Phocus Reviews

Best tool camera app out there

Xalaxyx on

Canada

The absolute best !!!!

Hilariously terrible

matthewdeaners on

Canada

I don’t know what algorithms they are using to detect depth but the effects are hilariously bad. Just try it (make sure you cancel the trial) - the blur around foreground people/objects is not realistic in the slightest. Not worth your time.

Doesn’t work

Paid for the subscription and the portrait mode doesn’t even focus on objects properly, thanks for wasting my money.

Garbage

Sebas s on

Canada

I though I was able to take portrait mode instantly as soon as I bought the app, I had to pay 5 dollar for this, then if I want to take pictures in portrait mode, I have to pay another monthly or year fee... don’t download it. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Works great

Good product but over sells

GBripped off on

United States

I like the product, it works well but they keep asking me to subscribe to a lot of other junk I don’t want. It is obnoxious.

You MUST pay to use in any capacity
