Polarr Memoir 4+

As a designer, I used to use Deep Crop to explore new compositions and experiment with space - was quite useful when I felt a bit stuck! It was great - you could pick dimensions and find near limitless AI-suggested crops that made it look compositionally stronger.

This new ‘Memoir’ update (which seems to focus entirely on wallpapers and random memories???) has rendered the app completely useless to me. Dimensions seem to be limited either to ‘wallpaper’ sizes, or strange square collages, and really how often do you want to make live wallpapers.... (for me, never). I don’t personally understand why the creators have limited the use for this app by removing other dimensions...

It has also become incredibly difficult to select which image you are editing and they are predominately chosen by the software randomly, which seems useless too. Why would I go on a photo editing app to edit a random photo I have forgotten about? (perhaps for good reason) Seems super strange. Is this an editor or a ‘memory’ viewer??? I definitely did not pay for a memory viewer!

Honestly, I feel quite annoyed about paying for this app, just for it to change to something different entirely... that I would have never paid for. Disappointed!

What a shame. This was a great, thoughtful app that allowed new views on your photography - and which has become dumbed down and useless in its new form.

This is no longer the app I paid for - and I miss it.

They really should have launched this as a new app.

What was an interesting app is now just verybannoying to use as there's no apparent way to select a particular image. You just get presented a random set of pictures picked by the app according to some mysterious selection process. No use to me in this state so deleted.
