Review summary

Mapstitch Image Stitcher is praised for its specialized ability to stitch both vertical and horizontal images and handle complex scenarios like Excel screenshots efficiently. Users value its simplicity and quality outputs without extra bells and whistles. However, multiple reviews report failure to stitch images properly, random ordering, difficult navigation for selecting images, and a decrease in image quality post-stitching. The app struggles with diagonal panoramas and map stitching blends images in ways users find unsatisfactory. Some users also mention issues with ads and skepticism about the premium version's effectiveness.

Pros

Effectively stitches flat 2D or map images into one larger image, saving time and effort.
Capable of stitching photos both vertically and horizontally simultaneously, a feature unique among similar apps.
Produces high-quality joined images without unnecessary features, focusing on its core stitching function.
Able to handle complex stitching scenarios, such as overlapping headers and footers in Excel screenshots.
Opinion that app’s stitching algorithm is brilliant and saves effort polishing merged photos.

Cons

App often fails to stitch images correctly, producing random order or overlapped, skewed, or transparent results.
Navigation and file selection are problematic; users struggle to locate and select target images within the app's galleries.
App reduces image quality after stitching, such as chroma subsampling downgrade from 4:4:4 to 4:2:0.
Limited handling of diagonal panning and blending maps improperly, causing mixed puzzle-like outputs.
Presence of ads and a pro version that didn’t work as expected, leading to user distrust.

2024-11-14	Co*****	Interesting. I expected - more usable then received. I had 8 linear screenshots. Simple list to 100 items. Each screenshot about 15 items. Selecting 1st, then 2nd image or selecting all 8 give a variety of results. only one was kinda close. using all 8 screenshot gives various gradients. using just the first 2 images gave weird skewed images. one has it stitched at item 9 and then 19; in a weird slightly transparent overlap. results usable: 0. [No kidding. But, simple top 'n bottom stitching]

2023-11-08	Ga*****	You app is phenomenal. It saves me from polishing merged photos (seamless edges). But there is one feature I'd like to be added. The app cannot merge diagonally panned photos properly as it seems to have restricted image resolution to work with. I had to extend the edges using Snapseed to get a workable result. With black corners? yes, but it's better than nothing.

2023-05-24	Ji*****	I can't navigate & pick my 2 screenshots. I prefer filesystem hierarchy browsers, a la FX app. Mapstitch offers 3 photo-gallery browsers, and I can't find my target files. Selection doesn't stick, either. Mapstitch is kind of app I really want to work.

2023-03-10	Sk*****	Seems to only do landscape panoramics... Whereas maps require X and Y axis (portrait and landscape stitching). I created 4 screenshots (top left ' top right ' bottom left ' and bottom right). It used the height of one image and created a landscape pano with those 4 images, thus, creating a mixed puzzle of those 4 images from left to right (instead of TL ' TR ' BL ' BR). Biostitch already does that, I don't see a point to this, other than data-mining or ads.

2022-08-26	Bl*****	Does exactly what I need and stitches correctly, but crashes when trying to save the result.

2022-05-08	Lo*****	Not as good as the panorama application, has a lot of trouble with POI names near the boundaries...I think I understand why this is, but it makes it much more difficult to build a map from Google maps... I'll try it with Here maps, with POIs turned off, and edit this review....

2022-04-28	Ri*****	Tried to stitch 3 very overlapping images into one. Failed. Tried 5-6 more times with other images and was never able to get it to work. Submitted a review stating that the app didn't work and the dev deleted it. Will probably delete this too but let's see.

2021-09-13	Ch*****	Where this free app really shines is merging flat 2d or map images together into one larger image. As a gamer and motorist planning runs this is a useful tool and time saver. It also stitches vertical and horizontal photos, though not as well as their other app made for that. I got the best result leaving some overlap on edges. If the ads bother you, give the developer a few bucks to remove them.

2021-05-31	No*****	Gave it three pics to stitch into one. It gave me one but no evidence of my pics anywhere, just a load of horizontal lines! Update.... They offer a "pro" version in response - it didn't work so I'm not going to put money into it in the hope it might work! Update..... They said the free version has the same update as the pro version but it's dated 2020 so predates my problem version.

2021-02-13	Jo*****	This is perfect and the only app to stitch photos vertically and horizontally at the same time, works better than I imagined, 5/5 all day 👌
