Instruction is limited ### 2/5 — Interface péssima *2023-12-31* A plataforma é ótima, faz um trabalho bom! Mas a interface é feia, disfuncional e muito antiga, precisa atualizar. ### 4/5 — Double take *2022-11-09, version 3.1.5* Can’t quite work out what the Double take feature is for. Other than that other features are great. Who doesn’t want to control depth of field? ### 4/5 — Wow *2022-04-12* Nice app but no full screen interface ### 3/5 — Mac M1 *2022-01-02* A quand la version pour Mac M1 ?? ### 2/5 — Take photo option *2021-06-21, version 3.1.5* It’s good for editing but for some reason when using the take photo option it just has a blank screen and a photo can’t be taken. May delete and try a different app. ### 3/5 — atualizarem *2021-06-08* Vcs poderiam atualizar a interface o App grátis é bem melhor que o pago nunca vi isso ### 4/5 — Focus area *2021-05-25, version 3.1.5* Not sure why you cannot just have a focus line and then the rest of the image is blurred. Have to also delineate the background area seems unnecessary. Also the amount of blur is not really adjustable. Overall it is a useful tool. ### 3/5 — Quirky, lots of potential though IF addressed *2021-04-01, version 3.1.5* This App essentially is very good but isn’t user friendly and needs better instruction The depth of field can work very well. The instruments are there to do it. NO EDIT STAGES - nightmare. To go back stages on this App has been a major floor. If it’s there then make it simple please. I cannot see it. Plus image keeps flipping to normal size when working at maximum size. This is also a Damn nuisance. The actual blur etc is good I found. Come on Devs’ sort out this potentially cracking app... ### 1/5 — Hate it *2021-03-07, version 3.1.5* Really really really unpleasant to use. Most of my pictures don’t work for this app, one out of 7 that I tried had a beautiful effect. Really rigid for an app that’s supposed to look natural. Do not get this! ### 1/5 — 语言很恶心！ *2021-01-06* 真恶心！全程韩语没有中英文，服了！ ### 1/5 — Fraud *2021-01-02* I did not buy any subscription and you still charged 89 rs from my credit card. Pls refund the amount and cancel my subscription. ### 4/5 — Missing some features *2020-12-24, version 3.1.5* Hey All, coming from Android and the Pro version of this app since I loved it so much. I'm definitely missing some filters when. Not sure specifics but I know I had 2 different black/white options and I forget thr other. Anyway to bring that back? ### 1/5 — Cobrança indevida *2020-10-27* Estão me cobrando novamente pelo app sendo que eu já paguei por ele e tem ícone de nuvem, mas quando clico ele pede pra eu atualizar o pagamento. Cobrando novamente por um app já pago. ### 2/5 — Great app *2020-09-24, version 3.1.5* But is it abandonware? There was no update for 3 years already. Feels and work outdated. Reduced fto 5 to 2 stars unless it is updated or developer confirms it will be updated. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Black screen *2026-04-20, version 3.1.5* I get nothing but a black screen when I try to select another photo after I’ve finished and saved the first one. ### 1/5 — Worst photo app for adding blurs *2026-01-15* The edges are clearly visible between focus and blurred region. Making the photo look ridiculous. There should be a proper feather function . ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-09-25, version 3.1.5* The cameras crash. The final photo if you upload one comes out at 1mp ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save photo to phone *2023-12-16, version 3.1.5* App crashes when you try to save. I want a refund ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of money useless app *2023-11-20, version 3.1.5* This is awful don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — If it would stop crashing… *2023-04-02, version 3.1.5* I might be able to actually get some use out of this. Wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Immediately crashes, not iPad compatible *2023-02-01, version 3.1.5* Under iOS 16, immediately crashes. Wish I could get the $1 back. Also is not an iPad app. Shows only vertical in iPhone sized window. ### 1/5 — Picture turns dark and loses resolution *2022-12-26, version 3.1.5* The basic features of the app work fine, but the end result is a much darker picture with lower resolution than the original. I wouldn’t have purchased if I knew that the quality of the end product was this low. ### 1/5 — Quality degraded *2022-10-01* Did great job. But then despite settings it only saves 2megapixels instead of my original input. ### 1/5 — Just waste of money !!! *2021-03-21, version 3.1.5* too much bad apps i ever seen ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 图标问题 *2020-09-25* 希望能尽快修复ipad pro上图标显示白底黑格的异常情况 ### 5/5 — Makes photos “POP”! *2020-07-24, version 3.1.5* I’ve been using this app for years! And I absolutely love how it makes the subject of your photo really stand out and pop against the background - it excels at getting rid of a very noisy backgrounds. My favorite use is a single subject/portrait and then motion blur and gray out the background. I’ve gotten some fantastic photos this way. And if I have a very clean line around my subject I will put the “sticker” effect on for some drama and it just looks great. It would be nice to be able to change the color of that white sticker outline though - maybe a future enhancement? Really great app for what it does. Five stars all the way!! Very nice job developers!! ### 5/5 — Must have app for photograph. *2020-07-24, version 3.1.5* One of the best app for retouching portraits on the newer iPhones and the best option for a single-lens camera. If you know how to use this app, this is perfect. Thank you ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-07-19* Using since 3years. Very good app. Can be improved by adding lens blur to the blur tool. Bug:- All progress are lost when switching to auto mode to manual mode. Please fix it. ### 5/5 — Excellent tool *2020-05-29, version 3.1.5* This is a truly great artists/photographers’ tool to have in one’s digital toolkit. I can use it on both photos and illustrations to highlight and suppress details creatively. Used with a stylus, the results can be stunning. I only wish that I could tweak the amount of blur but I suspect that I wouldn’t use that feature nearly as often as I think I would. All in all, a great product. ### 5/5 — Still one of the best app *2020-05-13, version 3.1.5* Just wish the developer add ML engine to this app. Well Focos is the one now ### 5/5 — Pretty Good, thumbs up *2020-05-10, version 3.1.5* Just got this app because I wanted to touch up some selfies to use as profile pics. I usually take selfies on snap or Instagram because of the nice filters, but then you don’t get to take advantage of the portrait mode on your phone. This app did exactly what I needed it to. The “manual blur” is fast and easy to use and I love how it lets you change the amount of blur after you’ve cropped out the background ### 5/5 — Still works and it's great *2019-12-18, version 3.1.5* Was worried about buying an app that hasn't been updated in 3 years but it worked great. I am using an iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 13 and it worked flawlessly. Probably the best option on an iPhone for blurring backgrounds. I was very impressed. ### 5/5 — Fave app all time😁 *2019-08-06, version 3.1.5* Been using this since it came out. My go-to alternative if I don’t have my camera. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2019-07-14* até o momento não tenho oque reclamar, cumpre perfeitamente com oque diz! perfeiro! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
