Phocus: DSLR Portrait Camera

I downloaded this app on my iPad to turn some photos into portraits, and right off the bat I gave it all permissions and nothing worked. It wouldn’t even load a photo so I couldn’t even edit anything. The app crashed multiple times, so I tried downloading it on my phone and trying again on there. It did not work on my phone either. After giving up on it, both devices began acting strangely. Certain apps would get stuck on their opening screens or not work properly. I closed the app and tried again, but that didn’t work. I restarted my phone, but that didn’t work. I deleted the Phocus app and everything went back to normal. I thought it might have been some strange thing on my phone, but the same thing just happened on my iPad as well, except this time it eventually led to the device crashing. I deleted the Phocus app and so far everything seems back to normal. I’m using an iPhone 12 and the iPad Air (4th gen) both updated to the latest iOS version.

I upgraded to a monthly subscription, unlocked the pro features (aperture control, 3D lighting, etc.) and these worked, for about a half hour; when I tried the app again, these features had disappeared, and the app had reverted to its standard, unpaid features. Contacted support, they could not help me (I could not find anything on the app or in the App Store to “restore the purchase”, which made no sense to begin with-I’d just purchased it), I deleted and reinstalled the app (and restored the purchase after this), restarted the phone several times, and swore several times loudly. No luck. Still waiting for someone to respond to me (sent screenshots to support, no response after that).

Make this app a photo extension so you can add the blurt effects right inside the photos app. That would help for the older phones that don’t have the dual cameras etc. to get that blur effect right inside the photos app. I have iPhone SE and I use this app all the time for portrait mode blur. With a little more fine tuning of the auto photo blur , this app would be perfect. Sometimes the app doesn’t separate the person from the background too great. I know it works off of software only. But the google pixel does this with one camera also. Thanks. I hope I’m not asking for too much. I just really like the app and want to see it better.
