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

its been years and its all I'll ever use, even when on my computer, i turn to my phone just to use this app. it does not show pop up ads unless you hit "finish" in top right corner, which i often do just to support the app, even though you don't have to to save your photos; you can edit multiple pictures or even leave the app without ever having to hit that button and see an add, but I do it out of respect. they have created an amazing app that does exactly what i need it to without annoying ads
