✓ Terrible - freezes when opening photo librarySlow, freezing, non-native UI.. the list goes on and on and i haven’t even been able to use the portrait effects yet. boooo.Version: 2.3
✓ Waste of moneyDoesn't work properly, controls are not responsive..Version: 1.4
✓ Meh.Editing the mask is very fussy, doesn’t always seem to want to go where your finger is pointing. Zooming and panning are hard so that doesn’t help. Also on my second use of the app it crashed when I clicked Done after painstaking manual edits on the mask with a very busy background, and this is on a 2-day-old new iPhone with all updates to iOS and apps. This wants to be a pretty cool app but the frustration level is too high..Version: 2.5
✓ To developer: There is a crash on AppThe app is installed on iPhone X but for some reason it doesn’t work to touch and open it, not even are able to delete and reinstall..Version: 2.9
✓ Pretty okayThe app does okay enough, and is decent at face detection. But it is not perfect, and it has a tendency to crash a lot..Version: 2.9
✓ Nice resultsFairly quick workflow but there are some annoyances.. sliders buttons are too small and you end up moving the mask around sometimes instead.. moving and zooming is a bit clunky.. also when changing apertures setting the mask moves and there are other weird interface quirks that make it less than great. .. i like the feathering on the mask, it gives nice results but maybe the brush area is too far above where you press.. some wider selection of lens glares etc will be welcome.. i'm liking it, the blurs are nice just keep the improvements coming thanks :).Version: 1.3
✓ Not ready for prime timeGot this on the promise it would bring the “portrait” effect to my photos. Selecting the foreground is not automatic, particularly accurate or easy to modify. Argh!.Version: 2.6
✓ Update 21.11.17Just noticed an app update that I don’t recall ever having bought or installed. Turns out this strange app is the formerly perfectly appropriately named ‘Depth Effects’, now renamed for the rather spurious reason of having added face and edge detection. Shouldn’t have bothered. With either. Nevertheless, I immediately checked it out on my not now quite so new iPhone 7 (see below), took a selfie, used face detection, edited the edge detection mask, defocussed the background, attempted to further edit the mask and the app promptly crashed. Rereading my previous update below, I note that crashing had been fixed. So that’s another star lost. To the developers (who never did get back to me), a word of advice: ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ plus: ‘and whatever you do, don’t change the name!’ Update 27.01.17 Having previously reported 'constant crashing' on an iPhone 5 (see below), I received an email from the developer promising to look into the issue (though no further communication), as well as a full refund from the App Store. The app remained on my phone, however uselessly and was copied across to my new phone when I recently upgraded to iPhone 7. The app works quite well on the new device, without crashing. It would not update however and had to be deleted and repurchased before allowing me to submit this updated review. Having done that and tested the app on several images, a few observations: there is still no mention of iPhone 5 (and other?) incompatibility in the App Store description; the app does not cope with unusually large images, e.g. imported from another camera and will not load them into the app; the masking tool is quite crude and could do with the addition of edge detection to help with fiddly and irregular edges. On the plus side, the bokeh effects are optically convincing and though the distinction between Flares and Glares is unclear, both sets offer attractive additional options. I also note that the price for the latest version has gone up by £1, an increase of a third of the original price, which seems a lot considering the remaining faults and bugs. So three stars only, I'm afraid. 11.01.17 iPhone 5 running iOS 10.2. App launches and allows image selection from Camera Roll but crashes as soon as any edit is attempted. Relaunching requires same image selection again but crashes again in exactly the same way. Have tried several images and several relaunches. No joy whatsoever. iOS is up to date and developer site makes no mention of iPhone incompatibility. So far, an utterly useless app and complete waste of money..Version: 2.2
✓ Still Crash,After face detection, this app going out. Please Fix..Version: 2.3
✓ On the way to being excellentHi BFM, sorry to report this is running a little sluggish on my iPhone 6+ when trying to move and rotate the masks. The brush tool is working fine though. Also, when you crank up the blur effect it looks weird… shouldn't it convert to Gaussian?.Version: 1.3
✓ Does Not Work!!I purchased this app on 1/5/18 and have not been able to open the application at all. Very disappointed!! It crashes ever single time..Version: 2.4
✓ I want my $$$ backPlease refund my money. I’ve had this app for 10 minutes and it’s crashed 5 times..Version: 3.4
✓ Crashes facebookWhen you upload to facebook it crashes Facebook at 17% of the rendering in the preview.Version: 3.2
✓ Crashes ConstantlyAm not at all impressed with this app. Crashes constantly, and when it does work, it has limited functionality. App developers respond to most negative reviews with “we are looking into the problem” yet months later the same problems occur. Not what you’d expect on a paid app..Version: 2.3
✓ Shouldn’t be 4 dollars...I really like this app when it works, which is not that frequent, since there are so many bugs like not being able to zoom in and out at times and constant crashing. Please fix these!.Version: 2.3
✓ Not Too ImpressiveI'm a big fan of this company's other photo editing apps, but this one fell short of their usual great stuff. I love this company's apps because they bring me new things I can't find in other photo apps-but this one-everything on it I already have in other photo editing apps..Version: 1.0
✓ Don't waste your moneyLook elsewhere for this kind of app try "snapseed" it's a favorite and has so much more..this is a big disappointment..i should have known, i didn't care for the lens effects.Version: 1.0
✓ CrashEvery time I open the app, it crashes. Please fix ASAP.Version: 2.5
✓ Epic FailI am a big fan of Brainfevermedia apps of which I use several. It is hard to believe that PortraitCam is part of the same stable. I wrote the developer who responded quickly but offered no helpful information. My follow up request for help and info has gone unanswered. Rather than a litany of what doesn’t work, suffice it to say that the masking, which is the heart of the app, is a mess. I get better results from the portrait mode of the native camera app on my iPhone 7 Plus and apps such as Focos, Slør and Tadaa SLR..Version: 2.7
✓ UnusableThe unresponsiveness of this app is a complete disgrace..Version: 1.4
✓ DisappointedMay as well by a free app that has blur effect as this app is hard to use and auto face detect doesn’t work very well. Also the app isn’t an auto magic camera just a silly add on!.Version: 2.5
✓ FAILCrashes, and does not work. I want my money back..Version: 1.3
✓ App crashing on launchJust purchased. App crashes on launch..Version: 1.4
✓ Can I return this app?All actions are very delayed, making it hard to play around and make edits..Version: 1.4
✓ PotentialHas a lot of potential. I don’t see an option for Flash when taking photos, and I cannot move around the photo accurately when editing where the blur should and shouldn’t be..Version: 2.0
✓ 🙁Unusable Crashes iPad 4.Version: 1.4
✓ Doesn't load.I love all the other apps from this developer, so had high hopes for this. Unfortunately it won't even load on my iPad2. Hopefully a fix will be forthcoming quickly, else it's a waste of £2.99. Update 31-1-17 Updated ios to 9.3.2. App now loads, occasionally, but often crashes. When it does load, everything appears to work, EXCEPT the depth bit, which is why I bought it. Have had no further communication with developers, so it's still a waste of £2.99. Update 24-3-17 Still doesn't work, developers seem to have lost interest into solving it. Total waste of money. Don't buy it..Version: 1.3
✓ BuggySluggish and buggy......Version: 1.0
✓ Works the same as all the free apps.It recognizes your face and assumes things in the background are also part of your face. The edges of the blur are sharp rather than gradually becoming blurry. I want my $3.99 back.Version: 2.4
✓ CONSTANT CRASHINGI was recommended by some people to get this app expecting great things so I tried it and it was terrible. Not only was it not user friendly but it was very hard to work with. Not responding half the time and it really annoyed me for the fact that it costed 4$ for a scam..Version: 2.2
✓ To Crash Or Not To CrashI love this app so much but I dream of a day when it isn’t a tossup if it’s going to crash after editing the blur mask. It would be such a perfect app if not for that frustration. Everything else about it is wonderful and I love the results when I can manage to get an edit done..Version: 3.2
✓ Good AppAs of 11/13/17. Thanks for your reply, Developer. No worries. This sometimes happens with iOS update. As of 11/10/2017, App crashes on iPad Air 2 with iOS 11.1.1 when trying to select Done. Please fix. Thanks! Initial Review: So far, I'm finding this app to be pretty good with the effects. I purchased the 8-App Bundle from BrainFever Media, and am glad I did, however, I think this app could have been blended with one or two of the others. However, perhaps there was a reason they kept it separate. So far, this is the least of my favorite BrainFever Media Apps. It's not bad, it's just...well, I guess it's somewhat similar in some ways to LensFlare and LensLight. Maybe as I use their Apps more my review will change over time. Also, as another reviewer mentioned here, their are delays in the apps I've been using from them. Some of them have frozen and even crashed a couple of times. However, if the output I see on my iPhone and iPad looks just as awesome on my 27 inch iMac, then these apps by BrainFever Media will be KEEPERS. The effects throughout the series that I've been using so far have been AMAZING... especially Alien Sky. Also, check out BrainFever Media's Mac apps. (No, I don't work for them, LOL). I'm hoping they make Alien Sky for the Mac. Thanks!.Version: 2.2
✓ Kind of lameThis would be a great app if you could use it on all of your photos. At least for iOS, it will not allow you to choose images to edit from Photos that are on the cloud, which for most people is most of their archive, so it's really only good for photos taken very recently..Version: 1.4
✓ Won't openPaid for the app. Started the app. Stared at splash screen for a few minutes. App crashes. I'm hoping this will be fixed..Version: 1.0
✓ A waste of £3:99!The app keeps crashing in the middle of a photo edit, or the erase function stops working and you have to start again! Frustrating and time consuming. I would not recommend this app at all..Version: 2.6
