Diptic App Reviews

This app does what it says. It’s simple, straight forward and has just enough features to do the job. It could be improved (and get more stars) by improving the performance. It is pretty sluggish and produces some oddly large file sizes, multiples of the sizes of the photos in the collage. It would also be nice to have a little more control over page formatting basics like margins as it does a poor job of fitting the collage onto the paper.

I’ve had this app on iPad and now on my Retina MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks. Simple to use and a good app if it didn’t crash every single time I use it. It crashes when placing photos. Crashes when changing border properties. Crashes when saving my results. Don’t waste your time or money.

I have a 21.5-inch iMac, Late 2012, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB, 1 TB Fusion Drive, running 10.9 Put your fears to rest. This app integrates with iPhoto and Aperture! Easily import photos from your iPhoto and Aperture Libraries using the Media section of the Import dialog box. Diptic is masterfully designed. It’s simple & intuitive. Choose from 75 photo layouts. Adjust each of those layouts by dragging the edges around. Size the borders, round the corners, and give colors/textures to the frames. Speedily modify the overall shape using pixel by pixel text boxes or aspect ratio sliders. After you’ve imported your photos, apply filters and balance brightness, contrast, hue, and color saturation. You can even add text and give it cool effects. When you’re finished, share via Share Sheet to Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, email, or just export to JPG or PNG. This app is excellent. It helps you create high quality photo collages. The author even included gesture support. I’m blown away by its capability and price. — I grabbed Diptic over a month ago. It had all the features it has now. Some of these other reviews are hasty, uninformed, and just bad. Read app descriptions before buying and immediately complaining for features the app already has. Duh?

I used this app to make a birthday gift to my mom. She is toughed. Thank you!

I love the fact that I don’t have to jump into another application like Illustrator to create a simple photo collage or caption a photo, this app does all of that for you in the simplest and quickest way. I really enjoyed that. The one thing I really do hope they incorporate in the next releases is the ability to control the width of the text box for long captions. The text sits inside a bounding box and the box has arrows to resize it, but if the text is a really long sentence then when you resize it it just resizes the text inside to a smaller font size but keeps the bounding box at the same width. It would be nice if the app was smart enough to adjust long text into multiple lines vertically to match the width that has been selected by the user. To go around this issue, I’ve had to basically eyeball the text box and hit enter at the end of each word that seems to lign up with the desired width that I’m looking for so that the text box actaully resizes to a smaller width. I really do hope the dev team looks into this. Otherwise a great app!

Tried to create a file but the app keeps stopping to respond. Uninstalled the app, re-installed it - same problem. Told the app to not restore old file when I opened the app again - doenst help, either. For now, app is just a waste of space. Any help?

I used to like this app a lot on both iOS and Mac, but these days it does not launch on my Mac running the latest Mavericks OS. Please fix this problem.

Nice!!! Works as advertised…

There are dozens of apps that promise to help you create mosiacs, or collages of your pictures. Diptic is my favorite. The templates are useful, the interface is intuitive, the options are robust, and the output is of high quality. The iOS version is also recommended.

Clicking on some of the photo editing features results in 5 to 10 second spinning beach ball at times. Inconsistent.

I purchased Diptic becasue PicFrame wasn’t sufficient for me (on Mac OS X). Diptic, You can choose from TONS of layouts, adjust the aspect ratio to your choosing, a few options for image editing, and some text additions. I regret not buying this earlier because I dealt with having a tiny tiny border in between my collages even when the border width option was set at zero. Diptic removes borders entirely when set to lowest setting. The layout is also very neat. I am quite pleased with the options available given in this app.

Is this an option I haven’t found in the software? Besides that very cool .

I was looking for a way to create a collage on my Mac and after multiple searches decided on this. Very basic functions though. One problem I ran into was the lack of being able to actually delete an image with out having undo, undo, undo, etc. If you’d like simplicity with easy to use options use : iCollage Pro! I hope this will save someone some time.

This app is so easy to use and the collages turn out great! You can adjust the picture sizes and even the size of the picture slots, which is handy. I just wish there were some more variety in the shape of the collages. There are plenty of different layouts, but they are all squares. I would love it if they added some retangular ones. But overall good app for the money.

Love the app, love love the iOS version of the app, but I was expecting the desktop version to have at least the same if not more features than the iOS version... Additionally, is 9 photos the maximum size? Is there any way to increase this that I’m not seeing? I would like to make a 12 photo collage.

Let me start by saying I’m a big fan of Diptic on iOS. It’s great, easy to use, and produces nice-looking results. That’s why it was surprising to learn that the MacOS version has fewer features than its handheld brother. Most glaringly, the MacOS version of Diptic is limited to the square 1:1 aspect ratio. That’s awfully disappointing considering the iOS version is fully-customizable. Upon closer inspection, this app hasn’t seen any development in well over a year, which I suppose explains the ommissions. It works well within the confines of what it supports, but if you were hoping for a MacOS version of what you have on your iPhone, you’ll be disappointed.

The app keeps trying to maximize the window every time I add a photo. I wish it would just respect the size of the window I set. I can’t drag and drop photos in from Photos or anywhere else. There’s no universal photo selector with decent size thumbnails so I can see the photos I’m adding and maybe drag them all to where I want them. I just keep having to go through the clunky dialog box over and over. Is this a sandboxing limitation? I would think there’d be some API to browse the photo library..

This is a cripple version of the iOS app. Diptychs locked at a square aspect ratio etc. (unlike iOS versions).
