I’m having a terrible day – Comic Caption Meme Maker Review

(Update: This is a great app from a great developer!) Photogene is apparently abandoned so I search App Store and the top hit for cartoon bubbles is your app. I buy the Pro version for $4 and try to add a caption bubble to a square 1:1 image I loaded. Can’t get past the cropping stage because your app insists I crop my image to a portrait aspect ratio? Are you kidding me? I play with the counter-intuitive Panning, Scaling and Rotating checkboxes. Nothing helps. I look through the FAQ and search for developer tech support. End up having to install Facebook Messenger in the hopes of getting the advertised “few hours” turnaround for replies. Give up when I can’t find my old FB account password. As more of the public starts dumping FB you should consider upgrading to a real website. What’s interesting is that the instructions feature a drawing of a square panel but I can’t seem to make the app work with a square panel. Am I doing something wrong? Please tell me I am. I will change this review to an exegesis of how bad I am at app interfaces if you’ll only tell me how to put a cartoon bubble on a 1:1 image. I don’t need 50 fonts or 10 colors. I’d be happy with just one of each. Update: Yes sir, Matt, you fixed it! Thank you so much! I haven’t played with it extensively yet because I’m here to fix my poor review ASAP. I contacted the developer the day I bought the app and was unable to make it work as I wanted it to. He replied quickly with a request to demonstrate the problem. I don’t have any iOS screen recording apps so I was going to make a video with my daughter’s phone. Have you ever tried to borrow a teenaged girl’s phone? There’s never a good time for that so it hadn’t happened yet. And now with the issue fixed there’s no need. I wish more developers here were as quick to respond and (I’m still amazed) actually fix the problem even! Future feature requests: 1) Allow in-place font swapping with previews. I’m unable to select typed text and preview different fonts in an already created and placed caption bubble. I have to delete the text and then switch the font and retype it. Am I making a mistake? 2) More control over line-breaks and bubble sizes 3) This relates to 2), but the thought-bubble trail of bubbles needs much more control for differently sized and laid-out graphics. Number, size and spacing are critical to making the trail of bubbles appear properly from the correct person’s head. 4) Multiple tails (graphic attributions) and bubble-trails should be possible for two or more characters saying or thinking the same thing at the same time. Even without these possible improvements I’m very happy with this app
