### 5/5 — Must have for Art teachers

*2025-09-24*

I’m an art teacher. This app complements my visual composition lessons. Every visual artist should be familiar with composition, and this app makes it simple and accessible.

### 5/5 — Perfect cropping every time

*2025-09-12*

I got this app to improve my composition and cropping for my photography to be used on my paintings. My photography is way better now, more intentional, and it is perfect for painting 📷🎨🖼️

**Developer response:** 👋 Hi, we’re thrilled to hear that Wise Photos is helping you refine your photography and cropping for your paintings. It’s wonderful to know the app is making your work more intentional and inspiring your art. 📷🎨

### 1/5 — Could be better

*2025-07-21*

Not pleased with paying $5 just for the bottom of the image to be obscured by a white brick that reads “dynamic symmetry”. It’s also weird I can’t overlay multiple grids. Dynamic symmetry has lines that go through the X’s. In order to replicate that I have to save the dynamic symmetry grid, trim the “wise photos” tag on the bottom, re-upload, then apply the cubed grid. I feel that if you’re going to charge people, it should be a little smoother to use those features and we shouldn’t be subject to the bottom of the photos being covered.
Edit: I don’t appreciate being gaslit. Maybe NOW the logo doesn’t impede the photo but when I wrote this review a year ago, it very much did. Changed from a 3 star to a to a 1 star for that. Don’t come to me a year later trying to make it seem like I’m lying.

**Developer response:** 👋 Hi, thank you for your feedback! Many of our users are not familiar with all 15 artistic composition names, so we display the name at the bottom of the photo. The name does not cover the photo; instead, we place the name outside the image. We'll look into your suggestion to include multiple artistic compositions on one image. Thank you again! 🤓📷📱

### 5/5 — Fun and easy to use

*2024-12-28*

Love the app and it makes it super easy to improve the quality of photos!

**Developer response:** 👋 Hi, thank you very much for your kind words! We truly appreciate it! 🤓📷📱

### 2/5 — Nice templates, lacks editing features.

*2023-12-27*

The composition template overlays are nice, but other than 'zoom in/out' and 'drag center', there are no editing features in this app. 'Tilt' and 'custom crop' are not available. If you want to truly align photo elements to the template, you have to leave the app, go to another editing app, make blind changes, and then return to this app to check if you hit your target.  This is tedious and not what I was looking for when I thought that within the app I could "align" my photo to the templates.

**Developer response:** 👋Hi, thank you for your feedback. We truly appreciate it! We have added your suggestions to our feature list! With the Wise Photos app you can view your photos, find the perfect artistic composition, and then zoom in/out, and pan around to match the artistic composition with your photo's main subject and supporting elements. You can rotate the image 90 degrees and the crop is at 4:3, 3:2, or 16:9 ratios. 

Again, thank you for your suggestions and joining our lovely community of thousands of Wise Photos users since 2018!🤓📷📱

### 5/5 — Super useful for photo cropping

*2023-09-15*

It helped me to significantly improve the quality of photos I post on social media. It allows to select most dramatic and impactful part of the photo to really make it stand out and remove the rest.

**Developer response:** 👋Hi, thank you for join our lovely community of thousands of Wise Photos users since 2018!🤓📷📱

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-01-07*

This is the perfect way to make sure your photos are well-balanced and in proportion.

**Developer response:** 👋Thank you for being a Wise Photos app user and that Wise Photos is helping you to have well-balanced and proportioned photos.

### 5/5 — First step on any post processing

*2021-03-14*

Composition is my first step when post-processing photos... this is the only app that guides me with this task. I really think that this in the first step. Then i use other apps.

**Developer response:** 👋Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Photography is an art

*2021-02-20*

Photography is an art and this app makes it easy to be an artist.

**Developer response:** 👋Thank you so much!
