### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-03-06, version 1.1*

User friendly. Easy to remove unwanted items from your photos. I highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — It’s amazing !!

*2022-01-14, version 1.1*

This is the best app I’ve used when it comes to editing !

### 1/5 — This was terrible.

*2020-07-14, version 1.1*

I was excited to finally find an app that might work, but the moment I go into the app it tells me I have to pay to put my own images in there! I’ve been looking for hours, and might I say that all the other apps I got are much better than this.

### 5/5 — Free

*2019-12-30, version 1.1*

It’s not a “free” app you must pay 99 cents once you are in it to use it then more to add multiple pictures

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2019-10-17, version 1.1*

Not bad app overall. Takes a little getting used to, but works pretty well.

### 5/5 — Ads

*2019-09-21, version 1.1*

Other than the ads, this app could entertain me for hours!

### 4/5 — One issue

*2019-08-03, version 1.1*

It would be great if the app could detect something that’s not a backround, but other than that it’s pretty great!

### 5/5 — The best app ever!!

*2019-07-03, version 1.1*

This app helps me to edit my photos

### 5/5 — The best thing EVER

*2019-06-24, version 1.1*

I can edit pictures so smoothly

### 4/5 — not bad

*2019-03-09, version 1.1*

I mean, sure it has a few flaws that don't affect me but overall it's good
