Made - Story Maker & Collage for Negative User Reviews

I would love this app if...I would love this app if it was proportioned correctly to fit in the instagram feed. It cuts off the top and bottom so no matter how pretty the design is I can’t use it. Will have to stick to photoshop..Version: 1.2.35

Not GoodI just have my iPhone updated and I had this exact app but it was called StoryArt and I pay the lifetime membership of $39. Now the app is not in the app store so I can’t use it. Then I downloaded this one to find out that is exactly the same app same layouts. This is a scam? StoryArt app and this one are the same, are you going to change the app name again? I don’t get it....Version: 1.2.25

Not many free options anymoreI used to really like Made when they had a couple of free templates from each collection. However, they made most of them only available to subscribers now, so as a free user you basically have around 3 collections of templates to choose from, which, given the rest of the choices available, is pretty limited. I’m very disappointed and might have to find a new app if they don’t change things to serve the free users better....Version: 1.2.09

Gets worse over timeEvery time I log into this app less templates are available. Also disappointed that during pride month they’ve taken the pride templates off the free feature. Clearly just trying to make you pay for premium..Version: 1.2.24

Took my money.Cancelled this app before the day the free trial was done and still was charged for the year. Have not yet gotten my money back..Version: 1.0.46

I’m disappointed...I absolutely loved this app! Especially because it gives the opportunity to get the templates for free if you shared to 5 people. BUT Little did I know that that would only buy me a short lived trial. The app advertises itself as free if you share, but then sells you short. Pretty disappointed. Without that issue this would be the best template app out on the App Store..Version: 1.2.17

They took away all the free optionsI loved this app and used it for about a year. The first two options of every theme used to be free and I loved it. Now only 4 in total are free. So I can no longer use the app. I am not paying £4.99 a month for some photo layouts for goodness sake- that’s the same price as Disney plus...and that’s providing a lot more than pic layouts..Version: 1.2.19

Yet another app that wants me to pay for a subscriptionAmazing looking app, amazing looking templates, I really want to pay for this ap...oh no, it’s another app that wants me to get a subscription. £5 a month? No, just no..Version: 1.2.25

Could use some improvementsHello, I’ve only had this for all of two days, and the fact that some templates you cannot full customize is somewhat frustrating. I suppose long gone are the days of fully customizing your own content. While I appreciate the time the developers have taken with keeping up with current social trends, and making beautiful templates. The fact still remains that it is for the mindless creator. Only interested in using other people’s works instead of creating something of their own. I think the definition template should be customizable. I don’t want to use the 5 terms you have listed, I want to bring awareness to the other thousands of words that are in the dictionary..Version: 1.0.21

Good app but ..I got charged for a whole year subscription but I didn’t want that. I woke up the next morning to an automatic charge on my account but I didn’t even click that option.. I’m on a student budget it’s $30 CDN and that’s too much for me. Please cancel this . I already unsubscribed.Version: 1.2.07

Rip off$31 for a year subscription, not worth it.Version: 1.0.51

Crashes and doesn’t save properlyShockingly bad technical abilities. A shame because this app featured some cool, creative templates..Version: 1.2.04

Doesn’t start upI can’t even get past “get started” button ????.Version: 1.2.24

Cool design, not super user friendlyLove the different layouts however when editing the text it’s super difficult. There’s glitches, you can’t see your actual text when typing, select just a word to edit/correct, and fixing small mistakes is hard. If they’d fix some of the editing tools it be much better..Version: 1.0.56

FraudThey make you to subscribe for free for a week but there is no option to unsubscribe or cancel the subscription! Don’t download!.Version: 1.0.56

Rip offI had the free trial and cancelled before 7 days, I’m still getting charged every month by this company. I’ve sent several emails already and no one has contacted me back, just an automated reply. Don’t waste your time and your mine with this app..Version: 1.2.25

Recent changes 👎🏾👎🏾I’ve been using Made for a while more and really enjoyed it until the developers simply removed 80% of the free templates you used to get and now made them part of the subscription. I get the fact everyone wants to make money but why offer something for free for so long and then take it away. If you have new templates that cost, that’s fine. However moving templates that were once free (even if it was just the first two of a set that used to be free) but moving these under the subscription model and forcing folks to pay makes for a bad user experience with the app. I used this app for its variety and the fact they at least offered a decent selection of free templates. Not anymore. And hey I’m just one user out of thousands but I’ll say my piece anyway. New users won’t know the difference but long time users will. Previous app rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Current rating ⭐️⭐️.Version: 1.2.07

Can’t upload photosFor some reason it doesn’t find certain images on my phone and I therefore can’t upload those images..Version: 1.0.51

Too many bugs, watermarksWhat’s the point in getting the premium version if I’m still stuck with “made” watermarks on a majority of the templates. I’ll be asking for a refund as I literally got zero upgrades from my free account. No additional templates were unlocked after I made the purchase either..Version: 1.2.30

Nothing specialThe App Store is filling up with these kind of apps helping you make your social media presence more interesting. This adds a little more interest but not as much as the price tag would suggest..Version: 1.2.04

False advertising!!!Claims 34 free templates only 8, need to update bio as this is false advertising..Version: 1.2.24

Weird parts of this don’t workI’d really like this but there is something really broken with the way you edit typed text. Its frustrating enough that I stop using it out of frustration. I’m hoping they fix this bug so that this can be a pretty decent app..Version: 1.0.56

Great templates, bad save quality.I have the paid version of this app, and while I love the templates, large selection of backgrounds and font options, I’ve been having a lot of freezing lately, glitches where my template doesn’t save after I save it (and have to completely recreate it). Aside from that, I have noticed that the save quality isn’t very good. When I upload my saved page, the colors are muted and not as vibrant (especially with text), and slightly blurry/softened instead of how crisp they appear in-app. I looked in the settings to see if there was an option for the image quality at which a page is saved and found nothing. This probably bothers me the most and I’m considering whether I’ll want to renew at this point since I want clear, crisp stories..Version: 1.2.24

GlitchesI’ve reloaded this app but everytime I want to put a background pic it just cancels and returns to home page .. won’t be subscribing...Version: 2.0.78

LayoutsTerrible layout, the layout is not the same size when I save or share picture on Instagram. Unable to crop the layouts..Version: 1.2.25

Waste of money.Expensive and not user friendly.Version: 1.2.24

Premium vs FreeI can’t find any free templates, all are premium. It seems as you can only get a template if you buy premium. Templates are nice however there should be free ones..Version: 1.2.13

RubbishAnother annoying thing. They hardly have any templates and the ones they have are almost all branded with the company name - despite charging 18£ for it. So we can’t even get non branded layouts for that amount. Honestly DONT buy this.Version: 1.2.04

Cancelled after free trial and still chargedThis app is awful in comparison to others, I would recommend storychic for anyone looking for a good storyboard prep. I cancelled my subscription after my free trial and I’ve still be charged. Very unhappy customer..Version: 1.2.04

GlitchyReally liked this app but it started glitching a lot recently which is a bummer because I paid for it. Issues with text not showing up that I typed or not being able to delete the sample text from the template. Really irritating and hard to work with..Version: 1.2.04

Skipped Opportunity. Disappointed.I’m a photographer and a creative enthusiast and I always like to be as creative as I can with sharing because presentation is important to me. This app popped up as a suggestion to me, and I loved the instant black and white, the fun typography that could be use with this app so I downloaded it. I can’t even use this app without being forced into a membership. I HATE forced memberships for anything, and don’t believe that one has to have a membership just to enjoy an app. I can understand if there was a one time purchase of this app or even paying extra to upgrade to a premium version but a forced membership? Nope. Not for me. I’ll have to remove this app since I can’t use it, and I’m not interested in the free trial either..Version: 1.2.14

Super ugly water mark on every templateI used to really like using this app. Any time someone asked I always told them to use made. In the latest update, they went and added “made on made” water mark in all the templates. We pay to use this app and they still put a watermark on every template. It’s not small it’s huge and ugly.Version: 1.2.30

Not consistentI like the app but every time I add or edit text, the settings change. One day I can alter the size of the text and then the next day I can’t. I was able to have a background for the text that filled the whole text box and now the background is only behind the words themselves..Version: 1.2.02

Paid for premium but won’t let me use itI paid a one off payment for premium in order not to have to subscribe. It hasn’t allowed me to move from the free templates. I clicked “already premium?” And it does nothing. Considering how expensive the one off payment is, I’m very disappointed. The money has been taken out of my bank account, yet I’m not able to use the service. I have deleted, re-downloaded and attempted restoring purchases but nothing happens. I would like my money back or premium to actually work..Version: 1.2.03

Barely any free layoutsThe new update has removed most of the layouts that were once free 😫 very disappointing.Version: 1.2.25

Great idea but can’t edit textIs it a glitch or are you not able to edit the pre-written text such as “Special Value”, “$3.99”, or even the Made template that says “made” numerous times? Seems kinda like a useless app if you can’t.Version: 1.2.02

Color Won’t WorkThis app was working really well for a few weeks and now all of a sudden I can no longer change the color of the text which is very annoying. I need consistency and that effects my business. Please fix this or I have to find a different app. My phone and apps are all up to date. So it’s on y’all..Version: 2.0.66

NeDon’t like that I can’t add videos. In unfold you can..Version: 1.0.51

Will not add videosI like the app and have paid for subscription. However, whenever I try to create and attach videos they never appear. It’s very frustrating and I wish this glitch was fixed..Version: 2.0.57

Doesn’t load?.Version: 1.0.46

Cool templates, terrible user controlThere’s not an intuitive “settings” or “user profile” tab which would allow for better control over the purchase tier/ cancellation. It would be nicer if, when adding a text box, the orientation could be adjusted (horizontal to vertical)..Version: 2.0.66

Don’t waste your time or moneyOnce you create your story or photo when you click on it to save the whole app closes and you have no access to the work you created. I paid for the premium monthly subscription and the app still has this glitch and the support offered no help. I had to call to tell them I paid for premium even when you click that you’re already premium and paid the app doesn’t recognize this either. So I made my stories and can’t even save or have access to them, waste of time. This app needs all these glitches to be addressed and stop taking people’s money in the meantime..Version: 1.2.25

Great app until it stops workingI was loving this app until it randomly just refused to work. I would put my photos into a template and it just wouldn’t load and I would be stuck on this same screen for hours..Version: 1.2.14

I was charged even though I cancelled my subscription weeks before???? I dont understand. I cancelled my subscription and used the app literally for one day but I was still charged for nothing. I need a refund!.Version: 1.2.24

Font won’t enlargeTried emailing, hadn’t fast response great customer service but the problem is still there. None of the fonts can be enlarged. They can be minimised but then you can’t go back to enlarge. None of them.Version: 1.2.24

Stuck on free trial mode after purchasing premiumDon’t pay for this app. I paid for a year subscription and it never updated to premium options. The email support isn’t very helpful..Version: 1.2.19

BadThis app has to many templates , You can strangely not write actual stories what the app is meant for.Version: 1.2.17

Glitching after I just subscribedI really like the variety of the app and the different styles of stories you can make! Except, I was really disappointed and upset when I bought the paid version and right after that it started glitching. When I would write out something on one of the templates and went to save it, it only showed half of what I wrote! It would leave out like the most important part of what I wanted to say. I tried using a different template, closing the app and starting over, and I even tuned my phone off and on again. If they could fix this problem, I would definitely use the app because I really like what is offered on the paid version..Version: 1.2.03

Great app but some things don’t workGreat app but some things don’t work all the time. Some templates you click on the button to add a photo and it doesn’t open up your photos, or the little symbol just flashes on and off..Version: 1.0.28

Great app but doesn’t work 100%I really use this app a lot but it really works 100% It’s super glitchy and when I try to export and save an image it only works around 50% of the time..Version: 2.0.41

False advertisingThey ask you to invite 5 friends to the app and you get a month of premium. I had to send invites twice & nothing.Version: 1.2.25

Needs purchase for any simple stepNot worth it.Version: 1.2.19

Clunky and crashes all the timeCrashes all the time when I try to insert my own image as a background image.Version: 2.0.78

Doesn’t workKeeps crashing Doesn’t complete my image Spend ages working out nice layouts and end up loosing them because the app shuts down.Version: 1.2.03

Rip OffI paid for full usage and my App Store tells me I have a full subscription but I can’t access any of the premium features. When you click on contact us it does nothing..Version: 1.2.19

AwfulAbsolutely awful. There are not even any free templates you can try. There are better free apps out there. I deleted it after 15 min of use. Don’t bother..Version: 1.2.09

Was dope until it became a subscriptionI was using Made and loving it until I opened the app and was unable to use any of the templates without starting a “free trial”. Just about every app is moving towards this model and I’m over it. Instagram isn’t my job, there’s no reason for me to pay for something that I typically spend 30 seconds using. Bye!.Version: 1.2.14

This app is a rip offI decided to give this app a try and forgot to cancel the free trial before I got charge for 20 dollar subscription, for $20 dollars a year this app lacks a lot of functions. There’s such a limited amount of templates and they ones they have there’s very minimal editing you can do to them besides adding your photo adding a text and changing your background color! Most of the templates come with background which limits the amount of color you are able to add to the background. I think for 20 dollars the least they can do is let you design your own templates or at least let you change the text in some of the pre-existing template with the word/ “made” logos on them. Extremely disappointed in this app would not recommend !!.Version: 1.1.04

Blurry images!Should be 0 stars. First it says trial, I clicked purchase and you charged me for a year! Now that I’ve been conned into keeping this, when I share images made from the app, it’s blurry!!!! Rip off and I want a refund!.Version: 1.2.31

Fix the AppWhen you cannot save the work you made without chunks of text being somehow omitted from the final design, the app becomes useless and annoying. Fix the issues with exporting designs so that ALL of the work is actually saved..Version: 1.2.06

Getting worse - Find something elseI was in the middle of using some of the filters to create my stories and they were free. There was a lag so I decided to update. When I opened the app all of the templates that were free, were no longer free and only available with premium. Made is an absolute JOKE. Not only that but because the templates that I was using were no longer free. My story area where they should be saved were all gone. The free templates they now have available are crap..Version: 1.2.13

Not sure why this feature disappearedIt’s a great app but I’m confused a month or so ago on a few templates I could edit the text on the site and make it custom. Now for some reason I can’t and it just stays with ‘MADE’....Version: 1.2.02

Please Do Better, Still A Long Way To GoI downloaded the Made app and was excited about using it until I came across so many dysfunctions I was incredibly disappointed and stopped using the app altogether and will be cancelling my subscription. Here are my major issues with the app, and I’m sure that I’ll find more if I have the patience to use it again: 1) The MADE watermark on some of the templates is just too much. Make it smaller please. It really effects the quality of the story page. 2) It is IMPOSSIBLE to type and update captions!!! When I click to update a caption the area gets really dark and I can’t even see the words I’m typing. Then I make typos and when I go to fix them, the cursor jumps to the end of the paragraph over and over again, not allowing me to edit. It is SO ANNOYING, I honestly haven’t used your templates because of this. I get incredibly frustrated and close your app and use another one. 3) It’s impossible to make the text box bigger or smaller. We need to be able to change the size of the text box. As it is right now, we can’t make it bigger or smaller to fit our formatting needs. Another reason I shut down your app and use another one. Honestly makes me wonder if you all did any user testing at all?! Because surely they would have said something about these things!!.Version: 1.0.56

AnnoyedThe size of the layouts don’t match Instagram. Annoyed I paid money for this app and it’s not accurate for output..Version: 2.0.95

Why can’t I use premium when I’m paying for itWhy isn’t the app letting me use the premium features when I am paying for it. It says restore purchase but y’all been charging my account every month…… I have the 4.99 monthly what’s the difference between then the 20, 30, and 40 dollar one?.Version: 2.0.95

Hmm.Hmm I used to get some features free. Now it’s asking me to pay for premium to use all features. Don’t bother.Version: 1.2.17

Not workingI don’t recommend It isn’t work.Version: 1.2.25

Don’t use unless you want to payThe app used to clearly mark which frames were free and which required a paid subscription, but now you have to click each frame and see if it’s included. 95% percent of them require that you upgrade and pay monthly. It took me 10 minutes to find a free frame that would work for 3 photos. I’m sure if you’re willing to subscribe then you’ll probably like it, but there are free apps that offer a much better result, and it doesn’t take 10 minutes just to find a frame. I recommend not wasting time like I did. Lol.Version: 1.2.09

Would be helpful if there was a help page for novices!Would be better if first time users were given a bit of a video tutorial about what they should do. Played around with it, but still have some questions..Version: 1.2.04

Frozen and glitchyI really love the templates and other options and was excited to use this! However, there seem to be so many glitches. Twice I deleted my project and couldn’t find an option to undo my work. It completely froze and I couldn’t get back in. I really wanted this app to work and am disappointed it didn’t..Version: 1.2.19

Premium for inviting friends not workingThere was an option to get premium for free if you invited 5 people but once I did I still wasn’t able to use any premium templates..Version: 1.2.24

Bad Choice for Content CreatorsI write this review as both an artist and professional content creator. If you’re either of these, or if you simply have. A lot of images you want to share, this app is a bad choice. (1) the app occasionally simply fails to recognize an image in the photo library. E.g. you’ve exported 5 images that you want to put into a story, and Made will only recognize 4 of those 5. I recorded a video of this and shared it with support and support didn’t care and did not think this warranted a refund for the subscription. (2) the story creation app only allows you to select photos from the photo library and not from folders. If you’re an artist, a social media manager, or any kind of content creator, or even if you just take a lot of photos, this workflow is simply too tedious. I think the templates on Made are marginally better than the templates on Unfold. However, Unfold is priced comparably, doesn’t fail to recognize images, and allows you to select images from folders, and so it’s the better option..Version: 1.2.13

Cant cancel subscriptionGot the free trial, saw there were watermarks everywhere, deleted the app, now i cant cancel my trial.Version: 2.0.95

Love this app ...But! it becomes extremely glitchy the longer you use it. Reinstall fixes it for a while, but you loose any templates you created which is the whole reason I love it in the first place. If the glitches can’t be fixed, maybe a backup of personal templates that restores when you reinstall is the answer. Doesn’t save me time when I constantly have to start from scratch..Version: 1.2.07

LoveI love this app soooo much but PLEASE fix the glitches!! I can’t zoom in or out on photos or move text boxes🥰.Version: 1.0.36

Great design but Limited scopeGreat app for creating stories using video. One of the few without too many bugs or issues. The design is great but there are too few templates and very little scope to edit the templates..Version: 1.2.19

SMH..Awesome app but everytime I try to save anything I create it freezes and doesn’t allow me to save.. Which makes this app pretty pointless cuz I want to be able to use what I create not just stare at it in the app.. “Error saving” “Unable to save” very annoying..Version: 2.0.86

.... literally can’t do anything unless you pay.Lmfao rip off. Not going to pay so much for something so dumb. Developers let the money go to their head. It used to have some free aspects , now it doesn’t. Throw the whole app away..Version: 1.2.14

StupidBad.Version: 1.2.07

LIMITED OPTIONS FOR NON PAYERSI think this app is great . However , there aren’t enough FREE options compared to other quality content creation /photography apps. I don’t want to bother people by sending invites . I may end up deleting 🤷🏾‍♀️ Please consider more FREE options too.Version: 1.2.24

Keeps crashing when I edit text on Classic IIThe app is unusable when I try to edit text and I can’t save anything and have to start over. I’m in Classic II and when I tap to add text it disappears then the whole app crashes. I’m on a 30 day free trial now and can’t even use it Please fix and I’ll update my rating when it’s working but right now I can’t use it. Thanks.Version: 1.2.16

UselessDoesn’t let me do what I want..Version: 1.2.03

MissReally love the app but I don’t know how to cancel my subscription or if I am even paying anything ?.Version: 1.0.56

Misleading subscription ratesWhen you first login you’re only shown one subscription option - £34.99 for annual premium which it defaults to at the end of your 3 day free trial. It’s made to look like this is your only option, but it’s not. (There are cheaper options like £4.99/month) You can s also use the app without agreeing to this but it’s set up in a misleading way with no way I can find to contact the developer if the most expensive option is not actually what you wanted. Just be aware of this..Version: 1.2.40

Remove branding!I like this app, it’s probably the only one that meshes the best with my companies feed.... but I really cannot stand the branding plastered all over the templates. I could have put my own company logo and name there. I don’t mind paying to remove the branding but I really don’t think that’s an option... I wouldn’t mind having the subscription! The unfortunate part is that I’m still going to use the templates but photoshop/replicate the branding out, it’s just more time consuming. I’d rather pay!.Version: 1.2.02

Takes your moneyI purchased the year pass to use this app however every time i attempt to use it the app wants me to sign up for a free trial. I spend half of my time trying to restore my purchase so that i can use the templates I already spent good money on. Very frustrating and disappointing..Version: 1.2.16
