After I was forced to update it, it’s become totally useless. It removes only half the background and also half of the main image without any way to undo it. If something isn’t broken, don’t fix it. ### 1/5 — WORST APP EVERRR *2026-05-31, version 2.5.2* DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP, ITS A SCAM AMD WILL STEALL YOUR INFORMATION, NONE OF THE FEATURES ACTUALLY WORK!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD ### 3/5 — GREAT APP :) just one problem. *2026-05-29, version 2.5.2* So I’ve been using the background eraser and its great! But for some reason anytime I try and use object eraser, it says “Processing Error” “An error occurred. Please try again.” And it never works if I retry, it does the same with literally all of my photos too. And if I try to use it without processing it crashes. Actually before a update, it would actually let me erase objects, kinda, because it crashed back then with in 3-5 seconds still. But background eraser still works so yeah, :3 thats good. 3 Stars until fix. ### 1/5 — pro *2026-05-20, version 2.5.2* my pro subscription isnt working for over a month now and it says it expires in july. ### 1/5 — Went bad so fast *2026-05-19, version 2.5.2* Garbage now. Try to make a png and it will give you 3 ads and still not do what it promises ### 1/5 — RIP Eraser App *2026-05-15, version 2.5.2* This used to be THE BEST eraser app there was! I tried so many others and this one stayed faithful for YEARS! But now this app is NOTHING like what it used to be. It’s complete garbage now and practically unusable. I’m so sad to have to delete it after so many years of relying on it. So long AI and thanks for all the pollution and death. ### 1/5 — The latest update destroyed a great app *2026-05-13, version 2.5.2* Why would you take away the abilities and ease of erasing images with your latest update?!?! It’s awful now and broken! Why!!? ### 1/5 — used to be good *2026-05-10, version 2.5.2* full of ads now was great at one point in time now it's garbage ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-04-26, version 2.5.2* This app WAS great, but AI has made it completely useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix issues with subscription. *2026-08-16, version 2.5.3* I bought the 1 year subscription it will end on August 7th 2027 I am currently watching ads to save my projects. ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2026-08-11, version 2.5.3* Lousy program. Does everything but allow you to erase. ### 1/5 — Fails every time *2026-07-29, version 2.5.3* Can never get the background to erase on this app. I was just trying with a pretty simple black-and-white logo image that completely got screwed up. Not sure of the point of this app otherwise. ### 1/5 — What did you do?? *2026-07-23, version 2.5.3* I’ve had this app for many years and it’s been great. It’s been a while since I used it and clearly they’ve made many changes. The restore feature is unusable currently and is incredibly glitchy. You also can’t adjust the size on either the eraser or the restore right now. The sliders are there, but they don’t work. Really frustrating, I just wanted to make a quick mask on an app I’ve known for years. ### 1/5 — Another app ruined with AI *2026-07-14, version 2.5.3* You cannot erase your background or picture manually anymore instead added annoying useless tools and AI completely ruined the app and useless ### 1/5 — Terrible now *2026-07-02, version 2.5.2* New updates have ruined this app. Used to be my go to app. Now have to move on to new one ### 1/5 — You ruined a great app *2026-06-30, version 2.5.2* Background eraser was a great app. Now it's "AI Background eraser" and the app is TERRIBLE. They ruined a great app. ### 1/5 — Update ruined it *2026-06-29, version 2.5.2* Ever since the update, the background eraser function is complete trash. It always erases a chunky of the object I’m trying to cut out, and it’s just not worth my time anymore to mess around with an app that doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Awful update *2026-06-18, version 2.5.2* Awful update. Unusable now. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Ruined it with AI *2026-06-13, version 2.5.2* You know what you did. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2026-08-22, version 2.5.3* Love this app. Thanks to whoever made it. Simple and easy❤️ ### 5/5 — Erase *2026-07-30, version 2.5.3* I need it ### 5/5 — Comparison is the thief of joy, work well! God speed. *2026-07-26, version 2.5.3* Such as it is, a stunning thing, the masterpiece Image generations! ### 5/5 — HAD APP FOR YEARS *2026-07-21, version 2.5.3* This app is amazing! Easy to use to remove backgrounds and make pics transparent. Great for emoji and sticker making ### 5/5 — Works well *2026-07-02, version 2.5.2* It works really well except you only get three background changes before you have to watch a 30 second ad unless you pay for the premium ### 5/5 — JDPLAYS *2026-06-29, version 2.5.2* BEST BACKGROUND REMOVER ON MOBILE! ### 5/5 — Good for editing *2026-06-18, version 2.5.2* Lowkey if your a editor and want to find a app that allows you to make pngs to whatever edit your making then this is the right app for you ### 5/5 — hahaha *2026-06-05, version 2.5.2* i’m going to go ahead to bed and go back and watch some football with the girls tomorrow night i love you guys so very so very so sweet and sweet dreams and sweet and sour sweet dream and i will talk to your mom tomorrow night love ### 5/5 — Buenísimas *2026-06-03, version 2.5.2* Buenísimas ### 5/5 — I do not like the latest update. *2026-04-10, version 2.5.1* The total overhaul has ruined this app for me and I’ve been using it for years. It crops the size of your background photo, and you can’t maneuver your cutout however you want. A technical improvement would have sufficed. A total redesign ruined an easy effective tool. I’m looking elsewhere for a better app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
