### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2022-05-09, version 1.5*

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

### 2/5 — Hi

### 2/5 — Fallas

*2021-02-27, version 1.5*

En esta última versión tiene muchos errores, no se puede modificar en modo manual, la aplicación prácticamente hace lo que quiere. No se puede seleccionar y mantenerlo. Antes funcionaba bien.

### 1/5 — O app parou de funcionar como antes

*2020-09-06, version 1.5*

Antigamente conseguia desfocar as fotos, atualmente o app parou de funcionar. Comprei a versão premium. Um absurdo!

### 1/5 — Something is wrong

*2020-08-10, version 1.5*

I used to love this app. Hadn’t used it in a while. Now it won’t hold edits. It’s completely useless.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work on iPhone 11

*2020-07-18, version 1.5*

I bought the paid version for the iPhone 8 and was working good. When I change to iPhone 11, stop working properly.

### 1/5 — Muito ruim

*2020-06-15, version 1.5*

O app era excelente e do nada parou de realizar o que era proposto o “Foco” não recomendo.

Çöp

### 1/5 — What’s changed?

*2020-03-15, version 1.5*

I’ve had this app a few years but recently it just isn’t working.
I use the tools to highlight the subject and blur the background but when I click finish, it goes back to the beginning with how it assumes I want it. 
I’ve tried deleting the app, reinstalling and updating but nothing is working. Trying to find a good alternative.

### 1/5 — Terrible

### 1/5 — Melhorar

*2020-02-09, version 1.5*

App parece ser bom mais quando vai fazer os ajustes fica horrível difícil querer ir para versão paga desse jeito

### 1/5 — MELHORAR ISSO AÍ!

*2020-01-27, version 1.5*

O App está horrível, não está desfocando corretamente e na opção de desfocar o
Fundo manualmente não tem como!
Eu usava esse app no iPhone 6s e era ótimo, até eu passar pro iPhone 7 e começar com essas palhaçada, esse App já foi um dos melhores.. indicava ele aos meus amigos, mas agr tá um lixo, sendo bem sincero. 

Melhorem isso.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Trash

*2022-12-06, version 1.5*

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

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2022-09-20, version 1.5*

I can not pick the zone to focus

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-05-18, version 1.5*

Doesn’t work! Useless!

### 1/5 — Not the useful app it once was.

*2022-01-06, version 1.5*

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-07-16, version 1.5*

The app doesn’t accurately make the background blurry. It mistakes part of the foreground for the background and part of the background for the foreground, but when I try to use the brush feature to adjust it never fixes it.

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2020-12-08, version 1.5*

Quando Salva a foto, fica tudo desfocado

### 1/5 — Abandonaron la app

*2020-11-20, version 1.5*

Ya no han actualizado, presenta muchos errores.

### 1/5 — Horrível

*2020-10-28, version 1.5*

Agora ele resolveu fazer a desfocagem do jeito dele! Eu tento mudar e apagar/mudar o foco/desfoco, clico em “Done” e ele simplesmente continua do mesmo jeito! Um absurdo!

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2020-10-13, version 1.5*

Fine tuning features don’t work at all now.

### 1/5 — Don’t pay the £1.99!!!!

*2020-09-20, version 1.5*

Paid the £1.99 to remove watermarks. Didn’t remove them. Tried to contact - Mail undeliverable!!!
Feel scammed. 
😔😡😬😔

### 5/5 — Pets

*2020-11-28, version 1.5*

It’s not as if the world needs another depth effect camera app.
But this is a good one.
You know what the world DOES need?
A camera app with a shutter sound that sounds like a cat. Or a squeaky toy. Or a dog barking.
Something to alert pets that the lens is over here, and I need your attention.
So many AI apps try to find the human face in the field of view, but animals are basically invisible.
You’ve built a great app. Now use that as a platform for an app. One that serious pet photographers would use, but that pet owners would enjoy!

### 5/5 — Tốt

*2020-02-07, version 1.5*

Sửa rồi lưu ảnh về kiểu gì ạ?

### 5/5 — Urge for an Update

*2019-10-24, version 1.5*

Please update the app to the latest iOS 13...

The last update was for one year ago which is so outdated...

And also please update so that the app can keep photos’ metadata.

I love how the app works and the results it produces. But above are the two important things that need to be reviewed.

Thank you so much devs!!

### 5/5 — Muito bom!

*2019-08-11, version 1.5*

Simple e fácil de usar e a auto -detecção por si só já faz um excelente trabalho!

### 5/5 — 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2019-05-03, version 1.5*

App bom demais! As fotos ficam show!

### 5/5 — Harika

*2019-03-22, version 1.5*

Uygulamanın yaptığı bokeh aynı fotoğraf makinesinin yaptığı gibi ancak biraz daha yakınlaştırma gerekli. Süper bir uygulama.

### 5/5 — Süper !!!

*2019-03-18, version 1.5*

Çok iyi , işini sağlam yapıyor

### 5/5 — Fore
