At least not on an iPhone 12. The only option available is crop, and even that doesn’t work properly. ### 1/5 — Time waste *2022-06-13* Full of ads absolutely paid. Nothing good ### 1/5 — What a worthless app *2021-09-14* The developer just wanted quick bucks so decided to push ad in every one minute.. and the app doesn’t even work if you don’t have internet connection.. I wish there was a rating lower than one ### 1/5 — Too bad.. too many advts…. Too difficult to navigate *2021-08-01* The too concept is good, but developer is focused only at making money by giving advertisements every 1 min or less. Really irritating users with the tool. Not user friendly. I struggled a lot blurring the right part of the picture. Saving the picture to phone saves it in a very low clarity format. Very bad implementation plan by developer. Please understand there is something more than money in life. ### 1/5 — Horrendous advertising *2021-07-29* Every few seconds you are interrupted by an add and have to wait. Nothing special as an editor either. ### 1/5 — Cant select options on top *2021-07-04* The options on the top banner dont work always, need to keep clicking to try and get it to work. Over use of advertising and blue just completely ruins the image without blend. Terrible ### 2/5 — Interface issue and Too much ads *2021-06-20, version 1.5* The interface is somehow larger than the screen and unable to press on the undo button and too much ads repeatedly. ### 1/5 — This is a very bad app . It is completely a SCAM . *2021-06-17* It makes the photo blur in a very bad way. I hate this app.💣 ### 1/5 — W *2020-11-24* Worster app ever seen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not like it *2026-01-12* Bekar app features kaam k nhi h ### 1/5 — Buttons on screen unreachable!!! *2025-02-14* I selected a picture and wanted to tap on done to continue editing. But the done button was outside of my screen border and i couldn’t click it. Pathetic experience. Uninstalled ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-07-30* Too many commercial before you can blur things out a waste ### 1/5 — Not advanced enough *2023-12-07* The app is too limited. Great concept but the tools available don’t allow you to do a good finishing job on the photo so unless they advance the app, no point in having it in the first place. Shame. ### 1/5 — Still doesn’t work *2023-07-15, version 1.5* Please fix. ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2023-06-17* Not updated for 2 years. Should be removed from the App Store. Absolute c*ap! ### 1/5 — Blur is garbage *2023-05-28* Embarrassing ### 1/5 — Needs a Fix *2023-04-10, version 1.5* App does not work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 13 max *2023-02-20* You can’t get to any of the features buttons. They’re off the screen. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2023-01-30* This app doesn’t even deserve a 1 star rating, the worst app there is out here. The save image quality is trash. It has vulgar ads and all the created seems to be interested in in making money. There are ads every 1 minute. The app is falsely advertised as it is nothing like shown in the preview. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fishing *2024-01-12* This app is brilliant for showing off your catch without revealing the background and therefore your mark. Recommended for all fisherfolk. ### 5/5 — Blur faces it background *2023-12-14* The top control determines the size of the blurring circle. The bottom control makes the distance between your finer and the blur circle. Don’t yet know what the middle one does. GREAT RESULTS ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2023-09-13* Greta app! I love it!! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-11-08* Easy to use, great result ### 3/5 — App doesn’t fit screen *2023-09-21* The app’s measurements doesn’t fit my screen it seems to be zoomed in. So it’s very hard to do anything. ### 3/5 — Would be nice but difficult on iphone13 *2022-07-11* Hard to push buttons in the top because there is a camera lense on the screen of the iphone13 ### 3/5 — Button *2022-05-20, version 1.5* Button above are too high, have to click few times just to return/forward/save . Also while blurring selected areas, no toggle to let go when needed to. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2025-07-11* There are no instructions, difficult to navigate. The “done” button is placed too high on the screen corner, overlapping on the phone’s WiFi and battery level icons causing this function to be very hard to press and register my taps. ### 2/5 — Hate it *2023-05-18* This app is garbage. It ruins the quality of the photo after you save it ### 2/5 — Destroys photo quality *2022-08-21, version 1.5* When saving photo after editing it’s really bad quality --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
