Blur Photo Background Reviews

by 😞noooooooooooo

I purchased BlurPhotoBackground back in Oct 2020 payed for the no add and watermarked lifetime also in November I purchased for the lifetime opacity. Now that it has switched to monthly or yearly purchase it wants me to purchase again for the same thing, won’t let me use at all. It won’t go past the purchase selection. I pressed already purchase it states there is no record of purchase. I have proof of purchase.

BlurPhotoBackground was pretty decent in the past. It wasn’t one of those apps I used constantly but when I did it seemed to preform well. Unfortunately BlurPhotoBackground stopped working properly some time ago. Everything seems to be working properly, until you go to save or share and then it’s still the original image. It really pisses me off and I think Apple should pull BlurPhotoBackground. This was not just the free version. I paid for this garbage and it doesn’t preform. Also I noticed that some of the fx are not as strong as before and now I have to change the opacity but they are charging more money for an app that doesn’t work. What’s the point if it doesn’t save to my photos. Get your act together.

BlurPhotoBackground is dumb. I got it for free and when I tried to use the opacity tool, it told me to rate it. That was fine with me and I gave it a good rating and got my opacity tool. Now, they have updated it and TOOK AWAY MY OPACITY TOOL!
BlurPhotoBackground is deceitful and stupid. They probably did that because people were leaving bad reviews and getting the opacity tool. Now I am writing a bad review not because I have to write one, but because this is what I think of BlurPhotoBackground.
Do. Not. Get. This. App. There are many other *better* photo blurring and editing apps that you should get instead.
App makers, if you see this, please change it back. I will like BlurPhotoBackground again.

So very annoying. I had just BOUGHT the entire app, hadn't even edited one pic yet, and when I went to adjust the opacity, it told me I could either cancel or rate BlurPhotoBackground to "unlock" that feature. Mind you, I had already payed $1.99 to get (what I thought was) full access to the features of BlurPhotoBackground . Well, of course I tapped cancel & it closed the pop up but then it popped up again. We played this stupid game 5 times & then I finally gave in & tapped rate. So, that brings me here. Wasting my time rating an app that I haven't used & know absolutely nothing about. So, for that, their app gets 2 stars. I was going to give them one, but I'm not a mean spirited person usually. I'm just ticked off that after paying $1.99, I can't use the whole app without any interruptions. Rethink it, app makers. Rethink it.

I just purchased BlurPhotoBackground, and I was forced to write a review in order to adjust the opacity of the blur tool. I've only edited one photo with the blur tool previously, and when I tried to adjust the opacity, it told me because it was the trial version that I needed to purchase it to unlock the opacity feature. I purchased it, and now the notification says I need to review BlurPhotoBackground to unlock the opacity feature. That is misleading and BS. I'm obviously writing a negative review because I was forced to review BlurPhotoBackground before I got a chance to really use it. I'm so annoyed. Developer, you did this to yourself...

I actually like the free version of BlurPhotoBackground and would buy it if not for one exasperating fact: Its insanely easy to lose your work. You can’t save a project in prices. All it takes is one tiny slip of the finger to the back carrot and yo-yo work is gone. No way to recover it. It’s happened to me twice in a row.

Yes, I know this sounds like a user error, but it’s an interface issue. If you’re blurring large portions of a photo on a small phone screen, that’s a simple slip to make.

I only tried a couple things and when I went to adjust the size of the blurring tool, it wouldn't let me until I gave a review. LET ME TRY BlurPhotoBackground BEFORE YOU DEMAND I MAKE A REVIEW. YOU WILL GET MORE POSITIVE REVIEWS IF WE ARE ALLOWED TO CHECKOUT THE FEATURES BlurPhotoBackground OFFERS.
App seems to blur out what I want blurred. But you can ONLY use one Blur effect in the picture per session. I will have to save my picture and do it again for the other part I want blurred. It does have different blur effects, which are cool.

Don’t buy BlurPhotoBackground. First of all, you can’t adjust the feather of the brush, so when you blur there is a hard line between the blurred area and the non blurred area. Second, you’ll pay for BlurPhotoBackground , and then to use any of the blur adjustments you’ll have to pay another $1.99. After that when you go to save the image, you’ll have to pay another $1.99 to remove their water mark from the image (and to avoid ads within BlurPhotoBackground ).

If they had sold it in BlurPhotoBackground Store for $5 or so up front with no additional fees, I probably would have bought it and given it a decent review. But since you buy BlurPhotoBackground without knowing that you have to pay even more just to use it properly, then I say it’s not worth the money to get.

I paid the $1.99 to remove the watermark on photos I edited on BlurPhotoBackground. When I use the blur tool, what it shows in the preview of the photo isn't how the photo was edited.

For example, if I blur a section of the photo everything looks fine but then when I go to save it the photo it's barely blurred. It's like if the blur looses some of its effect while it's saving.

This is definitely an issue.

I'm rating because I have to in order to use some of the adjustment features... I really don't like apps that force you to rate them and get reviews in order for you to use them. It's difficult for me to give an honest review, therefore, because I haven't been able to do yet, what I got BlurPhotoBackground for! Frustrating!
From what I can see, it appears to have some interesting features. We'll see.

I was in the middle of blurring something and I tried to fix the way I wanted to blur the photo but it told me I had to either rate them or not use the feature. BlurPhotoBackground seemed like a cool app but if it doesn't let me change the level of blur on my photo, it won't be very nice. Hopefully they will actually give me the feature unlike some apps that tell me to rate them and I don't even get anything in return.

Its a pretty cool app. I like how it has different types of blurs that you can choose from. It definitely "does the job" if you're looking to blur certain areas of your photo. My only issue is that you can't make adjustments to blur areas without the blur going back to original when you click the unblur button. Once you click unblur, it literally unblurs the blurred areas.

Nice app I would say its pretty decent but it worked on the photo that I am working right now.I just hope it gives you more option n to adjust things such as: brushing or even making those circles into small so I can perfectly make a good line around my face in the picture. But overall I enjoyed it.

It's annoying they make you rate them BEFORE you get to use the opacity button so essentially you have to rate them possibly before you even finish your first project. 😒 however BlurPhotoBackground works really well and the features are great so I will continue to use it.

Wow, I've been looking for an app that allows me to blur out backgrounds for the longest time and I finally found this. BlurPhotoBackground is so easy to use! As a beginner to photo editing, I wouldn't be able to do what I do without the tools BlurPhotoBackground provides. Excellent!!

by Lauramdrn

I got BlurPhotoBackground but I couldn’t use it because I couldn’t adjust the opacity without spending more money. Then I saved the photo and had to spend more money again to get rid of the annoying add. I feel ripped off!

Multiple times I've run into situations where random people are in the back or the background looks awkward and BlurPhotoBackground has saved me multiple times. Plus it looks very professional and clean

by Socaljules182

Only thing I wish it had was a tool to autos elect either the portion you don't want to blur, or auto select the portion you do want to blur...otherwise it's super easy and there's so many cool backgrounds to chose from!! I do suggest BlurPhotoBackground to other people looking for photo editing apps!

BlurPhotoBackground is great...for those that really haven't tried it or gave up because it wanted a review....I've read some of the other reviews and I'm only doing this because it asked me to give it a review after trying to change the opacity. So here it is. I love it. You can blur, unblur, change the opacity, and choose different effects. Change the size of your opaquing tool. Zoom in n out to get those small areas. It's great!!

It's a good app it blurs everything out pretty good like you can't even tell what it is. The options that are free are good enough but if you want it to be better obviously pay not sure if I would recommend it that much. If you're going for more of a soft blurr then this isn't BlurPhotoBackground for you however if you aren't then I recommend it
