MJ's Review

5.0 last year

Comments: My experience has been absolutely amazing. I will use it more often

Pros:

The filter they have is what I love the most. I'm differently going to be using this more often. It's worth an subscription through them.

Cons:

That they had filter LILE Snapchat. I love the effects they have they are absolutely beautiful to cool to use when taking a picture.

Great marketing tool, easy to use!

5.0 10 months ago

Pros:

PicMonkey makes it easy for our small company to market and advertise. For someone who is not super marketing-savvy, I find this software very easy to use. The stock photos by type help to locate the type of photos that can be used in our marketing campaigns and the ability to duplicate and edit old posts make it easy to keep our brand style in tact to update quickly.

Cons:

I sometimes wish there were more fonts to choose from but we make due with what's available. Not many other negatives, although I'm sure there's much more I could be using in the software that I'm just not sure of since I don't have a background in marketing.

Quick and easy

3.0 5 months ago

Comments: It has become our go-to software for quick design for anything to share in our social media platforms to relay our information and inform about upcoming events. It is easy to use and affordable as well.

Pros:

It is easy to edit photos and design any ads. Its online so there is no need to download any softwares. We are also able to share anything directly to our social media pages which is a huge plus and a time saver.

Cons:

It has some limited features and also does not work without internet. Other than that there are no cons.

Creative, simple to use, but "okay" for the price.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: If you are willing to pay a monthly/annual subscription, PicMonkey is perfect for you. It has a lot of features that will make your creations look professional. Due to this fact, it may be used for personal, work, and educational purposes.

Pros:

PicMonkey auto-saves all of your creations in your personal online library, so I do not have to worry about losing my progress. It also has beautiful features such as makeup and nice filters. This app allows you to professionally edit your photos and make them go from "nice" to "outstanding"! Personally, I love the option of "duplicate", so I can eliminate undesired parts of my photos without anyone noticing. Also, PicMonkey makes it easy to directly share your creations on more than 10 different social media, including Twitter, Facebook, Facebook Ads Manager, Youtube, etc. Everything is user-friendly and simple.

Cons:

If you are trying PicMonkey for the first time and you do not have a paid subscription, you will not be able to download your content. This is understandable, but I'd like the app to warn me about this before I start editing. On the other hand, the price is a little bit high having in mind that other apps have the same features for free.
