I tried to use the share option to Instagram and I got kicked out and had to remake my edit. ### 2/5 — A good start but I was hoping for more *2016-12-01, version 1.6* I really like the idea that I could determine the path of the bokeh with my finger, but the app puts the shapes around my finger as well so there is no precision to this implementation. Also, the size of the bokeh are larger than I need / want but there is no size control. If the devs allow for more control of the path and size then this would be at least 4 stars. I look forward to updates and a chance to give a better rating. ### 3/5 — Update now *2016-01-09, version 1.6* Can you guys please update the app!!! ### 2/5 — More work needed *2015-10-18, version 1.6* I like the concept of the app but there needs to be improvements, so that you can be more precise with the colour you want to use and more control over where exactly you want to place the shapes. ### 3/5 — 使いにくい *2015-01-26* かわいいんだけどスタンプが押しにくい。操作をもっとやりやすくして欲しい。 ### 2/5 — Eh *2015-01-09, version 1.6* You can't choose the exact color you want for the effects, you have to choose from a pre selected color palette, and you can't adjust the bokeh size. I've used better apps :/ ### 2/5 — Confusing *2014-10-23, version 1.6* Does not work well on iPad. Confusing interface. Not worth but they can keep the dollar if it helps build it better ### 3/5 — 綺麗に仕上がるけど… *2014-06-30* 好きな色に設定しにくいし、狙い通りのところにスタンプをつけれない。 ### 4/5 — Good start *2014-02-25, version 1.6* This app has a solid foundation, 3 opacities, 4 shapes, and several color palettes. I love the random placement - it makes it quite natural. For 5 stars (and because it is a purchased app) I think it should have customizable color palettes, an opacity slider, a sizing tool, and an eraser to remove single bokeh dots. I am disappointed that the developers do not seem to be making any updates, however I still think it is worth .99 and does a better job than other apps where you draw your own bokeh. ### 3/5 — Ok *2014-01-21, version 1.6* Good app ### 2/5 — Ok *2013-11-20, version 1.6* I took a chance n got this bcuz 1. It was .99¢ n 2. Because I have an app called bokehflex that I love n thought they b similar. I was wrong. This app jus comes w different color palettes where u can put about 5 diff shapes on ur pics. That's it. Hopefully they will b an update in the near future with better features ### 3/5 — Mono color *2013-10-12, version 1.5* Please add mono color choice beside the multiple color! ### 2/5 — It's a Good Start. *2013-09-08* I'm very pleased with this app, and I hope to be able to provide a 5-star rating one day. Here's what it does well already: 1) you can adjust opacity in 3 grades 2) you can choose color palettes and adjust the gradient order 3) you can select four bokeh types 4) you can save in full resolution Here's what it needs to do: 1) I would prefer to adjust opacity with a slider for full control 2) I would insist on being able to create my own color palettes 3) I would like to be able to control the size of the bokeh effects 4) I would like an eraser tool so I am able to erase a single bokeh element from one of my swipes The foundation of this app is strong, which I hope is a reflection of things to come. I will be happy I spent 99 cents if the above items are addressed. Would even be willing to spend an extra buck for an app that provides all of the above and maybe a little more. ----- I left the above review when the app was released. The developer has not addressed any of the recommendations made by myself and numerous others. This is very disappointing, and has reduced my rating to 2 stars. Developers ought to listen to their paying customers. ### 4/5 — Decent *2013-08-17, version 1.5* It's a good app. I just wish there were more options other than stars and circles etc. it's easy to use ### 4/5 — Great app *2013-08-05, version 1.5* Love it- worth the money ### 4/5 — ☆4 *2013-07-11* ぼけふわふわスタンプが押せるので 凄く可愛いです(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) 写真が一気に華やかになります！ でも、思ったところにスタンプが 押せなかったりするので ☆4つー(Ｔ＿Ｔ) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 改善お願いします *2015-10-21* パレットが選択できなくて困ります‥ ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2015-01-25, version 1.6* It's not bad, but the only reason why I'm giving it 1 star is because it's not worth the money that they're charging for it. Personally, I think it should be free. If they added more functions to it, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. ### 1/5 — DONT BUY THIS APP *2014-07-30, version 1.6* Keeps crashing and the hearts/circles don't show up! DONT BUY IT ### 1/5 — What A Giant Waste! *2014-03-13, version 1.6* 2012 software in 2014. Developers never update. You can't control color. Limited styles. True waste of money. Nothing special AT ALL. ### 1/5 — Great *2013-07-30, version 1.5* Great app... Does a great job making pictures look kool! Worth paying ### 1/5 — If i was u *2013-03-22, version 1.5* If i was u i wouldnt get this i wasted my money on it ### 1/5 — Basic *2013-02-02, version 1.2* 69p for such a basic app ... nah Needs more opacity and positioning options. ### 1/5 — Just awful *2013-01-20, version 1.2* Honestly, I was really excited to get this app. But it really is a pain and isn't very user friendly. It doesn't make my pictures look nice at all and I find myself regretting even spending 99 cents on it. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2012-11-27, version 1.2* Too chocolatey ### 1/5 — Crashes on start-up *2012-11-04, version 1.2* 3gs, 4.2 iOs. This crashes on start-up for some reason. :/ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2015-02-18, version 1.6* This is a great app for adding customized bokeh to your photos. You can choose the colors & where to place the bokeh. Add a little or a lot. I love that it doesn't take your photos and shrink them to a smaller size. You can use the original size of your photos! Love this! Much better than the crappy free bokeh apps I've tried! ### 5/5 — Love it!!! 💛💙💜💗💚❤💘 *2014-04-11* Great app!! Definitely worth $.99!!! 👍👍 Excellent design beautiful interface. All I would ask for is more color options. But the ones available are awesome and you can tweak them to do what you want with no problem. You can change the opacity just click the little 🔆 button!! Also I must say I am so happy this app does NOT SHARE PICTURES. I am sick of apps that do, if you want that get Instagram. This is not that and that's the reason I love it!!! ### 5/5 — The best bokeh app 💖💋 *2014-03-23, version 1.6* Beautiful bokeh effects, very pretty i loveee so much! 👍💖 ### 5/5 — Super like *2014-01-27, version 1.6* I Finally found a bokeh app that is versatile I love everything about it but I feel like there needs minor improvements, with improvements it would be the BEST bokeh app. Overall, I really enjoy it!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2013-12-27, version 1.6* Awesome. I get compliments all the time on my pics with these effects' ### 5/5 — Truely a Bokehful App! *2013-11-07, version 1.6* Customize your own bokeh wherever you want. Beautiful colour and the image turns out just fascinating and beautiful. Worth the dollar! ### 5/5 — Очень Мило *2013-09-29* Сказочные блики:) ### 5/5 — Rate *2013-08-24, version 1.5* Awesome love this app!! 👏 ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2013-06-28, version 1.5* Simply amazing.
