### 1/5 — Nicht das was man sucht

*2020-11-05*

Wer eine App sucht die die Notch in Anwendungen entfernt ist hier falsch. Nur ein Wallpaper, dafür Geld zu verlangen ist schon etwas komisch.

### 1/5 — Nur das Hintergrundbild wird bearbeitet

*2020-10-29*

Die App funktioniert nicht, da nur die Bilder bearbeiten werden. Während man Apps verwendet, hat diese App keine Funktion. Wenn man im Internet surft, ist die Noche klar zu sehen. Das Geld ist rausgeworfen, da man Hintergrund Bilder auch selber mit einem schwarzen Balken versehen kann. Völlig sinnlos und Abzocke.

### 1/5 — It’s a photo editor

*2020-07-13*

It removes the notch on a photo you can set as a wallpaper only. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2020-05-27, version 2.0.1*

This is a wallpaper editor.  Nothing more.  As soon as you open any app the Notch is back.

### 1/5 — Utterly rubbish

*2019-12-27*

All it does is create a wallpaper with a black band - it does NOT remove the notch. 

The notch is still there in apps, and it doesn’t save any effort doing it yourself in a desktop imaging app. And obviously, if you liked animated wallpaper it’s not compatible with that at all.  

The developer has a cheek asking for .99 and is probably raking it in. 

They can take a hike -  99p is 98p too much

### 1/5 — これで有料はない

*2019-11-19*

各種アプリを使用する際など常時黒く塗りつぶされるのかと思いきや、壁紙だけ…。
こんなんなら壁紙にする写真の上を黒く塗りつぶせばいいだけじゃん…。
買う前にしっかり確認すればよかった。

### 1/5 — Only removes notch on wallpaper

*2019-11-02*

Shame on me for not fully reading the reviews and descriptions. The notch remains on everything but the home screen and wallpaper 🤦🏼‍♀️ Wish I could have my 99 cents back 🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — Not working.  It just a wall paper?

*2019-10-26, version 2.0.1*

It is not working.  I don’t like it just a photo cutter.

### 1/5 — Не работает !!!

*2019-08-09*

Приложение на XR не работает!!!

### 1/5 — Not even usable for the wallpaper feature if you use perspective.

*2019-05-02*

I guess I should have read the description more closely, but I got the impression that this would put a black bar over every app. I can’t even use this for my wallpaper because I want to use perspective mode on my images.

### 1/5 — Surely this is fraud

*2019-04-17*

Want my money back .

### 1/5 — Говноприложуха

*2019-03-21, version 2.0.1*

Глвно редкое на 10R не оаботает зайдите в фотошоп и проделайте тоже самое руками :)

### 1/5 — Nicht intuitiv

*2019-03-10*

Nachdem mich die Art und Weise wie es dargestellt wird Ausgewählt habe danach ein Bild meiner Wahl 
(hätte mir gewünscht das das aktuelle Bild was ich eh schon drinne habe weiterhin genutzt wird so muss ich es aus meinen 1000 en Bildern wieder raussuchen)

Danach passiert erst mal gar nichts
Hab ein Bild gewählt und alles ist wie vorher🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Hmm... Not quite

*2019-02-22*

Guys, it's really a wallpaper overlay app. Doesn't exactly remove the notch across iOS.

### 1/5 — Refund!!!

*2019-02-01*

Refund please this only hides the notch on wallpaper and then the not h returns

### 1/5 — Ne rabotaet

*2019-01-17*

Х.. эта на iPhone XR не работает. Деньги списали.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2023-06-13*

App didn’t removed the widgets as mentioned and just edit wallpapers. Need refund as app is useless and didn’t work as mentioned.

### 1/5 — Sakın almayın!

*2023-01-23, version 2.0.1*

Ekran çentiği kapatma yazdığınızda karşınıza bu saçma sapan uygulama çıkıyor. Ama aradığınız ile uzaktan yakından alakası yok. Hiç bir işe yaramıyor. Üstelik paranız boşa gidiyor. Apple gibi bir firmanın bunun gibi saçma sapan uygulamayı neden listesine aldığı da bilinmiyor.

### 1/5 — Dinheiro perdido

*2020-11-26, version 2.0.1*

### 1/5 — $1 for a crappy wallpaper edit

*2020-11-15*

I Accidentally bought this app and then found out that it doesn't actually fix the notch problem, So I’ll be taking my dollar back.

### 5/5 — So good

*2019-05-30, version 2.0.1*

This app is so good

### 5/5 — Хороший та зручний додаток!

*2019-03-07, version 2.0.1*

Рекомендую! Варто купляти!

### 5/5 — Cumple lo que dice

*2018-11-11*

Buscaba una app para oscurecer los fondos a negro en la parte de arriba y así dejar de ver el notch en la pantalla de inicio y bloqueo. Y esta es muy sencilla de usar y cumple.

### 5/5 — Simple, perfect

*2018-11-09*

This app does precisely what it’s supposed to. Allows you to format a background image with a black bar at the top to effectively “hide” the notch when viewing the lock screen or home screen. It doesn’t remove the notch in-app. It doesn’t claim to. It can’t possibly do that. But what it does, it does well. I especially like the option of the few different styles of black bar it offers, including square, rounded, and fade (fade is my favorite).

### 5/5 — great app

*2018-10-06*

my iphone xs max gets here in the mail next week and i bought the app to see how it is even knowing im on an 8 plus and it seems legit. my sister also has the xs and i tried it on her phone and it looks amazing.😍

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-04-27, version 2.0*

A++

### 5/5 — まずまずかな。

*2018-02-21*

元の画像からうまく切り取りができない。
更新しなきゃダメだよ。

### 5/5 — Does as advertised

*2017-12-27*

Really enjoy the Fade effect.
