Won’t find images on your device. App is dead in the water. App Store should delete this clickbait! All that works are the ads.😝👎 ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-05-27, version 6.1* As cludgy and unpleasant as the desktop original was, but now with additional clumsiness due to the poor integration into a tablet environment. This is a mouse and keyboard tool, and the blurry weirdness of the image does not help. Absolutely horrible. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Just a cash grab *2025-03-24, version 6.1* Just a cash grab, it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — useless *2025-03-22, version 6.1* absolutely useless - only works in portrait ### 1/5 — Wtfuhhhhhk??! *2025-03-20, version 6.1* Whytheee fuuuhhk is this app here?? Specifically for years…. With viruses and obvious Trojans and 6s. ### 1/5 — This App Failed Everyone *2025-03-07* This needs major work. No clue how to get the tools to pop up. I was able to get a tab to show up once for me to put text on the blank screen. And once I went to try and edit it I could no longer interact with that layer. Other than by moving it around or growing/shrinking it. But worse I couldn’t ever get the tools to pop up again. I hope whoever developed this, your mother finds out and hits you with a wooden spoon. ### 1/5 — sus *2025-03-07, version 6.1* Title says it all read other reviews ### 1/5 — Fraud to obtain credit card data - do not use!!! *2025-02-26, version 6.1* Apple please remove this app. I have had to cancel my credit card for the potential fraud caught right away. It uses website sumfr.fans and is reported as scam by bbb.org ### 1/5 — Not real Gimp *2025-02-19, version 6.1* Don’t waste the time. ### 1/5 — Took me to some ad-riddled site *2025-02-12, version 6.1* Like the title says, the “app” did nothing but try to redirect me to garbage. ### 1/5 — Nope *2024-12-21, version 6.1* Doesn’t work on iPad. ### 1/5 — Extremely poor *2024-12-21, version 6.1* After using the pc version for years this was a laughable joke of an implementation. Pretty much unusable and full of ads. Just don’t bother guys. ### 1/5 — No way *2024-11-22, version 6.1* This is so disappointing, it just opens a web version of the app, full of ads and with an interface that while good for PC, is very inconvenient to use on iPhone. This is so lazy, GIMP could be great if it actually worked natively. ### 1/5 — Not open-source/not working *2024-11-06, version 6.1* This genuinely needs to be removed from the App Store. Or maybe fix the app first and keep “open-source” like it should be. ### 1/5 — Pointless Ap *2024-11-04, version 6.1* DO NOT DOWNLOAD. This ap doesn’t work properly, as others have said too. Don’t waste your time with it. ### 2/5 — Not the same typecas shown on app store 🫥 *2024-09-28, version 6.1* So you know gimp right? I thought it was the classic win 95 ver. Which I wanted to try because I saw it on a meme which was weird so when I downloaded it it's not windows ninety five ver. So dont download this.

Worst app ever ### 1/5 — Don’t download. *2024-09-22, version 6.1* Virus warning!!! ### 1/5 — Garbage filled with ads *2024-09-18, version 6.1* I use gimp daily with windows. This version is filled with ads unless you pay money… which GIMP , the real gimp, never does. This app is absolutely nothing to do with gimp. I’d put a ‘no star’ rating if there was one. ### 1/5 — She'll for a webpage. Not even a proper app *2024-09-06, version 6.1* All this supposed app does is open a dodgy looking Web page where one has to click on a button to get to some archaic looking Web editor. Really deceptive. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very very bad *2026-01-19, version 6.1* Gimp is free online. No cost. I have always promoted it for beginners. It’s not the best, or the easiest to use but it’s free. If you have a creative mind give the free download a try on a PC. Unfortunately IPad users can not download the real deal. Cheers ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-18, version 6.1* This junk doesn’t even work and pops up adds every time you click on something ### 1/5 — I doesn’t work *2026-01-05, version 6.1* It didn’t work for my Roblox pass ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work? *2025-12-02, version 6.1* Not sure if this is official app for gimp but it’s buggy and full of ads. Then you cannot upload images to edit. I wouldn’t DL it ### 1/5 — EXTREMELY BAD *2025-10-11, version 6.1* I had a brain aneurysm trying to find out how this app works ### 1/5 — 0/10 garbage *2025-08-29, version 6.1* App is garbage, Devs are garbage, EVERYTHING ABT THIS APP AND THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS APP ARE GARBAGE ### 1/5 — Hard to cancel trial version *2025-07-18, version 6.1* I am a few days into this in the 7 day trial and wish to cancel. There is not an account section on the app that you can enter so I can’t see how I can cancel. Hay developers, please show me how ### 1/5 — Is this a joke *2025-06-23, version 6.1* App is unusable and NOT GIMP ### 1/5 — Cant tell if it’s just click bait or broken *2025-06-16, version 6.1* It’s weird but it wouldn’t work for me. Looks like it’s booting up and shows gimp loading up but leads me to “about:blank”, and going back makes you sit there for a bit at a gray screen with a cursor and eventually tries again but does the same thing. Not sure if it’s just a pre-recorded “pretend to try to load” thing to get you reloading ads. Could be. Feel free to respond and debug this and I’ll happily change my rating :) ### 1/5 — Joke *2025-06-15, version 6.1* AVOID ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hi *2024-08-29, version 6.1* Hi ### 5/5 — Good *2024-05-12, version 6.1* Would recommend ### 5/5 — great app *2024-03-04, version 6.1* pls dont pay attention to low ratings thank you for allowing me to have my gimp on iphone ### 5/5 — It’s Free quit complaining *2019-06-20, version 5.3* Definitely better on PC than mobile. Still it’s free and if you know what to do it’s serviceable. ### 5/5 — Ok , so *2017-09-03* I would give it a five star but , when I do the computer thing it lags... it's really how to draw . I see these glitches when I draw and I don't like it. When I erase it does the same thing ### 4/5 — Real but difficult to work with *2019-06-11, version 5.3* This is no fake. xGimp does exactly what pc version does. I only tried hue saturation, brightness, rotate and few others functions and can confirm this is the real deal. Its awful however on Iphone. I can’t work without a mouse. Thanks for this though, one can never know when your computer got stolen and you still need to make that banner.... im gonna keep it ### 4/5 — Accessing camera roll in iPad *2016-12-04* Hi 4 stars because it is good in Windows and Linux Mint Use this in Linux and Windows, I cannot find how to get my photos in iPad. Any ideas? ### 3/5 — Terrible app *2018-02-23, version 5.0* First of all you can’t bring in your own pictures or any pictures for that matter Secondly you can’t tap on any of the options to edit the image, It’s a waste of time DONT GET IT ### 3/5 — Ok *2016-10-16, version 5.0* It does what it says it does, would probably be decent on iPad with stylus. Don't know if i was my connection their servers connection or just VNC but was a bit laggy on remote gimp. ### 3/5 — Computer *2016-09-19, version 3.0* I have this on my computer and it worked perfect I'm so excited to do this on the iPad, hopefully it works well :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
