It does not make anything vanish, and instead it makes it look as if you’ve just smudged the item. You can’t even do a free crop to try to crop things out of the picture. I am entirely disappointed with this app. ### 1/5 — Worthless for the insane price! *2021-12-17, version 1.5.7* For the price they want EACH MONTH, I will use photoshop or another photo editor app I already have. I will pay once for an app, but these clowns want your credit card number so they can charge you monthly, even if you don’t use it. Run from this never ending scam! ### 1/5 — Huge let down *2021-12-08, version 1.5.7* I’ve been curating my own presets on this app for months and built my entire IG feed theme based off of what I had created. Well as soon as I got a new phone and signed in on a new device, suddenly I was being asked to pay for the ones I made. After I paid, they all disappeared. Allll of my months of hard-work was gone. Not a single preset was still available. I’m disgusted and disappointed. Don’t let this app steal your hard preset work!! ### 1/5 — Vanish doesn’t work *2021-11-26, version 1.5.7* I bought this app strictly for the vanish feature doesn’t work at all. Really would like a refund. They show one swipe removal but doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Rip off! Don’t purchase! Buyer beware!! *2021-11-26, version 1.5.7* I accidentally purchased this app thinking it was something else and the immediately emailed the creators via the app asking for a refund. I have followed through with 3 request, still no response. Don’t waste your money on an app that has no customer support and offers a bad product ### 1/5 — Vanish Mode costs $$ and is atrocious *2021-11-24, version 1.5.7* The ads I was getting for this app enticed me to download it. I loved the idea of easily removing people or objects from the background of a photo. I downloaded the “free” app and then came to find out if you want to use vanish mode you have to pay a subscription but also it’s absolutely TERRIBLE. It makes me wish I had a Pixel because this feature comes naturally with photos and does an amazing job. Here it just scarily and weirdly lops out part of the background while not color matching and leaves weird blobs behind. Do not recommend. Especially not if you think you’re getting this feature. ### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD! *2021-11-14, version 1.5.6* ‼️‼️ DONT DOWNLOAD. when I downloaded this not even like 10 minutes later my Wifi was going slow. Then I go to my wifi settings and it says that someone is tracking my browser history. I logged into Facebook with this app and it said that this app was tracking it. When they are tracking your history they can get into important stuff. ‼️‼️ If you are getting a “privacy warning” on WiFi on your device, it means that your MAC address is not being masked and the network can see your device's address and track ### 1/5 — Classic trap *2021-11-08, version 1.5.6* They show you how cool it is and when you download it and verify your Facebook account they hit you with the cost. I deleted the app immediately. ### 1/5 — Don’t be fooled by the ad *2021-10-16, version 1.5.4* I saw the ad and with ONE zig zag motion, the background or extra person disappears! Well, IT DOESN'T WORK! All it does is “smudge” the color from the sky, wall, etc and START to erase. It’s no better than a bunch of other editors. It doesn’t erase as advertised. And it shouldn’t be allowed fo advertise that it does. I should have been suspicious when it required me to pay before using it. Hopefully this review will save someone else from getting RIPPED OFF by their false claims. Don’t waste your money on this. (I rarely write negative reviews but this one ticked me off) ### 1/5 — Waste *2021-10-16, version 1.5.4* This app is ridiculous! You have to pay to do anything, even BASIC things free everywhere else 👎 ### 1/5 — You have to pay for most of it *2021-10-12, version 1.5.4* Before the update you didn’t have to pay to use most filters but now you need a subscription if you want to apply the filters ### 1/5 — Fake *2021-10-11, version 1.5.4* The vanish filter is fake. They make it look so perfect on advertising that it eliminates unwanted objects but it’s not true as the shadows of the previous people are still left in the background . Want my return. ### 2/5 — Won’t work for me *2021-09-30, version 1.5.4* When I try the vanish, it doesn’t vanish anything at all. I’ll p,as with it some more, but I may delete the app. I paid for the yearly. I use my finger to highlight something I want out, but item stays despite trying several times. I’m using the new iPad Air 4. **Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear this! Can you please email us a screen recording so we can look further into this?

Thanking you in advance. ### 1/5 — Purchase without trial period? No thank you! *2021-09-29, version 1.5.4* I was charged for this app the moment I installed it to try it. I don’t want an app that gives the world access to my photos that I am editing. I can’t find any way to cancel my order and get a credit for my purchase. Send an email for help with this? I get a message that says they don’t have an email for me! ### 2/5 — Vanishing tool *2021-09-27, version 1.5.3* I’m having trouble with the vanishing tool. It doesn’t work as presented. Ii leaves a distorted picture in its place. ### 1/5 — Can’t use *2021-09-26, version 1.5.3* Can’t use app without logging in thru apple, google or facebook. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2022-01-29, version 1.5.7* This app says 1.99 but was charged $26. I want a refund on this crap. Apple need to remove them from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2022-01-27, version 1.5.7* I bought the full app hoping to be able to “vanish” items out of the picture like they do in the advertisement… it does not work like they present it. It is a blotch/blur, not “vanish”. Don’t waste your money. I would return for a refund. ### 1/5 — Scam! Don’t download it!! *2022-01-23, version 1.5.7* I downloaded this app and I authorized it to subscribe me to ONE month, instead it subscribed me to a FULL YEAR on its own. Now when I try to send them an email it won’t go through no matter what I do! I can’t contact them about it. They ripped me off for an app that has like 5 different filters your iPhone already offers! ### 1/5 — Clunky and doesn’t work half the time. *2022-01-22, version 1.5.7* I had high expectations from the adds but when I purchased it within 3?minutes I wished I hadn’t. Sorry to say, It’s super slow and clunky. It Wouldn’t load my photos half the time and kept crashing before I could save something. I really wanted to like this app but it’s not for me. I bought it 10 minutes ago and wish I could get my money back. They tell you you can unsubscribe any time, but you don’t get your money back ### 1/5 — LIES *2022-01-11, version 1.5.7* The whole flippin reason I downloaded this app was to remove unwanted objects from the backgrounds of my photos. So I downloaded just to be disappointed. The background eraser coated money and didn't even work that well. It blurred it more than it erased. Would NOT reccomend ### 1/5 — Can’t use it after 2 weeks *2022-01-08, version 1.5.7* App won’t upload any of my photos or videos. Says there’s a problem and to try again later. Don’t buy it! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-01-05, version 1.5.7* I don’t know what the rave is about this app. I went to use the erase feature and it isn’t clear as they indicate on the application. It looks like a wallpaper design and picks up the colors in the background that I’m trying to erase. There’s no feature of adding photos as they indicate. The background of the sky or the forest didn’t work for me. The filters aren’t any different than free apps I’ve already had on my phone. Very disappointed I think they’re totally false advertising this product. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-01-03, version 1.5.7* Just bought this on accident and I was going to keep thinking it would work and the vanish mode doesn’t work and the app crashes ! I need a refund back!!! ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2021-12-28, version 1.5.7* I only signed up for a one month charge and you charged me for a year. False charging!!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2021-12-27, version 1.5.7* Very misleading. It advertises it can do scenery changes, erase backgrounds and make pictures look professional grade. Not true; atleast not erase things without it messing up the picture. I wish I could have done a free trial for atleast one day before I had to buy it to find out it’s not worth even a download. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — More features without purchase *2022-02-23, version 1.5.8* Lots of filters with endless customization—including vanish. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-08-01, version 1.4.4* All the filters you could ever want!!! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2021-05-24, version 1.4.3* This app is the best thing I’ve ever downloaded especially the “discover filter” feature I can’t believe i used to spend money to buy ugly filters when these existed thank you ### 5/5 — very nice *2021-05-09, version 1.4.2* i just use this app for presets so i don't have to suffer to edit my photos in the photos app so it would be cool to see an option to adjust the brilliance ### 5/5 — OccupyTheRoom JimmyZurek *2021-02-17, version 1.3.3* Cool stuff here and I never right reviews however, I have the entire light tricks bundle for my brand which I’m just in the beginning stages however, I’ve been searching for cool stock video and visuals but this so far is the best fit me thanks! ### 5/5 — Super cool app for making presets *2021-01-14, version 1.3.1* Really simple for editing gorgeous pics ### 4/5 — Just got it like 10 minutes ago *2021-09-17, version 1.5.3* lol ### 4/5 — I love this app! *2021-01-01, version 1.3.1* I use this app to put a filter on all my art and sometimes photos, i have an idea for this app that could be cool, “filter albums” so you can put filters in certain places like you could have one album be all blue and another be all red, anyways thanks for making this app! **Developer response:** Thanks for this feedback!

Feature isn’t good. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
