## Review summary

Users largely express frustration with the iOS app: persistent background remover failures, login/authentication problems, and frequent instability that can cause loss of work. Many feel the mobile experience is lacking compared with the web, with limited features, difficult editing, and poor hub syncing. A minority still praises certain editing capabilities and remains loyal, but overall sentiment is negative, driven by reliability, parity, and onboarding friction.

### Pros

- Long-time users report continued use and loyalty to PicMonkey across years.
- Some users appreciate the mobile editing capabilities for on-the-go design.

### Cons

- Background remover not working / buggy on mobile for months.
- Login/authentication issues (inability to login with password; reliance on magic link).
- App instability: frequent freezes/crashes and loss of work.
- Mobile app offers limited functionality and parity with the web/desktop (e.g., many features missing, editing is difficult, no template search, edits can be flattened).
- Hub/photo access and syncing issues (photos not visible in hub, trouble accessing hub items, refreshing hub doesn’t help).
