Couldn't even pass through the free trial screen.
★★★★ Liz G 6/14/2026 v5.5.4
All i want to do is size my photos easily to post. Now there is no free option. I can do some math to size my photos if i need to.
★★★★ Casiana Popovici 6/5/2026
Not much to offer and most of it is for Premium. I don't understand how it has such a high rating.
★★★★ Derek P 5/31/2026 v5.5.3
Won't let you use unless you sign up for 3 day trial of premium version
★★★★ Anonymous 5/20/2026 v5.5.2
not free
★★★★ Brandon 5/17/2026 v5.5.1
This app is genuinely awful. I started the free trial because I needed one extremely basic thing: resize a profile photo without destroying the quality. Apparently, that is too much to ask. Every export made my photo look blurry, softened, and lower quality, and there is no clear way to control export quality, preserve the original resolution, or stop the app from ruining the image. For an app that exists specifically for social media photo formatting, it fails at the most basic requirement
★★★★ Diana Suciu 5/15/2026 v5.5.1
will not let you use the free features without signing up for a premium trial
★★★★ Majid Khan 5/13/2026
the app won't start until you put in payment card details. if it's 100% paid then why listed as free to use.
★★★★ surendra naidu 5/9/2026 v5.5.0
waste of time
★★★★ nageshwar rao adhikarala 5/4/2026 v5.4.1
three days trial as initial message.
★★★★ Andrew 4/17/2026
This dodgy app asks for credit card details to be used.
★★★★ Haley Carleton 4/14/2026 v5.4.0
I've always used this app and have loved it for YEARS now. Lately when I try to use it, and it just sits there as a blank white screen. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing it, but to no avail. I'm not sure if it needs some bug fixes or what. But it looks like I'm gunna have to find another photo editing app. Bummer.
★★★★ A Google user 4/12/2026 v5.3.1
Loved this app. Used it for years. now you cant use it without a subscription. uninstalling!!
★★★★ Sohail Ali 4/4/2026
You cannot use this app without enabling the auto-payment.
★★★★ Priyanka Dwarg 3/29/2026 v5.3.0
worst app 😑
★★★★ Nicole E 3/20/2026 v5.2.1
Not free to use anymore. Used to be able to use the app, not sure when it was updated but you need a premium account now to even do the basic resizing of a picture. Very disappointed as I used to use all the time. The app is falsely advertised as free to use which is illegal
★★★★ Tim Russell 3/16/2026 v5.2.0
guess it's no longer free.
★★★★ Flounder 3/11/2026
Why pay for this garbage? It's such a simple thing, and the ads it forces on you when you try to use it for free... I said don't allow access to notifications, and next thing I know none of my gallery even appears in the app. This app is garbage.
★★★★ Kristina Rhoades (Kristi) 3/11/2026 v4.5.3
Use to love this app. When did It not become free? I know there was some premium things that you could buy but there was a basic free section too :/
★★★★ James Smythe 3/8/2026
does not resize. just nags to get card payment detail afaics.
★★★★ Sadie Lepley 3/5/2026 v5.2.0
used to be good but now I have to pay to use the app used to be free real shame
★★★★ Charlie Boy 3/3/2026
$11.99 a month for a photo editor is ridiculous
★★★★ Vaughn Paradise 3/3/2026 v4.2.30
I have to subscribe to get back in the App?? no thanks
★★★★ Robert Shook 2/26/2026
Terrible. Destroys image quality and introduces artifacts
★★★★ And Brav 2/21/2026
what happened. money grabbing. used to just give images with some ads. now requires payment, and needlessly adds AI that literally nobody asked for. and harvests your data. huge shame. will never use again.
★★★★ Jose Flores 2/14/2026 v4.5.3
all of a sudden you add a.i, and want us to pay for premium for a simple feature. Remind yourself you are here because of your supporters. Fix yourself
★★★★ KezerB 2/14/2026 v5.0.0
