5/5Was great but now disappointing
When I first purchased the full version it was great on photos and good for videos. Now it keeps crashing and imported video shows as black screen and won’t work. when it does work it sometimes saves video and replays it very choppy. Very disappointing! I do like the app and wish the developers would listen to the complaints and fix. It’s a great app when it works. I wish also when moving the blur,... you could be able to pause the video,... then move the blur to follow the object in motion instead of trying to quickly follow it once you press the red manual move button. Please fix!!! This was my go to app! Thanks!!

2/5Disappointing
Why make a free app when the free version makes your video come out worse than before, I wanted this because I needed to blur out a few things in a video. The blur only last 30 seconds with the free version and lowers the resolution of the video. I really expected more and this app is also really buggy and crashes a lot. It does it’s job well but does not satisfy me (not that 1 review matters). It also adds its own watermark on a blur app and that kind of defeats the purpose of “blurring out watermarks” if you add your own. Good app but I’m going to look for a better app than this. Best regards, Customer

2/5very buggy, is a mess
I purchased the full version, and the UI is ridiculously bad. i will say the output video is good, but it’s a bit slow to create, even on a new iPhone 13 Pro. would be nice if the developer would add the ability to interface with the share sheets, so the app is an option when sharing from other apps. my biggest peeve is after saving, it has no indicator that it was saved. The screen never changes. they clearly never read apple’s Human interface guidelines. surprised it got through app store approval.

5/5Love this app so much!
I am using just the free version, I do not use it much so not sure I will need the purchased version but I am curious about it because the free version is so awesome, I can only image what the paid version does!

2/5Damages video quality
Just purchased the full version and it is not great. 1. Video quality after the blur is greatly decreased. The areas that are not blurred suddenly have really poor resolution 2. Timing controls are Bey poorly designed and hard to use 3. After saving the video there is no good way to get back to Home Screen without going back through all the steps Waste of money
