Most of them fail with the message that there was a network error and couldn’t get mask (my network connectivity is not a problem here) and many of the others leave a big splotch as if I erased that section. The couple that did work were impressive but for me this app didn’t work enough to declare success or useful. There is no scenario where I would take photos from the app, everything would be from my photo library. I’ll keep trying especially as any updates come in (I have the latest version) but seems not quite ready for use. ### 2/5 — Live only *2019-08-11, version 2.0.1* I’m wondering why the app cannot read and act in pictures already saved in the iPhone. ### 1/5 — Do not buy!!! *2019-07-26, version 2.0.1* Does not work. Blues the picture and ruins the whole thing. Not worth the money. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2019-07-23, version 2.0.1* Need a refund ### 1/5 — Not worth the money at all! *2019-07-21* Extremely glitchy, often times will zoom in and crop a photo without you wanting it to and it doesn’t actually save the photos afterwards. It would be nice if you could select only background people to be cropped out instead of the main person in the photo. Not worth $3 at all! ### 1/5 — Want my money back *2019-07-20, version 2.0.0* Garbage , does not do what it says it does ### 2/5 — Crash *2019-07-19* Couldn't make single one photo. Always crash and telling that there is new update. Which is no ### 1/5 — bye bye *2019-07-18* Выброшенные на ветер деньги. Не рекомендую. ### 1/5 — Piece of junk!!! *2019-07-16, version 2.0.0* After reading the article on DPReview, I gave it a try. It was the worse $3 app that I’ve purchased. BTW, I can’t even update to the latest release... ### 2/5 — Bye Bye Won’t Update *2019-07-16* When trying to use, it says update available, please update... then goes to App Store when you click update. THERE IS NO UPDATE LINK! When you choose “open”, the App will actually work, but won’t update without constantly telling you to update and bringing you to the App Store. Tried deleting and reinstalling, but that didn’t work. HOW DO YOU UPDATE THIS APP? 😡 ### 1/5 — Why is this app on sale? *2019-07-14, version 2.0.0* A lot of bugs, every time I try to use the app it says i need an update, have tried to update but nothing available, I waste $3 on this garbage. Not letting me upload pictures no nothing 🤦🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — KM *2019-07-13, version 2.0.0* Trash ### 1/5 — Total waste of money! *2019-07-09, version 2.0.0* How was this POC approved? I don’t care for companies or people who develop horrible products! ### 1/5 — Refuses to launch *2019-07-07, version 2.0.0* The app keeps demanding that I install an update which apparently doesn't exist. ### 1/5 — Bac195645 *2019-07-06, version 2.0.0* I bought this and it was a waste of my money to it does not even work. I took a picture of myself and it said there was no humans detected so I guess I’m not a human. They should take this off of the App Store it’s a waste of time and money. ### 3/5 — Crashes on library photo *2019-07-06, version 2.0.0* I have an iPad Pro. Down loaded July 5 2019. When I bring up the app, I get a message to update app, takes me to the download site, but does nothing. When I download from my library, the app accepts it, but crashes when it tries to find humans Update. Still getting messages to update, but works well with photos in the library on my IPhone 10s max. Upgraded to 3 stars ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor performance *2021-07-26* Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — La peor basura pagada *2021-02-08, version 2.0.2* No sirve para nada Con ninguna foto funciona todas sale error intente después ### 1/5 — 0 stars *2020-10-05, version 2.0.2* do not buy!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Total joke *2020-08-16* It doesn’t remove humans. The only time it actually worked when I stood 2 feet away from the mirror and took my own picture. Then after 35 seconds of processing I was removed from the picture but it was blurry. It doesn’t work outside. What a joke. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2020-05-26, version 2.0.1* it does not work do not waste your money, not worth it at all ### 1/5 — Really bad app *2020-04-24, version 2.0.1* Don’t work ### 1/5 — LA PEOR APLICACION QUE EXISTE *2020-04-13, version 2.0.1* Es un desastre total no tiene opciones para nada simplemente pones la foto y elimina toda persona humana que salga en ella y de paso todo mal no sirve! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-09-18* Got ripped off by these guys. There is no support. You can’t get any help. Website doesn’t exist. The app detects people and then does nothing. APPLE, why are you sellers by a shoddy product with absolutely no way to reach developer? ### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE! *2019-08-29* Oh my god! WORST app ever! Pointless as is doesn’t do what it claims to do. When it actually detects a human it leaves a smudged ghost like picture behind. I tried it on simple backgrounds and very busy backgrounds- same result. Save your money. Download photoshop... their apps are FREE. And they work... unlike this terrible app that shouldn’t even be available for purchase. Apple- you should remove this app now!! ### 1/5 — Не работает *2019-07-29* Ошибка сервера постоянно ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really fun *2023-10-16* Clear purpose. Great to use. Fun. ### 5/5 — App *2019-12-25, version 2.0.1* This app is nice. ### 5/5 — Haters just don't get it *2019-07-18* LOL It's great fun. For someone looking for a serious tool, this is probably going to be super frustrating, but anyone who can appreciate a quick to the punch art project that executes on a concept subverting typical photo apps will love it. I do! Stoked on the update for processing other images in my camera roll. ### 5/5 — Cool and fun *2019-07-09, version 2.0.0* Something new and interesting, its fun more than anything. Kids also have a LOT of fun with it. ### 5/5 — With update, it works *2019-07-04* It really works. I’m glad I bought it. Random people in my photos are now quickly zapped. I was disappointed at when I first got the app because it didn’t work. I guess there was a bug. With an update, it works. **Developer response:** Please update the app. There was a small bug and now everything is working. You can upload any picture from your camera roll or snap a new one. Have fun using Bye Bye Camera. ### 5/5 — Bye Bye Saved My Marriage *2019-07-03* I hate looking at my wife. She hates looking at me. Now with the Bye Bye Camera App, we can finally take photos of each other. I framed one yesterday. My wife looks great and completely invisible. Thanks, Bye Bye Camera App! ### 5/5 — The only camera humanity needs. *2019-07-02, version 2.0.0* THE! solution to vanity ### 5/5 — Pretty fun *2019-06-29, version 1.1.0* This is an art project not some serious photo app. So considering that it’s indeed pretty fun and strangely weird :) ### 5/5 — Crazy creative app *2019-06-27, version 1.0* I love it!!! It’s cutting edge and super innovative. Now I can get rid of my annoying neighbor! ### 5/5 — Less is more *2019-06-26* I love this App! Nowadays overfludded with images all sorts it makes a point! What is important these days in life?! I think it’s super funny, smart and genius! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
