AfterFocus Positive Reviews

App review against its competitors1st review - decent and well thought out. Give 4 stars so far. Against the other app this one seems to be slightly better. Although other app crashed and developer does not know why it's crashing will need more head2head testing on same photo before giving a second rating. 2nd review against head2head photo. Have to downgrade this apps rating to 3 stars against other app at 4 stars even with other app crashing. Why? This app does NOT have a macro masking pop up viewer so you can actually trace outline of what you want to keep in focus. Using your fat finger user cannot see the mask. Sad. This app does have far more tools filters effects than other app. Yet cannot find the undo button when I made a background blur mistake. Developer give user a macro mask viewer window and an undo button and this app easy 4.5 stars!!.MauijoeVersion: 3.1.5

It strips out metadataWorks pretty well, especially if you take your time to carefully mask the areas you want to blur. I’ve used it a long time and will continue to until I find a similar app that leaves my metadata intact. As a photographer, it’s pretty important to have that info for photos in my catalog and galleries. So, only 3 stars from me. However, it’s great for quick social media posts if you don’t care about preserving metadata..In2photosVersion: 3.1.5

Makes photos “POP”!I’ve been using this app for years! And I absolutely love how it makes the subject of your photo really stand out and pop against the background - it excels at getting rid of a very noisy backgrounds. My favorite use is a single subject/portrait and then motion blur and gray out the background. I’ve gotten some fantastic photos this way. And if I have a very clean line around my subject I will put the “sticker” effect on for some drama and it just looks great. It would be nice to be able to change the color of that white sticker outline though - maybe a future enhancement? Really great app for what it does. Five stars all the way!! Very nice job developers!!.W4shepVersion: 3.1.5

One of the bestThis app has been worth every penny and more. Everyone that I've sent my pictures to has been impressed with the look of the pictures. I am just an average photo taker, but with this app pictures can look like a professional. It was extremely easy to use and navigate. At first I was just looking for an app to blur the background in some of my pictures, but this app can do that and so much more. I've now find myself just looking through my photo album to look for other pictures I like that I can modify as well. Definitely one of the best photo apps out there!.GarzaDVersion: 3.1.5

Because of this app I don’t have to buy a bigger or more expensive iPhone.After using this app I realize I don’t have to buy a bigger or more expensive iPhone for Portrait mode. This thing does just as good if a job, if not better. I love it. Update: I have an iPhone X and I still prefer to use this because I can get my blurring details just right. Still absolutely love this app. QUESTION: where did the developers of this app go??? It hasn’t been updated in two years. This app is amazing I just want to see it get better..DMBJDANEVersion: 3.1.5

Pretty Good, thumbs upJust got this app because I wanted to touch up some selfies to use as profile pics. I usually take selfies on snap or Instagram because of the nice filters, but then you don’t get to take advantage of the portrait mode on your phone. This app did exactly what I needed it to. The “manual blur” is fast and easy to use and I love how it lets you change the amount of blur after you’ve cropped out the background.LstigsyhbVersion: 3.1.5

Smart!!This app gives you fantastic EASY access to the 'pop out' focus/blur style of adjustments to your photos. Very smart app that has all the little tools and features you'll need to quickly achieve great effects. The default setting of overwriting your original photo should be changed before you use, if it's your wish to keep your original photo. FYI. Great app..USF-Galaxy1Version: 3.1.5

Do one thing, but do very well!I use this app to make my photos more lively. It is very easy to select people or objects in a photo using the smart selection tool, and its UX is great. You will instantly know how to use it; very intuitive. Facing out background adds way better effect than I expected. Two thumbs up!.BoyoonVersion: 3.1.5

Does an admirable job, but....The app works as advertised, and my first attempt using the automatic method produced excellent results on a race car image where the background needed to have some motion blur added. The selection method works well, a very simple and effective method. My only beef is the final saved resolution of my 4256x2832 image was reduced to 1023x681. Bad form! That really needs to be fixed. This is a real deal-killer. It really limits the usefulness of a "touch-up" app like this. Otherwise, it is a good performer, and certainly better, wth a little practice, than the other brute force method apps that give you little or no control over what gets blurred..Techno-nutVersion: 1.0.0

Tweak appYou should give the user the ability to draw on the subject, and lift the pen or fingertip off without highlighting the entire subject. The addition of a "NEXT" button to do just that would be much more convenient. It allows us to see better when doing detailed works on the subject, such as drawing on areas of the subject that aren't meant to be blurred.Bayside StudiosVersion: 3.1.5

Still works and it's greatWas worried about buying an app that hasn't been updated in 3 years but it worked great. I am using an iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 13 and it worked flawlessly. Probably the best option on an iPhone for blurring backgrounds. I was very impressed..Dhenke1690Version: 3.1.5

Use it all the time!I really like this app, I use it all the time. I have no photography skills or knowledge and this app (plus a few others) allow me to be super creative with my photos — I feel like a pro! I’ve even entered a few photo contests. Mahalo nui!.JodiealohaVersion: 3.1.5

Best focus app!This app has the unique focus area selection method and it is easier to use than other touch-based focus-blur apps. Edge of selected area is clearly separated from blurred background. This app will be a my favorite after-camera app..Iphone forever!Version: 3.1.5

AfterFocus is the next best thing!For those of us with older model iPhones without dual lenses. It’s very simple to draw a line for the focus and background areas, then set blur, bokeh, etc. Love it!.BAR112Version: 3.1.5

Still the best! By far...I can't express how much I love this app. I've been using AfterFocus for awhile now. It's my go to app for full control of the depth of feel I'm looking for. "Smart blur" is so cool!.BMoreGoHard_Version: 3.1.5

Must have app for photograph.One of the best app for retouching portraits on the newer iPhones and the best option for a single-lens camera. If you know how to use this app, this is perfect. Thank you.BuburuzeleVersion: 3.1.5

For $.99 it's greatIt isn't Photoshop but for $.99 it does what it's supposed to do quickly and easily I am delighted..BluesloverinNPBVersion: 3.1.5

Does what it suppose to do.Easy to use and blurs out the selected background. So it does what it supposed to do..Big AlpVersion: 3.1.5

Great app and easy to use!Great app!.567789655Version: 3.1.5

Awesome! Just Wish...This is the best blurring app I've used. Most of my photos don't have things at the same distance across the frame so using just a band to set focus and blur areas doesn't work. Same with just using a circle. This app lets you choose the objects to be sharp, mid, or all out of focus. Take the time to view the tutorial video on using the smart method. It pays off. And you can adjust the blur amount - I usually tone it down a bit. I don't mind the stronger setting as it lets me clearly see what the app is doing. Only 4 stars due to not supporting high resolution images from my other cameras. Need this and maybe make the app universal so I don't have to use it 2X on my iPad..GobeattyVersion: 3.1.2

SuggestionsThis app is generally a great tool for me. I second the request someone else made regarding more precise masking and that would be changing the preset brush sizes to a variable slide controlled brush size controller, so one can get into tight areas. Another thing would help greatly: the ability to lock zoom so that one can paint the mask without the image constantly zooming in and out. Being able to pan while in zoom would help a lot. For those who have difficulties using fingers to mask, I would suggest trying a brush stylus such as the Sensū Solo or even a regular rubber tipped stylus. It is much easier to paint with than a finger..Bari T.Version: 2.0.5

Sharp edgesI love the app and it works great for images that need a defined cut out blur. If I need a soft transition blur it will not do it. The edge feather only is a few pixels wide. If they added a way to adjust the feather size this app would totally rule. The mid and background areas you make don't blend at all. The harsh lines between the focus and background are too strong. Without being able to feather or blend that blur you have to basically use it for cut outs if that makes sense. They do have an option to do a straight line blur that does feather or fade nice, but not when selecting an area to cutout..JustinOringVersion: 3.0.0

Quite decent for the priceSure, I'd prefer full res with all EXIF data maintained, but that's really something Apple should mandate so we can prevent rogue apps like this from ruining our iOS experience. For the price, the app does a very respectable job. It is by no means perfect (particularly once you see the full-size image and realize all that wasn't easily seen on the small screen), but it is still best-in-class for iOS. Just be aware that the "smart" setting may not be smart enough if you're viewing on a regular computer screen or making prints..@CarlVersion: 1.2.1

Nice App, missing one very useful featureThis is a good app for what it is trying to accomplish. My only gripe, something that would make the results of this app much more useful, would be a more precise selection method. It is very hard to 'paint' with a finger on a touchscreen when trying to achieve nice looking images. Touch ReTouch, for example, has a very nice 'zoom while painting' feature that if something similar were implemented here, would make this app hard to beat..Russell AppleVersion: 2.0.5

Hey Photo Pro's - Get this one!I have tried all similar apps and can say this is the best app to quickly and accurately get really impressive fake DOF results - I'm actually kinda blown away by how well this app works and the "smart" controls and selection process are much more intuitive and easier to use than competing products. Best $0.99 you'll spend in the app store if you're a photographer looking for that DOF you traditionally only get with a DSLR. Nice work developers!.Figyur_8Version: 1.4.0

WOW!!!I spend hours everytime I use my iPhone camera, using a very specialized app to add DOF effects to my pictures. THIS APP HAS UNEQUIVOCALLY REPLACED IT! WOW!!! Completely replaced BigLens for me. I spend literally hours using my other app after an iphoneography session, this app will save me hours of time, while producing a significantly better output in some cases. If even has an option to take two photos (after moving a bit to the right) to automatically figure out which parts should be in focus and which parts should be blurry. Incredible. As a professional photographer, I couldn't ask for anything more.... Well, except for full resolution output, the ability to turn off the flash, and the ability to import the two photos from the camera roll..Superman137363Version: 1.4.0

(I Just Deleted Big Lens!)My first thought was LYTRO CAMERA! Why? because just like Lytro cam it has a similar ability of setting where you want to have blur and where to have focus. About 10 minutes ago, Big Lens was my go to shallow DOF app. I would spend a very long time drawing mask in Big Lens app to set my focus area- a very tedious and frustrating process that often ends in crashes. The zooming in and out are not smart at all. After a long masking, the edges of my focus area would come out unnatural. With AfterFocus, it is absolutely easy as hell to do shallow DOF with masking method I have never seen before- just draw a squiggly line over the area you want focus and boom area magically masked. AfterFocus PLEASE PLEASE- full resolution output! We are on the 6th generation iPhone and your output remains at 3GS, not cool..OrbitalboxVersion: 1.4.0

A Must Have for Photo Editors, WonderfulThis app is so easy to use!!! Beginners friendly and expert friendly. You can truly make some amazing adjustments if you take your time and even if you rush. I have a combination of settings that are my go to settings now for most images. The filters are really nice! Can use some IG style filters without having to go into IG and making a post. Love this app.. Suggestion: Like reviewers below mentioned, more precision would be great, it would also be nice to have other blur options, maybe some fun patterned blur designs (that's a little funky but why not). Any improvements and editing additions to the app will make it only more and more perfect, but it's already pretty amazing. Wonderful app!!!!.PinkiebVersion: 2.0.5

Take iPhone Pics to the next LevelI’ve been using AfterFocus for a couple of years. It’s one of my favorite photo apps because it works and it’s quick. It adds the depth of field effect to iPhone pics so well, you may find yourself importing photos taken with a “regular” camera into your iPhone so you can get the same effect. Highly recommended..DcjakelVersion: 2.0.5

Excellent toolThis is a truly great artists/photographers’ tool to have in one’s digital toolkit. I can use it on both photos and illustrations to highlight and suppress details creatively. Used with a stylus, the results can be stunning. I only wish that I could tweak the amount of blur but I suspect that I wouldn’t use that feature nearly as often as I think I would. All in all, a great product..Anand7Version: 3.1.5

Fave app all time😁Been using this since it came out. My go-to alternative if I don’t have my camera..CzarmaneVersion: 3.1.5

Pretty goodProbably the best blur effect app I've used. Looks like developer addressed a lot of the old complaints. Pretty simple to use. Not sure why some says it's hard. This app is pretty intuitive for a mobile app. And does a pretty good job of mimicking a DSLR camera's aperture. And then some. Works better on iPad pro with Apple Pencil. But still works well on iPhone. Compared an image blurred with this app, and iPhone X studio mode. And it's pretty close. Close enough that I've put off getting the iPX. Two issues though. 1. Accessing photos by having to keep going back to main screen, gets pretty redundant. Would be great to be able to access photos from work screen. 2. Being able to zoom in even more would be very beneficial. Especially for fine tuning..Mombo JomboVersion: 3.1.5

Super easy ....Super easy to use, the double shot will take some practice. Lots of filers, fades & colours. Can alter your photos. Love it !.McKamoVersion: 3.1.5

IPadPlease add iPad support.YbudokaVersion: 3.0.0

A gem.This app is a true gem. Smart mode works really well. Results look gorgeous. No shady upsells, or filtering of user reviews. Honest product sold by honest dev. This app makes my phone pics look like they were shot with an expensive camera lens, a large aperture and large sensor. Possible improvement: A smooth focus change on floor, going from soft to hard focus gradually, without visible transition. So to sum up: great job, devs!.Brammetje-StolkVersion: 3.1.5

Not bad with practice!I originally give the app a lousy review.....but with a bit of practice I have been able to turn out a couple of decent pics. It does work in the manual mode, have not had a chance to try to master the auto mode. Will update when I try,.Amcint58Version: 1.2.0

Brilliant Photo AppEasy to use, and desirable effect. Remember, the after focus, not the adjust focus which is a money wasting App..Eluchil.LinVersion: 1.4.0

:DGreat app good for people who like to mess with pics.Yepp its meVersion: 1.2.1

Love what it doesThis app does exactly what it says and it's really easy to figure out. The controls are easy to use and to navigate and I like the added feature of filters (which aren't really necessary I this type of app). Only suggestion at this time: if there is some way to redesign the app icon, please do so. It's pretty ugly. Not the most important thing bit still, if it's sitting there on a homescreen it's better if it looks good..CjazzyVersion: 1.2.1

AfterFocus Negative Reviews

Wasted potentialThis app is too crude. The option to adjust the feathering is lame. The transitions from blur to focus are so harsh that regardless of the effort the final product looks like a cutout pasted onto an overly blurred background. It's a cheap attempt to create a DSLR effect but it is ultimately an exercise in frustration. Not even worth a dollar. I am a photographer and I enjoy taking photos with a variety of prime lenses. This in no way resembles the effect of a real camera..ArtistdocNYVersion: 3.1.5

Ruins quality of photosThis app has the potential for great photo editing but no matter what setting I put it on it uploads the photos already slightly blurred. Basically running the quality of any photo uploaded into it. So waste of time and money..LoveMy2KBsVersion: 3.1.5

Turns photos grainyI like the vignette option and the focus/blurring options but I don’t know what as soon as I upload a picture to edit it, or instantly turns my photo grainy. Very annoying. I would love it otherwise.Itsyou'renotyourVersion: 3.1.5

Degraded photo qualityI used to like this app, but after the latest update it only allows for uploading and saving photos at a reduced quality (max 2048 px). Will be looking for a better app now..Resu427Version: 3.1.5
