## Pixlr-o-matic Reviews
  ### 1. Interesting product but not Unique

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Leanne M. | Design Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2018

**What do you like best about Pixlr-o-matic?**

Easy fast Polaroid like photo effect option. Not bad for a quick edit option for photos and snaps. Good filters. 

**What do you dislike about Pixlr-o-matic?**

No option for writing text. Very limited color options and only preset filters. Definitely not a photoshop competitor (not even the free app version). 

**What problems is Pixlr-o-matic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When you need a quick Polaroid type filter it saves time over Adobe Photoshop. 

  ### 2. Cute Overlay Options for Photos

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Photography | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2018

**What do you like best about Pixlr-o-matic?**

I like that there are a variety of overlay and border options you can quickly apply to your photo to jazz it up. There are different themes so you're sure to find the perfect choice(s) to use on your pictures.

**What do you dislike about Pixlr-o-matic?**

I wish they had the option to add text to your photos. I think that would make this program top notch if it had that ability.

**What problems is Pixlr-o-matic solving and how is that benefiting you?**

If I quickly want to add an overlay or border to my photo before posting to Instagram, this is the quick way to do it without compromising quality.
