Ratings and reviews

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.

Best one on the App Store! I have been using this app for years now. It has a simpler UI, so it's easy to navigate and simple to use. It doesn't require a sign-in, which is nice and user friendly. I like that the ads are put on hold until you're done with your image rather than before or during. The only downside is the magic tool can sometimes have a hard time recognizing more subtle colors, but other than that, it's perfect. I would definitely recommend it.

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
