App needs more content control

App needs more ability to import and edit search for files!!

Excellent app

I really enjoy using this app, and it is very effective. My only suggestion would be to allow larger blocks of text to be redacted rather than only individual words.

Response from developer

Update: Thank you so much for updating your review and sharing your positive experience! Regarding your suggestion, I’m happy to let you know that this feature is already available - you can simply swipe over a line, and the app will redact the entire line for you. Give it a try, and let me know if there’s anything else I can assist with! Happy redacting! ———- Thank you for your feedback! I’m sorry to hear about the crashes. This issue might be caused by low memory on your phone, especially when working with large documents, as editing and redacting require a significant amount of processing power and storage space. I recommend ensuring there’s enough free memory on your device before uploading large files. If the problem persists, please don’t hesitate to reach out so I can assist further. Thank you for your understanding!

What a joke

I downloaded the app and couldn’t find details on how to use it. I emailed support and and still did not receive any support. Don’t waste your time

Response from developer

Hello, I apologize for the lack of response to your email. The app is designed to be straightforward: upload an image or PDF, and auto text detection will process it. Make sure the image is clear; otherwise, the text might not be fully detected. Then, you can tap on a word or swipe over a line to blur it. Save to Photos or Files. I hope this clarifies the process. Thank you for your feedback.

Doesn’t work for non-text

The app will do nothing unless it is able to detect text.

Response from developer

I’m sorry to hear about your experience. As a solo developer, I designed Blurtext primarily for editing text in images, screenshots, and PDFs. It employs text detection technology to identify text, allowing users to manipulate it within these files. If text isn’t detected, the editing tools might not work as intended. I appreciate your feedback and am constantly working to improve the app. Please feel free to share any specific issues or suggestions, and I’ll strive to enhance your experience in future updates.
