### 2/5 — bro.

*2025-09-01, version 4.1.1*

first off the app didn’t even cut out my simple logo properly. i then spent 30 minutes manually cutting it out before pressing “Next” just to realise i had to pay to download it 😭💔

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-05-28, version 4.1.1*

The trial version is lousy. Why should someone purchase something when you can’t view your product?

### 1/5 — Website better

*2024-11-10, version 4.1.1*

I have been using the website photoscissors.com for a while whenever I needed remove the background from an image. I knew there was an app but didn’t think I used the site enough to warrant downloading it. Yesterday I decided to do it, and I uninstalled in less than 15 minutes. You CAN’T save an image unless you pay their subscription fee. You are better off using their website, it will be saved in poor quality but it’s better than not saving it at all.

### 5/5 — Needed champagne spray

*2024-03-17, version 4.0.1*

It literally let me take a champagne spray from one image and transfer it to an image that needed one, looks incredible ! Works like a charm !

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2022-11-27, version 4.0*

So you get ten “free” cutouts… but then it turns out you can’t actually *save* the image you cut out unless you pay. Why? Because it’s 2022 and everyone wants money for literally everything. Hard pass on this one, it’s easy enough to find sites that offer this same tool for free. All these money-grubbing, false-advertising apps are a plague.

### 1/5 — $$$

*2022-11-05, version 4.0*

This app charges a ton of money for the pics you want to edit after you do multiple. The quality is very good but not worth the price in my opinion when you can get other apps or an online website to do this for free.

### 1/5 — This is a scam

*2022-10-18, version 3.1*

Says “free” but it’s NOT

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work very well

*2022-05-09, version 3.1*

Bought the most credits we could for our small business. Then Covid hit. Closed our restaurants for nearly a year. When we reopened the credits were no longer valid and we had only used a few out of thousands. Contacted the app and they said “we understand your predicament but we are a business and we need to make money”. 

Cold hearted.

### 1/5 — This is just a way for them to take your money

*2022-01-27, version 3.1*

Trust me there is no reason to get the app for this just use the browser, I have been making videos for a long time and I never had any money problems. It is a total waste of money getting the trial or vying credits.

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2021-10-15, version 3.1*

You have to pay to even save an image, so it’s pretty much useless. Use the website instead.
