PhotoGrid: Video Collage Maker for Negative User Reviews

Unwanted subscription charged $45They have charged me the highest paid subscription for 1 year ,I don’t even use the app . Please refund my money..Version: 8.6.81

I used to live PhotoGrid but ……I have been using PhotoGrid for ages and loved it. However, I have now decided to delete it and use a different photo app, because I am not happy about being bombarded with advertisements for online games and now have to pay to have your logo removed from every photo. I would’ve upgraded to the paid version if it wasn’t so expensive. I think the makers of this app have become greedy. It’s a shame because it WAS a really good app..Version: 8.5.12

Used to love thisSadly this app is no longer as amazing as it once was and each update always made things better. However the latest updates have caused this app more hassle than the free collages it makes. Making a photo takes way longer than it should and once you finalize making a grid of pics you are forced to choose large medium or small and then click again to wait 10-15 seconds before it gets to the percentage which either goes from 0-100 in 5 seconds or 10 or sometimes longer so it’s about a 30 second process after you’ve finalized the photo and if you leave the app while it’s going through the motions to accept a phony call you have to do it all over again. Ughhhh.Version: 6.8.80

From 4 to 3 starsAug2018 update: I have been using this app for 2-yrs now. What keeps me getting the paid version is that, it has taking too long to save my edited photo. The 100% keeps on going and going like a circle of death. You can’t close it hoping it will save in the background or you will lose your work. Also there’s no way to save my own watermark. Every time, I edit a picture, I have to re-type my watermark which is annoying. Previous review: Great for photo touch-up and for adding text to the picture. My only gripe is there's no back button. If you mistakenly press a wrong button such us home, you will loose your work if you haven't saved it. Hoping the developer will add a feature to go back to the unsaved work..Version: 6.7.30

Please be better on videosIt cuts out half of my video on slide show😞you have to bye EVERYTHING!!!😔😔😔😖🥺🙁.Version: 8.5.62

Adverts too longI have used photo grid for years but the last 6 months or so have been very frustrating. I understand the need for adverts as a source of revenue but I have never know an app for them to go on for so long. I am absolutely fed up with watching a king drown and just as you think the advert is over he goes somewhere else. As much as I love the features in the app and have found it everything I need, I have today moved to a different photo grid/collage app as I can’t stand the length of the adverts anymore. Sorry.Version: 8.6.31

Ads like crazy.Was using this app for many years, like yeeeeaaarrrss. & now it’s bombarded with ads on top of ads. I understand it takes a lot to run an app, & i understand you want to get paid for the work you do but man.. it’s caused malfunctions on my phone, it’s overheated my phone & a lot of the stuff you used to get “for free” isn’t even available without having to pay. Am searching for a new photo editing app seeing as this one has just disappointed me & many others who’ve used it in the past. Loved when the things were accessible, now you have to watch super long ads just to remove the watermark of the app? — & to choose a photo? & for simple things?? — If you pay im sure you won’t have these troubles, but if you’re looking for a free app this one isn’t it anymore..Version: 8.5.61

Used to be my favorite - really disappointedI’ve used this app for years and years - it’s been my favorite for editing photos. I loved the choices of filters, the way the app worked was great, and most importantly it was accessible and, for the most part, completely free. After the latest update, I hopped on to edit a photo and came to discover that they’ve completely limited the amount of filters you have access to; there used to be a plethora of different folders to choose from and now you get four - the rest now cost .99¢ and up. In the past, a lot of other filters always cost money, but they’ve now changed it to be the majority. I just think that’s really crappy considering so many other things on this app now cost money and they simply don’t need to. I don’t see an issue with charging for something that you’ve worked for and I understand that it takes an entire team to get an app going, but this just seems excessive. What exactly am I paying for when the app itself is bogged down with ads and lags to the point where my phone starts to overheat when I’m simply trying to add a border to my photo? Really disappointed. Hopefully this changes, I’ll be using another app that doesn’t try to profit off of every single minuscule thing in the meantime..Version: 7.0.10

Going downhillWhen I first download this app maybe about 5 years ago it was my favorite app to go to edit my photos. Lately they have made adjustments to the app and if you are using it without a subscription I wouldn't recommend. There are ads constantly before choosing photos and then when you are finished it has more ads. I feel like it’s a bit more difficult to navigate through the app then before. To make time go faster when editing multiple photos I would screenshot then instead of going and saving them through the app because it took longer and now I can’t do that so it takes me longer to edit stuff now. Expect the watermark to be in every picture as well unless you pay. Probably will be deleting the app soon and finding something new :(.Version: 8.6.61

It’s been swell, but time to deleteHad this app for a long time and enjoyed it. It was a straightforward and simple app that did all of what I needed and none of what I didn’t. If I had needed the paid content I would have bought it. Today I open it and I realize by simply opening the app, I’ve been tricked into starting a free trial that I didn’t know about or consent to and no doubt will have the usual difficult time I read that others have cancelling predatory and dishonest surprise ‘subscription models’ that have infected the app environment and now paint every subscription-model app as suspicious. I’d have been glad to pay a one-time fair price to keep the app I originally downloaded if asked but straight up tricking me into a ‘free trial’ that has probably already dinged my credit card by now? Nope..Version: 8.1.72

What Happened?This WAS a great way to create grids etc but now it’s changed. You have to watch an ad before you can attempt saving project (fine, I get it, it’s the free version, so you need to make money somehow, but it’s a long ad) Then when you attempt to save your project (like I have been doing for years) it won’t let you unless you agree to the “3 Day Free Trial”. Sigh. Well, it was fun while it lasted..Version: 8.5.91

I used to love this app until it turned into othersThis used to be my favorite photo collage app back in the day, when it was completely free. No watermarks, no ads and ran quickly. Now after I’m forced to watch ads (just to start the collage) it freezes 80% of the time after the ad ends and won’t allow me to do anything until I hardclose the app and try again which means I have to watch all the ads again just to start the collage. Then I have to deal with things not being free. Quality reduced if you don’t pay and a watermark you can’t get rid of. I get everyone is trying to make a quick buck but it’s disappointing because this app used to be entirely different and my favorite. Due to the constant freezing and tech issues I have to find another app after all these years..Version: 8.6.31

Used to be greatThis used to be a great app - my go to for editing - even though I have adobe graphics suite- however now with all the adds & trying to force the premium subscription/taking away used fonts etc. It’s getting to the point I’ll be exploring other options..Version: 8.5.42

ScamThis photo grid app, keeps putting notifications on the screen to access a free trial. I already had a free trial. Once you have a free trial , you can no longer get that trial again for free. The notification stays on the screen and gives me three options, 1. Continue, 2. Try trial or 3. give up. Then it has an x in the upper right corner. I clicked on the x to navigate me back to the photo grid app photo editor, but it took me back to the screen with the three options. I was afraid to click on a option, because I did not want to accidentally click on the wrong option and get charged for a subscription that is not free. Because trials are only free once. This notification is misleading and is edited to confuse the app user into clicking the wrong option and making an unintended purchase. I’m going to take screenshots of this and report this as a scam.. because that’s what it is.. Stop forcing app users to subscribe to a free subscription when they have already had a free subscription and stop manipulating your ads to cause app users to make an accidental purchase.. this is manipulative robbery and you need to be sewed..Version: 8.4.30

The erase button is just rage inducingEach time when you try to erase something that clears something it smudges which makes you want to throw your device and when your on mobile it smudges and when you drag ur finger on it it goes the opposite direction you want it to go and each time when you click the redo button it draws a random line across the image please fix this because it is a very good app.Version: 8.2.92

Ads are getting out of controlThe latest versions have annoying watermark and ads to deal with. It wouldn’t be so bad if the ads weren’t so long and scammy. They’re mostly false advertised mobile games, not only are the ads incredibly annoying, but they don’t even represent the game they’re advertising at all..Version: 8.5.43

I regret getting this appIn my opinion, this app isn't to good. It edits your photos, but who ever said it edits them well? The watermark at the bottom is confusing to take out, and let's admit, who on here is taking selfies via Photogrid?? And why would you edit them here of there's Instagram or Snapchat?? Also, making new stickers is really weird, as tracing look bad and just using a square still look bad. It took me a while to even figure out i could edit said squares. Also, it can make an image you saved from somewhere else extremely fuzzy. Work on that. And who needs the use for all these fonts and filters?? I get having a few fonts but the amount this app has is over the top. And as I mentioned earlier, the filters can be put through on Snapchat or Instagram, or even photos! Photos has a better drawing system the Photogrid does, because photos has one. All in all, I'm disappointed on this entire team..Version: 6.3.50

Used to be good for meI used to really love this app. It’s amazing for people who want fabulous filters but something has happened to it. I don’t know if this is just on my device but it won’t let me use any of the new filters. It only lets me use 6 of the really old ones and I can’t even see what the others look like. I’ve tried resetting my phone and everything else but it won’t work. If you have a way to fix this, would you be able to tell me?.Version: 6.4.31

FRUSTRATING - slow and always crashesI've been using - AND PAYING - for this app for years. I really like a lot of its features and the ease of its interface. HOWEVER. It CONSTANTLY frustrates me. It crashes every time I use it for more than 10 minutes. It takes FOREVER to load photo albums when selecting images to add to a grid - almost like old school dial up internet speeds. I keep thinking they're going to fix it eventually, and instead they're adding stupid premium features this app doesn't need. If I can't even add text to photos without the app crashing, I definitely don't trust it to do "animations" or whatever without crashing. Also, the grid format selection screen recently changed and is totally ridiculous. Please change it back so the regular photo grid options are up first, not all the weird star shapes and repetitive "scrapbook" layouts, thanks. Also fix it so it doesn't crash!! I don't want to find a new app but this is ridiculous, it shouldn't still take me an hour to edit 3 photo grids. (It wouldn't take that long if I didn't have to start over when it repeatedly crashes halfway through my work). I have this problem on iPhone 13 Pro AND iPad Pro..Version: 8.6.81

Atrociously GreedyI’ve been using photogrid for years since it offers more customizability settings that better serve my needs over other apps. Unfortunately I now find myself avoiding the app like the plague. I’d be more than happy to watch a quick ad or even put up with an ad banner, but in order to do anything, you are now forced to watch a 30 second ad with an additional wait period at the end before you can close it and even begin working on your project. In addition to that, you are now told to subscribe to remove a watermark. I’d subscribe if the fee were reasonable, but for that price I’d much rather donate to the amazing and free getpaint(dot)net, since I’m already having to use my desktop..Version: 8.5.91

Starting to SlideI’ve used this app for a while... Recently, fonts, stickers and backgrounds that were all free to download before (that I had downloaded previously) are now only available with the subscriptions... the recent updates have removed them from my downloads, (even though they were free when I downloaded them), and now I can’t use them any more without paying to subscribe. I’d understand if it making certain features subscription only and new content to be subscription only... but for an app update to remove previously downloaded elements, that were free at the time of download, is a bit wrong to me..Version: 7.8.41

Bad user experience and crazy amount of ADsThis used to be my go-to photo grid app. It was easy to use and ads free. Now it just tries to do everything it can to make money. Ads are all over the app. Pop up notification on every step to remind you buying their subscription to unlock full access. No more free watermark removal — you have to watch 1 or 2 minutes long advertisements to get free watermark removal. I don’t mind paying for an app. But the user experience is just so bad. And there’s no one time buy-out option for people who just want a simple photo grid job done. I will no longer use this photo grid app..Version: 8.6.72

Great App but..I got this app in January 2016 and it was the most feature rich and user friendly, on the market - at the time. So much so, that I decided to purchase the lifetime membership they were offering at the time. I enjoyed the add free version of the app and add on layouts. But one day, the developper posted an update, in which they decided to go for a monthly service fee, and stopped honoring the lifetime agreements from prior customers. The app is great, but certainly not worth a monthly fee for an app this caliber. This is a kind of app that any new grad could write, and to force users into a monthly plan, not only looks like a desperate move to get rich quick scam, but also completely lacks class, especially when they decided to void the past agreements with early customers. You just need to ask yourself if it’s worth spending $5 monthly for the privilege to use such a basic tool, when there are better ones out there now!.Version: 7.3.40

Too many ads that take 3 mins to get Rid of.Ads in PhotoGrid takes a very long time to disappear. I bought PhotoGrid a few times when I had my business 6 yrs ago but in the last year in order to use the Free version, you now gave to wait about 3 mins for one Ad to go away and then the X appears so you can then close the pesty Ads. I had to delete the App several times in order to use the free version to edit my photos, it's very time consuming and not worth it anymore. I will delete the App for good today. I feel PhotoGrid is trying to FORCE consumers to BUY it so we can stop using the free version. PhotoGrid, consumers does not like being forced to do anything. So I will find another Free Editing App that I can use with Not so many Ads, until my budget allow me to Purchase it. PhotoGrid hello, Inflation is high in the US and ppl are being laid off after the Pandemic bc the feds are increasing interest rates in order to bring down the cost of products and goods, which helps lower inflation, but also comes with increasing interest rates, companies start laying off and/or end up going bankrupt, so not too many companies are hiring right now besides the ones that pay $8 an hr, No one can pay a mortgage and take care a family off $8 an hr, so these Apps will wait to be purchased until we get extra money to spend on wants. But our needs are priority and comes first, like putting food on the table, paying mortgage so families can have a roof their head, are the most important..Version: 8.5.70

Inappropriate AdsHi PhotoGrid. We love your app! However when I was using the app with my young child today, sadly there was inappropriate content of women in negligees with camel toes. My daughter and I were horrified by the images. Come on PhotoGrid you can do better. You’re putting inappropriate images into the minds of children. Is this what you want? Remove the ads and I’ll change my rating back to five stars..Version: 6.5.40

Not reliableThis app use to be so much fun but now it requires data service to use the app. So many ads and it’s getting boring to use this app now..Version: 8.6.31

Really goodI actually only have one negative comment about this app. It works very well with collages, posters, similar to snapchat photo filters, and much more! The only thing is that I wish the filters were good for two people. Otherwise it’s a really good app and i have tried many other apps that do the same things and I preferred this one over others. This is a good app and I would recommend. I am a little disappointed with this app after giving it a great review only a few months ago. The filters and grids are working perfectly but I cannot get logged into my account after logging out of it once. I type in the user and password but it just loads for ages and never logs in. I have even left it for hours at a time and when I come back it is still loading. I can’t get back into my account and it doesn’t work to make a new one either. I don’t know what to do. This is the only downside to this great app..Version: 7.2.91

Not so enjoyable now.Along with Adobes PS Express this was one of my go to apps. I’ve been using this app for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately the app is no longer a pleasure to work with. Gone are the days of a quick editing tool. I totally appreciate the need for ads but they go on far too long and just when you think they’re over they continue to go on a little longer and once you change jobs you have more advertising. Furthermore I had unlocked a lot of fonts which have now been relocked, and I’m certainly not going to watch all the required videos to unlock them again..Version: 8.5.84

Free trial - not!I saw this ap was offering a free 3 day trial on their extended features thought I’d check it out possibly subscribe…so I accepted 3 day FREE trial…moments later bam $50 charge on my credit card?! I have been granted a refund but who knows his long it will take…I have done thousands of free trials to see if I like an ap never ever ever have they charged me unless I subscribed after trial ended! Unacceptable.Version: 8.6.71

SCAMThis app shows 3 day trial but this app charges you right away without even giving you “free 3 day trial”. I even emailed them about this and did not get any response or refund. What a scam. Don’t get this app!!.Version: 8.5.84

Super app ..... initially.Downloaded the free version which was initially super - easy and quick to use with a good selection of layout options. But then..... everytime I went into the app some function had disappeared to the point it was unusable. I would happily pay for it but (a) I fee blackmailed and (b)£24/year is too much. You should be more transparent about your ‘free’ version and look at your funding model to offer a one off payment..Version: 7.8.90

Good editing software but the ads are BRUTALLY longI’ve been using PhotoGrid for the past few years as my primary photo editing app and I’m comfortable with it and like it. I manage a Facebook group with 35k members and use the tool routinely. Within the past few months PhotoGrid has changed so that now I have to sit through LENGTHY advertisements. Normally, this is no big deal but the ads are just so unbelievably long. In many cases, I just want to quickly add text to an image and the total editing time would take less than a minute but I have to sit through 3-4 minutes worth of ads. It’s getting worse and worse. I’m used to having a free service. I’m going to try to find a new photo editing tool. I’m so annoyed with PhotoGrid for how ridiculously long the ads are. It’s totally under my skin..Version: 8.7.00

Dramatically Lost function with recent updatesThe app used to be a favorite but following recent updates it is no longer functional for users with images in apple’s cloud. When i click the app it basically freezes on a white screen the process of loading the “all” album and i am unable to select a different album until it has struggled with this cloud retrieval of thumbnails for several minutes. Then it has to do it again for the next album you choose. If its more than a handful of pics it will take so long that you’ll probably walk away…. it is no longer efficient or fun to make image collages with photogrid..Version: 8.4.92

Must subscribe to save your workThe app is as advertised has a decent amount of templates/designs etc Worth noting that it will let you create a collage/video for free but when you try to save it, it tells you you need to subscribe. You can get the free trial for 3 days, save what you want and then cancel before it charges you tho so not too bad..Version: 8.6.01

Beware of the “3 day trial”The app has decent functionality, very basic, but sometimes you don’t want to wade through a more complicated app to put a border and some text over two photos. So that’s all well and good, there’s an extreme amount of premium content, which is fine, but almost overruns the app. My issue… they offer a “3 day FREE TRIAL!!!!🚨🚨” basically everytime you even think about clicking on premium content. I do these sometimes, because I’m very good about cancelling the subscription, but with these guys, you don’t get a chance! They’ve gotten me a couple of times, both times I’ve just been immediately charged the $34 or whatever, with no trial period (about a year between the two, I forgot). I assume that once upon a time, I received a 3 day trial and cancelled, so now they show me as ineligible for the trial, which is fine, but SAY THAT! It’s an absurd bug not to fix for over a year. Two stars because it’s not a total dumper and Apple is great about refunding App Store purchases from shady devs..Version: 8.2.70

Updated review, Dropped to one starLuckily the watermark can be turned off or I would have deleted the app. The collage section is great but they get three stars for all the clutter they have crammed into this app. Photo Grid, you don't have to be like Instagram…… Update: Since my first review, I have dropped my rating to one star and removed the app. They have monetized removing the water mark and they have decided to put ads in to hold your work hostage. It’s very annoying to add photos then have viral ads pop up when you are trying to see your pictures. This app was fine In it’s older iterations but it’s unbearable now. I don’t use this ad enough to warrant paying for a subscription and I’m not going to be held hostage by ads in order to coerce me into buying a subscription just so I don’t get inconvenienced. I’m hoping Apple just adds a collage feature to photos in the future..Version: 8.4.51

Scum bagsI didnt sign up for a yearly subscription but you charged me $55 for a $2 app. This is deceptive and sneaky. Also the product is trash. It doesnt fit images to FB banners, it just put a blurred image behind the original sized image. Trash,.Version: 8.4.51

Update ruined itWow, this app used to be incredible. Sure there was in app purchases but it was still amazing and painless to use without a subscription. Now, they completely botched the app by making everything filled with ads and needing subscriptions. The quality of the photos come out all gritty and dirty because now you need to pay for the photos to come out clean (which you didn’t have to before) and to remove the watermark (which again, you didn’t have to before). As I said before to, there are way too many ads on this where it’s very annoying to use now. I used to love this app so much, but now it’s sad to see it how it is now. Might as well use a different app for photo editing, I’m not wasting money on a subscription.Version: 8.6.31

Not what It used to beI went back in my camera roll and saw that there were filters that you could take pictures of yourself with. I hadn’t been on the app for a long time, but I still expected there to be camera filters. But when I got on THERE WERE NO FILTERS. Why? Am I just not seeing them or WHAT. You got rid of the main reason I liked the app. And also almost everything costs money. WHY?! So manipulate things were available before and now everything is expensive! PLEASE FIX THIS. I would give you one star, but the editing is still pretty good. But for a long time until there are the camera filters then the most number of stars that I am going to give this app is two. Also a liquify addon would be a nice update too..Version: 7.8.80

Be warned, I paid and now they want me to pay againI’ve used this app for a long time and paid to remove adds previously. Now I am bombarded by video adds and to get rid I am offered an extortionate monthly subscription. Shame as was a good app but not worth a monthly subscription, there are plenty of other apps to do this. Photogrid have developed this app over the years but have gone too far and are being greedy. I paid before to remove adverts and now you are moving the goal posts...unfair..Version: 8.5.91

It just keeps getting worse with each updateThis used to be a great app, now it’s just terrible with all the ads and 90% of features locked behind a paywall. And even worse is the fact that photos that I do manage to edit after suffering thru all that mess appear to save in low resolution. What happened?! *sigh* What a pity..Version: 8.6.10

Tricked into purchasing and apple won’t reverseUpon opening the app a purchase full version pop up appears and if you accidentally click continue and then panic and go to close the app JUST AS THE FINGERPRINT AUTH COMES UP and it authorized the effing purchase instead of closing the app..Version: 8.6.61

Bring back the old retouch!I used to really love this app, especially the retouch as it was nice to be able to smooth out blemishes etc. however a recent update has changed how photos are retouched and it’s terrible! Tanning to peachy are the absolute worst options, it’s makes the skin look orange or pink with pink lips! Not to mention the skin no longer looks smooth. The original was so much better as it was our own skin colour just smoother! Please change back to the original! If we want colour options we can just use filters!.Version: 6.4.10
