2024-10-31 | Sia Mozaffari | Predatory behavior to get you to sign up for a ridiculous subscription. Just about after every click it asks you to "subscribe" with a big old "continue" and an exit that takes a while to appear. It's in poor taste. Just steal my data and provide me with a free service like a normal app. Also no batch options makes this extra annoying. I'm sure there is a better option out there. | |
2024-10-18 | Sav Miller | I've had the pleasure of having this app before it started pushing subscriptions. Before it started with the subscription ad, it was a quick 2-second process. All I want is to have black borders on my pictures. When the ads started, it was typically on "locked" features, then it moved to locked features and the end process of saving. And now it asks you at virtually every step of the process. If I said no once, I am not changing my mind the millisecond afterward. Do better. | |
2024-10-02 | Erin Mattingly | Steals Money!! I've had this app for years ( I'm uninstallling now) I typically just use it to edit the size of my photos but decided to sign up for the "FREE" trial. I ended up disliking the filters that come with this "free" trial. I ended up canceling almost right away since I know I will never use them. I checked my bank account with a charge from "instasize" | |
2024-05-07 | Billie Byrge Bonham | I have been using this app for quite a while. I've never upgraded in the past, but may soon. I am loving the background eraser option. It does an awesome job! I highly recommend this app for anyone looking to add a bit of interest and creativity to their photos (In my opinion, most backgrounds are gender neutral, the filters aren't too dramatic or unnatural..etc) and it's not overwhelming to navigate this app, either. The Instasize app is my favorite of it's kind. 🤩 | |
2020-09-21 | Sina Mirmozaffari | When I go to crop the image and add the border size (like 0-whatever) it cuts from my image. In the iPhone version, it makes the photo smaller along with adding the white border. That is what I want and the Android version wasn't capable. Edit: my photo was buffering as someone else reviewed and not loading, the issue here is the pathway in which you open it. To solve this, use instasize itself to access the file, instead of opening through gallery or photos. | |
2020-03-16 | A Google user | I really enjoy this app and it's my go to to add background to photos, but really wish I was able to log out to save all the work I've done. I got a new phone and there's no way for me to sign out, but I can sign in. I've added the app to my other phone, I've signed in and nothing gets transferred over. It's a bummer since I have the subscription and a bummer if I've deleted the original photos to save the edited version from instasize. | |
2019-11-11 | A Google user | Update: STILL won't bypass the premium screen. Just got the new Pixel, downloaded it to give it a second chance and still can't access. Not sure if this app just favors Apple, but not Droid friendly I loved this app. Used the free version for YEARS, yet every single time I open the app now, it's forcing me to pay for premium! There is no option to bypass, go back or close out the screen. Beyond disappointed and not paying monthly for an app when there's other free alternatives. Look elsewhere! | |
2019-11-10 | A Google user | Instasize use to be a great app with lots of options. I would always use it before I went anywhere else. I redownloaded it recently because I redownloaded instagram, but the creators are only interested in the money making now. There are less options for the free version and after a while you can't even use the app at all. I used it for maybe 4 or 5 pictures and then it wouldn't allow me to use it anymore. Now it has an add to go premium that there is no way to close out of and became useless. | |
2019-11-01 | A Google user | Used to work just fine, and then all of a sudden, the app is unable to save anything to the Gallery (rendering it essentially useless, since that is all that other apps can access, and it is designed to be used with Instagram). Extremely bitter I paid for the full version because now it is completely worthless to me since I can't actually upload the resized images any of the places I was resizing them for | |
2019-10-17 | A Google user | *EDIT* Installed older version apk. Now "explore" is available in the top right. Unacceptable. * * * * The one time I try to use this app.. Same as previous reviews. Cant get past the premium splash screen. Even tried to bypass by using Rotation Manager just to see if a button presented itself during transition. How long have you guys been getting bad reviews for this? Don't you think it's time to find a solution? XZ Premium Stock 9.0 No root. |
