### 1/5 — Dreck

*2021-01-24, version 1.0*

Keine Funktion ist absoluter Betrug

### 1/5 — It’s rubbish

*2020-11-25, version 1.0*

Seriously rubbish

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2020-10-23*

I have been using this app for years and just realized it has no worthy reviews.  Works great, pay once and enjoy it for life... no ads, either. Glad it works on my iPhone 12 too... highly recommend.

### 1/5 — The worst app I‘ve seen on iOS

*2019-12-07, version 1.0*

Crashes frequently, shrinks the image size, completely useless! Do not buy this!

### 1/5 — Purchased less than 5 minutes ago-USELESS

*2018-08-11*

Purchased this app less than 5 minutes ago. Completely useless. I want my dollar back. Piece of junk. Can’t zoom it on pix to get crop just right. Useless and frustrating.

### 1/5 — Crops image when you save!

*2017-04-30, version 1.0*

Not very good as it crops image when you save.

### 1/5 — No

*2017-04-15*

On my completed image, I don't want to see the red box with handles on my house address, I just want the numbers to be blurred. 

Also, being able to zoom in on the image to get in close up - rather than trying to zoom the little box down to nothing, which is nearly impossible. 

Enjoy my .99 cents.

### 1/5 — Missing key features

*2016-05-11*

No way to abandon changes and exit the program. No way to undo a crop. No way to save an edited picture to the camera roll.

### 4/5 — Very good!

*2016-04-26*

This app does almost everything just wanted.  It does it well and easily, for the most part.  The only two things I take issue with are having to tap a camera icon to access my photo library, which isn't too intuitive, and not being able to change an existing redaction, from black to blur, for example.

### 3/5 — Almost there

*2015-05-26*

Attracted to this because it appeared to offer sensible redaction techniques. Redaction should not be reversible in the hands of a viewer and this app seemed to offer that. Unfortunately it only accesses images from the camera roll or screenshot. What I need is to access PDFs from DropBox, redact and output to Wordpress as PNG. This app doesn't do that and that's where I left it.
