ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Colors frames holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: No Crop has 128 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Colors frames's written reviews are positive against 74% of No Crop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Colors frames ships an update every 2 weeks, No Crop every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
