## Review summary

Users praise the app for being easy to use and free, and for its core ability to create clear before/after comparisons. However, the experience is frequently hampered by reliability and quality issues: it often loads slowly or freezes, saves very low-resolution images, and shows intrusive ads. Some iOS updates break functionality, and customization options for text and watermark are limited or paywalled. Overall, it’s valued when it works, but persistent performance and UI limitations frustrate many users.

### Pros

- Easy to use and navigate.
- Free to use (no subscription required for basic features).
- Effective for creating before/after comparisons.
- Gives good-looking results when it is functioning properly.

### Cons

- Frequent loading/freezing/never finishing; spinning wheel of death.
- Low resolution / small saved images (very low megapixel count).
- Ads at the bottom block the photo and are hard to close.
- Reliability issues across iOS updates; sometimes won’t open or will just spin and not finish processing.
- Watermark pricing and premium features can be costly or non-functional (e.g., adding your own watermark or premium features failing).
