User Reviews

Users praise the app for strong blur quality and ease of use for quick edits, especially for portraits. However, frequent complaints center on monetization (subscription costs and charges), intrusive ads and watermarks, and gating of pro features that sometimes can’t be saved or restored. Reliability issues like crashes or startup problems after subscribing are common, along with UX frustrations such as a non-intuitive slider, oversized blur circle, and no zoom. Overall, it works well when it runs, but pricing and reliability are major drawbacks.

Pros

Excellent blur effects with strong tool control
Very useful for portrait photography by blurring backgrounds
Easy and quick to use for fast blur edits
General positive feedback on ease of use and results

Cons

High subscription cost and frequent charges / unclear pricing
Ad-heavy experience with pop-ups and watermarks on outputs
Pro features sometimes cannot be saved/exported or restoring purchases doesn work
App stability issues including crashes or failing to launch after re-subscribing
Usability limitations such as a large circle blur, limited slider control, and lack of zoom for precise edits

I use this app a lot and it makes my photos look amazing. Only some complaints 1. I wish I the slider bar was more like the old one and wasn’t a setting type, makes it a little annoying when their either too much or too little blur 2. The only thing I wish was added was a Spin blur/ circular motion/ radial touch blur given what I do. 3. When making little edits it will randomly blur everything( very annoying) 4. I can’t zoom in on my photos as much anymore, which can make small edits extremely difficult to do Great App still definitely worth the purchasing

I used to love this app and have supported it for many years. I have had a subscription for a long time and still do. So they revamped it and it’s very nice, but if I use any of the pro features, it will not allow me to save any of the photos to my library. All I get is the screen to subscribe and to start a free trial. I tried “restore purchase” and it did not work. Wrote them, no response.
