Thanks for supporting! I fixed the bug that causes the app to crash. 9Cut returns after those years! Thanks for Codex. FreeApp Top30. PaidApp Top5. NO.1 of image category. Presented by designer Qianwei Bian. Appsolution recommended! "Is 9Cut an app that could cut an image into 9 slices and upload them to some social apps to play as 9 elements of a whole big image?" "Yeah, you've got it." Usage ABC: 1. Open an image; 2. May choose the shape of whole view; 3. Zoom or move your image and save its 9 slices into camera roll; 4. Go to apps as WeChat, Sina Weibo, Qzone, Facebook, which support muti-image-uploading to choose slices in sequence and upload. 9Cut is designed and coded by designer Gigo. Your precious ideas may be sent to him to support@9cut.net. *One more thing: After pressing save button, you may see an amazing animation never seen before : )

PanoraSplit for Instagram holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PanoraSplit for Instagram has 2.1K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of 9Cut's written reviews are positive against 24% of PanoraSplit for Instagram's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
