## Review summary

Pros: easy-to-use text-on-photo tool with good font options and sizes, useful for labeling pictures before posting, and supports basic wrap text. Cons: frequent crashes/loads failures, save/export and privacy-permission issues, and lack of updates causing compatibility problems on newer iOS/devices. Overall, the app offers solid text-editing features but is undermined by instability and a lack of ongoing support, leading to unreliable saving and sharing.
