### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2023-12-04*

Very few features for a paid app. Inaccurate on bringing the subject into focus and doesn’t allow you to edit the selection.

### 1/5 — After Focus Background Blur

*2023-02-02*

Very poor instructions, difficult to achieve the result I thought this App could help me achieve. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Terrible

Bloody terrible !!!!

### 1/5 — 垃圾软件

*2020-11-14*

骗人的钱。

### 1/5 — Waste of money.

*2020-07-20*

Can’t see how to mask out foreground from background as in photos of app on App Store.  Pretty useless.  Wasted 2.99😡.  Nice way to fake out people for money

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-06-29*

Entirely useless. It blurs parts of the photo that I did not intend to blur without me asking the app to do it. No matter how I try it just blurs the center of my photo which guess what, has the central object in the picture. Worst 3 dollars I have ever spent.

### 1/5 — Still don’t know how to use it, no tutorials anywhere

Still don’t know how to use it, no tutorials anywhere
