## Review summary

Squaready is praised for being easy to use and suitable for basic edits and Instagram resizing, especially by long-time users. However, it is widely criticized for heavy ads, a strong paywall for essential features, and reliance on internet connectivity. Several reviews note reduced editing options and a degraded workflow, including the removal or paid gating of the focus feature. Overall, the app remains usable for simple tasks but suffers from monetization and ad-related frustrations.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a simple design that handles basic edits.
- Useful for resizing photos for Instagram.
- Long-standing app trusted by many users who’ve used it for years.
- Generally positive sentiment in reviews, with users calling it great/amazing.

### Cons

- Intrusive and frequent ads / pop-ups that disrupt editing.
- Push toward paid subscriptions to access core features (e.g., saving/exporting).
- Requires internet connectivity / ad server to function, limiting offline use.
- Editing options feel limited or less intuitive than in the past.
- Some features (e.g., focus/blur) have been removed or gated behind payment.
