Bug fixes and improvements! --------------------------- Baby Pics 5.2.0 is here with a new feature drop! Make even more magic with your little one's photos in our AI Creation tool. Premium adds extra styling for keepsakes you'll treasure, and Animation brings them to life as adorable short videos.

Recurring themes

Subscription Issues negative
A pervasive issue where users are charged for annual subscriptions without clear consent, often immediately after selecting a 'free trial'. Many report being unable to cancel or get refunds, with support being unresponsive. This directly contradicts the developer's notes about 'improvements' as users still face significant billing problems.R1R13R17R23
Feature Access/Paywall negative
Users frequently complain that despite the app being free to download or even paying for a subscription, many desirable features, stickers, or backdrops remain locked or have limited uses (e.g., 7 'Magic Cuts' per week for a $34.99 annual subscription). This leads to frustration and a feeling of being misled about what a paid subscription offers.R1R13R14R22
Creativity & Ease of Use positive
Many users genuinely enjoy the app's ability to add creative elements, stickers, and milestones to baby photos. They find it easy to navigate and appreciate the diverse options available for personalizing pictures and capturing memories.R2R3R4R6
Technical Issues negative
Some users report bugs such as the app not recognizing a paid subscription, artworks failing to download, or the app requiring constant re-logging. This indicates that the 'Bug fixes and improvements!' mentioned in the release notes may not have fully addressed all underlying technical problems.R1R292R183

Who it's for

This app is for parents or guardians looking for an easy-to-use tool to add creative stickers, milestones, and effects to their baby's photos R7R26R29. It's particularly appealing to those who want to personalize pictures without needing professional photography or extensive editing skills R11R39. However, it is NOT for users who are unwilling to pay for a subscription, or those who expect a genuinely free trial and a straightforward cancellation process, as many reviews indicate significant issues in these areas R13R17R25.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily due to billing and subscription issues. While there are many positive reviews praising the app's functionality, the sheer volume and consistency of complaints regarding deceptive subscription practices and poor customer service are overwhelming. The lifetime rating of 4.83 suggests a positive trajectory historically, but the recent negative sentiment indicates a significant decline in user satisfaction, likely due to changes in monetization or subscription management.

  12. [R65] 5/5 · US newborn: amazing at capturing moments and pics
  13. [R13] 1/5 · US Deceiving: I paid 39.99 for this app and many of the functions requiere an upgrade to pro version. The only thing you get here are some stickers for your pictures.
  14. [R17] 1/5 · US Do Not do it!!!: Do not download this app… there is not much to it and I canceled my subscription and the next day they charged my account for a yearly subscription!!!!!
  15. [R23] 1/5 · US Terrible: Cancelled the subscription and the next day they charged me $37. What a joke.
  16. [R25] 1/5 · US Scam! Do NOT download!: Disgusting business ethics. The app is trash and when you try to cancel the trial it does not allow you to log in , but to login you must pay the membership? Therefore you can’t cancel without having to pay the year subscription! Stay away from this app!
  17. [R177] 1/5 · US Won’t stop charging my card and has locked me out of Apple ID until I pay.: Don’t get this app and definitely don’t get the “free” trial. I downloaded this and got a free trial which I canceled after 2 days because I didn’t like the app. They have now been charging my bank account multiple times a day every single day for 2 weeks over a “FREE” trial that I canceled. I have now been kicked out of m
  18. [R200] 1/5 · US Impossible to cancel: I purchased the yearly subscription and have been trying to cancel but they make it close to impossible! Trying to cancel from the app and it says that they will send an email to help manage your subscription but the email never comes! After having a miscarriage I no longer need nor want this product and do not want to be charged for it again!
  19. [R207] 1/5 · GB Will scam your money out of your pocket: Be careful, the app will charge you for a full year subscription even tho you cancelling the free trial on time. You can try to complain but they dont have customer service or anyone who would respond. Im scared that they will keep continuing and get my money every year. I talked to apple and they trying to help get my money back, apparently I am not the on
  20. [R1] 1/5 · US Terrible App: I am stuck with an app that I cannot use because it will store any photo you share with a third party AI vendor unless you contact support to delete that information. Constantly have to log into the app and it doesn’t work well. When I first got this app, I took a couple of photos, however, it began to say that I didn’t have access to several elements of the app unless I have a subsc
  21. [R14] 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: This app does not allow the use of any features.
  22. [R22] 1/5 · US don't buy this!: I am disappointed that I paid for a year's subscription for $34.99. For this money I am offered only 59 backdrops, of which 5-10 are on the theme of Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter. If you need photos not for holidays, then this is definitely not worth buying. This is not worth buying at all!!!!
  23. [R292] 3/5 · GB Not too great: Hi, I bought this app for my newborn but when I started using it half the artworks doesn’t get download and get stuck in between so I have to keep switching to try the ones which can get download. What is the point of buying this then?
  24. [R183] 2/5 · US Used to love the app: This app used to be great. Now it barely works. I paid for the full years membership, but every time I click on the app it goes back to saying that I didn’t pay. I have uninstalled it, went through Safari, etc. and it still won’t load on my account. It’s frustrating because the app used to be wonderful before the update.
  25. [R254] 3/5 · GB Great app but ..:: Love this app but it Uses so much storage on my phone I’m going to have to delete it
  26. [R683] 3/5 · CA Love it but wished...: Love the app but the recent updates deleted some of the best filters it had (eg. Hudson filter). Though it added lots of new colour palettes and features, it should’ve kept some of its original features for previous users. Please reconsider.
  27. [R366] 2/5 · GB Wish it was more inclusive: Having had this app for almost two years now, and seeing all the religious festivals on here (Diwali, Christmas, cinco de Mayo, Hanukkah) but no Eid? Just failing to deliver for 1.8 billion people, definitely has me feeling some type of way.
  28. [R458] 1/5 · CA Poor application: Application doesn't have much backgrounds or effects. Poor quality application and customer service. Not worth to buy even for a month.
  29. [R2] 5/5 · US Super lindo: Me encantooooo
  30. [R3] 5/5 · US Love this app: I have 3 grandchildren and this app is awesome!!
  31. [R4] 5/5 · US Perfect: Excelente aplicación para editar fotos de bebés 💖
  32. [R24] 1/5 · US Don’t get fooled by downloading this: It’s free to download but needs money to edit photos what a shame
  33. [R296] 1/5 · GB Con!!!: Free to download and can’t use without payment.
