8 of 15I subscribed to the weekly. I see the charge and the subscription in my Apple account. When I open the app I go to a splash screen telling me to subscribe. Hitting restore doesn’t work. Logging out doesn’t work. Nothing works.
This app was once my favorite editor. Has a lot of really nice features. But as of lately (06/2026) it has become absolutely terrible. You aren't allowed to save anything without an add that will not close forcing you to close the entire app and lose your progress. What was once a fantastic platform for heavy edits, is now, like many others, a sad shell of its former self due to greedy developers and the subscription(sell your self) system that has been forced upon us.
Free version allows me to do what I need with an Easy layout.
I love the app!
Was the best editor ever, always used it for everything. Went to use it today, I have to pay a subscription now no warning, literally can't do anything on the app without paying. This app used to be completely free(besides some stickers and fonts etc) then it went to "You can only edit X amount of photos before you have to pay to do more" Now you can't edit anything at all without subscribing. I'm deleting this app forever thanks a lot developers.
Nope
I have used this app for years and years. It was fabulous to begin with. They just keep adding options & making it better & better. I am not even kidding. LOVE this app.
All behind very aggressive pay wall
