Bright, colorful photos give the best result.

Perfect

I didn’t realize how much I was actually looking for this app until I started using it.

Quick and simple!

Very quick, very easy to use. I do wish the slider started at 0% because some pictures I want just a little blurred, but for creating very colorful blended pictures it’s awesome.

Thanks for making this!

So easy to use and no annoying ads or banners. I like that you can adjust the level of blur.

Couldn’t ask for anything better

As far as a decent phot blurring style of wallpaper system app, this is by far the best one I’ve come across - and it’s 100% free. Big fan of the developer - he’s very talented and puts his heart and soul in his work. I’ve only used Bleaur a few times but it gets the job done hands down no arguments or complaining.
