### 5/5 — Лучшее уже много лет

*2026-05-03*

Лучшее уже много лет

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-03-18, version 3.9.15*

Does exactly what I need it to do . Ive been using it for years

### 1/5 — Too slow snd simple

*2026-02-27, version 3.9.15*

Way too slow to load pictures or anything. Way too simple for the price. Used to be fast now not worth the money

### 3/5 — Cool start to an app but lacking crucial components

*2026-02-27, version 3.9.15*

I think this is a cool app. What I desperately need is the ability to adjust the white border to specific aspect ratios. I would like to be able to add a vertical photo yet present it with a border that has a horizontal 4:3 aspect ratio. This would be a game changer I would use this app constantly for my workflow if it could do that. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Features removed

*2026-02-03, version 3.9.15*

Used to have a great feature where you could select a point on a picture and lighten/ adjust just that area. This was an amazing feature for product photography as you could lighten backgrounds without affecting the object in the picture. Photo editor seems to have been dumbed down a lot and simplified to just adjusting brightness of the whole thing. They replaced the in depth photo editor with obnoxious filters/ dumbed down features that take control away from the user. Please put it back.

### 5/5 — So great for adding borders !

*2026-02-03, version 3.9.15*

PLEASE NEVER CHANGE

### 4/5 — Grid Layout

*2025-12-07, version 3.9.15*

Absolutely love this app for Instagram. I believe that’s the purpose of this app. Regardless, I just wish there was a grid option to do multiple photos. For example: Open image you want to create, after you’re done editing the first photo, you can save it to the Whitagram App. Next photo, do your edits, save it. Repeat until your satisfied. Then, open the grid layout, pick the photos you saved to Whitagram, and BAM. Grid Layout.
You’re welcome.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2025-07-24*

My favourite and the best and easiest way to give a frame to your best pics. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Good but painfully slow

*2025-07-15, version 3.9.15*

Painfully slow and I’m not sure why! I like the features but it takes an age for it to work

### 5/5 — NO WATERMARK

*2025-06-28, version 3.9.15*

I’ve used this for years because it has never changed & has never given me any issues. It is so simple & gets right to the ‘point’ of what you’re trying to do without being confusing. it has a bunch of editing tools that are free to use & it is perfect for instagram.
