What's New in Fore Photo

1.5

January 2, 2018

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. • iPhone X support! • Completely redesigned & retrained neural network for foreground/background computation. Should be far more accurate. • Moved from Caffe to CoreML. The app now runs faster, but new versions are limited to iOS 11. I'm working on a complete app redesign that expands the bokeh features and takes advantage of depth maps from dual-lens iPhones. Stay tuned throughout 2018!

Trash

It automatically does it, then allows you to “paint” afterward which is pointless. Looks terrible

Worst App

I can not pick the zone to focus

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work! Useless!
MMarymskoger

Used to be great

But lately it won’t save any of the blur and keeps overwriting changes.
R4Random person 415

Not the useful app it once was.

This app used to work like a dream. Doesn’t look like there’s been any updates in four years and it shows. Fine-tuning is nonexistent. Whatever you first get is what you’re pretty much stuck with. Hopefully the developer will get around to fixing this someday.
