### 3/5 — Review

*2024-08-01, version 1.1*

Hi 

I really enjoy using this app and have been a fan for quite some time, especially because of its user-friendly features. However, I wanted to share some feedback regarding the recent update.

A few days ago, the app was updated with promises of an easier user experience, but l've encountered several glitches since then. The app frequently crashes when I try to open it. When I am able to use the app, I noticed that the "magic wand" feature, which automatically removes backgrounds, has been removed.

I would like to see the app function as it did before the update, without the glitches and with the return of the automatic background removal feature. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into this app and hope to see improvements soon. I would appreciate any updates on the progress of these issues.

Thank you!
