User reviews

Great app for privacy!

This app is just exceedingly well-made, and is really a gold standard of what little utility apps like this should be like. The interface is super easy to parts and understand, and changing the default emoji or adjusting the settings is breezy and obvious. I wish all apps were this simple and elegant.

Good but flawed

Good app and quite cheap. Does its job well - sometimes: if the faces are too small, the automatically added emojis are incredibly tiny which makes it - literally - impossible to select them.

Suggestions:
- allow to zoom in
- rotate image with iphone orientation (to make the image larger)
- have an option to NOT automatically add emojis
- maybe have a button tocycle through the emojis

EDIT:
Reduced to 1 star as I noticed that the app reduces the image size / quality significantly.

Would be nice if there was an actual mask emoji?

don't buy this nonsense. he'll abandon it in a few months like he did his last two apps. his real money comes from begging on his podcast. and he spends that money on hardware he doesn't need so he can beg for more money. simplissly the worst.

edit: he hasn't updated this app since he released his new one. what happened to the logging to catch those squiggly bugs or whatever baby nonsense you're saying?

edit edit: finally an update, TWO YEARS LATER. and apparently the dev was putting watermark on paid photos? lol

FAQ

What does MaskerAid do?

MaskerAid allows you to quickly and easily add emoji to your photos. It can automatically detect faces in an image and obscure them with an emoji. Additionally, it removes all metadata from images before they are shared, protecting your privacy.

How do I add emoji to my photos with MaskerAid?

When you load an image into MaskerAid, it will automatically detect faces and offer to obscure them with emoji. You can then use intuitive gestures to move, resize, and rotate the emoji to perfectly position them over faces or objects.

Is MaskerAid free to use?

The core functionality of MaskerAid, including automatic face detection and basic emoji addition, is free. However, to access thousands of different emoji options, a one-time in-app purchase is required.

What kind of privacy features does MaskerAid offer?

MaskerAid prioritizes your privacy by automatically removing all metadata from images before you share them. This includes information like the location where the photo was taken and the device used to capture it.

Can I use MaskerAid to hide specific objects, not just faces?

Yes, while the app excels at automatically detecting and obscuring faces, you can also manually add and position emoji over any object in your photo using the intuitive gesture controls.
