TextMask App Reviews

I really really loved it. I think it still needs a lil more things to make it better.

For future updates, can you add some gradient colors for text and image color overlay? that will be very nice to have and would make this App a 5 stars for me. Love that you can save the images in high resolution. Keep up the good work, well done.

When I upload a photo from my photo album it turns white.

You cant save what you created like a stamp to re use. Every time you need to put logo on a photo you have to remake your logo every time!!

Not worth the price. Update and fix bugs. I upload a high resolution picture and it saves a low resolution& blurry picture that you can barely see. Disappointed.

Im guessing the incompetent makers of Phonto made this crApp as well. Same worthless controls. If I write 3 sentences they do not wrap to fit the screen. They just go on forever off screen. No way to wrap the writing. DUMB.

I normally like all of this developers apps and I have purchased the ad-free upgrades for most of them to show my gratitude. But, I find something very troubling in certain in-app purchase upgrades for sale in these apps. Particularly pertaining to the font upgrades this developer offers. All of the fonts in use in this application, free or paid ones, are all royalty-free, public domain fonts. This means that the developer goes and scours the Internet and downloads fonts that are free to everyone and puts them in this app for use. Which would be fine until you start charging for the app outright, or in this case charge for the public domain fonts themselves in an upgrade. Pretty much all licenses for these royalty-free and public domain fonts states that the user of the font is allowed to use the font for personal and commercial use. But, a good majority of them explicitly state that the only thing you are not allowed to do with the free fonts, is take them and sell them individually or as a package. So, the developer of this app did not create or buy the fonts that he is selling. But, he is most likely breaking many terms of use agreements by selling these free fonts via IAPs. I havent looked at the TOS for every single one of the fonts included in the IAP pack available here. But, I would be hard pressed to believe that none of the fonts included did not state in their respective TOS that you are not allowed to sell the public domain or royalty-free font. Public domain you most likely could sell. But, I still find it kind of shady and unethical that this developer is charging money for fonts that can be had for free by anybody who goes and searches for any of them on the Internet. Just my two cents regarding these IAP font packs. Other than that, though, I find this to be a pretty decent application and it lives up to its description. Which is why I still gave it three stars even though I find the IAP font packs somewhat questionable. I should also point out that I find it amusing that the app is set up so that you cannot install fonts that are already installed. Which, well, that makes technical sense. But, I tried to install one of the fonts included in the IAP font pack, and it, of course, wouldnt let me. Because like I said, any of the fonts included in the IAP font pack are readily available for free for anyone to download on the Internet, just put any of the fonts listed in the IAP pack, such as "Chawp font download" into a search engine and you will most likely find that font available for free download. So, I just thought that was humorous. So, if you never knew that there were free fonts available on the Net, now you do and you can download the zipped font file and "Open In" using an app like "Archives" and then proceed to install those fonts into any compatible apps listed on your iPod, iPhone or iPad. You can, of course, also download these royalty-free/public domain fonts and use them in apps like Microsoft Word or any number of others apps on your Linux, Mac or Windows computer.

Hey, there are no explanation for settings, which never work anyway. Release an app when its ready, this thing is worthless and a waste of time.

This app makes adding masked text to images pretty quick and easy. I like the kinds of options given for shapes, though I might like it more if the following things were added: 1) a way to incorporate gradients to the shapes. 2) a way to negate currently applied shapes with new shapes. 3) a way to save edits in progress. There are certainly other, more complex apps that will allow me to do these things, and I understand that these additions may hurt the user experience, but sometimes I get a hankering for complexity, but I dont want to fool with knobs and buttons that dont have anything to do with masked text edits. Keep up the good work!

I love this app! Its so user friendly, and the results are excellent. I would love to have the ability to add a bevel and/or a drop shadow to the text. That said, this app is very well put together, so kudos to the developers! Update: I just had to come back and give this five stars. I just realized that, apart from basic shapes, dingbat shapes are also provided, and thats a huge plus! The basic shapes can be found as well by clicking the background icon. The size and position of the basic shapes can be customized either by choosing the shapes option and using the sliders, or by pinching & swiping the shape displayed in the window. How cool is that!

Could be a very useful app, but it wont allow me to access My Photo Stream (it accesses Camera Roll and Albums, but not Photo Stream)...

I would like my money back. It could be a cool app, but I have spent the last 10 mins trying to load a new photo, you push load new photo it should do just that instead, nothing happens, Ive clicked "done" Ive done everything, even shut off my iPad to possibly reset and the picture is still there.

This would be a great app if it would work consistently. It freezes when you go to add new photo. The font size does not work. You have to exit the program every time you want to create a new design. If they would fix the issues this would be a 5+star program. The designs and creations are really nice when it works. Please fix bugs.....
