CENSOR BAR (ANONYMIZER) for Apple iPhone and iPod touch is your condom when using social networks - no more photos without "protection"!

Several major studies have proven it: Your boss, your insurance company, your neighbours and everybody else browse every social network for information to be used against you.

Don't let any party-poopers make your digital life miserable: continue to take pictures of whoever and whatever you want, the way you want.

You set the limits, CENSOR BAR (ANONYMIZER) helps protect them.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2016-08-22*

I wouldn't even give it one star, I tried to download it cause I wanted to send some funny screenshots to my friends but I didn't want them to see my Facebook name cause I only know them off PSN. I tried to download it AND THIS WAS 5 or more DAYS ago. And it's still not downloaded. 😡😤

### 5/5 — Works

*2016-08-06*

Does what it says it does.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-06-03*

For those who are looking for multiple bars; take the censored photo and censor it again in some other place. A simple fix. I grateful for this ap.

### 5/5 — this appp

*2016-05-16*

got me raped by a shark in the dark with a nark with a clark

### 1/5 — Didn't work..

*2016-04-26*

When you put the black bar on the part you want to cover, then take the picture, the black bar jumps up and covers an inch above where you wanted it to.

### 1/5 — Another crap app

*2016-03-08*

Waste

### 1/5 — .69/1337- Pepe

*2015-09-28*

Not enough dank memes.

### 2/5 — Only one censor bar

*2015-06-25*

Simple app(good) with good potential. But you can only have one censor bar.

### 5/5 — TÂCHES

*2015-02-09*

Ok I love this app and use it everyday! I use this on my music pictures! And also my albums!!

### 2/5 — great potential, poor performance

*2013-09-16*

Good in its simplicity, but too basic. Black rectangle on screen, can move, resize and rotate (took awhile to work) but cannot change perspective of rectangle. All I want is a simple black or white bar and to control the width and length independently, maybe copy the bar, expand off screen, etc to partition my image - hope these basic features will be added soon.
