I would love to give this five stars. There are many great features in this app, but two major flaws make it all but useless. First of all you cannot overlay photos, there is no “freestyle” options, multiple photos must be in a grid format. BUT WAY MORE IMPORTANTLY is that this app does not save your project automatically as you are working. Your projects are never saved, even upon completion, so you cannot go back and edit or alter something. Biggest problem is I have worked for awhile on a flyer or add for my business only to click “Done”, and have the app crash and lose all my work. It makes this app totally unusable. Although in its options and editing features this is a superior app compared to some, it becomes irrelevant in its overall usefulness. No one has the time to waste to potentially lose everything. Disappointing.

I received Photofy as a special free “Feature” with a business account. It sounded good but I could not use the software on a computer, it was an app, that seems to be only accessible and usable on a 6-inch mobile screen. As I mentioned this was a “free perk” with our NAR membership. The average age of a NAR member is 51-years old. Even if members are tech-savvy, they may not want to edit personal photos on a 6-inch phone screen. So then I thought, well, I’ll download it on my ipad. I was successfully able to download it but for ease of use, I use a keyboard and my ipad horizontally. The app, however, would not turn when the screen was rotated. If I wanted to use it on an ipad, I would have to remove my ipad from the case and disengage my keyboard. What a pain…. But, I wanted to try the app. So I did that and then went through and looked at all the templates. I was amazed at the level of unattractiveness and lack of originality in the business templates. What a snooze-fest, so boring! Then I went and looked at the “personal” templates and collages and trending graphics and images. Those were better but still very limited. I think another service, such as Ribbet or Canva are probably better choices for me, as I can use both of these on either a computer or mobile device.

I enjoy this app for its ease of use and it’s options for making pictures take on new life, but I’ve purchased the watermark removal before and I’ve purchased the full filter packs, and I’ve purchased them twice each. Pretty sure I e also purchased the fonts and some other stickers, but it’s been a while and they are gone now too. For some reason, they disappear after a while and I no longer have access to them. I’m not purchasing them a third time when other apps are comparable. Been using photofy for years, but I think I’m finally done. If you like the free version, it’s a decent app and photo editor tool. The photo quality isn’t good for large prints but for small ones or internet use, it’s good. But don’t bother with the in app purchases - if they were actual one time purchases it would all get a 5 star review.
