GoDaddy Studio (Over): Design 4+

A subscription that is actually worth it.

Ok so I totally feel like my life is being taken over by apps demanding me to pay to unlock a pay wall and charging the earth to do so. I’m not against subscriptions when they offer genuinely GREAT value. Over is one of those apps.

I simply couldn’t be without Over anymore. It has become a truly indispensable tool for creating my content for Instagram. Quite simple my Instagram wouldn’t even exist without the mixture of tools and inspiration that exists inside this app.

For £10 a month I have access to HUGE library of art, fonts, patterns, video content and more to use in my own creations. That in itself it worth the £10 a month and then some. The UI is easy to use and navigate and overall it’s just a truly phenomenal creative tool for the creatively challenged like me 😂.

It isn’t perfect but here are a few suggestions that would make it pretty close.

- Add an option for video to nest in any layer of a project, not just the bottom layer
- Add the option to fill shapes with an image. I’m sure a work around exists with masking already but I want it to be quicker and simpler. Like Pages or Keynote by Apple.
- Great that you’ve fixed some irritating bugs recently like project thumbnails showing outdated versions of the project. Even faster bug fixes would be great 👍

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Oh my GoD(addy)😱 This app is so unreliable it should not be allowed to exist. The score should be at least MINUS 500. Customer service simply don’t care and the tech support don’t have the knowhow to offer support. They managed to lose 50 folders each containing dozens of my designs. Several years of work have been lost. How on earth are things not backed up properly? Nothing is safe here. Since 2016, prior to the takeover (and change to GoDaddy Studio) I used their Over app which was good but not perfect. As I needed something I could really rely on I moved to Canva where everything is excellent and which I definitely recommend. I continued to subscribe and pay the PRO fee for this app for them to keep my priceless designs safe and now it’s beyond belief that almost everything has vanished. It’s a bit like putting your savings in the bank … you think they are safe and having spent hundreds of pounds on Over/ GoDaddy Studio subscriptions over the years when you need to be able to access your designs almost everything is gone. Years of my designs have been lost.

Amazing app (graphic designers will love especially)

Very good app from just playing around and seeing what they have...so many designs and fonts and templates that u can edit, it gives you a lot to work with especially when you may have creators block it’s a good way to get your creative juices flowing. I wish I new about this sooner it would of made life a lot easier for me. Never the less I think it’s a great way to build your portfolio and to help you to become a lot more confident when designing and creating. I would definitely suggest this app for students who are on the art and design etc... especially for what you pay a month or even if u just pay for the year it works out cheaper. I haven’t even seen or experienced everything yet that this app has to offer but from what I have been experiencing so far is amazing.
