### 5/5 — とっても便利

*2025-11-11*

いつも使用させて頂きありがとうございます。
とても便利なアプリです。
ひとつだけ要望なのですが、画面をなぞるのではなく、タップしただけでボカシを入れられる機能を追加できませんか？
大勢の人の顔をボカす際、一人一人なぞるのは時間がかかるのです。

簡単に顔を隠せるのは素晴らしいです。スマホでのモザイクかけは、タッチ範囲がコントロールしにくくて苦労していました。これは自動なのでホント楽。ありがとうございます。

ぜひ追加で、数字を隠す機能もつけてくれると住所とかナンバープレートとかシリアルナンバーにも使えて何かと助かるのですが、、、
