A pure generosity app. Love it. Check out this developers other apps esp CopyIt which is a ridiculously good feature-rich art grid app. Meanwhile Walter lives on in us all. Thank you dev.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-07-14*

I purchased the app, and it doesn’t work. It allows me to edit photos on the frame, but it doesn’t allow me to download/save the photo, nor share it (although it has a “share” link).

### 5/5 — Funny

*2014-12-12*

Great app, would be better if you can take that yellow background out the way :/
