### 4/5 — Blur photo App

*2025-01-10, version 2.2.6*

App is pretty self learning with lots of interesting filters to explore. My only hesitation to 5 starts would be , I was unaware of some sloppy blotting I had missed and while working with filters, saw my error but not the easy link back to blur to correct the area. Just a Suggestion. Cool app.

### 4/5 — Distorted image after saving to the photo gallery

*2024-08-10*

Edited images turn out to be distorted after saving images to the photo gallery. 

Please fix it.

### 4/5 — IAP Bought

*2023-06-03, version 2.2.2*

Blur Photo Pro

### 5/5 — Very Useful!

*2023-05-28, version 2.2.1*

This is the ideal app that I need for some of my YouTube preview pics. The ability to blur things I need to deemphasize are a lifesaver. Definitely something I will use often.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2023-05-28*

This is a brilliant app that helps us make our pics the best possible. It helps us blur different things in our pics and improves the quality. Highly recommended, thanks!

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2022-08-20, version 2.0*

Such an amazing app! I tried at least 5 other blurring apps before this one and all the others left me frustrated. Not only was this one easy to use, but you can also control how much you want to blur something, which I loved! I 100% recommend this blur app over all the others!

### 3/5 — Easy to Use

*2021-05-17, version 1.6*

This is a fairly good blur tool but refinements
are a bit difficult

### 5/5 — Absolutely Free😆

*2021-01-01, version 1.6*

I love a good app! And this is what I’m talking about! It doesn’t even ask you for a money trial thingy! In the game, everything is unlocked and you DONT HAVE TO PAY MONEY!!!!!👍🏻

### 5/5 — Not that good!

*2020-12-31, version 1.6*

Waste of money. Features are not good.

### 5/5 — Best blur tool!

*2020-12-08, version 1.6*

All I needed is to be able to blur certain areas of different pictures, tried about 10 different apps including photoshop and all did not work, were complicated and I had to pay!
With this app took less than a minute to figure out how to blur without reading instructions and it works beautiful!!
For free!!
Thank you developer!
You should set up an option to donate

### 5/5 — Woooow

*2020-11-15, version 1.6*

Wow. This app is spectacular and simple. The layout is smooth and simple, just jump in and start bluring. 

The save function is easy and doesn’t require a signup or for me to watch a video or post about how amazing the app is etc. I used this to blur backgrounds for items I am selling and this makes the process so painless. 

Thank you developer!!!

### 1/5 — What’s up with the sub

*2025-10-02, version 2.3*

I couldn’t demo the auto - blur that was advertised with the subscription, so I went ahead and subscribed because I was desperate and it said I could have a 3 day trial. However, after subscribing nothing changed. Still not able to auto blur, no type of tutorial, nothing. 
No new buttons no new features absolutely nothing changed. Weird, I canceled. I’m willing to pay for something that makes things convenient but make it work though.

### 1/5 — READ before downloading - NOT free to use

*2024-02-05, version 2.2.5*

This app is Not free to use. Premium Subscription Account REQUIRED.  Very misleading in the app's payment description. 

Been looking for an app like this with the ability to blur photos and just when I thought I found one, ended up being a SCAM.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-10-02, version 2.2.5*

You cannot adjust the intensity of the blur at all. Furthermore; after cancelling my 7 day free trial this app decided to auto-renew and charge me $15 after it had already been removed from my phone with the subscription canceled.

### 1/5 — Just opened it and it asked for a review

*2023-06-02, version 2.2.2*

Since I haven’t been able to try anything I don’t know if anything works as it should and if does I don’t know if it does it well.  If I find it does I’ll update my rating…but as of right now…it’s main screen is nothing exciting.

### 1/5 — $$

*2023-04-11, version 2.0*

Need  in app purchases

### 1/5 — Tracks you

*2022-11-04, version 2.0*

This app (and any of its companion apps which have a similar “water droplet” logo, collects this data from you: Data Linked to You The following data may be collected but it is not linked to your identity: ⚪︎ Purchases ⚪︎ Location ⚪︎§= Identifiers ⚪︎ al Usage Data ⚪︎ Diagnostics

### 1/5 — Плати или умри

*2022-02-03, version 2.0*

Не успел зайти, дай 1300 с копейками!!

### 1/5 — I used to love this app but now all its effects are locked behind a paywall

*2021-06-20, version 2.0*

This app used to be great, you could choose what specific areas of a photo you wanted to blur and you could choose what effect to over lay on the blurred area. I usually used the triangulate effect. But now everything that was free before is locked behind a paywall, not just the new filters they added but also all the old blurring effects, now only the basic blur is free. I’ll be finding a new blurring app for fun edits now

### 1/5 — READ NOW! 😠

*2021-05-27, version 1.6*

This app is trash seriously 

I downloaded this app because I needed to blur something for a photo the was really important. So I gave this app a go. So far so good I’m thinking. When I’m done editing it I save it to my camera roll. So I look to check if the photo was in my camera roll. The photo wasn’t there. I tried multiple times and still it wasn’t there. I keep trying to add the photo into my camera roll but it always said “Success!” when in reality it wasn’t in my camera roll. And that photo was very important and I wanted it blurred. I hope I get feedback on this real soon.

### 2/5 — It would be great but....

*2020-10-12, version 1.6*

There’s no undo option after changing the settings. So I’d have to keep starting over. Once the glitches are fixed this would be a great app.

### 5/5 — Distorted image after saving to the photo gallery (White cutout spaces)

*2025-01-03, version 2.2.6*

Edited images turn out to be distorted after saving images to the photo gallery. 

Please fix it.

Overall, NOT BAD application.

### 5/5 — Fav blur app!

*2023-07-03, version 2.2.4*

I LOVE how it zooms into the area you are blurring ❤️And it's so easy to use as well.

### 5/5 — I want it for iPad

*2023-06-07, version 2.2.3*

Nice apps. But i want to use it for my ipad. Please

### 5/5 — 五星了

作者添加中文谢谢☺️

### 5/5 — wow

*2023-06-03, version 2.2.2*

Best app

### 5/5 — A really cool app

*2023-06-02, version 2.2.2*

This is very easy to use I love the way this is designed and presented and was very very easy for me to use

### 5/5 — Impressively Effective

*2023-06-02, version 2.2.2*

I’m just trying out the app for the first time and I’m impressed with its simplicity, accuracy, and variety of effects. 

One more filter I’d like to see would have the in-focus elements in color and the blurred parts in black and white. I’ve already found ways to approximate that, but it would be great to have a built-in one-click solution. 

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Отличная прога 😀✌️

*2023-06-02, version 2.2.2*

Спасибо забрал 🙏😊

This software is easy to use and no longer do you have to worry about security issues regarding posting your face online!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-05-29, version 2.2.1*

I really liked the app. Many different effects, a large number of options in the blur photo editor.
