Perhaps it’s just confusing to find the way to get the background actually get removed on this app, because other apps were more clear and straightforward… but they always ask for money, unfortunately. There are websites where it’s easy to use, and for free. So I'm still looking for an app like this. That does both: easy to make backgrounds removed (without making it white, either), and for no finance involved, either. ### 4/5 — Does the job well *2025-03-30* Does the Job well, However, it takes photos from gallery only. ### 4/5 — Excellent *2024-11-03* I have this also for iPhone…5 stars!!! I gave MAC version 4 stars…oney because I’m a little slower into the curve with it…my issue I’m sure…not the app…the iPhone app was actually 6 stars…than k you. ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2024-10-22* GRATEFUL FOR AN APP THAT I CAN USE FREE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AS IT SHOULD THANK YOU ### 5/5 — Love Free!! *2024-10-22* I love that is free. No one week free but free!! Has a few glitches but gets the job done! Please developers keep this app! I’m forever grateful!! ### 5/5 — Easy, free and simply amazing! *2024-10-15* I love this app! Very easy to use and truly makes the pictures come alive without unwanted extras… fantastic photos- you gotta try it! ### 5/5 — Good app *2024-09-02* I’ve tested this app and it’s free for everyone to used and it’s better than the other paying apps ### 5/5 — This is a fantastic app. *2024-08-13* This is what i was looking for a good app that not only removed the background but allowed me to change colors. ### 5/5 — Love *2024-08-02, version 3.7.2* This app is amazing I love it!! ### 5/5 — Lovely *2024-06-23* 🤩🤩🤩🤩 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Janky *2026-06-09, version 1.0* This has to be the worst designed app I have ever downloaded from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-05-07* No instructions, icons unclear. Removed background but made it black. Seemed to offer color options, but clicking the colors did not change the background. Again, no instruction or direction whatsoever. Could not find a way to save (even with the wrong background). Export led to a tangle of useless and confusing options. When you call your app “Remove Background” I would expect it to do that one thing without an extended session of infuriating futility. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-11-25* Complete water of time! ### 1/5 — Dont do it *2025-11-17* How this was approved for app store, dissapointing apple ### 1/5 — Rip off now. *2025-07-16* Already pay a monthly fee of over $8. However anything that actually makes your photos look awesome including the removal of background costs $80 per year all payable up front despite the fact Im already paying monthly fee. It says there is free BG remover however, the picture ends up so low quality its unusable. Used to really like these guys. Canceling subscription. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-06-03* Like another reviewer described, you can only select photos/videos from your Library. Also, I couldn’t get the window to resize: the mouse cursor changes to a strange arrow glyph when you reach an edge or corner, but click-dragging does nothing, making the entire application completely unusable. ### 1/5 — Not functional *2025-04-03* If you’re looking for an actual functional app that removes background this isn’t the app for you. It’s just bland and it’s not put together at all. In essence don’t waste your time! ### 1/5 — Manual eraser only *2025-03-22* App doesn't automatically remove background. You only have the ability to manually remove it w/ an eraser (though you can adjust the thickness). This app would probably only be useful for fine tuning edits you've already done elsewhere w/ an automatic background removed tool/app. Didn't really meet expectations as this is more ERASER TOOL than bkgnd remover. ### 1/5 — only black background ?round *2025-01-26* Can’t get it to do anything to colour a new background ### 1/5 — Not Helpful *2025-01-24* It’s a Mac app pretending to be an iOS app! You can’t select a photo from a folder! It only allows photos taken with the webcam or directly from the Photos app. This is incredibly useless, so don’t waste your time on it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-16* Thank you love this app ### 5/5 — Amazing App!!!! *2026-01-17* My advice to you is to try it ### 5/5 — Great so far! *2025-09-24* I just started using this app and it is so easy to use.

I’m a painter drawer, and it’s great!!! ### 5/5 — Hey *2024-11-22* Just started using this app… I’m delighted. It’s free and it has removed the background better than some apps I have paid for in the past. Very clean lines. Simple and intuitive. I’m impressed and look forward to using it :) Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-11-19, version 3.7.4* I just couldn’t find a simple free background remover and I finally found this app and its just perfect thanks a lot --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
