★★★★ andrew v 4/25/2026 v2.4.11
Downloaded app from another app. Opened app, asked for my credit card info immediately then straight to an ad. such a joke.
★★★★ German Ortiz 4/23/2026
this app is overriding older apps without permission
★★★★ Ghislaine Fernandez 3/27/2026 v2.2.12
no tiene nada de creatividad

Didn't like it at all.
★★★★ Donovon Williams 1/20/2026
got an advertisement asking to update my collage app, and it downloaded this garbage. It's a genuinely worst picture editing app, with unskippable unclosable advertisements. do not download.
★★★★ Stephanie 1/11/2026 v2.3.10
Deceptive ad - disguised itself in another photo editing app as an update needed prompt. Ridiculous and unethical.
★★★★ Nick Passamonti 1/1/2026 v2.3.01
scam trash
★★★★ Rachel Antonucci 1/1/2026
This was a FANTASTIC app to collage images - simple, clean, minimal ads. The update is awful - it's super slow, I spent more time watching ads than actually doing what I wanted to, and they've added all sorts of AI that I really don't want and can't get away from. Really disappointed that a great app was ruined, and I've uninstalled it.
★★★★ Samantha Codding 12/21/2025
Will not let me make a collage just keeps sending me to ads, will be removing app!!!!
★★★★ Ruben Ojeda 12/15/2025 v2.2.23
Terrible, didn't use any of the premium features and was stuck in a loop where I couldn't save without buying premium
★★★★ Desmond Murray 12/1/2025
this updated version is absolute trash garbage.... uninstall the app because can't use videos no more...smh
★★★★ Eric Sugimoto 11/25/2025
deceptive add. made it seem like I needed to update my app, but it was instead to download. I should have known better, but do not give ur money to an app that is shady like this one
★★★★ Michael Howard 11/24/2025
to many ads !!!!
★★★★ Kelly 11/24/2025 v2.2.21
terrible update. The app became an Ad cesspool. Owners are more obsessed with money than happy customers
★★★★ Beatriz Guerra 11/14/2025 v2.2.15
I was trying to make a collage.butit keeps going to adds and it won't let me finish any of the steps. if I was able to give it zero Stars. I would.. it goes from one add to another. I've been with this app for an hour and I have not been able to complete one step because ads keep popping up continuously. it makes it extremely hard to even make a collage.. in my opinion this app sucks.
★★★★ Joey sims 11/13/2025
trash
★★★★ Alethea Middleton 10/31/2025
What a scammmmmm.. This app posted an ad that looked like my existing app needed an updated...and the X didn't show up until after I finally clicked to update. Can't believe I fell for it. Uninstalled immediately and would NEVER trust this. Definitely sus.
★★★★ A J 10/27/2025 v2.2.12
Predatory ad. I was in another photo editing app and this one popped up stating an update is available. I thought it was for the app I was using. It's a completely different app. Deceptive ad which lied to get me to download it. I was fooled, shame on me. 1 star rating, shame on the ad creators.
★★★★ Amanda Keller 10/24/2025 v2.2.12
POS. if you want a direct link to tiktok use this app. if you want to do anything other than get redirected to tiktok, don't.
★★★★ Julio C. Toledo 10/18/2025 v2.2.06
I vehemently despise the fact that you use inescapable ads with your app. There was this one time that it took me more than 2 hours to make a collage of 4 pictures because the ads would not stop being inescapable, put me straight into the Playstore, and would not let me continue the work that I was trying to do through your app. Just because I want to do things for free doesn't mean that I will acquiesce to your problematic application. No one should use your app.
★★★★ Amy P 10/15/2025 v2.2.01
was tricked into installing this by a misleading ad that claimed it was an update for my existing app. ONE STAR FOR LYING.
★★★★ Jodi 10/12/2025
have been using this for years with no problem, but they just changed it from photogrid to photoup and added so many ads it isn't even usable anymore. freaking sucks. it's super frustrating
★★★★ Breevah Eva 10/11/2025
The update has made the app unusable. Only really used it to slap collages together but now there's an ad for a game and once it plays you cant go back to the app. just keeps opening google play to download the game. delete and find a different app
★★★★ Carlos Elizondo 10/7/2025 v2.1.12
every little thing you do, forced ads!
★★★★ Ryan 10/6/2025 v2.1.12
The old app was better, easy to use especially for editing blemishes and fun stuff like bloating people's faces or shrinking them. The "updated" version is dumbed down simple editing my phone can do on it's own. why would I use this app anymore? Don't recommend. same as any other app out there today.
★★★★ Katie Potato 10/6/2025 v2.1.12
would not recommend. ads are entirely too long and make the whole app feel very unusable.
★★★★ Bug A-Boo 10/5/2025 v2.1.12
way to many ads y'all. why can there ever be like a good photo editor that doesn't make u pay and is not full of ads every time you click something. I hate society.
★★★★ Nique B 10/5/2025 v2.1.12
Trash! What's with all the full screen ads now? Why did you change the app? The last one was perfectly fine. Deleting asap, byeeeee
★★★★ Rick Turlington 10/5/2025 v2.1.12
Worst F'in ad serving I've experienced! Completely obnoxious and unbearable! F-you!!!! Immediately UNINSTALLED.
★★★★ Tom Savadel 10/5/2025 v2.1.12
adds are so bad now its useless. just deleted it.
★★★★ Joanna Wilson 10/4/2025 v2.1.12
wow so complicated to use and there's an ad to watch for every few taps. Too hard to use and not worth the subscription when there are others out there that provide easier use for cheaper
★★★★ Jo Blue 10/4/2025
omg I had never seen an app with sooo many ads its crazy... its like every 2 sec... the app is horrible aswell... even if you want to buy it you cant even try it due to apps...
★★★★ Bart Sagan 10/1/2025 v2.1.12
Too many ads. By the time it opens up you don't want to use it anymore.
★★★★ Lisa 10/1/2025 v2.1.12
terrible
★★★★ Jessica Jones 9/30/2025 v2.1.12
to much gaming forced and takes to long to use
★★★★ Vicky Torres 9/30/2025
stinks! ads are SUPER aggressive find another app. I haven't used it in a while so this update sucks you have to watch a 30sec ad for almost every action you take.
★★★★ Kat 9/29/2025 v2.1.12
not free after years of free with ads. sad. deleting.
★★★★ The Plant Park llc 9/28/2025 v2.1.10
forced me to install and now I'm uninstalling
★★★★ Valerie Zepeda 9/28/2025 v2.1.10
I was using the old app and purchased the lifetime premium version. Now this new app is prompting me to pay monthly 👎🏼
★★★★ F.c. L 9/28/2025
what a complete junk garbage app. I mean I'm actually willing to pay for our apps but this is junk and garbage and just pushes you into playing video games. like I picked the trial membership and it forced me into playing evony video game. so it's not even a usable art app like you can't use it at all it's just forces you into playing video games. what in atrocious complete waste of time because it's a absolute aggressive clickbait trap.
★★★★ Simon Ehrlich 9/27/2025 v2.1.10
Absolutely garbage malware as of the last update. No longer able to even get to the photo editor. The ads are super aggressive, full screen, the first was skippable but then when I went to edit a photo a playable game ad came up. I waited 30 seconds and still no button to get back to the app. Back button is hijacked, does nothing no matter how many times you press it rapidly. Have to force the app closed to get out of it. Absolutely useless now. Uninstall it and stay away.
★★★★ c q 9/26/2025 v2.1.10
absolutely trash. forced update and it's a totally new app, and ita garbage
★★★★ tru olson 9/25/2025
the app worked fine before. i don't need or want AI integration. my own creativity is all i need.
★★★★ April Butler 9/25/2025 v2.1.05
will not stop crashing out. I just did the update and it just keeps going back to the main page where you pick a picture. won't allow me to edit anything!
★★★★ Curt Hayes 9/25/2025
Everything was perfect before the update, now there is an add every 5 seconds and NOTHING works. DELETE!!!
★★★★ Alec Immerman 9/24/2025 v2.1.05

★★★★ Kim Maio 9/24/2025 v2.1.10

★★★★ Rosemary Franzen 9/24/2025

★★★★ Matt 9/24/2025 v2.1.05
