scam ....dont buy
It's a rip-off. They don't tell you that. That you have a limit for a week and if you exceed that limit you have to pay more money. After you've paid your subscription and if you want to change pictures they're charging for that too. It's a rip off.
scam
seen a ad for this app it said try it out when I went to try it out it would not let me try it out I had to pay for it first.. so for that one star
you ask me to pay before you show me what I get .. pathetic! > uninstalling 💩
really horrible app. it took my original photos and made me much older and uglier. disgusting. not worth it the money at all
can generate only 2 pics after subs
tricks you to payment ...dont wast your time..useless
mY SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLATION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO CANCEL BEFORE RENEWAL IN 2 DAYS. PLS CANCEL MY SUSCRIPTION
I paid for the app, then they hit me with a paywall to keep using it.
it's a trojan scam, don't install it.
I never use an App if the first 24hours is not free. having to pay just to test an App is an absolute no go. I uninstalled immediately
it's only works if you pay, no free trial
Scam. Paid the weekly fee and it only allows you to generate 2 photos. It didn't say how many photos you're allowed to generate before paying.
no free try, only stupid people will pay for something before trying it
At least give people a chance to have a look at what this app can do before asking for money. It says try now, I tried, but before it does anything, it asks for money, starts giving you special offers and if I cancel, it takes me back to try now. Let people see what this can do and if happy, satisfied, they will purchase. I don't want to pay as I may not even like it afterwards, so SHOW me first what it can do before charging. Going to uninstall unfortunately
scam no enough info about weekly images we can generate the suddenly you reach the limit for 2 creation only !!!!
Rubbish
Charges a weekly/yearly subscription then limits how many photos you can generate within a 7 day period or you pay to get another photo. not worth it.
poor. you have to pay to use it.
avoid!
underwhelming, low quality, overpriced
5.99 a week only gets you 2 creations? What a rip off! Then the audacity to charge 3.99 for one more? Passsssssass.
Surprise! $39/annual membership fee has weekly limits (less than 5) of photo and video creations. Blocked for 7 days after limits reached unless you pay more $$$$$. Yet another app on road to failure because of greed.
Update Finally got in the app and it says I reached my limit Purchased the app; it downloads an outdated version that won't open any of the available options to generate photos. I go to the Play Store to write a review, and it says there's an update. So I updated, and now I can't keep the app open. It shuts down immediately. There are much better apps out there. You might need to spend a few extra coins, but don't fall for the $15-a-year gimmick after being shown a great AI birthday photoshoot.
You have to pay to use it...I didn't even get a chance to test the App...
I paid $7 for a week of usage. It didn't mention that it was limited only 3 "photoshoot". The images it generated of me added extra deep line around my mouth, closer set eyes, extra cleavage, and weird small mouth expression. I would not recommend
$7.99 a week, two photos edits. Now want me to buy 10 dollars credit for 10 mors? Worst app.
useless unless you subscribe upfront
You must mention that this is only a paid experience without any trial at all
After some time it didnt even let me get in the app. I generated maybe 3 photos and that was it. The app has issues, not worth it and its really deceptive.
paid garbage
pay wall after setup
If you won't even allow me to atleast try your AI, how can you expect me to pay? I can't even test it for even a single picture. Stupid app.
Installed and deleted immediately. It's asking for money before I even get to try anything.
I'm guess it'll be good if you pay for it. I'm not a doctor, but this app is obsolete. Feeling nostalgic about this vending machine gimmick, but this one is more than 0.25 Beyond that, this app is to lure your bank account and have access to your info 🤷
sucks. you make it difficult to cancel too. How good of you.
Very bad app. They don't allow me to try one picture to know how it works. Don't waste your time
literally paid for a subscription but still you have so little limits. just two photos a week. if it's daily it's still acceptable, but you have to wait for a whole week for the reset?? you can't be real. don't be so stingy dev.
totally BS. Doesn't work
produced pictures with 3 hands. Not good. Also keeps charging my card every week and there is no way to cancel it.
🤢
you can't test it without paying. avoid.
Another scam application? Why are there so many such apps in the store? They should double-check it before posting it online.
Doesn't even let you try it for free. I'm not commiting without a test run.
Don't get, can only do 3 photos a week for their cheap subscription
If you are into throwing your hard earned money in the GARBAGE then this app is for you. I was testing with some pictures not knowing I only had 10 generations. That's what you get for the week subscription. I got ripped off and digitally mugged I feel angry. I unsubscrided immediately and I know I won't get my money back.
一次試用機會都不給，拼了命了一直要收費，到底有多缺錢？
Somehow they have subscribed me, and keep charging me a monthly subscription. As I dont even have this app on my phone, nor any log in details I can not cancel subscription. This company is dodgy!!!
Ripoff, pay premium and can only generate like 3 videos, after that they want you to pay more. DO NOT BUY, BEWARE.
