★★★★ Sushi X (Sushi) 4/27/2026 v17.2.0
features that used to be free are now locked behind a paid subscription. I used Line Camera for literal years before they did this. I'll never use it again.
★★★★ Frank 4/21/2026 v18.2.7
Won't go past the terms of use psge
★★★★ Kristin Mellen 4/11/2026
The collage feature isnt working. This is one of the main reasons I use this app. Very disappointing!
★★★★ Jenny Welsh Dos Santos 4/10/2026 v18.2.5
I've used this app for over 12 years, even after stopped using Line, I kept using Line Camera, and now it's impossible to use. What used to be free, now you have to pay for and it's super buggy. Tonight I can't even create a collage cause after picking the pictures the Next button doesn't work. It's so sad! I used to love this app, not anymore. I'll be looking for a replacement...
★★★★ Kalia Lollie 4/7/2026 v18.2.3
Very awful. Premium? I can't imagine paying money just to save an image. Why? It's such a slap in the face to all of your loyal and long-time users. Especially after years of already giving you money from purchasing stickers/frames. This was a terrible decision. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Uninstalling, immediately.
★★★★ Nui Ts 3/28/2026 v18.2.1
Application is very not stable and can't working and have many bugs incuding a lot of advertisement too that in many times after application had updated and launch new version already. The Application usually not working and can't change and adjust any photoes by after choose photo and choose filter already but don't have any change of photp happen!! why the application have many bugs and error?? Please kindly check and solve this bug problem as soon as possible.
★★★★ Aurora Cavazos 3/28/2026 v18.2.1
It started crashing all of the sudden when using the camera. I uninstalled it and it still wont let me take photos but I can edit them.
★★★★ Mason 3/10/2026 v18.1.5
when I go to edit photos it just sits on a white screen.
★★★★ dhairyashil gaikwad 3/10/2026 v18.1.5
old version editing function very useful new version not useful
★★★★ Sandeep Singh 3/9/2026 v18.1.5
This new updated app we can not take a screen shot old version was heaps better
★★★★ Akiyoru Suzune 3/5/2026 v14.2.17
I paid once for the stickers, I am NOT going to pay for a freaking subscription just so that i can use them just cus you chose to put them behind paywall without warning and for no reason.
★★★★ Mai Mai 2/28/2026 v18.1.2
BAD. used to be my go-to editing program and now it's all AI, ads, and AI ads. borderline unusable. use something else.
★★★★ Chi 2/20/2026 v17.6.1
Its been a while since I used this app. I just opened it today to edit a picture, but its now allowing me to save it? what the heck? am I missing something? I have purchased frames and stickers and just wanted to edit this one photo I have. whats the point of me purchasing, or even using this app anymore if i cant use what I purchased with my own money? this is dumb
★★★★ ong elena09 2/19/2026
this app is so ugly unlike before i bought stamp cant use it now
★★★★ Leah Smith 2/17/2026 v18.1.2
This app was the best, now I can't even get it to load!
★★★★ Nica D 2/14/2026 v15.4.2
get rid of the ai filters immediately.
★★★★ Tobi Northcutt 2/10/2026 v18.0.4
Unusable after the premium option was introduced. Very buggy and slow, can't even save edited pics at the moment. Very upset since I can't use the stickers I've bought over the years. Very disappointing betrayal by an app I used to love, and even occasionally spend money on for cute stickers. Never again.
★★★★ Hayley 2/7/2026 v18.1.0
I've used this app for so many years and now it's near unusable. Features that were free got locked behind a subscription paywall and there's ads everywhere. It's now buggy and weighed down by AI features that no one wants. I keep it installed because I still like the stickers I bought, but will not purchase any more.
★★★★ Kelly Macuilliam 2/2/2026 v18.0.4
would give 5 stars but a buy frames and then it says I have to get premium after I spent 2/3 bucks on the frames and or stickers and they don't have a customer support link or anything
★★★★ Nahir Briceno 1/19/2026 v18.0.4
Very stupidly expensive the quality was beautiful before. Stickers are too transparent. It is not worthy.
★★★★ N C 1/18/2026 v15.7.3
Worse than before. Really sad and disappointed about it.
★★★★ Silent Night 1/18/2026 v18.0.4
New update: The error came back... q n q I was so excited and happy when kt worked..
★★★★ X Yuanzhi 1/18/2026 v18.0.4
all my previous bought stickers and frame are all gone. i can not use them again!!!! why????!!! you said it is forever!!! and now i have to subscribe???? so dissapointed!!!!!!!!
★★★★ Jintei 1/8/2026 v18.0.4
Used to love this app, been using for years but the latest update totally broke it, refuses to load
★★★★ Lee A 1/6/2026 v18.0.3
This was a great app for years, but I can no longer recommend it. The majority of fairly basic features that used to be free are locked behind the premium wall. On top of that, the app doesn't even function well anymore. Half the time when I try to open a photo to edit, I'll just get stuck on a white screen or an ad and have to close and restart. The few filters that are still available for free don't apply properly and sliding the intensity scale does nothing. The end of an era. What a shame!
★★★★ Bart Purser 1/6/2026 v18.0.4
It used to be a nice camera app, but in the past year the ads and other junk tacked on make this a no go. Update 1/2026 I have had enough. This app is now complete garbage, deleting after 10 yrs of use. ☹️
★★★★ Magnus Roe 1/5/2026 v18.0.3
full screen ads when opening now ? yeah, screw this app, uninstalled.
★★★★ Laura Bridgman 1/2/2026 v18.0.1
ever since the subscription model was introduced I have to constantly restore my purchases and I can no longer use it in dark mode, making it physically painful for me to use due to light sensitivity. I spent hundreds of dollars on this app, I used to love editing photos with stickers and frames from it, but now it's unusable. :(
★★★★ Milagros Faytaren 12/31/2025
i paid for all my downloads. It says valid until forever. Then why is it telling me that my premium has expired and I cannot access those i bought?
★★★★ Krista Errickson (blacksheep_nation) 12/30/2025 v17.3.1
Update: had this app since 2011. Despite being a legacy member, and a gallery archive, paid products like stamps, I opened the app to discover everything was stripped. All my filters,gone. However, if I subscribed to want to PRO, I could get them back ...No. I stuck with this app with unstable and no updates, for years. Still, gave them 5⭐ reviews. What's better? Nothing. I won't be blackmailed. Shame!
★★★★ Joanna Brannon 12/27/2025 v17.6.1
This app was amazing for years until now, i don't know why they decided to completey change the entire app but I hope they change it back exactly how it was before. this version sucks. You used to be able to crop an image and it would add negative space to make your image the right size, now it does not do that. it will only crop within the original image. it's like theyre trying to make their app a replica of Picsart. I miss the old Line camera
★★★★ N C 12/22/2025 v17.7.1
Becoming unuseable used to LOVE this app but now it's riddled with problems ever since they added their "subscription" option. Every time it updates, it's worse. Blank screens that take forever to load, when editing with the frames/stickers I keep getting "you're not connected to a network" only for it to suddenly load a few seconds later. Today I had the worst glitch, in which when I saved my picture, all of the stickers were skewed from where I placed them and cut off. VERY disappointed
★★★★ Helena Natalia 12/19/2025 v17.6.1
it suddenly stop, the option to fix the photo suddenly disappear after use it fir 2 times
★★★★ C Z 12/13/2025 v17.7.1
Can't download anything after the update. Paid premium for nothing
★★★★ Pol Sola 12/12/2025 v17.7.1
I'm so disappointed with this app. I downloaded it over 10 years ago and it always helped me do my job well. It was my favorite app, but now that they charge for the service, there are many bugs. It deletes the main images of the edit almost at the end. Be careful because you'll lose all your work, especially if it's a large file.
★★★★ Yas Hagh 12/12/2025 v17.7.0
after updated it doesn't work
★★★★ Tessa Bananas 12/10/2025
used to love this app. now it's 10x more ads than ever. finally uninstalling
★★★★ Shadan Fukai 12/10/2025 v17.1.0
used to be good. now requires payment to do anything
★★★★ Skyla B 12/7/2025 v17.6.2
used to be able to edit and save, now it wants me to pay just to save my edits. L. M. A. O.
★★★★ RavagedbyDamage 11/29/2025 v17.6.1
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra - I'm unable to use a feature to make a 1:1 photo without cropping it. Loved this app until that feature was taken out.
★★★★ Damien Filigree 11/22/2025
can no longer view frames since update- says there's a connection error but everything else is fine?
★★★★ _ 11/19/2025 v17.6.1
I was using this because there was no ai, and now they just added it. Uninstalled the second I got the notification.
★★★★ Lief Orion 11/18/2025 v17.6.1
I have HAD IT with subscriptions. I have used this app for years now. Spent so much money buying stickers + deco- using it consistently and now it's not accessible anymore
★★★★ Jenny Shao 11/16/2025 v17.6.1
Crashes way too often when I download stickers, and too many ads.
★★★★ Cortney 11/7/2025 v17.5.4
Used to love this app and was more than willing to pay the $1.50 or so for stickers and frames. Now I can't even use the app anymore because of glitches, lag, and ads. Why would I pay for a subscription just to use filters?!
★★★★ A. René Holmes 11/1/2025 v17.4.1
Why can't we adjust the picture to fit inside a different size anymore? crop feature has been disabled for this, but if I choose Instagram post size, I want to pit the whole image in there. Now I can't adjust it at all. This app just gets worse and worse. I wish I'd never invested in buying all the stickers.
★★★★ Ino 10/27/2025
These past few years, the app has been getting worse and worse with ads. Ive finally hit my breaking point. The ads are very deceiving in terms of how small the exit button is and how it hides until you wait maybe 5 seconds. Getting 3 of these in a row just for 1 picture is ridiculous
★★★★ Luka Kurosuzeria 10/26/2025 v17.5.4
After I tried the trial, I enjoyed it but it won't let me pay premium.
★★★★ Christin M 10/24/2025
a photo editing app that no longer lets you save your work. avoid!
★★★★★ Shiny Emm 4/21/2026 v18.2.7
Loved this app for 10 years... Been really sad to watch the decline of this app's quality. Once was free but now there are ads. That WOULD be ok but the ads shown are total spam! It's all scams, AI, and/or inappropriate. What little is left of the free features barely work. Each update feels worse than the last. These days you can only do very basic editing for free. Last update was my last straw. If the developers still care, they NEED to fix what they have before they all of its users.
