## What is Blendeo?

Blendeo, the most advanced long exposure photo and video editor. First of its kind, it lets you change exposure time after capture to blend imagery that gets noticed. 


The hardest part of creating amazing long exposures is out of the control of even the best photographers. You can use a tripod or stabilization, frame the scene just right, but when do you start and stop the capture? With Blendeo you don’t need to get lucky; you take control.

No need for ND filters, calculating shutter time, aperture, or ISO. Simply capture for up to 5 minutes or import a video and edit the perfect long exposure with Blendeo.

"I can quickly create a Sunrise photo with smooth water thanks to Blendeo. No need for waiting 5 minutes with a $500 filter on my lens." — Jason Teale

### 2/5 — App Crashes A lot…….

*2026-07-07*

Trying to work on my 4th of July videos again this year and the same thing app still crashes horribly when it works it nice but they need to fix the app crashes I’ve crashed now 10 times in 6 mins

### 2/5 — Why would I pay for this app

*2025-11-03, version 2025.40*

Every time you save a photo to your camera roll it duplicates within the blendeo documents page, but there are no image thumbnails and the arrangement of photos changes. I’d pay 3.99 for a year, not per month lol. What a joke.

### 2/5 — Lag!!!!!

*2024-03-06*

I am using the iPhone 15 pro which has the best processor ever in an iPhone and yet still it takes forever to load or process anything over a minute.  Plus you have to pay.  But the images do turn out good.  Also every single time I want to download a photo I created in the app the app crashes and closes itself the first time so I have to go through the download process twice for each photo. :(

### 5/5 — An Excellent Application for the quick work

*2023-07-19*

I used this application extensively this summer (Especially last two months May, June, and July of 2023). Results were absolutely mind blowing. I am from Alaska and still trying to explore this vast space of the land. Hoping to use this application more often in the future. 

These are some features that I want to humbly request from you hardworking fellas: 

1. High resolution exporting features (At least 12 MP or 48 MP). 6 MP and 1 MP of exporting options are not that much fun. 

2. Zooming-in and zooming-out options are too limited. I need this feature to be more flexible (0.2x, 0.3x, 0.4x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and more). Again, please consider high resolution exporting option. (Because of this too fixated feature that I had to sacrifice some of the great opportunities while using this application)

3. Please keep working on this application. AI features are prevalent at this time. Make sure to check it out. 

4. More of aspect ratio options are needed. Please do no limit the power of this application. 

My device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS) and iPad Pro 12.9” (3rd Generation, 2018)

Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. And thank you for sharing all these excellent applications and updating them recently.

With Kindest Regards-BR

### 1/5 — Was soll diese App

*2023-05-30*

Was soll diese App bringen? Fast 5€ pro Monat für eine einfache billige App. Dessen Funktion mir nicht einleuchtet. 

Ergibt nur komische Bilder und Videos. Schrecklich. Dazu lassen sich Bilder aus der Galerie garnicht öffnen. Nur aus Dokumenten kann man die Bilder und Videos laden. 

Und das für satte 5€. 

LOL.

### 1/5 — One star ⭐️ for NOT updating since 2 years

*2022-10-23, version 1.3*

One star ⭐️ for NOT updating this application since 2 years. I absolutely hate a future of “Uncertainty.”

My Devices:
1. iPhone 14 Pro Max (Latest iOS)
2. iPad Pro 12.9” (2018, 3rd Generation, iPadOS 15.7 or later) 

Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. I am a Pro User of this application.

### 3/5 — The app crashes all the time

*2022-08-31*

I like it but it is incredibly slow and keeps crashing and not saving my trims

### 3/5 — Good App but £80..noooo

*2022-01-15, version 1.3*

This is a good app but I’m not paying so much money for an app which I would only use occasionally and I’m not doing subscription, sorry. £40 I would consider it.

### 3/5 — 圖片拍好結果一堆鳥

*2021-06-11, version 1.3*

好用是好用 效果也不錯 
但為什麼
圖片拍好結果一堆鳥…
很難看
免費App要做成這樣乾脆不要做

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2021-02-11, version 1.3*

When it works it’s good but it crashes frequently on my iPhone 10. I’d like to use it but the unreliability makes a subscription out of the question.
