Personal Comments by Reviewer
I would have to agree with the customer ratings and feedback on this app, it is fully deserving of its high customer rating. The app features a user interface that is sleek, modern, and yet it’s incredibly user-friendly. Screens and menus are uncluttered allowing you to focus on your customizations and creations. I liked that you could share your picture/video frames so easily and through so many different mediums.
