Pros

“I like that it positions the background image for you and it operates in layers.”

David B.

Creative manager

“A little manual, it doesn't automatically get it right”

David B.

Creative manager

“I like how you can easily create a very simple banner using Creatopy(formerly Bannersnack), but very limited to complex animation.”

Freo B.

Founder

Pros

“It can make adjustments from the most miniscule changes to the most extreme and everything in between. If you can learn the software, it will be a gamechanger for your photography”

Crystal C.

Owner

“Delivers what it promises and what I need to get photos culled, edited, and exported to spec.”

Steve R.

Photographer

“For the desktop version, even on my strong PC, Lightroom Classic sometimes slows down when I change modules or start a large export.”

Tabarak A.

Graphic Designer

Cons

“The software pricing is not favorable enough for smaller businesses to use the tool”

Gabriel O.

E-Banking Channels

“Unfortunately, the image is present at the start of the slide even if the layer is not set to operate until further into the slide transition. ”

Phil M.

Online Business Owner

“The redirect links to Bannersnack are confusing and sometimes not working. If this is how they treat paying customers, then I can't recommend this product to any agencies, graphic designers or anyone.”

Evan T.

Designer and Ads Specialist

Cons

“I don't love the mobile app as much as editing from my desktop.”

Joe G.

CEO

“This is used for all my content gathering at work, however, the CyberLink software which came bundled with my camera package was just plain horrible.”

Shilton c.

partner

“Sometimes the app crashes a lot and takes a long time to respond, and I've often lost an entire edit because the app crashed and didn't save what I'd already done.”
