It’s very buggy especially when not in front camera facing mode. It also is difficult to detect multiple faces, especially in motion, so I’d recommend editing your photo after taking it instead of relying on the app to do it for you. ### 4/5 — Great app - Easy to use! *2020-12-20, version 1.0* The app itself is great. Very easy to use, however, I really wish that you could upload pre-existing content to the app. ### 4/5 — Bereits ziemlich gut *2020-11-29, version 1.0* Gut wäre es auch bereits vorhandene Fotos anonymisieren zu können. ### 4/5 — Great app but... *2020-06-25, version 1.0* Please add self timer then it will be perfect ### 4/5 — Good App with space for improvements *2020-06-15, version 1.0* The App is a good idea (especially in Germany), but has a few failings. The circle is too big for most uses and needs a setting for the size. On the settings side, I find it annoying that they aren‘t remembered. It starts with a solid yellow circle 🟡 which can‘t be reduced in size, can‘t have the colour changed, and most annoying, disregards the use of any previous setting that was used! Why oh why do I have to go into settings and change it each time I use the App????? 🤬 ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-06-13, version 1.0* Really easy to use and nice user interface ### 5/5 — A suggestion *2020-06-12, version 1.0* Love the app. Would be great if I could tap on a blocked out face/body to unblock just that face/body and leave the others blocked. It would also be amazing if you could figure out how to incorporate this blocking information as a photo edit instead of a raw photo, so faces/bodies could be unblocked later. Maybe even a way to block out faces/bodies in existing photos as a type of filter! ### 5/5 — Simple and elegant design! *2020-06-12, version 1.0* There is a simplicity and elegance to the design. Love it! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-06-12, version 1.0* now ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 👎 *2022-01-15, version 1.0.1* Siamo alle solite….aggiornamenti quasi inesistenti, miglioramenti nessuni, credo sia un app da cancellare. ### 1/5 — Weird *2021-12-30, version 1.0.1* This app wanted to do AirDrops and access my microphone before even running the app for the first time. Seems suspicious ### 1/5 — No access to photo library *2020-12-07* Waste of money ### 1/5 — Where are the pictures and the videos? *2020-11-18, version 1.0* I can not find any recorded video or picture. The app says it is processing... but even single photo is not recorded locally. The developer site does not show any contact data nor help. I have paid for PRO. Looks like fraud? ### 2/5 — Could definitely be better *2021-12-02, version 1.0.1* The advertised feature that drew me into downloading the app was a full body blur as this was an intriguing concept to me. This doesn’t work or even have the buttons like advertised in their App Store listing. Face blur and delete works fine, could be better detection ML but we can only work with what Apple pushes out too so I somewhat get it. ### 2/5 — Suggestion for improvement *2021-02-15, version 1.0.1* When the app stops recognising a face it simply removes the blur. Any sudden motion will reveal the face for a few seconds which renders the anonymisation ineffective. I suggest leaving the blur for at least a few seconds to allow the ai to catch up with the face. Especially if there are no dramatic pixel changes in the area, the odds are the face is still there, just not getting recognised by the software. ### 3/5 — Tip *2022-07-12, version 1.0.1* Please add the feature to blur and censor already existent videos and Pictures from the gallery! ### 3/5 — Great overall but it has a major flaw *2020-07-28, version 1.0* Faces are still visible, and won’t be covered if the camera moves fast enough. ### 4/5 — Amazing app but please add anonymisation of photos from camera roll *2025-10-16, version 1.0.1* The app is amazing, the fact it works locally is even better. I wish it had a feature to anonymise photos from camera roll too. It it the only missing feature that I can think of ### 4/5 — Sehr Gut 👍 *2022-06-15, version 1.0.1* Die App ist übersichtlich und gut aus gestattet. Leider ist die Funktion Full Body nicht da und auch die zwei Symbole sind nicht da diese sind bei mir nur in derÜbersicht. Ansonsten Funktioniert sie , 👍😃 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ottima *2020-09-18, version 1.0* La migliore al momento... magari con qualche upgrade non sarebbe male ### 5/5 — Sehr gut aber etwas Fehlt *2020-08-31, version 1.0* Die App ist sehr gut aber ich würde mich freuen wenn man es Auch Verpixeln könnte ### 5/5 — Valuable use of AR *2020-08-10, version 1.0* Really think this has potential to democratize anonymous feedback. This is important now when we need to enable the world to voice their opinions without threat of retaliation. ### 5/5 — Beautiful application. *2020-08-02* Love the concept. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2020-07-16, version 1.0* This has worked great for certain nightly festivities in Portland... if you know what I mean.... ### 5/5 — Very thoughtful app *2020-07-14, version 1.0* The creators put thought into this app. I bought it not for the privacy features but simply because I’m a huge fan of John Baldessari and he would have loved this. ### 5/5 — Sehr gut👍 *2020-07-01, version 1.0* Funktioniert einwandfrei.👍 ### 5/5 — A great start! *2020-06-16, version 1.0* This is a great tool to blur faces in video. Sometimes if the phone is moved it can blink, or loses the blur feature for a very short time, why I said blink. But it almost always immediately picks the blur back up. I can see it improving greatly in the near future and I look forward to continue to use it. ### 5/5 — IPhone7 *2020-06-14, version 1.0* W iPhone7 nie można zakryć całości tylko twarz ### 5/5 — Tolle App... *2020-06-14, version 1.0* ...die genau das macht, was sie soll. Egal ob Gesicht, Körper oder Stimme. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
