Review summary

Overall sentiment is mixed. Users like the easy, all-in-one editing experience and collage/poster capabilities, especially among long-time users. However, reliability and pricing are frequent complaints: instability and crashes, hub/upload issues, subscription/ billing frustrations, post-update tool regressions, and mobile feature gaps compared with the desktop site.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive editing on mobile, with many tasks feeling approachable.
All-in-one editing with collage options and poster-making capabilities.
Positive sentiment from long-time users who continue to enjoy it.
Pro features/value are appreciated by users who rely on them (e.g., collage/poster tools).

Cons

Frequent instability and slow performance: crashes, freezes, or the app won’t stay open.
Hub/cloud integration and uploading/saving issues, including not loading the hub or saving to it.
Subscription and pricing problems: essential features behind a paywall, renewal prompts, and billing quirks.
Post-update regressions that break drawing tools and other editing features.
Feature gaps on mobile compared with the website (missing backgrounds/assets and parity).

2026-07-07	Sa*****	So glitchy it's nonfunctional. I've updated, uninstalled, reinstalled. It closes when I try to open a photo from my phone and if I finally get one open it closes when I try to save to my hub. It works about 25% of the time.

2026-05-12	Av*****	I haven't been able to get the mobile app to show my hub for about a year, even after updating. I love this program on my desktop but the mobile app needs to work, too

2026-04-21	Br*****	I used to LOVE picmonkey....I pay for premium version (for years) and now do almost all editing in my phone app only to discover the very poor quality of features on the app compared to using website. will certainly not renew without some distinct improvements

2026-03-09	D.*****	it's a good app, useful. but it is so limited in what it can do. throughout the (6+?) years that I have been using it, not a single update or improvement took place. no additional functionalities have been added.. to bad, because it has a lot of potential

2026-02-02	Br*****	I LOVE PicMonkey, but the app never loads the hub. I get the never-ending spinning circle like it's trying to, but nothing happens. Without the hub, I can't edit anything I've already started on the desktop.
