No incentive was offered Absolutely useless programme, the results are devastating. Most of the text is written completely incorrectly, out of 38 attempts to create a text logo, the text was only written correctly five times, some of the letters were fantasy letters or completely illegible, and everything up to the wildest spellings was present. Even when creating images, the programme does what it wants and negates the text instructions. Furthermore, the programme cannot produce scalable results, everything is left to chance. Even editing the text does not produce a memorable or reproducible result. I wanted to buy the programme because some of the gimmicks are useful, but there is a significant difference in functionality between the desktop and the browser application. for me, only the desktop application is interesting. Therefore, no purchase. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros It would be the many editing options for photos, which are unfortunately very limited or not configurable at all. #### Cons Configurability of the individual modules is very limited or not possible at all. The text functions are absolutely unusable. The text instructions for image generation are not or only partially implemented and important instructions are simply ignored. Very large differences between the browser application and the desktop version. --- ### I was just blow away - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Tabarak A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I was blown away by Fotor after my try.

Fotor allows many uses like sending photo selections before and after editing #### Cons Like every software, it has its little flaws. It doesn't manage well, as far as I know, the RAW files and JPEGs lose quality post processing --- ### Poor customer service - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Atina A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I signed up just to play around and see what it does (free week trial). I edited one picture. That was it. I don’t actually need this in my daily life, I’m a teacher. All their emails went to spam, so I missed the deadline by one day. By 9 hours actually. They charged me for the full year. I reached out to customer service, explaining and asking them to be reasonable. They absolutely refused to cancel my year subscription and refund the payment. Rather than reasonable customer service, I got two long emails telling me how it was all my fault for not canceling on time. Miserly behavior like that does not make a company seem successful or trustworthy. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 --- ### very new to the site - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: april k. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Human Resources - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
