While many users find it easy and intuitive to use, a significant number of recent reviews express frustration over the requirement to pay for basic functions like saving or exporting collages, despite being advertised as a free app.

Recurring themes

Pricing/Paywall negative
The most prominent complaint is that the app, advertised as free, requires a subscription or payment for almost all functionality, including saving collages. Users express frustration over high weekly costs (e.g., $9.99, $14.99) and feel it's a 'bait and switch' tactic. This directly contradicts the expectation of a free app.R2R3R4R9
Ease of Use positive
Many positive reviews highlight the app's ease of use, intuitive interface, and simple process for creating collages. Users appreciate the straightforward nature of combining photos and the variety of available options.R6R25R29R34
Technical Issues/Performance negative
Some users report issues such as the app being slow to enumerate large photo libraries, a lack of a standard photo picker, and problems with the app not working despite an active subscription. There are also reports of unexpected charges or continued billing after deletion.R44R66R162R936
Feature Limitations negative
Reviewers note limitations such as frustrating text box resizing, low-quality backgrounds, and an inability to choose which photos are used when uploading a large number. Some also desire a 'no borders' option.R10R20R103R976

Who it's for

This app is for users who want an easy and intuitive tool to create photo collages and are willing to pay a potentially high weekly subscription fee R700R893. It is NOT for users looking for a genuinely free collage maker or those unwilling to pay for basic functions like saving their creations R4R27.

Evidence note: The recent reviews strongly skew negative, primarily focusing on the pricing model. While the lifetime rating is high, the recent sentiment indicates a significant shift or increased user frustration with the 'free to download, pay to use' approach. The developer's notes are generic and do not address any specific issues raised by users, particularly regarding pricing or paywalls.

  10. [R3] 1/5 · US You have to pay to save or use: Not worth it
  11. [R4] 1/5 · US NOT FREE AT ALL - SCAM: You absolutely can NOT do anything unless you buy the membership. Do not download.
  12. [R11] 3/5 · US Not free: Need to pay and subscribe for even the most basic option (combine 4 pictures into one).
  13. [R1] 1/5 · US Horrible: Horrible app / lacks any good and useful stuff. Chargers you multiple times per week. Just horirble.
  14. [R9] 3/5 · US good app: but way to expensive
  15. [R10] 1/5 · US Cost $ for low quality app: Expensive and the most basic, not so good backgrounds. I’ve seen way nicer for lower price.
  16. [R17] 3/5 · US Easy to use: Pricing sucks
  17. [R44] 1/5 · US NOT WORKING: The app is very expensive. I paid for the subscription for a whole year and couldn’t understand what the money was being charged for. When I finally realized it, I opened the app and remembered that I had actually liked it at some point. I decided to keep the subscription and use it a few more times during the week, but it turns out the app doesn’t even work. While I had forgotten a
  18. [R66] 1/5 · US Thieving: Been charging me for months
  19. [R999] 3/5 · AU This app is terrrible: I had this app but deleted it and I still get charged twice a month on the same day for renewing my subscription that I don’t have it’s totally a scam
  20. [R162] 3/5 · US Slow to enumerate large Apple photo library: I’ve been using the app for years, but lately on my newer iPhone 17 Pro the app is very slow to enumerate my photo library. My library is large, however other apps can enumerate immediately. Also, it has no way to traverse the newer Apple photo library organization. I wish the app used the standard photo picker in the organizational way Apple presents i
  21. [R103] 3/5 · US Just using it a little $: Editing is frustrating when trying to resize the text box. Also why not have a free option to just use a couple collage frames !
  22. [R20] 1/5 · US Limited Photo Usage: I just downloaded this app maybe five minutes ago and I’m already going to cancel it. Why would an app let you upload 40 photos only for it to use 10 and then not let you even choose which ones you want to use? Bogus.
  23. [R936] 3/5 · AU It is not working now: Disappointed, worked fine now it just shows me the privacy policy. Please fix ASAP.
  24. [R976] 3/5 · AU No borders: Needs a no borders option
  25. [R52] 3/5 · US Overpriced: Nice app to make collages for my projects.$9.99 a month seems reasonable, but a week? Really?
  26. [R700] 3/5 · CA $10/week!: It doesn’t matter how well designed and easy to use this is, $10 per week ($520/yr!) is ridiculous for such extremely basic and low value functionality. Also it wants to track your data and cross-app activities to sell.
  27. [R893] 3/5 · AU Good app but way too expensive: This app is really easy to use and has been my favourite for ages, but it’s gotten way too expensive at $14.99 per week. I won’t be using it anymore.
  28. [R15] 1/5 · US Nah cause you have to buy it: J like every app now a days it lets you do stuff until you wanna save it or export or use it for the exact reason you took a chance on it. Another paywall bs miss.
  29. [R27] 1/5 · US MUST Pay to save any photos !: **FIND ANOTHER APP!!** This app is will not allow you to post, save, send, or screenshot any photos collages that you make without purchasing a plan.
  30. [R71] 1/5 · US Not Free: Says the app is free but after you make your collage in order to save it you have to pay to save it. Don’t have it as “free” if you’re going to have to pay for a subscription to keep what you make. It’s a waste of time might as well just make you pay for it from the start instead of at the end. You can’t even screenshot it to keep it because it’s like a fart in the wind and it’s gone jus
