Will I lose my paid stickers and backgrounds if I reinstall the app? medium
According to two recent user reviews, paid items (like stickers and backgrounds) may go missing, and one user reported that a removed watermark reappeared after reinstalling. Support did not find their payment record, suggesting cloud sync of purchases may not be reliable. It is recommended to back up your purchase receipts.

1★After over 3 years, I'm changing my review from 4 stars to 1. Why? So... Now they're charging us to save images & no, of course you can't take a screenshot. So on top of some of the backgrounds &,stickers I've paid for going missing; I no longer have a reason to use this app anymore. I've paid for many things over 3+ years & have loved this app, but it's clear PicCollage dosent value long term loyal customers.

1★I've used this app for 6 years and loved it. I started having an issue not being able to print from this app so I uninstalled and reinstalled to fix the issue. It did not work but the watermark I paid to have removed came back. I contacted support and they said there was no record of my payment and that maybe I was logged into the wrong playstore account. I only use one account for Google so I told them that. They are unwilling to fix this. So a over 99 cents purchase they have lost a user.

1★Remember when you could make a college & save it? You'd pay if you didn't want the watermark or you did want a particular border or something cute from the app but otherwise, this was a great app for vision boards? Yeah, now to save, you have to join. I have to pay the 4.99 min a month for the one college I make maybe every 3 months. Mostly, this rating is to let anyone know who didn't, like me, that things had changed

5★I have been using this app for years. I delete it to make room for more memory, but I always end up downloading it again. I haven't found another collage maker app like it. I love that it is fully customizable. Making photo collages of my favorite scriptures has enlightened my Bible reading and helps me to remember the scriptures. This has become my go-to pastime to switch my focus when I am feeling anxious or depressed. Thank you PicCollage

2★Another dishonest app with no free functionality at all (you cannot even save), and no option to buy outright. It's $5 per month to create silly collages. There are better choices, or if I need to do serious work I'll use my computer. How many subscriptions are we supposed to get? These guys like to waste my time.
