BeFunky Reviews

Works good for generally making memes and captions on photos. It’s a good editor but could be better. Two pet peeves I have about BeFunky are: cropping photos, the top is directly in the place of Apple’s irritating pull down menu, you have to crop the bottom of a photo and move the crop space down, and then place the top of crop lines on the photo where you want them. It’s just an irritating extra step that does not need to be. It’s impossible to do the top without pulling down this iOS menu. And text alignment, this could be fixed if you could move the top crop edges without actually touching the dots. And two; BeFunky is absolutely impossible to get text to align horizontally again if you touch or resize it. You need a feature that snaps text to horizontal alignment when its moved close to horizontal. Other editor apps have this feature. But the ease of this app makes it my go-to app if I need to make a caption on a picture in a real quick in the middle of a conversation. It works well, but I think these two things could help it be a lot better.

I’m a professional photographer, so even when it comes to using my phone for taking pictures as opposed to my DSLR, I still like an editor that packs a punch and allows me to stick to my aesthetic. I have numerous apps for the “heavy lifting” so to speak, and use Adobe for the majority of that.

But I also enjoy having editors that allow me to take pictures less seriously, to make silly things for friends and family, and to just play. Most of my apps that I have for this only have a couple main features. Like ones that pretty much just do collages, or just allow you to play with makeup.

While I actually enjoyed BeFunky enough to buy the pro edition for extra options, there’s MORE than enough here to do all kinds of entertaining and cool things. I like that it’s current trend wise, from the stickers to the frames and effects. And each have the ability for you to customize to really get your creative thoughts from mind to screen. The stickers are fun, and you can flip them any which way and choose the order in which they’re layered.

To sum it up, BeFunky takes no photographic skills, or technical knowledge to be able to open it up, choose a picture from your camera roll, and just play. The only thing missing is the marker and pens you don’t get on your hands, or the glue that somehow has managed to get everything around you sticky!

Update: I originally used for the text boxes and gave five stars for that feature alone. Now I use the photo editing features and it’s now one of my favorite photo editing apps.

Original review: I wanted an app for simple speech boxes for my comics. I’ve tried several apps and this is the best for a simple text box. It allows you to use your own fonts, and you have great control over size. You can choose background color or no background, and opacity. It’s not perfect (I wish box could have an outline), but it’s the best I can find. There are other features I don’t use. I only wish the text box didn’t tilt so easily when I resize, and for more choice in color (I can’t get the light yellow color I want). Thanks for the great app!

I wanted an app to just do a couple of side by side comparison photos. My last free one was so time consuming and difficult that it wasn’t worth using. All the others that we free downloads charged a weekly rate to get the collage. BeFunky had great google reviews so I decided to give it a try. It does have where you can pay to use more features but for what I was trying to do was so simple and it was free. Because of this experience if I ever need the other options I will definitely be willing to pay for it.

I make collages/moodboards and BeFunky is so simple in a great way, I can simply line my pictures up and rearrange in my own style without getting a headache from complexity. I've been using BeFunky for years, and there's a reason I come to back for book covers, moodboards, etc!

For something like text color edits, it'd be really nice if we could use our own color codes, it's hard to drag a little circle exactly where I want a color 😅 That's about my only complaint, though. Everything else is awesome!

I installed BeFunky just to use the Collage. However, to my surprise I've ended up using 85% of all features. The editing tools are surprisingly useful and work just as well, if not better, than the ones I originally thought were the "best" and "only ones that work"! Give it a try - you really won't be disappointed - this coming from a very, very critical critic when it comes to photo editors (for cellphone cameras).
***The above review based on keeping photos on phone. I have not printed out any one photo that was edited. Assume there is distortion - just from previous editing apps such as this.

I got BeFunky for Wattpad because one of my friends said it was very helpful. As I downloaded it, I saw the “in-app purchases” message and thought “Oh no I won’t be able to do hardly anything.” But boy was I wrong. I got to use about 85% of the items available without having to pay for anything and was amazed. I could send a heartfelt message to my friend, Fox something in my photo I wish I could’ve before it was taken, and just design a photo in general. Amazing app, I would love to see more!

I use several great apps, from Enlight to PS. However, this little free app is just a go-to. It simply works. It works easily, it works quickly, and it has pretty much everything you need. For serious detailed photo editing, you need to pay money. But for simple text, graphics, collages, etc this is BeFunky to have. I use it way more than any other photo app on both iPhone and iPad. Highly recommend, five stars. Thanks guys!

Either it doesn’t fit my iPad well or I am not able to figure out how to get it to go into the landscape mode rather than staying in the vertical mode. Annoying. And I supposedly upgraded to the this app Pro but now am learning that those features don’t work on the iPad. And when I switched to my laptop their was a monthly fee, not a one time fee. I felt led on. I was looking for the cartoonization feature, which the pro led me to believe was available on the iPad, though customer service says it isn’t. Again, not something I made up. Hmmm. Still trying it out. The book is still out.

I tend to find myself lost in all the many tools and options of most photo editing apps, but that is not the case with this app. Though BeFunky doesn't offer an immense variety of tools, the tools available may have other uses than the one of the name. For example, I took a picture of my girlfriend and she was wearing earphones. So I took the lipstick tool to delete the chords hanging next to her hair --- And it looks great! No one would guess I used any edit on it. I recommend the use of BeFunky very strongly.

I have been trying several photo editors for a presentation where I can place 4 photos together as 1, and stumbled upon BeFunky in BeFunky Store. BeFunky went above and beyond my expectations, I was amazed at the rich features, both for photos and videos! BeFunky is a keeper for iPhone, for as long as the developer keeps it updated, which seems fairly regularly! A must have for basic and more complex image editing!

I never write reviews.. but, BeFunky is worth the time to write one! I really enjoy BeFunky, so much so, I even purchased this app pro, Which was definitely worth it! There are so many different effects & filters to choose from! I definitely recommend BeFunky to all my friends, & anyone on here that likes to edit pictures! this app will definitely always be my go-to photo editing app, that I use basically daily!

I am going through hundreds and hundreds of photos to create digital “scrapbook” for my adult children. Considering the poor quality of some of my originals I am pleasantly surprised at the editing tools. Seeing the picture, edited, makes my heart because it takes me back to that moment, the sounds, the smells. Just beginning, so I will update review after more extensive use. But right now, I am very happy.

This is an awesome, free app that makes it easy to create photo collages on your iPhone. Have used it for years as a person who mostly uses it to make collages to share on Facebook or to create prints to give framed as gifts. Every once in awhile I look around at what else is available to see if there is something better, but this works great, has no ads or pop ups and costs me nothing! Thanks for a great app!!

I love BeFunky for one great reason!!! The blemish remover..... every once in a while I get a "blemish" that stands out like a sore thumb but disappears on here!!! lol absolutely wonderful!! Always happens when I have a pimple on my face... a family gathering of some sort which always includes pictures that of course I want to keep and they turn out great except for that oh so noticeable pimple on my nose or chin! I turn to my trusty app and zip bam boom it's gone! 😊 love it!!

This is definitely A good tool. The only thing I would Change is I would allow the frame in collage mode to be colored or black instead of just white. A free form collage mode would also be worthwhile. Although many of the editing functions are available in other apps, I have found the Touch up & goodies to be worth keeping BeFunky handy.

BeFunky has been my favorite editing app since my iPhone 5c years ago. I don’t like to alter the photo that much or distort its original quality however I’d like to be able to utilize editing to show the world how I see it, BeFunky allows me the perfect blend of balance of enhancement without alteration to original quality and natural content, I’d give it more stars if they let me.

this app is really great to have! I’ve only had it for a few hours, but my mom has had it for a long time, and she uses it a lot. I love making layouts (and editing unflattering photos😄). I am super excited to use BeFunky!!! I hope this helps!

(One thing I couldn’t understand was how to rotate and change the size of the text, but I’ll figure it out.)

I’ve tried dozens of these apps. Either they don’t work or options are at per cost. I don’t mind paying for an app but it gets tiring paying for a feature only to learn that too doesn’t work or you don’t get the feature you thought you were paying for
With this, it works for what I enjoy creating. I’d pay for it.

I was recently researching some good apps to use for enhancing my photos. I tried multiple apps and none seemed to fit my needs or styles. I found this app and LOVED it. The filters are so cool, as well as the blemish/wrinkle fixes! Great app overall. I would try to make BeFunky more compatible with wide-screened iPads or tablets because BeFunky size is slightly cropped around the edges on the big iPads. Great job overall! 🤩

I'm picky when it comes to photo Apps!! This one is the best I've tried. It has many abilities!!! If you are into making collages than this is the one you must have, I find it to be extremely great to have on my phone!!! BeFunky is easy to use and offers lots of additional features without hidden purchase items, I absolutely love BeFunky 👍🏼

I use this for lots of things like my Snapchat photos or Instagram! I love this because it comes with features not only to make me look better, (because I need it) but it also has text and stuff. So sometimes I create a black screen and put text on it with stickers for an intro or title! I definitely request getting this! No money and it’s absolutely perfect!

Someone recommended BeFunky to me so I went to download it and to my surprise I had it once before. I wish I had never removed it. With just the little bit of edits I have already made my pictures have come to life. I literally have only been using two of the edit options: beautify and light! Definitely a keeper.

I can’t tell you how many photo editing apps I downloaded, only to find out that you had to pay a subscription to use them. BeFunky is truly free, and doesn’t seem to have any limitations or “premium content” to make you pay for that so many other apps have. So thankful that I found BeFunky!
