags. Other than that, it's pretty perfect. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Doesn't allow export to Photos *2012-03-04* I wish it'll have higher res export. ### 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. ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
