### 1/5 — Buggy on iPhone XR.  Locks up and have to uninstall and reinstall .

*2026-07-25*

Not a great app.

### 5/5 — I’ve had this app for a few years and never deleted it

*2026-06-29*

This app is so good, I love blurring the background and that👍. But my favourite thing is the new zebra update that you did a few weeks ago, however you should update your apps more regularly, I have everyone of your apps, MoshUp blueistic tictac tini cubistic two lines and space dots and repeater and flux, there brilliant also can you please add a more detailed totorial as zebra mode is hard to understand

**Developer response:** Thank you for the nice feedback. I would also like to spend more time on the apps but as a single developer the time is just not enough. And often I am more interested in new project instead of older apps :) At the moment I try to give at least my main apps Bluristic & MoshUp an update from time to time. Yes. Zebra would need some more informations. For the moment you can contact me on @pytebyte on Instagram where I could give you some help. Greetings

### 5/5 — Welcome addition to the creative toolbox

*2026-05-14*

As someone deeply entrenched in creative photography I have found Bluristic to be a most valuable addition to my toolbox.
The app can be used far beyond its intended use, always creating refreshing and artistic outcomes.

The results of lengthy exploration and guides can be found on my website - Alanbrownphotography.com

### 5/5 — Additional creative options

*2025-12-29*

As a passionate ICM photographer I explored this app with low expectations.
However, that discovered that the app can be pushed way beyond its documented use case, and discovered a feature that expands creativity even further.
Details can be found on my website blog- Alanbrownphotography.com

### 5/5 — Great…. But….

*2025-10-15*

It does what I need fabulously.. ICM.  BUT, I get 11mp or 7mp square… are you able to increase pixels?  Soon it won’t work with new iPhones

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. At the moment I am limited by OpenGLs texture size. If I at some point I move to the metal engine there would be bigger textures but I am limited by the incoming camera texture size and at the moment anyway. I am using the maximum which is around 4K I think. What do you mean with it won’t work with new iPhones ? Greetings

### 4/5 — Good but crashes

*2025-06-25*

good app but crashes after 2-3 photos and accordingly photos are not saved. If developers fix it, it will be good

**Developer response:** Hey. Sorry to hear that. Do you save internal in the app or on the iPhone gallery. Which iPhone and iOS version do you have ? Greetings 

Edit: I made a new update. 1.8. hope that will fix the issues you mentioned. Greetings

### 5/5 — Beste Langzeitaufnahme

*2025-05-10*

Wer diese App schlecht bewertet, hat sie nicht verstanden! Lieber Entwickler, bleib am Ball! 
Eine ganz große Bitte: Das App-Icon möchte ich gar nicht auf meiner Homeseite sehen. Es ist einfach nicht schön und zeitgemäß.

Funktionalität der App aber: mehr als 5 Sterne!

**Developer response:** Hehe . Vielen Dank für das Feedback. Ja an das App Icon könnte man sich nochmal ran setzen. Als ich die App damals entwickelt hatte gab es eine Full Screen Start Bild von den Bäumen. Deswegen wurde es dann auch das Icon. Momentan steck ich leider in anderen Projekten fest so das bluristic etwas vernachlässigt wird

### 5/5 — This app is greate

*2025-02-15, version 1.732*

This is my favourite app you have made it says exactly it dose and it's so well made. Is there anyway you could add more of those box focus point

### 5/5 — Create more

*2024-09-30*

I’ve got every single one of your apps and they are amazing but bluristic is my favourite Sam as mosh up.

Can you create mor cool apps pls

**Developer response:** Sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much for your support. Lately I got a bit slower with releasing new apps since each app grew in size. I have one game project open but it needs at least half a year. Greetings

### 5/5 — Пользовалась с удовольствием 4 года

*2024-06-25*

Но недавно появился какой-то баг при использовании на iPhone 13pro(((
При открытии Bluristic сам начинает мгновенно снимать не давая возможности выбрать точку фокусмровки.
На другом телефоне(iphone8) приложение работает как раньше

**Developer response:** Я не уверен, что мы уже решили проблему через Instagram. Если нет, извините за поздний ответ. У другого клиента была похожая проблема с MoshUp, и решение заключалось в том, что ему пришлось отключить специальные возможности на своем мобильном телефоне. Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать, если это помогло. привет
