Blur Background Photo Effects 4+

FUN AND CREATIVE

This app is so fun to use and not complicated! You can get interesting and moody effects easily!
And the frame feature is a welcomed finishing touch😊👍🏻

Get this app!

Takes the work out of depth of field.
Love it!

Full screen, no album sorting

Right now- June, 2021- this looks like the best of it's kind. It shows clearly where it's focusing so there's no surprises and the depth of field is stunning. It's not at all clear how they managed this with these itty bitty lenses … whoops! Lenses! Of course. That's how they did it. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I haven't done a systematic comparison but it looks like all the miniaturizing apps offer pretty extreme filters so I'll leave that until post.(Pt. 2 There's surprising changes to the miniaturized part of the photo as the intensity of the filter is adjusted so I use them all the time.) The photo size selections are excellent, up to full screen. Thanks guys. OTOH, the watermark is so big it almost needs a different name. Unfortunately this doesn't sort photos into a separate album on my camera roll. I find that really useful to figure out how to use an app better. (Pt. 2 It's obvious what's from this camera; I still like automatic sorting)

The "wood" frames are pretty bad- they'd just be slabs of (ply?)wood with the middle chunked out. Maybe that works in scrapbooking but not here. Reality calls for mitre cuts. If I could crop and "straighten" before the frames I'd get a lot more use from them. Does anyone do that? Be even more fantastic and try it, devs!

If you don't click "done" after frames but "save" in the bottom right instead, you can go back (upper left) and change filters and frames. I really appreciate that, especially since the filters are malleable.

I had 4 🌟 initially- lack of album sorting, cropping, hideous "wood" frames but now I see it has other interesting options so should I go for 5 and ask for changes? Sure, why not?

1st review, mid-June. Additions: July 31

Developer Response ,

Hi PhelineCat! Thank you for a the thorough review, we really appreciate the feedback. Great suggestion to place the photos in a separate album, will look at adding that to the next version. The frames could do with some improvement, if you have any nice examples of suitable frames please let us know. Watermark is maybe too big, will consider making it smaller (even if it is the only way we promote / charge for the app)
