Recomended ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-07-28* I paid for the year because it was $5. You get what you pay for. It picks what's blurred and it's overly intense. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-03-29* I purchased this app but it’s not working properly 👎🏼.. wasted money ### 1/5 — Nope! *2025-02-15* I outright refuse to subscribe or purchase an app that bombards me with ads in order to test an app. Either cripple it with a max number of edits before not running at all; but don’t bombard me with useless trash. Deleted FOREVER‼️ ### 1/5 — No longer works to blur only portion of screen *2024-06-26* App automatically seems to apply “AI Blur” which blurs the whole picture except for the AI determined subject. Previously I was using this to apply blur portion of photo. Now cannot turn off the AI Blur. It was worth it to watch an ad to support software. Now it does what I don’t want. I will have to delete and find another, I guess. ### 1/5 — Won’t do what’s the point of the app *2022-08-21* i downloaded this app to blur some photos for instagram, but almost every option had tried to make me buy premium, or just wouldn’t work at all. every time i clicked a different category of tools, i would get an add and then be asked to buy premium. highly would not recommend downloading. ### 1/5 — So bad terrible worst app ever *2022-06-16* They shouldn’t even have a free trial this apps free version is just an ad show. And can barely do the bare minimum. If u have the money to buy an annual subscription to an app that is made to do one thing, BLUR PHOTOs, this app is for you. If you are a regular human being trying to put an effect on a photo and are NOT willing to subscribe to a BLURRING EDITOR APP annually, run the other way because this app is garbagio, respectfully. ### 1/5 — Inappropriate Ads that you can’t skip *2022-04-25* Parents beware! Certain ads are quite inappropriate. There is no way to close or skip past them in getting back to edits. ### 1/5 — Just don’t download it *2021-12-30* So I had photos the I really needed to edit and so I saw this app and it’s completely FREE!! “WOW” i thought, oh wow I was wrong- I read the one review and I thought hmm that’s just one person so I downloaded it and I put my photo “in” to edit and just as the other person said it LITERALLY doesn’t do anything to the photo. NOTHING....NOTHING....and..... NOTHING!!!! Thank you for reading this. ### 1/5 — rubbish! *2021-12-22* it didn’t change anything. it’s just a waist of storage, i inserted a photo from my camera roll and it looked the exact same. i don’t recommend. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2021-11-21, version 3.6* Dis app cheeks onbro 🤦🏾‍♂️💯 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent free app *2022-05-10* I was looking for many image blurring apps. This is the one. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2022-04-17* This app is awesome, this app will make your photos look like they were taken by a professional digital SLR camera. ### 5/5 — Free *2022-03-21, version 3.6* It’s free ### 5/5 — the most simple app, but so convenient. *2022-03-09* other apps like pics art make you pay to use these free features, never deleting this app. ### 5/5 — ✨ *2022-02-28* I mean come on now it’s free y’all ### 5/5 — Gets the job done *2022-02-09* the apps blur is actually really good for photos. theres ads here and there but its better then paying for Picsart gold just to use motion blur. It's free and it gets the job done. ### 5/5 — Great At Doing It’s Advertised Job *2022-02-09* And completely free — no gimmicks. ### 5/5 — FINALLY *2022-02-04* A photo blurring app I don’t have to pay for. Great app! ### 5/5 — :) *2022-01-15, version 3.6* I love this app ### 5/5 — solution to picsart *2021-12-22, version 3.6* free and really useful i love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
