HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (23 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription32%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ When the new version launched it tricked me into believing I needed a subscription to use the features I use to get for free and then it subscripted me to an entire year and I couldn't get a refund.
★★★★★ Stop making an app look free, then add the subscription price upon opening it.
★★★★★ There's no option to cancel the subscription on the app, and customer support doesn't even acknowledge my request to cancel the subscription.
Bugs, things not working14%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This new version is a completely different app that doesn't work.
★★★★★ You click manage media & it won't load the media after selected
★★★★★ Then it got super glitchy and wouldn't access all the features and oddly it was always requesting to be 'allowed access' to read and write from my settings
Worse after an update14%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ When the new version launched it tricked me into believing I needed a subscription to use the features I use to get for free and then it subscripted me to an entire year and I couldn't get a refund.
★★★★★ The update is COMPLETELY different than the original concept that could have either added as an extra feature or maybe even a different app all together.
★★★★★ I'm uninstalling as this is not just an "update" but a complete rework of UI and function.
Lost data, sync, backup7%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I deleted it right away - and unsubscribed- what a scam.
★★★★★ It does have filters but adds those setting even apply to the areas you deleted.
Wrong or poor results7%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ When the overlay is complete and the new photo is uploaded, it becomes extremely blurry.
★★★★★ It's a good app thats easy to use, but when you're ready to save your image, it instantly degraded the quality and makes it very fuzzy
No customer support7%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ There's no option to cancel the subscription on the app, and customer support doesn't even acknowledge my request to cancel the subscription.
★★★★★ Any created to cut out photos that will only save with a transparent background unless you upgrade tells me what the developer set out to do with this app and it's not what I want to support.
Missing features7%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Missing the old version that use to be my go-to.
★★★★★ There's no option to cancel the subscription on the app, and customer support doesn't even acknowledge my request to cancel the subscription.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Every time I add a second image onto the main one to overlay, there's visible lines on the export some reason where the additional image was pasted in. 2★, Jul 30, 2026
  • Stop making an app look free, then add the subscription price upon opening it. 1★, Jun 23, 2026

  • I really like it but I have a few requests: Please make a way to adjust the colors/brightness/saturation on the images. 5★, Oct 23, 2019
  • Second, it would be nice to add a blender tool like a blender brush or a smudger brush. 5★, Oct 23, 2019
  • These problems aren't really too bad and right now I can fix them using another app like Snapseed but it would be nice to not switch apps. 5★, Oct 23, 2019

★★★★★ Huge advantage that's so easy to use.
★★★★★ Works great. Would like a multi-layer feature but flattening before each new layer is okay. Really detailed, appreciate the zoom
Worth the money11%

7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's fast, simple, responsive, and a cheap lifetime subscription makes this an absolute no-brainer.
★★★★★ I recommend that it become more clear to the user, that it can be used as a free app.

New Version

Missing the old version that use to be my go-to. When the new version launched it tricked me into believing I needed a subscription to use the features I use to get for free and then it subscripted me to an entire year and I couldn’t get a refund. Now the app isn’t even doing what it easily did before. Every time I add a second image onto the main one to overlay, there’s visible lines on the export some reason where the additional image was pasted in. It use to cleanly blend.

★★★★★Jul 3, 2026
Excellent app! Excellent customer service!

There have been recent updates drastically improving the app. An excellent feathering tool has been added among other fine tuning to blend the overlays. Unlike many other app developers ,Alan Cushway actually responds! Thanks Alan!

★★★★★Jun 29, 2026
It used to be amazing

This app used to be so simple and effective . All I needed was to layer two images and it did exactly that for free. Now it has been reworked into an abomination of features other apps can do so much better . What happened to the free editor I loved. Completely ruined

★★★★★Jun 23, 2026
Update to completely different app

I used this app as my go-to overlay app. After the update I can’t even figure out how to overlay and erase anymore- this app became so complicated and lacking in instructions what the heck!!

★★★★★Jun 23, 2026
Payment

Stop making an app look free, then add the subscription price upon opening it. That’s rude, and I’d never pay for it. Not till I know how it works. You wouldn’t walk into a photoshoot you were invited to, and be expected to pay an admission fee without being told. Like?? Also stop blocking my review. I’ll sue. I am that petty.
