- [R10] Baby Pics Creativity: Allows you to get creative
- [R43] Baby Pics $34.99 annual subscription comes with limited uses: I actually really like this app; quality is great, interface and usability is great, lots of features. BUT my favorite feature to use, the Magic Cut “sticker maker” feature is limited to 7 uses a week. For the cost of the $34.99 annual subscription, it should be unlimited. Especially with the dozens of competing photo editors out there, many of w
- [R62] Photo Editor- Does it all: Great photo editing!
- [R74] Photo Editor- Best photo app ever!: I’ve been using this app for years. It’s easy and simple to use. Good features and I like to use the blemish tool to smooth my skin.
- [R12] Baby Pics Baby pics: I love this app! Very easy to use
- [R36] Baby Pics User Friendly!: This app is so easy to use, I absolutely love it!
- [R66] Photo Editor- Bring back the old app: Before the update, this app was awesome. Now it’s hard to navigate, not user friendly and complicated. Bring back the old app.
- [R115] Photo Editor- Nah: Hate the new update. So much harder to edit now.
- [R61] Photo Editor- Sucks: Since I paid for the app. It never works. Always says it’s “temporarily unavailable “
- [R67] Photo Editor- Long time user, but no longer: New version/update crashes on a regular basis - and has been doing so for MONTHS without a fix.
- [R100] Photo Editor- New update not working: Loved this app and used it effortlessly for years. Ever since this new update, my photos will not upload from the iCloud and the app is completely unusable. Very frustrating!
- [R96] Photo Editor- Great App however crashes a lot: This application is amazing and I’ve been using it for years. I remember first using this when I had an iPhone 5, and I’m still using it when I need to with my iPhone 12. As great and simple as this app is, I’ve noticed that it crashes very often. I’m unable to create a picture on this application as it continues to crash repeatedly. I’m reluctant to find another
- [R17] Baby Pics Don’t get fooled by downloading this: It’s free to download but needs money to edit photos what a shame
- [R101] Photo Editor- Great but could be better: It is good I wish I could remove things from the background. You get it for free. But you have to pay to use the plus version.
- [R107] Photo Editor- The best photo editor ever!!: This app is so amazing, and has so many filter options to choose from. Even if you can’t upgrade to pro, the free version is still amazing and allows you to choose from several different filters and you can even adjust the brightness exposure and so much more!! I really suggest this to everyone!!!
- [R19] Baby Pics 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!
- [R23] Baby Pics Fraud charge: I never intended to use this app, they charged me for a yearly subscription, and did not provide me with my money in return, the app is not in use at all.
- [R119] Photo Editor- Recommend another app: I used this for years. Whatever they’ve updated, it’s ruined the app. I’ve been trying to upload a photo for half an hour. Recommend another editing app.
- [R13] Baby Pics 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!!!!
- [R27] Baby Pics Charged for “free trial”: Was offered a free 30-day trial in app, took it, was immediately charged for the full year. Reached out to request a refund and immediate cancellation, was told it’s not eligible. The app is incredibly basic and all functions can be completed in other free apps, I don’t see a need for this and I’m irritated to have been charged $34.99 for something so silly.
