Photo Collage Maker PicJointer Reviews

by TheDivineMrsZ

I bought and paid for PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer several months ago. It was my favorite go-to app for collage needs and I use it for my business. It had a very easy to use interface that I found preferable over other apps that do the same things. The latest update made major changes in performance and it is now difficult to use and simple things now require more steps. Very frustrating! The thing I’m most upset over is that even though I already purchased PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer almost a year ago, all the features were locked and they now want to charge $4.99 a week to use it! NOT OK! I hit the button to “restore” my purchase so I have access to all the collages I did before, but now I’m afraid they are going to start charging by the week. I will delete PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer and dispute the charges if this happens. I do not see a subscription listed in my iTunes acct so it’s kind of confusing. I want PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer that I already paid for and I want it to function the way it did prior to the update... except minus the random crashes. P.S. The best thing about it was the ability to take a picture directly in the collage, that seems no longer possible in the updated version.

Once a month I need to collage a couple pics. Looked on apple store and come across many collage apps. For how little I plan to use it, It’s not a requirement for a high tech expensive app. I clicked and loaded this one not realizing it cost $2.99 a month. It gives the opportunity for a free trial. Clicked free trial and it requires you to fill in the purchase agreement. Once it gets to that page it changed to $2.99 a week. Hmmm. Went back to PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer Store and start really reading all the reviews. Apparently the $2.99 I see for billing isn’t even correct. Others have stated once you get past that screen it raises the price to $4.99 a week. Yea. I don’t think so. Even if the price was five bucks for a year it would be too much for how little I plan to use it.
Even though I have NOT got a chance to use the product I give PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer a poor review because of its deceptive advertising and the illusion that anyone can have PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer. $260 a year to put pictures in order. No. I don’t think so.

I’m so disappointed!! This was my favorite app! Now I can’t even use PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer because I’m greeted by a stupid pop up screen after I pick my pictures saying “Purchase for $2.99 a WEEK!!” I’m sorry I will not pay 2.99 a week! Maybe a month but a week no way! The face that you won’t let anyone even use the free feature because you get stuck on this stupid screen is so irritating and frustrating!! I uninstalled this months ago, and thought I would try again to see if anything changed and nope same thing happens! Guess I will look for a better app and one that actually let you use it for free when it says it’s free instead of getting greeted with a pop up making you purchase to use! Make it a paid app then if your going to do this. That way ppl can choose to pay or not. I’m uninstalling now once again 😡😩

PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer’s UI/UX, setup flow, and subscription policy is deliberately shady! Read PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer description in PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer Store before installing, and even then, it won’t be immediately clear that there is no free trial (neither they nor App Store make this explicit) and they will then begin charging your Apple ID subscriptions for $2.99/weekly (!!!) without your permission.

Then when you try to remedy the situation via PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer , you’ll realize there’s no way to access an app menu, settings, profile or account section to change your subscription preferences. You’ll have to contact Apple Support to get them to turn off the auto-renewal, even after deleting PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer .

Be warned. You’ll basically lose a bunch of money for an underdeveloped app designed to take your money and do everything it can to keep you from changing that.

I purchased PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer a few years ago for less than $5 and have been using it regularly for my sports blog. But now, they have nullified my purchase and are offering a subscription-based platform for $3 a week, which is complete insanity. There is no way this picture collage maker is worth more than my monthly subscription to Photoshop, and comparable to streaming apps at $12 a month. I reached out to PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer 's company via email, and, at least in my opinion, received a rude reply, saying that I was NOT a subscriber to PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer (even though I have been using it for years) and calling the purchase I made, a purchase to a "very old version of PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer ," an app I had no problems using until this past week. Needless to say, I am very disappointed and will absolutely be taking my business elsewhere and suggest anyone reading this do the same.

I downloaded PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer to put two photos together and compare them. As soon as I selected a style and my two photos, it prompted me for a payment plan. Due to the pandemic going on, I don’t exactly have the money to waste on things that users should be able to do out of the box. I wasn’t able to actually use PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer because of it. Developers shouldn’t be able to list a app as free on the AppStore, and then prompt the user for payment as soon as they get in PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer , essentially click baiting users, falsely advertising their app, and not allowing users to even use non-subscription features which are advertised as free. This entirely pisses me off because this is something that you should be able to do out of the box on a iPhone considering the price point of newer iPhone’s. Wasn’t even able to use PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer and the basic features which are advertised as free. Not a good app.

I have just downloaded PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer so I could easily make aesthetic collages but was very disappointed when I found out you have to PAY REAL MONEY to use PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer . So my question is, why is PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer rated 4 and up? No no no, it should be rated 17 and up!! You want four year olds downloading this and then asking their parents for 3 dollars a week to pay for this?! Does your company have any idea what going on in 2020?! All of these sicknesses and the COVID 19?! You want those poor (feel bad) people to pay 3 dollars a week when instead the could be wasting their money on food and safety supplies?! If you have to pay 3 dollars a week, that would be 1,095 dollars a year?! You could be spending those 1,095 dollars on food, rent, home supplies, safety supplies and health services !! So why would you want to pay money for an app you could delete later? I should have just stuck with finding images on the internet!

When I downloaded PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer originally I loved it. It was easy to work with and did exactly what I wanted. Although, prior to X-mas break, I had unsubscribed to the payment (which I really hate btw. The amount is ridiculous for how long i am using it for!!) Anyways, I go to pay for it again, and there is an error that comes up. I emailed them right away. I hear nothing. Nada.👎 not a single word. I email them again. Still nothing.😡 I wait a another week, and since they still aren’t answering me, I ask apple for my money back, which they did, 🙏 but i still haven’t heard anything from them. I also thought that maybe I activated the wrong one (not sure why there are 2 “versions” 🤔). I click on the other one, but it charged me again. Another $3/week. So not only is there an error that won’t go away, but now I get charged twice for something that doesn’t work!!😡🤬 please help me!!! I still haven’t heard anything from them.

PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer completely takes advantage of fine print agreements. After using the platform during my free trial, I meant to cancel the trial, but forgot. It automatically signed me up for a subscription ($2.99 initial charge). I was annoyed with myself and not initially with them... until they KEPT charging me weekly. I didn’t even get an iTunes notification for it until 3 weeks later, and my charges were bundled. And this was AFTER I deleted PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer , thinking that initial charge was the only one I would ever get. Seriously? This is a collage app... there is no reason for them to be taking this much money from its users.

On another note there is NO easy way to cancel your subscription. PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer interface lacks any account information button (I am yet to find one) and clearly deleting PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer isn’t good enough either. This is a scam.

I paid for the full version because it WAS a good app. Not now! They took away the features I paid for and turned it into a subscription base app to use the features I had already paid for. No notice, no refund for my purchase, and no features I paid for. Don’t waste your time, lots of other apps out there that won’t take away features you paid for without notice and then have the audacity to charge you on a subscription basis for what you’ve already paid for. Not happy with them 🤬

Update: they sent me an email with instructions that do not work. When I hit restore purchases it tells me in app purchases are not allowed. I attempted to contact you via 2 emails with no reply. PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer is still worthless to me.

Update: still not working after I paid for it. You send instructions and they don’t work. You can’t hit RESTORE because it says in app purchases are not allowed. Fix this! I paid for an app and you took it away. Bad way to do business!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

When I first got PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer, it was easily the best collage maker I found for my phone. But then after an update, they made several changes to it that basically say “Hey, we took away about 80% of the features. If you want them back, then give us money!” I didn’t care for this, but the 20% of the features I was left with were still helpful at times, so I kept PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer a while longer.

But now, they’re so desperate to take your cash, that you can’t even USE PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer for free anymore! Anytime I try to make a collage, a pop up appears that’s like “Hey! GIVE USE MONEY!!!” You can’t exit off of the pop up and it returns every time you attempt to use Pic Jointer!

And by the way, this isn’t like a normal app, where “paying” means spending one or two dollars and being done with it. PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer is apparently sO aMaZiNg it deserves a weekly subscription fee! There may be some poor sap out their will to dump their hard earned cash into this, but not me. I’m not paying three dollars a week for the privilege of using your app!

In the info button (in the right top corner), it states that you have a 3-day trial, and goes on the say in the subscription details that you must cancel a subscription before you enter the last 24-hour period of the current subscription. That could mean you have only two days of your 3-day trial to look at PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer before you will be forced into an automatic subscription. There are some “steps” provided on how to cancel your automatic subscription, but they are incorrect or incomplete, I tried then. I went to he app website provided here on PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer page, but it is seriously just an advertisement about them, no additional help, FAQ, or additional support contact information, just the email address to contact them... will I get contacted before PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer automatically turns into a paid subscription? I sent an email to support. But I am concerned that just deleting PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer isn’t going to “free” me from their automatic renewal. I don’t know what to do, but posting a waning here seems appropriate. Perhaps support can clear this up for everyone interested.

I was excited to find PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer with a few single-purchase add on packs after the other one I used went to a monthly and yearly subscription, which is ridiculous unless there’s a recurring business cost associated with keeping up PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer . This would be like Apple trying to charge subscriptions to get iOS updates. Well alas, the in app purchases for PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer don’t match what the store page says. I was ready and willing to pay ~$10 to unlock all the features but instead this is a forced trial for 1 week and then a subscription weekly.

Deleted.

I’m sure it was a good app, too bad it’s a greedy business model. $2.99 a week. That’s $12 a month, which is what I pay for Netflix. Netflix who has huge teams of IT to keep servers running, data storage costs, internet bandwidth costs, lawyers, original content, producers, actors, real estate costs and more. $1 a month would be quite a bit more digestible for what your consumers are getting for their hard earned money. Consider changing the business model.

The new update has some minor tweaks that have been rather annoying. 1) from the very beginning I enjoyed the previous version of being able to accept my photo layout prior to the pictures, and thus selecting in which box they go to. This is a minor issue but still awkward for me
2) (this is the bigger issue) I use PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer to create collages for my business and once I have a layout selected and text and formatting I just want to be able to change the pictures out, however with the new update it “resets” sooner and then I have to recreate everything which creates non-uniformed photos which I do NOT like! Please go back and get rid of this automatic “reset”!

I sure as hell won’t be paying $5 a MONTH for this either...

I have used PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer for a very long time and it was very simple to navigate. At some point, however, it stopped working as well. I’m no longer able to select what sized collage I want to use prior to picking my pictures. I can no longer place my pictures in the specific locations I want them to go. I have to work out before hand in which order to select my pictures for them to be placed how I want. And if, at any time, I make a mistake and need to change the order or number of pictures used, I can’t simply swap them out like before. I now have to delete my whole project and start over. Also, once I do complete a project, I have to delete, close out PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer , and restart it if I want to work on a second project. I’m not sure what changed to make it be this way, but it’s quite frustrating. I gave a 5 star rating when I first started using PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer so long ago. Now, I’d say it’s at 3 because I can still make a collage, it’s just not as simple as it once was.

I use PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer to both create collages of my friends and family to print and display and edit a single photo and create a beautiful display for any occasion I mainly use PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer to impress my friends by sending my collages and edited photos to them and watching there reaction and the same queston they ask evrytime I have the same answer time “how did you do this “and my answer is always something along the lines of it was picture joined and I explain how much I love it. But all in all it is an amazing app that lets you show off your personality through decorating pictures it is an amazing app even without a membership which aren’t to bad to purchase considering that it includes lots of new fonts frames and back grounds to choose from but I love PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer and would love to see more being added to it

This is the Last time..... PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer is a Freaking Scam of a Joke! They shouldn’t even be able to be available anymore! Again as I’m making a collage on PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer (which I have not used for a year) for my daughters 16th bday. I go to choose a background and it prompts me to do a
“Trail for FREE for 3 Days!” First- If That is their offer to utilize their app, then follow through with the Dang OFFER... This freaking Company goes and Charges my Card after 2 Days, TWO DAYS! Not only has it only been 2 days, NOT 3, what in the heck is worth $4.99 a WEEK on PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer... NOTHING, There is many, Many other apps for doing Fun Great things with Photos for FREE, as well as maybe paying a Monthly or yearly fee for nothing over $20, & that’s a year. I suggest do your homework look at the reviews as well Do Not Use this stupid app! If you do end up getting conned into getting charged you won’t get your money back either SO DON’T DO the free trail! What a joke!

Bought the paid version after trying for a day. Worth it to skip the ads. I was looking for something without an app name watermark at the edge (like in Pic Collage), since I use these collages for custom greeting cards for friends. This fits the bill!

Only weird thing is that photos I add to my camera roll don't show up very quickly in PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer . Even when I go to "recently added," they are not shown as the most recently added photos, but are somewhere in the middle of maybe a hundred recent pics. Kind of a hassle and time waster to find them. They should just show up as most recent if PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer and my camera roll are syncing correctly. This is my main "con."

For some reason in my family app sharing the paid version isn't showing up for my spouse, so he is contacting the developer about that.

I never take the time to review apps. But I felt like this one deserved to be recognized.

PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer lets you choose what layout style you want. Also, Customize the aspect ratio, border thickness, amount of curve on the edges(if any), amount of drop shadow(if any), the color of the space in between pics, and reposition the pics within each space. The lines in between each pic don't double in width like most pic collage apps. And most importantly the file comes out looking great, unlike other apps that downsize the resolution. There are other free features, as well as paid ones.

All this for free, thank you!! PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer has earned a long term spot on my iPhone.

PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer "Pic Jointer" has many options of things you may want to do with your collages. Many other photo collage apps that I've used or rated do not have things like framing, captions, neither placing animations on your photos unless you pay. It's very thought through and organized, therefore, I gave it five stars. Please take a look at some other photo collage apps to compare yourselves to them, by that I mean look at what look at what you can work on, and look what your doing great on. I look forward to the new upgrades that this company has. Good Luck!

I’ve been using PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer for a few years now. I thought it was so useful, I updated and paid for the Premium version a couple years ago. I just wanted the option to sometimes combine 4-5 pictures into a collage, nothing fancier than that.

Recently, after an update, my photos don’t show up when I open PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer . I wrote them and said I uninstalled and reinstalled PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer and I’m still having this problem of the pictures not showing up or linking to my album. I have not heard back for more than 5 days now.

A year ago they also had an update and allowed users to restore PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer and it worked. After this update, it looks like they are just ignoring long time users who paid their one time app fee.

I read other reviewers saying this company changed to a monthly subscription service now. They should at least send a notification for a refund or a message to long time users/clients if they plan to change the terms of agreement when I first paid. A little shady if you ask me.

On a positive note, LAYOUT FOR INSTAGRAM pretty much does the same thing for FREE and LIVE COLLAGE is a close second. Both also save collages to your photo album. I’m deleting PhotoCollageMakerPicJointer and cutting my losses.
