### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-04-24, version 6.1*

After blurring a video had a scam add show up saying my account has been hacked beware

### 5/5 — Nice but it doesn’t have trim

*2025-12-21, version 6.1*

4/5

### 5/5 — Only app youll need

*2025-10-09*

For blurring video this super user friendly and no annoying ads. It has ads but just the right amount.

### 3/5 — Works, Most of The Time

*2025-09-15*

This app is really helpful for some of the videos I edit that need faces blurred. However, it will crash in the middle of an edit or I’ll get the edit done and it will fail to save. Sometimes I spend quite a bit of time editing one video. There is no way to save your project so when these happen I have to start all over and that can very discouraging.

### 2/5 — CRASHCRASHCRASH!!!

*2025-07-21, version 6.1*

This darned thing keeps crashing on me over and over. It happened to me twice today, and I lost 4 hours trying to blur a face that appears in about one third of an 8 minute video. If this is the best there is out there, then don’t even bother trying.

### 1/5 — Unmitigated Time-waster

*2025-06-15*

(Take a gander at all of the five star reviews for this app... you just might notice a trend. Just sayin'.)

 I know a ton of work goes into these apps, and that the majority of apps fail for one reason or the other. However, I rarely feel compelled to write a negative review. I limit those to apps that have essentially failed to achieve some basic functional standards. This app is replete with these kinds of deficiencies, including the ability to save mid-edit, basic save-as functions, ability to select from all available file/video locations including the Hidden Album—an album that may contain media where blurring is especially desired by virtue of the fact that they are stored in a hidden location, dependable app stability, clear pathways to support when needed, the ability to save projects at any point in the editing process, and finally the ability to save projects at any point in the editing process. Oh! Did I mention the ability to save projects at any point in the editing process? (You get the point.) The culmination of these and other issues with this Half-baked Slop-cake©️, it wastes users' time. And I mean a LOT of users' time. Time equals money. Forgive my cynicism, but it almost seems like this app was deliberately designed to be as obtuse as possible in order to garner more minute$ that the endless ads are in front of users' frustrated faces. Hard to say, plus, I know absolutely nothing about his these things work. What I DO know is that this app doesn't work. 

Aaaaaaand DELETE!

### 3/5 — Random Crashes, No way to save progress

*2025-06-06*

if you have a shorter video you need to blur, it works great, if you have a longer video you need to blur. say a quick prayer and hope you can finish before it randomly crashes and there’s no way to save your progress so you have to start over. wasted hours trying to edit a 10 min video

### 3/5 — Sonofafargin’…!!!

*2025-05-17*

I was about four minutes into blurring a five and a half minute video and the darned app crashed on me and I lost everything I had just spent the last hour and a half doing! I am displeased to say the least. 🤨

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-04-26, version 5.9*

I have used this app for years , it’s simple and it works . I wonder if there are any other apps they have.

### 3/5 — Works, Most of The Time
