Home screen quick actions and voice shortcuts also help you jump straight to New Meme, Open Templates, or your last draft. PAID FEATURES Pro removes ads and opens up the premium editor, including center caption, curved captions, extra text boxes, draw tools, full sticker packs, background cutout, output controls, export size presets, comic, collage, and the Last Meme widget. Photos access is only used when you pick an image or save to Photos, and camera access is only used when you choose Take Photo. Start your next meme, comic, or collage in a few taps and share it while the joke is still fresh. Terms of Use (EULA) - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula
