rating aligns with reviewsThe main object removal tool outperforms most alternatives. Jewelry, wires, and strangers on the beach are removed cleanly. Edge awareness is high: the tool does not blur neighboring objects. The new beta people-removal feature is weaker and leaves artifacts along the silhouette edge. The app has become noticeably slower on new iPhones.
88% five-star ratings with a textAvg of 2.94. The gap is significant but explainable: most of the negativity comes from longtime users unhappy with a business model change. Positive reviews are specific and describe real results. No organic manipulation detected.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
What users love
- Removing thin lines (wires
- Ropes
- Cracks) without blurring the background is done more precisely and cleanly than most competitors
- Including mobile Photoshop.
What users hate
- The beta people-removal feature leaves a visible outline along the silhouette edge that requires additional cleanup. The app has slowed significantly and overheats the phone during complex operations.
Who it is for
Photographers and retouchers who need to cleanly remove small objects (wires, road signs, random passersby) without destroying the background.
