This is frustrating and needs to be debugged ### 3/5 — Version 5.4 is So Slow *2026-05-20, version 5.4* Have been using this app for a long time to prepare photos for Instagram. I’m a professional photographer and want to post my shots without a crop and the white border allows me to do this easily. However with the significant changes in 5.4, the process is now incredibly slow. I typically select numerous photos in a batch to add a white border and then save to my camera roll. There is now a noticeable lag with each selection and saving to the camera roll for 15 to 20 photos takes one to two minutes. Previously this only took a few seconds. Love the app but really miss the speed and efficiency of the prior versions. ### 4/5 — 遺憾，自動更新後，原生照片選擇器被移除。 *2026-05-09, version 5.4* 我iCloud上有18萬張照片，幾百個相簿。曾經有原生照片選擇器、使用非常絲滑。如今自動更新後，已經無法正常使用了、 ### 4/5 — Home Screen update *2026-01-20, version 5.1.1* I love the app, but sometimes I wish the main “Home Screen” wasn’t just a big icon for photos. Is there a way we can get like a home screen with templates, old work, unfinished photos etc… Other than that, it’s a great app! ### 3/5 — Does its job *2026-01-11, version 5.1.1* Great for simple clear cut boarders. When you select multiple photos you don’t have access to the same customization even with the paid version. ### 2/5 — Usually love this simple app, but. *2025-12-13, version 5.0.7* I can’t save the photo anymore because the area where you click save to photos is covered with ads, so become unusable. ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-06-02, version 5.0.6* Why it keeps crasing with the new update? ### 3/5 — 無法恢復購買 *2025-05-02, version 5.0.6* 以前買過，但無法在App中恢復購買，請協助解決 ### 5/5 — simple and easy to use *2025-04-16, version 5.0.5* this is the app i have always wanted. super straightforward and easy to use. plain and simple ### 5/5 — Awesome work! *2025-04-14, version 5.0.5* The app is extremely handy in preparing photos for social media in any style, it’s also beautifully developed and just works! One feature request: when batch processing, enable the option to copy and paste settings. ### 5/5 — My ole reliable *2025-04-07, version 5.0.4* This app is great, simple and does just what you need. Paid for premium to support the dev, good work. ### 5/5 — JUST WHAT I NEED!!! *2025-03-30, version 5.0.4* straight to the point and just what i needed!! the developer is so sweet and open to feedback on glitches!! ### 2/5 — Got rid of key feature *2025-03-20, version 5.0.2* I used to use this app all the time for getting my images uncropped by Instagram, but the latest update got rid of the dropper tool to better match/manually choose colors from the image to use for the border. That tool was more than half the appeal and made this app really useful. Now it’s like all the other apps that just add basic borders. ### 5/5 — White Borders *2025-03-06, version 5.0.1* Awesome free app. I wish there was an app that would do double and triple mattes as easily. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You want me to pay to change the background color? *2026-03-16, version 5.2.4* lol ### 1/5 — Not useful *2026-02-05, version 5.2* Can’t use without purchasing anymore. ### 1/5 — Good but …….. *2026-02-02, version 5.2* This has all the features I need and is easy to use. But when I want to save a project the actual photo has disappeared. I end up with a blank frame. ### 1/5 — Ruined the app *2026-01-30, version 5.1.1* title says it all. devs should have to take down their app and re-upload under a different name if they are going to change it so drastically. ### 1/5 — Totally Unusable *2025-12-01, version 5.0.7* Ads now cover the Save to Photos button within the app rendering this app completely useless. ### 1/5 — 更新之後比例跟之前不同？ *2025-06-22, version 5.0.6* 之前都好好的 4:3比例 某次更新後一樣的照片4:3 輸出到ig上留白部分卻不一樣？ 版面完全沒辦法跟之前的一致 虧我花錢購買，亂更新啥啊 ### 1/5 — Limited background color options *2025-02-23, version 5.0.1* Used to be able to choose any color for free. I upgraded (annoying new feature ) just so I didn’t need to use plain white and I can only choose from 16 colors or so ### 1/5 — NEW UPDATE RUINED APP *2025-02-22, version 5.0.1* No more color dropper tool and the one in setting isn’t working Update ruined app Don’t download this trash now ### 1/5 — V bad update *2025-02-17, version 5.0* I have used this app for some time, it was really user friendly & superb fit controlling the depth of white border to your image with a number & click stop relating to the depth of white border. Then suddenly it’s been updated without this facility & you have to try getting the same border width by freehand unless you use the default setting. I don’t understand why it’s been changed to be much less usable. I am now looking around for an app that functions the way Whiteborder used to… ### 1/5 — border numbers *2025-02-16, version 5.0* please bring back the numbers for consistent border sizes across photos! I am guessing between photos to have the same margins ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect for mpix crop issues *2026-01-30, version 5.1.1* Tried using mpix to print my photos but was unable to due to not wanting to crop the photo itself. Used white border to make a croppable section around photo- worked PERFECTLY, so easy and user friendly, and free?!! No frills, exactly as described. No notes. ### 5/5 — Thoughtful and useful *2025-12-19, version 5.1.0* The December 2025 update is great. I can't really think of how the app could be improved now. ### 5/5 — Seamless experience *2025-10-19, version 5.0.7* Probably one of the best white borders app out there, seamless experience with just a click away! ### 5/5 — Super easy to use *2025-09-15, version 5.0.7* Love it, it does what it says ### 5/5 — 你好，请问后续可以预设几个Instagram的边框？ *2025-08-24, version 5.0.6* 因为除了正方形，还有有一些比例会被细微裁切。 ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-07-22, version 5.0.6* This app does exactly one thing and it does it really simple and straightforward. Big recommendation! ### 5/5 — Super !!! *2025-07-13, version 5.0.6* I’ve been looking for an app like this forever—absolutely love it! ### 5/5 — So good I paid *2025-05-20, version 5.0.6* It just does what it’s supposed to- like back in the day when apps didn’t try to be something else. ### 5/5 — Great for Borders *2025-05-19, version 5.0.6* This app is an important part of my photography workflow. Selecting multiple images or videos and creating borders is quick and easy. I like the way the app also analyses the photo and creates a palette of complimentary colours that you can use. The developer is to be complimented on the eye-dropper function that allows you to select your own specific colour for the border, based on your image. This is a must have app!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-05-13, version 5.0.6* This app its totally worth it for the amount you pay! It makes my work much easier. The only thing i would implement is that you could put several pictures in the same background. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
