Grids: Giant Square, Templates Reviews

by ShiningLikeTheSun

Downloaded out of hotel curiosity after seeing an ad. Don’t waste your time if your have a basic skill set. All the things on here can be done in other apps that most people already use. Canva, Preview, and even just Instagram itself. Even with the pro version, I saw every possible option in Grids in under 10 minutes. If you’re very new to everything I guess you could use it, but you’re better off just being authentic and showing what you got without all the try-hard bells and whistles.

I feel bad for people who are paying for this. There is some hidden potential in Grids, it’s just very underdeveloped, and it seems extremely irresponsible to have people pay for it in its current state, but I mean, hey, that’s their choice. I hope they know what they’re doing. And I hope Grids leans into more unique things like highlight covers and stickers. And perhaps the way they streamline the story process. Make it unique.

I was super excited for an app like this where you can create grades but also design in Grids . Unfortunately the text looks fuzzy when I try to upload it to Instagram. I paid $40 so I would expect high-quality images. And I know it’s not the size of the picture that I posted because the picture was large and I use the text editor inside Grids .I would love to change my rating to 5 stars but that needs to be addressed and fixed. I also tried to contact their support prior to writing this review. I am using an IPhone XR

I have paid for the upgrade. I have created multiple folders on my iPhone. Grids will not see/read any of these folders. It only reads the existing folders created by Apple or other apps. This is super frustrating as I have created folders specifically so I don't have to scroll through my main photos folder for posting images to Instagram. And even if I do go try and grab photos from the "all photos" folder, if they are to far back in time, Grids won't read them. The timer just keeps spinning then Grids freezes up. This is absurd.
What happened to my upgraded pro version that I paid for?? It’s gone and replaced with another app your trying to make me pay another $5.99 for? What are you guys doing? I’m calling Apple and talking with them about whatever it is you are trying to pull on users.

First of all, I already had the pro version of Grids until it decided to reinvent itself and required me to upgrade to pro again at a MUCH higher price. Since I liked the previous version, I caved, and subscribed once again (I know, I know, dumb as s$it). Well, as soon as it processed the subscription Grids stopped working altogether. Won’t load past start up screen. Deleted it and reloaded it. Still nothing. Besides paying twice for the same app, and feeling ripped off, it’s now completely unusable. :(
Don’t do it.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I paid for the pro version of Grids last year and used it multiple times for my posts. Now for some reason the version I bought and downloaded to my iPhone has somehow been removed?! To make matters worst, you’re charging me $5.99 to get the pro version back?!

Even when trying to make do with the watermarked version of Grids , it keeps closing on its own when I’m getting ready to export an image. After shutting itself down, Grids automatically removes itself from my phone and back into the cloud. I’m so frustrated with the whole thing, I have no idea how their development team is ok with any of this.

I downloaded Grids and used one of the free grid making options. Did not use Grids for a week and then found a $6 charge on my credit card. I do not approve of the design that has either falsely charged me or maybe it quite easy to accidentally subscribe to it. Wish I could give it less than one star for that design element. Otherwise the developer has an excellent application. Would be 5 stars and would still be on my phone if it were easier to use with out accidentally spending money. Hell I’d consider buying it if it weren’t so jacked up.

Paid for Grids . Now that we’ve gotten that outta the way let’s talk about how things have changed - rapidly. At first just under about a week ago (March/April2020) I was able to cut my images in their entirety and post to my page. Today? Grids , for some reason fails to acknowledge an entire IMAGE SIZE forcing me to abandone the image or just go with a partial posting (which drive me nuts because I want my viewers to experience the full image). Can any of you developers place your finger on this issue within your app and within reason to get a rapid-fire reply to me so I can bump your rating back up to five?

I bought Grids around 2 years for $5 and it was worth it. I offloaded it off of my phone to save storage a couple months ago so I could use it another time since it was worth the money and better than other apps. I come back and now I have to subscribe monthly for far more money than before for the same features I bought before. What happened to this? Where is the money I spent? Grids is a rip-off and I would recommend any of the other ones instead of this one.

Grids itself is fine, Ive been using this to split my images into resolution specific handlers, works amazing.

One problem! After barely 1 or 2 creations, it requires you to pay for a premium...

I have seen similar apps with the same functionality which dont require premium, and I would love to see the restriction on image splitting removed, but keeping the restriction on stickers, text, and other add-ons (I know that developers need money, but surely you can understand)

I’m being forced to write this review so I can make a certain style of grid. So, you’re gonna get what you asked for, which is a review of an app that I haven’t had time to evaluate. You should remove this so you get higher reviews because I’m sure this low review is going to lower the average. I can’t be the only one who feels this way. Maybe after more usage, if I like the product I’ll give another, more qualified review.

Just wanna put other Grids is doing really well I really enjoy the usage my Instagram page has definitely come up since using Grids my only indiscrepancy with it is that I cannot title my projects which makes it difficult to be able to search for different projects that I would like to reuse. If this could be an option that would be greatly helpful because it’s really hard to delete and find different projects because you can’t tell which is which if they’re all the same name. This also frustrating because you might delete something that you really wanted to useor work on later! Please fix! Otherwise great app

I like having the option, like anyone else, to save money. I’m glad Grids has a limited version to be able to try it out without having to payout right. I have another app that was free and does a very limited grid but Grids can do more so if you’re looking for more, you pay for it. Put it this way, you only pay for subscription if you are making the time and effort for it. If you’re not seriously about social media (I at that because some people make a loving off of it) then save your money.

I like Grids . It serves me well. I do wish it had more options thought. It seems to me like they do not update and upgrade it. It’s the same identical all I’ve subscribed for a year ago. In fact, a year ago I emailed the support team about a bug. They asked me to send them a screen video of the bug. I did. They said they will look into it and nothing was fixed. Today I run into the same issue and this is annoying. So Grids is good and does crate this app but that’s about it. They don’t fresh it up with anything new. No new features or effects. Same. Other apps I pay for do a great job by constantly adding new things.

This is actually a cool app. I used it to test a new look on Instagram and it came out nice. Unfortunately I was not ready to spend money weekly on Grids so I only did the free trial. THERE IS NO OPTION IN Grids TO REMOVE THE TRIAL... BUT... if you go in Grids Store -> click on your profile -> manage subscriptions, you can cancel it from there. Also you can see they have a 2.99 option and 6 month plans etc.

Other than that, it’s great. I might consider paying the yearly amount in the near future.

by Jurrens

It seems simple enough to use, but it definitely needs more designs and stock photos or stickers. Also, even the paid version forces you to leave a review to unlock certain features, which is borderline criminal. I’ve almost given it a one star for that aspect alone, but I feel it unfair to Grids is it does seem to live up to its promise and is easy to use.

by Royschaffer

Grids is really complete and customizable. It has a lot of options to make great instagram posts, you can split a single photo in 3, 6 or 9 photos and even add colors to them.
Also have two more sections, one to get inspired to make some great this app and the other one really interesting is collages that is really easy to use!

by B_is_for_Bryan

Grids says free but (like most photo related apps) the feature that people come for isn’t even free, you have to pay for it ( YOU CAN STILL DO A 3x3 grid tho). It gives you a limited version. You have to pay 💰 for the rest. Kind of false advertising but not really anything that I could go against them for. They never really said EVERYTHING was going to be free but still

Such a cool idea, I was looking for Grids for so long and finally found it! My feed looks SO dope now, I feel like I finally can create something special and totally different! I’m beyond happy that all the creative people like artists and designers can express themselves in a different way. And I love that you can use different backgrounds for your photos, there’s a plenty of them so you can experiment and play around with your style

by Peter5821

I have tried numerous apps of similar function, only to be incredibly disappointed with either what they can do, or the amount they charge you to be able to produce anything usable. Even the free version of Grids is amazing! It is easy to use, intuitive, and provides you with lots of great templates to choose from that you can use to give your profile a total facelift! I have gotten so many positive comments since I started with this app and I’m gonna keep using it!

by Anny_marie89776

Can’t thank developers enough for making this incredible app!! I’ve dreamed about stylish and unusual feed for so long, I was so tired of Instagram because I couldn’t fully express myself.. Now I can create the feed that I’ve always wanted and I’m beyond happy ☺️ I’m in love with the fonts and backgrounds and the idea of the endless feed is super dope 💥 Just try it you won’t regret!!

I emailed support for a refund due to an issue days ago. I sent an email explaining the situation properly and the only reply was a sentence that did not help me in ANY WAY.

Grids is designed for cash grabs if id ever seen one. It will pop up a payment option as soon as you open. So if you’re like me who unfortunately had their thumb on the home button when you opened, then tough luck. All you’ll get from this company is a one sentence reply saying: you should just unsubscribe through AppStore.

I like Grids a lot it helps me complete the job that I want for my social media needs. I want there to be more flexibility and ease of use however. I think that there needs to be a better explanation on how to use carousels and collages. the inspiration tab is helpful, but some of what’s displayed isn’t necessarily able to be created within Grids itself that I have seen and tried

by Newton Photgoraphy

I love Grids! I think it’s fun to switch things up with instagram. As a photographer it’s really nice to get to make your favorite photographs stand out. I just wished they didn’t make you pay a WEEKLY charge to get more designs. I just wish they would reconsider opening up some more designs for the artists who can’t afford that payment every week.

by Iiskan

Just amazing I never made a review before, but Grids totally deserves! It gives you a lot of options to grid your photos and also some filters and stuffs! The best app for Grid that I saw! Doubts about which is the right app for this job? Just download it and you'll won't regret!

by Mahi_hoonmain

Still trying to figure out how to cinch my photos to fit a specific grid layout. The only option i see is to blur out a certain side of the photo, which doesnt get the whole photo in the frame. I hope someone can reach out and explain. Otherwise, app is good.
