Make it harder for internet thieves
I like that I can embed my copyright information into the shot’s data. I also like that I can change the font and color of the text to match the photo. Thanks very much for creating this app!

2020-05-13
Slow
Don’t buy it’s garbage.
2019-11-23
HORRIBLE!!!!!
You have to act like your going to load a pic to back out of tabs when editing anything and hit cancel just to get out of it HORRIBLE!!!
I’m trying to put my logo on my pictures, it tells you to “tap here” ......DID THAT AND NOTHING HAPPENS!!!!😤. I tried reinstalling the app....NOPE!!
I tried tapping in different places on “tap here”.....NOPE!!! And I’m a technical and patient person did that work........NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want my $1.99 back will that happen...🤔YOU GUESSED IT FOLKS!!!!.......NOPE!!!!
DO NOT BUY!!!!
2019-05-19
Useless
Works perfectly until the most recent upgrade. Now it's all bugs. Doesn't sense the screen tap to start typing your watermark and if you're lucky enough to get it to respond after 40 furious taps it will never go back to the photo again. Utterly useless as is.
2019-03-26
Incredibly difficult to use
Great idea, overly complicated.
2019-03-18
Love the App, Hate the bugs
At the moment (March 2019) this app is unusable on my XS Max.
2019-03-12
Horrible
I can’t close any buttons. Impossible to use.
2019-02-23
Doesn’t Work...
Don’t waste your money
2019-01-31
Too many bugs
I have never written a app review, but this one is just awful. There are so many bugs it is basically unusable. Definitely a waste of money.
2019-01-07
👎
Good idea but too many bugs. I just want to add a simple watermark to my photos and save back to my camera roll. It has the option but doesn’t work
2019-01-05
So many issues
Default text watermark can’t be deleted (must be hidden). Ok, no problem. Can’t save to camera roll. It says it can, but the photo never shows up. Which means I have to screenshot and crop my watermarked photo. Not what I expect from a paid app.
Contacted the company about this issue, but it’s been almost 2 weeks and no response.
2018-10-25
Not video
Can’t put photo and video when it’s strictly only photos. Lies

Takes getting used to but so easy - one of my top used apps now
I used to add a watermark to the photos I post using an image editing program but it was always a hassle because the focus of those apps was more on filters than adding text. Not to mention the available fonts were extremely limited. I looked online and this program came up as the highest recommended watermarking tool. It took getting used to. I didn’t understand to remove the keyboard I merely had to tap on the screen once. I feel silly to not realize that now. But the smooth minimizing and maximizing of font size, the ease of alignment of the caption, and the colors and fonts available are just a few of the reasons this is now my go-to app. Best part is I can save my watermark and with a simple tap of the screen I can very quickly upload a photo, add a watermark, save, post and that’s it. The image editors always made it this lumbering hassle. The most important feature is there background unseen info we can add like copyright, date of photo, etc. This really should be a staple for anyone posting original art or photography online and wanting that added protection. - My only wish is for the fonts to be available with a border/edge option. For example: if the photo is white, I want to add a white colored font, but then the watermark would blend into the photo, but having an edge of a gray would make the watermark clearer. It’s hard to explain. I know I can add a border to the entire photo but sometimes I want the watermark within the image so no one can crop it. This is still a fantastic app. I hope more people catch on to use a program like this for the images they post on their social media. Thank you.

Can't select multiple pics
I can't go picture by picture to add the signature!
2016-12-17
Complete waste of money
I needed to be able to import my signature and appear as a watermark on the photo not as white block - when you change the transparency/opacity The white blood goes away so does the signature. Pic on the AppStore shows a clear signature overlaid on photo - but I can't - If there's a way to do it I haven't figured it out or not intuitive at all.
2016-10-01
Good App
I had a problem with .png's losing their transparency but it was an iOS issue not an app issue. App works as advertised.
2015-05-12
PIA and glitchy
I'm finding this APP difficult to work with. It seems a bit glitchy. I do not like to pay for APPS, particularly ones that I will never use due to issues such as these.
2015-04-15
No back button or delete
Yes there are several options. But if you mess up, I see no way to delete what you've done and begin again. This frustration alone is enough to say no.
2015-03-28
A+
Great app with lots of features. I'll use this often.
Thank you.
2015-03-27
Very-very good
But, several screens don't have a delete or back button but this is a very good app
2015-03-27
Geez, dem bugs
I mean, you got a god idea and the app has some nice features.. But those bugs though.. Maybe it's just the newer ios or devices, but the UI has more bugs then a cheep motel.. Also some what limited functionality... With it being easy to integrate such a feature into a more comprehensive photo editing app ..
2015-03-27
This app rocks!
It's so easy to add text captions or hidden copyright information to a photo! Great app!
I like that you can also view the EXIF data and modify it, if necessary.

Most frustrating ap. Great potential if ap were to be consumer friendly, and I am referring to latest version.

Request a Save option to make changes
I like this app. It's easy to use, and I enjoy all the different font choices, and ability to set the text as justified left, center, right among the many other type options. I also like the ability to set the metadata.
One thing I would really love to see added is the option to edit a photograph with added text after it has been saved and no longer in the editing panel. Once in awhile I find a typo I made or need to adjust font size, etc. As it is now, I have to go back and recreate it from scratch. Please consider adding this feature.
Overall, the best watermarking app out there.
2014-10-04
It WAS great, but now it keeps crashing.
I guess I'll have to find a different watermark app and delete this one. It now crashes every time I try to select a photo to watermark. Don't waste your time downloading this one.
2014-09-27
Immediately crashes
I've been using Marksta for a long time & I was happy with it, but since I've upgraded my device to ios8, it now immediately crashes when I try to import a photo. I don't know if it's the app or the Apple upgrade.
2014-09-25
crashing
was great for a while ~ now crash crash crash :(
2014-09-23
Marksta compatibility
Loved this app. Updated to iOS 8.0. Now I can't use Marksta!! Need this working. Have not had problem w/any other app. Will not ask me for request to use my photos. Please update your app for compatibility. 5 star til now.:( Please help.
2014-09-19
iOS8 compatibility?
Love it, but I just upgraded to iOS8 and Marksta will launch but not import pix. That's not good. Any timeline for an update?
2014-07-13
So useful for artists
I have been using this app for some time to add watermarks and information to the pictures I take of my artwork and now to add informational tags to photos on my blog (as many as 12 in one photo). I am really impressed with how nice it looks. It's very useful as you can put marks on one photo in a session and they will carry over all the photos in that session if you want. I do wish that it was a bit more intuitive and that the developers were easier to get in touch with. Checking out the help is a must. I also wish the iPad version would remember text from session to session like the iPhone version does.
2014-06-16
poor performance
I was hopeful but it's a waste of time and money. SLOWWWEER than molasses and then gets stuck. I have no problems with my other apps or speed on my iPad..issue is not on my end.
Would be nice if you fixed this to work as you say it does and show in your demo. But, actions are what I care about and PAID FOR.
Refund please or i'll call this a scam & false advertising.
2014-04-19
Good so far, ITPC info for your iPhone
Just installed on an iPhone 4s and so far so good. ITPC should be built into the phone camera but isn’t, and Marksta lets you add the info. Nice watermarking tool, too.
2014-03-31
Over all ok
I like all the app can do, however there's some changes I'd like to suggest. There isn't a support option or a way to ask the company a question. I'd like it if you could save a watermark you did so every time you opened the app it was right there and I didn't have to retype...adjust transparencies...font...etc. every time. If you could upload multiple images at once that you wanted to have the same watermark then just move the water mark around the picture individually that would be fantastic!!!!!
2014-02-02
Superb!
Superb!
2013-12-28
Not good
I paid for this app and it crashes every time I try to save my watermarked image. What a waste of $. 👎💩
2013-09-23
Nearly perfect, powerful but complex interface.
This is the best watermarking App I have managed to find, and I have tried many. In terms of functionality it works very well. The controls are a bit convoluted and require some patience looking through the tips to figure out. The results are very nice.
My only problem with this is that the description says that it supports customizable output sizes, however I was unable to figure out how to do that after a long time trying. Getting that feature in here would make this a killer and extremely useful app. I rarely want to post full rez photos to Facebook/Instagram etc.
2013-08-16
Great camera
Device info: iPhone 4, 32GB (& full), iOS 6.1.3, latest app version to date:
I like the all the different font capabilities, and layering abilities as well!
@Robynpics: Pro Camera also offers the ability to watermark photos, is an AMAZING camera and always my go to for photos I'm taking w/my iPhones.
2013-07-30
Good idea but too many unnecessary additions
This app is not user friendly at all! Too many extra steps for no reason. too difficult to get rid of layers of un wanted "tap here" and the app logo. Going back to use the app MyPix. This was a waste of money.
2013-05-27
Needed app at last
Would give this a 5 star rating if I could load it on my computer to all to all my photos...without having to move them to the iPad....
Easy to create and adjust. Have already recommended this to friends...
2013-05-09
Held up without a gun
Just fleeced for $1.99
2013-04-11
Sneaky varmints.
Apparently, the last update changed something. Now, in order to post to Facebook, I have to give them "my personal info," which is my friends' info as well. Homey don't play dat. It does what it does OK, but I'll be looking for a replacement that doesn't require my selling out people without their permission. Au reservoire, Marksta.
2013-03-23
useful for artists on social media!
the bells & whistles are overwhelming at first, but this is a great thing. super useful for watermarking/tagging photos of my artwork. :)
2013-02-22
Good watermarking app
Easy to use and I like the fonts I can choose from. Turning the watermark on its side was tricky at first but I got it.
Really easy to use and essential for photo sharing on Facebook and Instagram and such.
2013-02-19
Great text on my photos
Marksta is great for adding text and titles to my iPhone photos. I found it easy to learn and use. I wad impressed with the number of fonts available. The quality of the text compares with photoshop. Great app for the price.
2013-02-03
Who's bright idea was it to ...
I guess with the latest update multiple layers of text were removed. Why? I use to be able to add multiple layers of text without having to Dave a picture three and four times to get all the tact I needed on the picture. Why? Now you are just like all the other apps to you can add text to. Add this function back for a five star rating. Now you get one because your just like the rest.
2013-01-29
By a photographer for photographers
Best and easiest to use of all the watermark apps in the iTunes store. Just a few of the great features: a) built in © , @, and # b) more fonts than you will ever need c) change colors quickly and easily to coordinate with the photo d) simple squeeze to resize e)drag anywhere on the photo f) layers for test and images g) build a library of different watermarks h) email directly from the app Lots of features but simple to use quickly. Do read the built in help.
2013-01-18
Does not work!!
I have tried marking a picture multiple times and the same thing happens: when I save to camera roll or import via Instagram this program will flip the picture sideways and cut some of it off and it will completely change where I had the watermark and the direction I had it in. This continues to happen. What a waste of $2!!
2013-01-15
Marksta
I really like the app overall. It is easy to use & has many options. My only complaint is that you can only place watermark horizontally or vertically & I wish I could place it at any angle. I would recommend the app overall.
2013-01-12
Excellent
Works great with my iPhone 5 and iPad mini....crashes on open with my iPad 1. Other than than works great. Needs somewhere to read instructions. You guys don't have any. May be even a link to a webpage or PDF file.
2013-01-09
One at a time
I just downloaded this app and so far so good. I DO wish I could select multiple photos to watermark instead of one at a time. Also haven't figured out how to add a picture as a watermark (I already have one in jpeg & gif).
2013-01-09
Works like a dream. Very intuitive.
This is a classic example of a good, simple, app that does what you think it will do and works just like it should. There are also some fun surprises like font previews and opacity controls. Great app! Heard about it from ONA.
2013-01-06
Just what every photo Journalist/Artist needs
Been looking for app that does just this for long time. I hate sharing photos in fear of Unauthorized use of my content. Now everything I post will have copy write protection. Thank you.
2013-01-06
Great app!
This app is really easy to use! You can save the watermarks, so it makes it quick when using it on more than one photo. Definitely worth the $1.99!
2013-01-05
This app is terrific!
For 2 bucks, I took the plunge. I have to tell you, this app is terrific! It does EXACTLY what you want it to do. Well worth the money!
2013-01-04
Really smart, straightforward. A must for photographers
Everything works well, from the layout, interface, options and connectivity. Nothing seems to have been left out. Even the HELP is brilliantly well-done and incredibly intuitive. For any photographer wanting their work protected as credited, the $1.99 is totally worth it. Can't say enough good things.
2013-01-04
The best and about tine!
I have used other programs that have text and they are difficult to use. Yet this program was made for one Purpose and it works perfect. Much love!
2013-01-04
Must have app for iPhone photographers
This is a well thought-out app that goes a long way toward allowing iPhone photographers the feeling of being taken seriously and that their photos are worth protecting! Easy to understand and accompanied by quick responses to user questions and concerns through their Facebook page....perfect for a mobile photography app!

Northwest Remarketing
After a bit of playing with this I discovered how much this will be a valuable tool for my work!! By using the options and trying the variables I can create subtle to bold watermarking and it can have a professional appearance, or a fun and zany intense insert message. THANK YOU!!! LOVE THIS APP!!!!!
2013-01-04
Excellent App
This works great on iPhone 5. Saves my text and formatting so each time I open app it automatically is ready for next photo. Would love to see an option that plasters my copyright info all over...and I mean...all over photo to keep others from cropping out signature or photoshopping/painting over it. Overall easy to use with no instructions needed.
2013-01-03
Great!! From: Jamie Rhoades
Thank you John. I'm 100% a full time mobilephotographer. I'm fluent on G+, and used to be on other photography sites until... I noticed my photos being swiped a little more than I'd like!! This is a great tool to help stop that. It's not fair to the hard working photographers to have their work stolen. I love this app. Thank you again.
