The 30 second limit for videos is the only problem for me, because I usually need the background of 1 and a half or 2 minute clips removed ### 4/5 — OOOOHHHH YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! *2025-09-12, version 4.3* This app is great but I would like it to have the background move with the video.😄 ### 4/5 — Good app and customer service *2025-06-22, version 4.2* I had been using this app for about a year. It’s very special in a way without having to remove background, using a green screen then replace with different background, this app allows me to change various background easily with few tabs. The library has reasonable options of backgrounds to change with. It’s very effective and worked well until it got broken recently. So I emailed their customer service . I am Thrilled with their service and support team because they were responsive and red responsible in fixing the app, restore my lifetime membership and helping to give me a refund of double payment. I highly recommend buying this app if you are looking for an easily way to replace your video backgrounds. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2024-12-24, version 4.1.5* I was looking for a video editing app, finally found this one which is super easy to use and hassle free! ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2024-10-05, version 4.1.1* When I take a video it tells me that I can only record for 15 seconds that is fraud you should let others take videos as long as we want so you need to fix this app I can’t believe you guys ### 1/5 — Got Charged *2024-09-30, version 4.1.0* I did the trial and canceled the same day and was still charged $5.99 Apple wouldn’t refund this purchase. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-09-04, version 4.1.0* I chose a background and when I try to upload the video it keeps saying error. Complete waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2024-09-04, version 4.1.0* I tried a few options adding background to my video, I always had an error after 2 min of waiting ### 1/5 — Audio of vedio is not working after changing the background *2024-08-03* I have purchased 1 week subscription but after purchasing the subscription the background changes successfully but the audio of my vedio is not working. The vedio is playing without audio. **Developer response:** Hi mahvish! Hopefully you will be fine. Is your problem resolved? Because it was not issue from our side. May be you have your speaker button off or some issue like that. Please update us on the issue. And review your feedback. We are here for your help and service. Regards ### 4/5 — AR landscapemode on iPhone XR still not working *2024-06-23, version 3.7* The templates in AR landscape mode are useless for now they are still showing grey background . Please fix it in iPhone XR .IPhone XR is not iPhone X .Starting from the template showing the outside of the stadium all the backgrounds are not visible . I only use landscape most of the time for my channel of advertising agency. Please give it the pixels it deserves and don’t play with it . I don’t have heat issues and if I do it’s because I am using many apps. I have different apple devices to overcome these problems. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake *2025-08-01, version 4.2* Trash ### 1/5 — ها🫵🏻 *2025-07-19, version 4.2* يعععع يع تطبيقكم مره زق حتى الزق يقول هذا ازق مني، خير؟! لازم ندفع ١٧٩ ريال عشان تطبيقكم الخايس، والله لا افك قلبكم🫀 انتم جن تعبانين ولا ايش، كلوا تبن وانقلعوا فأنا مسحت تطبيقكم عشان هذا الشي وبس خلاص بأنقلع الحين وبروح اسبح، ### 1/5 — I paid but I hated the app *2025-06-03, version 4.2* The worst app ever, they don’t give anything and they ask for money ### 1/5 — stopped working after I purchased lifetime plan *2025-02-24, version 4.1.7* I purchased the lifetime plan now the app doesn’t work at all . Every time I get a picture from my gallery it gives me an error 100% of the time. Even at 5G all the bars I continue to get the same error. I really get the feeling I’m being scammed. Now I have to find another background changer app and I lost the money that I used to purchase the ridiculous plan on this ridiculous useless app. Unfortunately there is not a 0 rating. User beware ### 1/5 — Worse *2025-02-02, version 4.1.6* Worse Not good for professional. Editing , please I need my £4.99 refund ### 1/5 — the original background remover aspect doesn't work *2025-01-21, version 4.1.6* I think it might work if a user could set the threshold, but it erased both black (my content) and white (my background) ### 1/5 — Extremely Disappointed *2024-12-18, version 4.1.4* I purchased this based on its own marketing hype. You can only use it in portrait mode. It squeezes the background to an unrecognizable mess if it from your gallery. I purchased this to finish a marketing project on my phone. This has turned out to be a colossal waste of money and time. I recommend purchasing from vendors who will let you try it out first or at least those that have free version. At least you will be able to see if it actually works and is usable. ### 1/5 — Not great… *2024-11-01, version 4.1.3* The app only lets you use it 3 times a day and shrinks your video so that you can barely see it. Also,I can’t add one of my photos as the background,only the options they are very little unless you purchase pro. Overall,not to be rude but I wouldn’t recommend. Sorry! ### 1/5 — Terrible - do not buy *2024-10-31, version 4.1.2* Spent £39.99 to find out it simply does not work. Keep scrolling. ### 1/5 — REFUND PLEASE *2024-10-27, version 4.1.2* APP DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT ALL. PLEASE REFUND ME MY MONEY ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-31* Experience is amazing ### 5/5 — Mere papa *2026-07-27, version 4.7.0* Great ### 5/5 — Mr *2026-06-17, version 4.7.0* Ishu ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-20, version 4.7.0* Great results using this application. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-08, version 4.7.0* Helped me creating background for my video ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-10-04* This app is awesome, been using it to change video backgrounds and it works like a charm.
