We're continuously improving our app and will consider adding an easier way to manage subscriptions. Your input is invaluable to us! ### 1/5 — Einfach enttäuschend! *2024-03-04* Es tut mir leid sagen zu müssen: An dieser App stimmt fast gar nichts! Die automatisch erzeugten Masken sind sehr ungenau, ohne manuelle Korrektur ist das Ergebnis einfach nur unsauber. Das machen alle ausprobierten anderen Apps deutlich besser. Im Einzelnen: “Remove Background“ - Das abgespeicherte Bild ist (immer!) unscharf und somit nicht zu verwenden. „Remove Objects“ - Da entsteht dann irgendwelcher Matsch; das klappt nicht mal mit einer so simplen Sache, wie einen weißen Lichtschalter an einer weißen Wand zu entfernen. Und: Jede zusätzliche Operation macht das Ausgangsbild unschärfer! Das ist unglaublich! „Blur face“ - Es wird eine Art Ei auf das Gesicht gesetzt, das nicht der Kopfform entspricht und sich auch nicht verschieben lässt. Ergebnis unbefriedigend! Der Video-Editor? - Einfach nur schrecklich! Und von dort aus kommt man, trotz Pfeil, auch nicht wieder zurück; man muss die App schließen und neu starten. Das Speichern von Bildern ist dann auch eine eher zufällige Angelegenheit und Glückssache. Bis auf den Austausch von Hintergründen sind jegliche Ergebnisse zwischen unbefriedigend und unbrauchbar. Ausprobiert auf einem iPad Pro und einem iPhone 12 mit dem Fazit: Diese App ist grottenschlecht! **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Wir werden hart arbeiten, um Ihre Probleme zu lösen und die App zu verbessern. ### 1/5 — Absolutely awful GUI *2024-03-03, version 1.31.4* Bought app via the indie app Santa deal. Purchase was successful; purchase screen never goes away. Just a shopping cart asking if I want a trial and subscription. If you can make it to the actual tools; they are awkward to use and there are no instructions. Indie App Santa should be embarrassed featuring this hot mess of an app. There are much better photo editors. Get a different one. ### 3/5 — Läuft hier noch was *2024-03-03* 6 Jahre alte Bewertungen… **Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

As soon as I downloaded, £49.99 came out of my account - poor service , be aware , I have requested a refund from Apple.

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. ### 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?? ### 1/5 — Lifetime Lizenz ohne Wirkung *2024-03-17* Egal wir gut oder schlecht diese App ist, man kann sie nicht erneut installieren, selbst mit abgeschossenen Abo. Der Wiederherstellungslink ist der einzige Link, der keine Reaktion hervorruft. Ich kann von der Nutzung daher nur abraten. **Developer response:** Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Wir arbeiten ständig an Verbesserungen und nehmen Ihr Feedback ernst. Bitte kontaktieren Sie unseren Support für weitere Hilfe. ### 1/5 — Did t get my life time subscription *2024-03-09, version 1.31.4* I paid for a lifetime premium subscription and for some reason I keep getting advertisements to sign up for premium services. ### 1/5 — Maybe I’m missing something? *2024-03-04, version 1.31.4* This app claims to have an “innumerable number of tools” for editing photos. I purchased it for $.99 during a promo, and the only thing I can do with it is blur my background or remove it. 🤔 I will change my review once I’m shown how to access all of these magical apps, because I’ve tried everything available in the app to find them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love *2024-06-27, version 1.40.3* I love this game so make more ### 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. :) ### 5/5 — Time Saving and Efficient *2024-05-06, version 1.33.1* I used to stress myself erasing background of my pictures using my hand before, this app just made my work easier. Really nice app. ### 5/5 — Great & Fun! *2024-05-02, version 1.33.1* I spend a lot of time playing with my photos and creating cool images for social media on this app! It is super simple to use whether you are replacing a background or blurring and so on. I love that it has so many options for backgrounds, and you can even import your own. I have tried several other apps like this one and they are typically awful. This app however is the best one I have come across and I recommend it to people all the time! Definitely try it out! ### 5/5 — Best app!! *2024-05-01, version 1.33.1* The best photo editing app I have ever experienced. This app makes my addition very easy and smooth. I tried many apps but it is the best. Install it and make your photos best. Highly recommend this app!! ### 5/5 — عراق *2023-08-18, version 1.20.60* روعه ### 5/5 — eeee *2023-01-18, version 1.10.11* eeeee ### 5/5 — Over all good *2022-04-30, version 1.9.88* Gets the job done, easy to use ### 5/5 — Will use some more *2022-04-28, version 1.9.88* Kind of confusing to figure out at first.
