piZap: Design & Edit Photos Reviews

by Choreosophiac

Please undo whatever you did in the newest update that screwed up older edits. piZap is now very annoying, whereas before it was easy to use, especially with cutouts removing the rest of the image instead of selecting that part of it to insert into another image. Not sure why you would want to ruin a perfectly good app, but hoping you take this seriously. This was not the best direction in which to go. Please reconsider improving the functionality of your app instead of making it worse. Thank you.

My rating just went from 3 stars to 1! 🙁 I’ve been using it a few years, it’s okay, but lots of things can be better (Saved item loses lots of quality; you can’t duplicate a layer after “cutting” it out, which takes a lot of time; you have to re-do all aspects of every text word you add, and the sliding font size picker is ridiculous; no color picker; etc, etc.) The final straw is they just got greedy, and took away 90% of all tool choices! You’ve always been able to use everything (images, borders, texts, stickers, etc), but now 90% of it is available with a Pro acct only! Nothing good left to use. 😡

DON’T DOWNLOAD!!!!!
piZap has gone to crap in the past couple of years they don’t support ios 10 anymore :( which would be great for editing on the older generations of ipads but when you download “the last compatible version” of piZap when you add cutouts together they’re always crooked and never perfectly straight and/or aligned properly and so annoying back a couple years there used to be auto align that would keep it straight but they got rid of that feature and they also got rid of a feature that i used every time i used piZap but i forgot what it’s called but they also removed zoom!! Like what the heck you shouldn’t be taking away features YOU SHOULD BE ADDING THEM!!!! Obviously they don’t know what they’re doing with piZap, now i’m gonna have a hard time trying to download a different app that’s still compatible with ios 10.3.3 that was as good as piZap USED TO BE i’m literally heart broken :’(

This was my favorite app. Today, I updated it to the latest version, and lots of the features that were previously included in the free version are not available anymore unless you buy Pro. I was going to upgrade, then saw it was a monthly subscription. Now, unless an app offers some truly exceptional features, it is not worth a monthly fee. piZap is absolutely not high tech enough to warrant that price. I would pay a $5 one-time fee for a pro version. Not $35 a year! Plus, the free version is no longer useful enough to warrant sitting through the horrendous ads that pop up. I can no longer recommend piZap as the benefits don’t outweigh the negatives. I will be looking for an alternative app for collaging.

So the main reason I wanted to try the pro version was that there were some great backgrounds and effects. But the fact that there seems to be no “undo” or “restore” function (Love you, Phonto) negates the pretty images. I emailed support on the first day of trial asking about this function. The reply I received was full of snark and referenced a “Save” function I STILL can’t find. And my subsequent email has not been answered 8 days later! There’s much happening in my life at the moment and I didn’t cancel my trial subscription in time. So I’ve been billed for a whole year for an app that is okay but certainly not worth the price.

I would have (in the past) given piZap a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star rating. I have a new iPhone 📲 and I already purchased the ‘pro’ version with my old iPhone. this app is a great app they give you a lot of free stickers. My edits come out really cute. This time around (today actually) it keeps saying that I must purchase the pro plan and they bill you every month. I already paid for the pro plan 2 iPhones ago. This isn’t fair. That being said this is a fantastic app regarding the stickers for every season and then some. Can someone from the company please help me and get my pro plan back. I Back then they didn’t bill monthly. ••• I 💯% do recommend piZap to my fellow photo editors ••• ❤️

There was a lot I liked about piZap in the past but someone in leadership is making bad calls. They restrict more features now that you had for free and it used to do the cut out for transparent background PNGs fine but now when I try it there’s a white background instead of being transparent and I believe they did this on purpose to make people pay extra for the smart cropping. As I said they restricted what used to be free features more. On top of that now if you want full access for a year to all the features you gotta pay $60, unlike before which was just $30.

by Ushardy

If you need something that photo shop light and make a simple edit, piZap is fine.

What I am bothered by most is that when new update come out, instead of adding new features to the pro version, it will take features that were previously free and suddenly you have to pay for it now. You’re telling me I need to buy the pro version to make a collage of 4 pictures? Ridiculous, A few years ago I could make a collage of 9 pictures for free.

It was good, but there are some stuff that are stuff I like on it. For discord, I try to make PFP, and it’ll be in the middle. Lines indicate telling me where it’s at the middle. It is also good you can put multiple pics in, cut out but I don’t want spare spaces out of pieces, like sometimes when I cut out, a bit of paint goes outside of the part I want to keep. They should click the item for that item to fully paint without any spare spaces. I like how you can add text but except, you can not put like 2+ words in one, it will be with dots. Also, idk if you can take spaces out of a pic you taken and placed, with a washer to wash part of the pic put in first.

I love this application; I love the changes/additions I can make to my photos!

* So much has changed since I wrote that review 4years ago! this app has gotten so much better! There are so many more features to play with, but one feature that I have difficulty with is the text function. When adding text my iPad keyboard pops up in front of the text box so I can't easily see what I am typing. Also, I cannot add returns, so I have to spend a lot of time farting around with the size of my chosen font and/or the size of the text box. That being said, this app is still my first choice for photo editing.

by Thetammyjo

I researched photo apps before downloading this and overall I've been pleased. I can make basic edits easily. I can make more collage layouts than I can imagine needing though size of images is limited. There is a good selection of borders and designs that I can add to. I wish there was not an ad every time I saved but that is the cost of freebies.

by Country Momma 2022

I enjoy making my own photos and sharing them with friends and family . Just wish there was more of a choice on designs and add ones . & frames and ect .. for those of us who can’t afford everything on a monthly basis . But I really enjoy piZap . It’s a lot of fun making and designing my own . I love it

by Ladykatina

I have had this app many years and use it daily for one thing or another. Every once in awhile there will be a problem but it is fixed quickly. The developers are quick to respond to my emails. I recommend this app for all your editing needs. I love it. Thanks guys for your awesome app.

by Momshel7

I don’t think it’s fair, people that has been using piZap for years and now you want us to pay $35 a year smh wow.. not a day goes by that I don’t use it and now you gonna make us pay for it (This was my go to app) I love it-(I give it 10 stars)- but I’m not going to pay for something that I was using for years on end sorry not me ...

I love piZap, I can create so many things w/ piZap, from framing and adding text, and stickers to my pics to creating memes!! It’s easy to use and it has wonderful stickers and fonts I cannot find other places. I edit all my pics with it. I enjoy sending fb friends and family stand out birthday & holiday wishes, I upgraded to the PRO version and it opened so many more stickers, fonts ect. They are always adding new fonts, stickers and backgrounds! You can make your pictures fun or if you need something professional, they have so many things to choose from!! I have recommended this app over and over! The response is always I love piZap!!

by Ibdetny

piZap is so user friendly. It’s my go to app for everything I need to edit or create. Highly recommend!! piZap alone has tough me so much over the years. I was a total beginner several years ago. Didn’t know much about how editing/graphic design. Now I can create and edit in max time and am now very familiar with it all!! Totally worth the pro package cost!!

by Nogamesplz

So frustrating bc this game keeps interrupting and will not close! Why are you forcing me to a game while I’m trying to learn more about your app that maybe I would pay for if I could have enough time on piZap and not keep getting interrupted. If I could learn about it maybe I will pay for it this is ridiculous and frustrating to force a game on me and not allow me to use piZap .

by K.I.R42

I have really enjoyed using this app, it’s a lot of fun and a great way of spice up your vacation and personal pictures for friends and family. I have shared piZap with several people, and everyone is still using piZap after years of downloading it. I really couldn’t tell you if there’s any other apps out there better because I have received so much pleasure in using this app, that I don’t even care to look for any others!

by Borgjane

I have been looking for an app to help me with speech balloons to tell my Sims FreePlay stories. This is so easy to use for that. And I’m finding other tools that look really cool that you would have to have separate apps for, but here it’s all in one place. It’s not too expensive, but I haven’t begun paying for it yet because I’m just getting started with my stories. I’ll definitely be signing up soon and highly recommend this for all your picture zapping needs.

by Moonieboonie

Someone in my family purchased this by mistake...possibly me, but we couldn't figure it out. Upon discovering that I had been charged the annual subscription fee, I immediately emailed customer support. Less than 24 hours later, I received a full refund, no questions asked. It looks like a very cool app, although I've never actually used it...but their customer service was worth a five star rating and a nice review!

by Itunes Frustrated

There are some nifty things here but apparently the programmers are too stupid to give you an reasonable way to interact with them. You find yourself tapping things multiple times to get any response. Transparency does not work. Other tools work sometimes. When making a cut out it just throws your work on top of a precious picture. There is no way to save your work so you just have to crop the background picture to a minimum pixels and try hide by adding an actual background. Finally, every time it adds a picture, you can ONLY stretch it or on the right or bottom side. You can only enlarge it with keeping proportions by dragging the bottom right corner. You can move it with two fingers. What you cannot due is snap it to full size of the canvas. So you frequently find yourself struggling to get it to full size without it being at a crazy angle. Not worth paying for this junk.

by EmberCalico22

Okay, so the reason I only gave this four stars is because sometimes it is glitchy. I have to press things multiple times, and it gets kind of annoying. Also, this one time, with an ad, I couldn’t get out of the add, so I had to shut down and lose the picture. This is a nice app. It’s got all the tools you need and I would recommend it if you are just a hobby editor.

by IG @raffi_torres_memes

Some functions of piZap can be strenuous and difficult at times but they are simple things that other apps can do. I use a different app to edit photos and piZap to add text and backgrounds and I am very happy with it. You can use piZap to edit photos but I find it more difficult than it has to be. I use piZap the way I want to and it works great for me

by AADavis15

I've been using this app since I was a little girl. I started on my personal computer. Now I use piZap and it's never lost any of it's quality. It's very easy to navigate through. It has beautiful, high quality borders and filters. There is a large variety of ways to edit any type of photo you would want to edit.

by Rainbowkittys

The only complaints I have are in the functionality constraints of the cut-out feature and the apparent Flash installation errors in Google Chrome for the desktop version. this app Classic and New need to be combined already, as there has been plenty of time to work out the kinks. For some reason I can’t get the text outlining feature to work online, so I have to flip over to the phone app version to finish things like that.

Otherwise, this has been my go-to photo editor even now that I FINALLY learned Photoshop. I love the frames and stickers, but would love to see those get updated to some new ones. I refer this this app editor to all my students and friends.

by Reece311

So happy this website made an actual app. This is only program that I have found that lets you free hand crop one picture and lay it overtop another photo. Great for making memes or just funny photos. Thanks this app for making this an app so I don’t have to get out my computer everytime I want to create my own photos.

by DeeDeeJ1354

Love it. So many things you can do. Also have it on my computer. I use it many times a day for use in my Facebook groups. Great for posters, banners and so much more.
Update: since Pro began on my phone app , it doesn't recognize me as Pro paid subscription. I really liked the older version. Especially for cut outs
