### 4/5 — ❤️

*2026-01-19*

I love this app so much it helps make my phone so unique.. but there’s one problem, THE ADDS. I HATE THEM SO MUCHH

### 3/5 — Not the best app

*2025-06-25*

I don’t know how to set the widgets and their help center has nothing and is in Japanese

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2025-01-06*

Very simple and exactly what I needed with no flaws. Would recommend

### 2/5 — Ads now great.

*2024-09-20*

The only reason I keep this is because it's the only working one that does things right, almost.

Now they shove ads in your face after u add a photo that's ok I just close it out right after.

I HATE ADS.
I can't wait to get my system wide ad blocker back...

I'm not paying to remove ads ether.
Was a good app now just keeping cause it's all there is atm till I find a better one that doesn't shove full screen nuisance ads in my face.

**Developer response:** Sorry, I fixed it in version 2.4.1. Please try again.

### 5/5 — Black borders Fixed with new update

*2024-07-14*

New update fixed the black border issues,
 though I won't be updating as fast next time.

I sometimes use widgets to blend into my backgrounds & I don't want that black border thing happening ever again..

So I'll be testing updates on another device before I update on my main..

**Developer response:** Sorry, I fixed it in version 2.4.1. Please try again.

### 4/5 — good ish

*2024-07-13*

love the app, only issue is the new update where the widget pic is kinda spread out

### 1/5 — Ruined it with new update

*2024-07-12*

Now there's black borders around the pictures ...
Wasn't like that till I updated

**Developer response:** Sorry, I fixed it in version 2.4.1. Please try again.
