Blur Photo Editor Reviews

by VanPersiefan4life

I used to use BlurPhotoEditor simply just to blur out the background which was free and that was all I needed to do. Hadn’t used BlurPhotoEditor in a year and I needed to blur something out, and I discovered its 7.99 A WEEK?!?! THATS 32 DOLLARS A MONTH, AND 415 DOLLARS PER YEAR? That just seemed really insane to me, my laptop was less than BlurPhotoEditor costed per year. You can’t even do anything without paying. Even photoshop is less than this. This is way too overpriced, developers ruined BlurPhotoEditor with greed.

Are you for real? You can’t SAVE a photo on the regular app? What is the point of even having a non-paid version when it is 100% nonfunctional. You want $50 to... use a blur filter. Ok. Y’all are out of your minds, which wouldn’t even bother me except you’re tricking people into downloading your app under the pretense of having basic functionality LIKE EVERY OTHER FREE VERSION OF A NON-SCAM APP. Why not just sell the paid version and quit wasting people’s time. Good lord this is obnoxious. You get five stars for jerk design though.

I am of the opinion that a good app is with paying for. I consider the added functionality that a good app brings to a smart phone as something that is well worth buying. I have bought many apps even though their free version did what I needed. Why? Because I believe if you put your time and effort into developing an app that helps me, I should help you back.

I had the free copy of BlurPhotoEditor ( previous version ) and I used it a few times and I liked it. I updated to this newest version and it is not allowing me to save my work. Fine. I will pay for it. $2 perhaps? $5 perhaps to buy it?? Nooooo, $50 PER YEAR subscription?? Are you serious??? This is where the developer doesn’t realize that for every 1 paid subscription, he/she could have 100s of purchases if it were priced at say $2-$5 to purchase.

Deleting BlurPhotoEditor now. Will not come back just based on principle. Developer, Good luck with your future endeavors.

At first BlurPhotoEditor was cool, then it tried to force me to get the 3-day “free trial”. Beware! BlurPhotoEditor is a money-grab trap! If you don’t select the “free trial” option, then BlurPhotoEditor will not work. Once you apply for the “free trial”, this company will have access to your credit card or debit card information and will charge you $7.99/ WEEK to use their product. There are other blur apps that offer this same services for free or much cheaper. BlurPhotoEditor is a scam.

⚠️⚠️⚠️DO NOT TRY THE “FREE TRIAL”, BECAUSE YOU WILL END UP UNWILLING BUYING IT.⚠️⚠️⚠️

Today I was looking for a free photo blurrer and I came across BlurPhotoEditor. It looked nice so I got it, and I saw that you had the option to pay for “vip features” so I knew that some of it was free. I got it, and I selected the photo I wanted to blur but every time I did the ad for the vip would pop up. I kept exiting out of it and selecting the photo again, and it did the same thing. BlurPhotoEditor would’ve been nice, but you can’t do anything unless you pay. Might as well make BlurPhotoEditor itself cost money!

So basically, if you are looking for a free photo blurrer, BlurPhotoEditor is the wrong one to download. You can’t do ANYTHING on BlurPhotoEditor unless you buy the stupid V.I.P thing.

Also, even if you wanted to buy the V.I.P, it’s pretty pricey. $7 a week is $35 a month to USE BlurPhotoEditor . Like come on!!

If you are looking for a FREE photo blurrer, then download “Blur Photo Effect Background”, it worked great for me and it’s free.


Thanks for reading, I hope this helps. Have a good day :)

I used BlurPhotoEditor once and I actually really liked the blur paintbrush tool and BlurPhotoEditor itself. When I tried to save the image I had edited, BlurPhotoEditor prompted me to upgrade to the premium version. I tried out the “3 day free trial” for about five minutes and then decided it wasn’t worth the expensive monthly or yearly fee. So I immediately canceled the subscription in my iTunes settings. Then today I see the annual fee plus tax has been charged to my bank account. That’s a $53 charge that I didn’t authorize and I went out of my way to avoid this situation well before the “free trial” was over. Beware!

Every dev is moving to these subscription payment models, and while I get why, it’s still the dumbest approach with all things considered for the way most people consume apps from the AppStore. The actual turnover of people who really pay these astronomical monthly rates vs just delete from their phone and move on to the next app has got to be extremely high. I’d rather pay a higher up front, one-time cost vs pay a monthly subscription to virtually anything. Monthly bills are for “keeping the lights on” - NOT blurring a freaking photo 🤣

✌🏻 out.

Normally when a review says, “ BlurPhotoEditor won’t let you do anything without purchasing the VIP pack!”, they’re exaggerating and you can do about 50% of the things offered. BlurPhotoEditor, on the other hand, won’t let you do ANYTHING without the VIP pack. It wouldn’t let me click on a single photo to edit or try out a single feature. Every 10 seconds, the offer to become VIP pops up and makes the whole screen glitch. Honestly, stay away from BlurPhotoEditor unless you plan on paying $4.99 a month!

I don’t know how BlurPhotoEditor was able to confirm a $53 charge on my card. I don’t even use it. Downloaded it a literally a year ago for ONE PICTURE and forgot to delete it. Woke up w a $53 charge on my card (overdrafting my debit card) this morning. Mind you this was a year long subscription. Don’t download BlurPhotoEditor for your own financial security; there’s better apps and I’m sure if someone was crazy enough to want a “premium blur app” for a year there’s CHEAPER apps and I’m sure photoshop does the same even better for your money. Blur Photo is run by scammers.

I spent 30+ minutes working on an image and when I went to save it, BlurPhotoEditor was saying I needed to pay and then I tried to click back to my image and it had exited out of it. BlurPhotoEditor itself does the job but I don’t like how in the blink of an eye my image that I spent over half an hour on was gone. I also feel like they should make it VERY clear in the beginning that in order to save an image you need to pay so this doesn’t happen to anyone else in the future.

I was editing a photo for Instagram, spending at least 45 minutes on it, and it said it saved to my photo album. So I closed BlurPhotoEditor and went to my photo album to see if it was there... nope. I go back to BlurPhotoEditor and to my surprise the photo I was working on wasn’t there! I was so angry that I spent useless time editing a photo! Not to mention how the blur editing is SO glitchy, and takes forever to fix and erase all the ugly parts from the glitches. Definitely needs improvements.

BlurPhotoEditor would not let me save the picture I edited until I signed up for their 1 year subscription. I opted for the 3 day trial and planned to cancel shortly after. However after signing up and saving my picture, they made it confusing and complicated on how to cancel the subscription. I couldn’t find it in BlurPhotoEditor nor my settings. I pressed redeem purchases and left it at that. This morning I was charged $53... all to save one picture. I recommend not getting BlurPhotoEditor.

I paid for BlurPhotoEditor quite a while back so I could get rid of the advertisements. Now it appears you have disregarded my previous payment because you have decided to charge an exuberant monthly fee to access. Now even though it shows my purchase restored it still will not let me save due to the required subscription service demands.I will not pay what I see as ridiculous and I will be contacting Apple regarding a refund do me.

First, let me say I like BlurPhotoEditor. It does what its supposed to do, and the results look great. That said, the fact that the developers want to charge you an incredible amount of money to use it is ridiculous. If you want to use the free version of their software, then don’t expect to do anything with what you create, because you cannot save ANY of your work to your camera roll. You can only save within BlurPhotoEditor , and that’s useless for whatever you needed the picture for. I wish I could give BlurPhotoEditor a better rating, because I think it would deserve it, but to have to pay such a high amount to just use the basic functions is stupid. Keep looking...there are just as good of blur applications that won’t cost you such a high amount.

This really is an excellent app, the problem I have with it is that the pricing seems to have completely changed. Before, you could at least use the basic blur function for free, but you had to buy a subscription to use any of the more advanced tools. That was fine given how little I used the toll. (I basically just used it to blur out personal information in screenshots.) Now, I just discovered that you can’t do ANYTHING without a subscription, and the subscription is $7.99 per WEEK! That’s over $400 per year for an app I typically only use a couple times a month. (That’s TWICE the price of the full Adobe Photoshop app by the way!) That’s RIDICULOUS! I totally understand developers needing to make money from BlurPhotoEditor , but that truly is an exorbitant price, particularly for a casual user. I’m disappointed because this really was the best of the various blur apps I’ve tried, but I just can’t justify paying that price.

I was looking for an app to be able to blur out faces for posting pics publicly, and this works perfectly! And you can zoom in for getting more precise or adjust the intensity of the blur. And if you don't want to blur then you can also pixelize the face. I love BlurPhotoEditor!

I was looking for an iPhone app to get the blurred background job done to one of my images. Basically I was trying to hide my car number plate but I was struggling to find any app that does produce pixelated background of pictures. Sometimes pics get blurry too, so we need to unblur it. This blur background app for iPhone does the photo blurring job quite easily. I’d recommend BlurPhotoEditor to censor your face or to pixelate any images wherever you need to keep your privacy intact. This is by far the best face pixelating app on the Appstore.

Giving u 5 stars cus I haven't really used it yet so I don't wanna be the wild premature hater... I will adjust accordingly if it ends up being whack...but thought I should let y'all know u spelled "INSTRUCTIONS" wrong on the instructions page... might wanna check that. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Easy to use and free. Only need to use every now and then and it works well. A few ads pop on the free version but not much of a problem.

Best blur photo editor app for iPhone. I have been looking for… how to blur out part of a picture on iPhone. How to blur background on iPhone. Found out several apps like blur photo background editor and blur photo effect. I used them. But this photo blurring app is way more better then them. I can easily remove background from a picture on iPhone. Or blur face, credit card info, words even more easily. Thanks to the blur photo editor app developer team.
