Ratings and reviews

I've used this app, and loved it, for several years and find it really good. I make custom icons for my phone and the ability to remove backgrounds is perfect. Adds after every edit is a bit much, for me. I'd definitely pay for an adds free version. adds seem to have gotten longer between tasks, lately.

For a free app, this works great. Some photos may need a little manual cleanup, but the cut-in and cut-out tools are simple and most people will figure them out quickly without tutorials. The auto tool is a little tricky at first but works well once you get the hang of it. One suggestion for the developer: adding brush offset/size control and a small time delay option, plus an add/remove option to the magic tool, would make editing faster and more precise. Ads are non-intrusive.

If you're looking to remove the background from an image there's simply no better free app out their. This app is simple and straight forward while being extremely efficient. It does exactly what it promises, nothing more nothing less. I end up using it more than any of my other (five) photo editing apps and in 2+ years it's never let me down. (Bonus Points for having the least obtrusive ads I've seen in an app.) UPDATE: gotta take away those bonus points but still a good app
