Fab app

I love this app for great results and ease of use, but do think we need an update. I would pay again for an up-to-date version.

Bringing out the foreground from the background.

I have been using this app for quite a few years now I’m assuming some people would say I already have her black and white setting but there’s a difference and it’s really easy to use the three wheels gets a look at your rating for cursor many times the other picture app do you not let you easily give your black-and-white photo some depth without theirs the photos are simply flat.

Won’t Open

Freezes on startup on my iPad Pro.

Great App in need of Update to iOS 14

The simplicity of this interface and subtly of the results are what keep this app among my favorites. Since the iOS 14 it’s become a bit unreliable and bugy. Any plans for an update?
