### 2/5 — Crashes - a lot!!

*2014-12-12, version 1.1.0*

When I first downloaded it I loved it!! I blurred 2 pictures with it! Then about 2 days later I went to blur another picture and every time I clicked on the blue button the whole thing would crash! And I tried multiple different pictures! So I've uninstalled and re installing to see if that makes a difference

### 3/5 — Good when I first got it

*2014-07-11*

I got this app because my friend used it, and I liked the blurring effect. Now, everytime I try to do a photo, the app starts over, and makes me reload the photo, and the cycle continues.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2015-09-27, version 1.3.0*

So hard to figure out and ended up deleting

### 1/5 — Confused...

*2015-06-16*

Is this app supposed to work? Would've given zero stars if that was an option. I don't know if it's me or the app, but I can't get it to work...

### 1/5 — Not good needs to be worked on

*2015-06-14, version 1.3.0*

Ugh

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-05-28*

Doesn't seem to work or is super un-intuitive

### 1/5 — THIS APP IS USELESS!

*2015-05-21*

Nothing happens. I've tried to input a photo & it just takes me back to the home screen. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2015-02-13*

I'll upload an image and try to crop out the negative space but the picture disappears. I've tried it on over a dozen different pictures of different sizes just to see if they were too big or something, but it doesn't work. Infuriating!

### 1/5 — Aweful!

*2015-02-10*

After every time I tried to crop my pic and hit the check button it disappeared. Completely pointless app

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-01-24, version 1.1.1*

I downloaded the app but as soon as I try tapping the button in the middle, it shuts off. It's happened 5 times now and I haven't even had the chance to use it 😂

### 1/5 — Difficult to use - not happy

*2015-01-03*

The app itself seems very simple but when I try to blur the border it only blurs one side and it doesn't give you much variety to adjust anything. Overall not very satisfied with this app.

### 1/5 — Wish I could go back...

*2014-05-15, version 1.0*

And saved the time I wasted on this app.
It doesn't do squat unless you put out for an IAP. Fine, But that somehow was left out of the summary.
One of the shortest lives an app has had on any of my iDevices.

*2015-05-16*

i love this its really easy to use!!

### 5/5 — Ace app!

*2014-10-31, version 1.1.0*

I've always wanted to blur my pictures and now this app does it easy as a simple click. The results are phenomenal such an easy app to use. All the family use it now! Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2014-10-26*

This is amazing work done. It works great and keep up the good work. :D

### 5/5 — Le Amaze

*2014-10-16, version 1.1.0*

I use this all the time before posting on Instagram now.

### 5/5 — just what i was looking for

*2014-08-08*

a little rough on controlling the border, but all in all good app!

### 4/5 — 3D Touch

*2015-12-01*

Needs 3D Touch support to "Edit Last Photo"

### 4/5 — Awesome app that easily does cliché insta blurred image background

*2015-01-20*

This app easily achieves the blurred background reimage effect made famous on Instagram. Love the app could definitely use some bug fixes.

Known bugs- portrait lock doesn't work, pictures randomly have transparent squares in app (doesn't effect saving) 

Fix the bugs and you'll have a 5* rating! 😉

### 3/5 — Basic app

*2015-12-20*

Basic app but sliders (blur, fade, brightness) are hard to move, the sliders aren't that easy to move. Would like to see better and smoother UI. But it gets the job done.
