### 4/5 — 구독 취소해주세요.

*2026-05-31*

구독 취소할 수 있는 방법이 앱 안에 없네요. 이게 맞는 건가요?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're continuously improving our app and will consider adding an easier way to manage subscriptions. Your input is invaluable to us!

### 1/5 — Do not waist your time

*2026-04-21, version 2.0.56*

This app did not do anything it said it would do. Terrible!

### 1/5 — Not a good app for editing

*2025-11-21, version 2.0.39*

This app just isn’t that good at all with editing backgrounds or generating backgrounds. It went to generate an AI background for me and the background looked good but the item they were leaving in it somehow they messed it up and it made my arm look incredibly weird. The different options that are in a bar at the bottom you can’t move and don’t work right when you do click on them. It isn’t user friendly either and I’m good with electronics.

### 1/5 — Beware of Scam

*2025-09-26, version 2.0.34*

Do NOT download this app. I subscribed for a free trial that I “could cancel at anytime” in order to access the features I needed. As soon as I claimed the free trial, they charged me over 30$ for a whole year subscription. This app stole from me; it is a total scam. Beware.

### 1/5 — Forces subscription trial

*2025-09-07, version 2.0.33*

Junk

### 1/5 — Thieves

*2025-01-25, version 1.41.0*

Stole my last money after declining recurring payments

### 1/5 — 😡

*2024-08-02, version 1.40.9*

I’ve tried to cancel and delete this app and it keeps trying to charge me $40 only because I didn’t cancel by the one week trial date. I will not pay $40 for something I don’t want. And it won’t let me update any of my apps on my phone until I pay the $40.    

They are lying through their teeth. I’ve sent several messages with no responses. Please DO NOT get this app. They have no number to call them at. They do NOT respond to your messages. They scam people out their money because you don’t want the app and they try not to give you a choice but to pay for it. It’s a scam app. The editing is terrible.

### 5/5 — Love

*2024-06-27, version 1.40.3*

I love this game so make more

### 1/5 — FALSE ADVERTISING SAYS NO PAYMENT NOW TOOK $35

*2024-06-23, version 1.40.3*

i DO NOT pay for apps unless i am ABSOLUTELY thrilled by them. i needed a background remover bc canva wasn’t cutting it. it says NO PAYMENT NOW at bottom of screen and i got an email saying they took $35 and my subscription renews in 2025 (1 year from now) 

i’m pretty irritated and feel tricked. 

supposed to be a SEVEN DAY trial??

### 5/5 — Loving this App

*2024-05-21, version 1.34.2*

This editor background photo app is a creative powerhouse, offering a plethora of stunning backgrounds to enhance my images, I am definitely loving it. :)
