Bought the last MacUpdate bundle in part for this app. And what a waste. It makes me wonder if anyone at MacUpdate vets the software before throwing it into a bundle. The interface is awful, the user documentation is minimal, the app runs slow, and the results are no better than Photoshop's sharpening tools.

Consider the positive review here where the user said they spent a few hours figuring out how to use the software. It took you HOURS to figure out how to use a tool that you spent quite a bit of money on, and you're happy with that? Ridiculous.
I, too, spent a few hours (Most of it waiting for "processing") and I still didn't get results that were anything like advertised. I tried a variety of images, and just for kicks I blurred a black and white check pattern in photoshop just to see if the app could fix it. It did no better than adjusting a contrast slider.

Among the many other failings of this software, it dumps all these little 4k png files onto your HD. Seriously? This is a $100 app, and it can't find a better place to do it's scratch work?

Firstly, I thought it has an A.I. that can apply ‘deblur' like how iPhoto enhance photo with one button, but BackInFocus didn’t has.
Secondly, I thought there will be some simple video tutorial available, but can’t find any even on YouTube.
Lastly, I referred to the developer webpage but the instructions was more of a trial-and-error steps. Great disappointment.

I had a few photos I thought were completely useless and Backinfocus was able to give phenomenal results. I have had no problems running it, no crashes or errors at all. Worth the high asking price. I hope they'll make a version for videos too.

Although I don't used "Back in Focus" for every photo, it is amazing to find that a blurry photo can be improved with this software. This software presents many different algorithms, and strengths of each of them to improve the focus of either the entire photo, or particular areas within the image. The only weakness I found was my own understanding of trying to figure out which sharpening function to use on a particular blurry image, and this leads to a lot of "trial and error" use, instead of looking at the problem area of the photo, and knowing which approach to use to improve it.
