Just tap the X button, top left on the subscription screen. To cancel: 1) Open the App Store app. 2) Tap on your profile icon in the upper right-hand corner. 3) Tap Subscriptions. 4) You’ll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions. 5) If you want to cancel one, press the desired active subscription and then press Cancel Subscription toward the bottom. You can also cancel from the setting (access from top left on home screen). For future reference, the safest thing to do is cancel a subscription immediately after the free trial starts. The free trial will still continue for the allotted time. ### 5/5 — Excepcional *2026-01-13* Superou as minhas expectativas diversas vezes ### 4/5 — 設定を引き継いで欲しい *2026-01-06* 前にレビュー書いたのですが上手くいかなかったようなので再度。 モザイクを付けるのに色々試した中でこちらのアプリが一番良かったので課金してMacで使っています。 ただ、昔から使ってる画像編集ソフト(GraphicConverter)で範囲指定モザイクを付ける方法に比べて若干手順が増える等あって結局グラコンでやってしまう事も多く。 なので下記の対応をして貰えると大分使い勝手上がるかと思うので是非検討してみて下さい。 1つは、ブラシやぼかし効果等の設定を画像を開く度に選ぶのでなく、別画像を開いても続けて同じ設定のままで使えるようにして貰えるとかなり助かります。 複数枚数のモザイク付けする時等、毎回一々設定せずに同じ設定で繰り返したいという希望は少なからずあると思うので、可能なら是非お願いしたいです。(設定を記憶しておくのが難しいなら、予め設定したものをワンタッチで選べるという形でも構いません) もう1つは、Macでもファイルから開くでドライブ内のファイルを直接開けていいのですが、出来たら保存先も写真(アプリ)だけでなく好きに選べるようにも出来ると写真アプリを経由しないでファイルのやりとりが出来て使いやすくなるので有難いです。 あと1つは、保存ファイルがJPEG固定で最大4096pxまでのようなので、PNG保存やオリジナル解像度(出来たら10000px位までは)でも保存出来ると質落とさず保存出来てよく。 あとの2つはともかくとして、最初の設定繰り返し利用があればグンと使い勝手上がるので、是非とも検討宜しくお願い致します。 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are looking into how we can accommodate some of these changes. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-05, version 3.3.1* Perfect blur for my backgrounds! ### 3/5 — Works free with ads *2025-11-24, version 3.3.1* Works but it’s free so there are ads. ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️ *2025-11-14* 💋💋💋 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2026-08-09, version 3.7.0* the subscription isn’t as advertised at all! it doesn’t work the way it says it works ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-01-29, version 3.6.0* Not a lot of options. ### 1/5 — SO GOOD *2025-12-21, version 3.4.0* Not only is this free! But it’s super easy! I give it 4 star only cuz it also has a biiiit of paying. But aside from that. it’s a GREAT app. (In my case) ### 1/5 — Took My Money *2025-12-20, version 3.4.0* Hello, I’m not sure who the appropriate contact is, but I recently downloaded the app and selected the free 3-day trial, which stated that I would be charged $11.99 per month after the trial period. However, I was charged $9.99 immediately upon starting the trial. I did not intend to be charged at this time and would like to request a refund. ### 1/5 — 블러 브러쉬 크기조정이 안됩니다 *2025-10-18, version 3.3.1* 블러나 그런건 좋은데 조작이 어렵네요 ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-10-10, version 3.3.1* J’ai été chargé alors que j’étais censé avoir un essai gratuit. ARNAQUE ### 1/5 — new update *2025-07-08, version 3.0.1* the new update is so bad! i cannot blur how i use to blur any more it’s like they changed the blurring settings or something! it’s so much stuff moved around now it’s like ugh i don’t wanna be on this app any more, sorry but it was nice having it i have to find a new one now. ### 1/5 — Після оновлення стало гірше *2025-07-04, version 3.0.1* Після оновлення пропало багато функцій ### 1/5 — Solita roba a pagamento *2025-06-21, version 3.0.1* Solita app “truffa” che ti fa fare la prova gratis ma sei obbligato a mettere il pagamento così ti spilla soldi appena finiscono i tre giorni gratis. ### 1/5 — Daddy Picture *2025-06-15, version 2.10.0* Still Did Not Take blur Out ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Все идеально *2026-07-27, version 3.7.0* Единственное приложение в App Store где можно кисточкой размыливать определенные вещи ### 5/5 — Grateful, effective, satisfying *2026-06-30, version 3.7.0* Thank you for use of the app, effective and useful. ### 5/5 — Arrière plan *2026-06-27, version 3.7.0* Pouvoir flouter l’arrière plan est merveilleux, facile à utiliser. Wow. ### 5/5 — Very Effective and Easy to Use *2026-06-17, version 3.7.0* Intuitive use is hard to find. Often I get an app that is just too hard to use. This one works for me. I can use more images because I can selectively blur what is needed using several tools within the app. Also, you can use the free version with adds, though they push the paid version pretty aggressively. I still like the app. ### 5/5 — Recomendad *2026-05-29, version 3.7.0* Excelente app cumple las expectativas al 100% ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-05-23, version 3.7.0* Uju ### 5/5 — Ko *2026-05-03* Amei o app ### 5/5 — Just amazing 👌 fast and simple 👍 *2026-04-30, version 3.7.0* Cool app ### 5/5 — Tốt *2026-04-25, version 3.7.0* Đáp ứng nhu cầu ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-04-10, version 3.6.0* So much --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
