Should be able to edit old photos on camera role

I love the symmetry mirror aspect and all the options that come with the app. However the damned ads will NOT GO AWAY! No matter how many times I tap the button that says remove ads. It’s so frustrating I’m considering deleting the app. Anyone else have this problem. If not for this, I’d give the app 5 stars.

This app nearly has exactly what I want. Let me preface this with a story about an app called "mirrorgram". That app for some reason is gone. That app also was very good for what I do with it. What it did was do the mirror over an axis of your choice, and then merge the image so you can continue editing. The results are often excellent. This app here first angers me with junk ads. Ok so it's not really free, I get it. Moving on, it does not have a merge button so you can continue to create your masterpiece. Every step of the way requires you to save. That is inefficient and a lot of the time, i would like to tweak the image before committing to a save. Since mirrorgram is stuck on my ancient iPhone, why can't this app pick up the slack and be as good or better? Also the user interface could be less clunky and or ambiguous. As well, I don't want free garbage. I just want to create. Thank you.

This app is very smooth to move the images around, but allows only the mirroring of whatever is on the right side of the image: so if you want to make a face with 2 left halves together as a composite, you can do it, but a face with 2 right halves together is impossible. (in a photo of a person, the left face is on the right of the photo). This explanation is confusing, but basically this is only half of the app it needs to be to be useful/ interesting.
