*2019-05-18, version 1.5*

Horrible app. Do not waste your money!! It shows me a black screen says to pick part that needs fixed and continues through process to show me black screen. At the end when it compares you guessed it two black screens to compare. I have 1 star because it made me.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2019-03-28, version 1.5*

Absolutely terrible, I spent the $3.99 and am going to delete it anyways that’s how bad it is. Photo was just a tad blurry and the window to correct it was so small and I was unable to zoom out or resize the correction box. Worst app ever. I’d give it 0 stars if I could

### 1/5 — Not for pictures of people - do not buy

*2019-01-23, version 1.5*

This was purchased to put a slightly blurred picture in focus. There was nothing obstructing the face and the picture was not badly blurred. This app is completely ineffective. Not able to put a person in focus without dramatic distortion making the picture look worse. Apple should test apps before allowing descriptions to be published to insure they are a true representation of the product for purchase.
