17V28: Creative Carousel

The Crop feature is barely functional. It’s probably one of the worst crop features I’ve used on an editing app like this. There is no flip horizontal button so if you need to resize you need to delete it, resize in another app, and come back to redownload it. The layering feature is very basic and only does under and over instead so you need to keep pressing the buttons constantly. The app is seemingly made for people with large iPhones? I have an iPhone 13 and unfortunately the screen is way too tiny and there’s no zoom in feature so it’s hard to try to edit. The app is also very touchy, which is hard for somebody with long nails. The big draw to this app instead of the original one is the templates, frames, and stickers. Unfortunately, it doesn’t tell you before you download the app that it’s stuck behind a pay wall. Not a one time purchase, but a subscription. Also, they’re selling my data to advertisers which I just saw. It’s not the worst app and in a pinch I may recommend it.

10/10 would recommend, it has made my Instagram feed look sm more creative which is what is had been needing for quite some time. It made posting fun again. The app is so easy to use and has so many great options for fonts, stickers, and now templates! I will admit you have to pay to have access to everything but there’s still a good amount you can use for free. I upgraded to premium, I think it’s called, for $20 a year, I’d say it’s worth it. I use the app for every post since I downloaded it and have started to figure out how to use it for stories too, after they shared some templates. ALSO, if you have any questions they reply pretty quickly on their Instagram. :)

I have been using soo many different apps to edit pictures for my feed for YEARS and this is by far my favorite. Its super easy to use and has inspired me to get creative with my plethora of photos that I never post. The only downside is the app does glitch out/crash if you have to many items on a project.(it was a bit tedious to have to keep reloading and eventually deleting some of my progress to move forward BUT worth it) I’m not going to knock it for that because 1. Its new and im sure theres a lot that goes into smoothing out all the kinks 2. I put A LOT of pictures and inserts because im a maximalist! I will continue to use this app regardless and just cross my fingers it gets updated to handle more!! Overall this is definitely a new gem of editing apps that solidified its spot on my phone!
