Making someone look like the picture that you supplied
They do a horrible, horrible job with taking someone’s photo and putting it into a background. The person never looks like the person that the picture you provided. Horrible job

This morning
I decided Pay and it more confusing than ever
★★★★ toolmaker2 6/11/2026 v5.9.0
Scummy App
I was poked when the thing arrived, but I realized that every single thing requires a subscription. you can only go on ChatGPT 5.5 mini.
★★★★ Cami1123! 6/10/2026 v5.9.0
Money hungry.
The app developers have decided that you paying them weekly is simply just not enough, they now have a “pro” mode and cut off several AI models so you have to go from paying 6.99 a week to 99.99 a month to use TWO AI versions when they previously were working with the first subscriptions. And they don’t have a weekly option anymore for that either mind you. Right when people are struggling for money they make a study tool more expensive? And half the time the app doesn’t work anyway.
★★★★ Mahogany oak 6/8/2026 v5.9.0
Everything is a nickel dime you
Don’t like this app. They make you pay the $14.99 then take through the menu then hit you with another $5? for more what they can do-images. For that I want out. Be transparent at the beginning. Your app sucks!!!
★★★★ MrReviewguy. 6/6/2026 v5.9.0
The worst app I’ve ever seen.
This is actually a trash app, first off all, most things need to be “plus” or “pro” and most of the models are locked behind a paywall and second of all, it’s basically just a ChatGPT copy, third of all, it only lets you have like 1 model, and you can’t even generate any videos without needing plus or pro, I actually despise apps like this.
★★★★ Lita Trish 6/2/2026 v5.9.0
Paywall
No free like grok was you get immediate? Pay wall
★★★★ Alfred.Lake 6/2/2026 v5.9.0
Does not work
Try to cancel subscription and can’t
★★★★ Fuggit1 5/30/2026 v5.9.0
Terrible Ai
This version is terrible I feel like I was taken advantage of. Offers me no help with my problems.
★★★★ Kaveh Nik 5/29/2026 v2.3
No creative studio on the desktop version????
Why am I missing the creative studio option on the desktop version of this app? Very frustrating.
★★★★ Dduu11 5/28/2026 v5.9.0
Обманывают с моделями
Пишут что клауд опус 4.6, но по ответам это явно не она) спрашиваю у нее напрямую название, признается что это Хайку)) меняю на соннет и переспрашиваю, говорит соннет) меняю назад и снова хайку, так что это точно не ошибка. Не платите мошенникам. Лучше купите подписку перплексити, тоже самое, но в месяц выходит дешевле так еще и не обманывают!
★★★★ NurseAJ757 5/28/2026 v5.9.0
Credit based! Useless!
This app is a complete waste of time. It advertises itself as an AI video generator but the credit system is extremely stingy - you burn through the tiny amount of free credits in literally two or three generations and then you’re stuck. The output quality is mediocre at best, the interface is clunky, and it’s clearly just another cash-grab wrapper around someone else’s AI model. Save your time and don’t bother downloading it. One star.
★★★★ ace2119 5/27/2026 v5.9.0
Garbage
Trash
★★★★ Paul574 5/26/2026 v5.9.0
Cashgrab.
Requires money to do anything on it, and probably makes it hard to cancel the free trial, 1 star.
★★★★ Mom and Pop business 5/22/2026 v5.8.0
Charging me for something I did not request
Scam!
★★★★ CapnTed 5/22/2026 v5.8.0
Login is difficult
Have been paying for weeks but unable to use it. Should have saved my $
★★★★ ציפור חופשייה 5/20/2026 v5.8.0
This is terrible. It is worse than ChatGPT. I think it’s owned by ChatGPT.
I tried to cancel and terminate, but they make it so hard because they are criminals and they don’t want to help you. They wanna keep your money but give you poor service. I hate this. Platform.
★★★★ Katt215 5/20/2026 v5.8.0
New customer
I keep getting error messages, spent for yearly plan nothing is generating, then spent an add’l $19.99 thinking it was me, please fix this
★★★★ Danita me 5/19/2026 v5.8.0
Wrong answers
It doesn’t work! Don’t waste your money! They don’t speak English
★★★★ ProPhotog-California 5/19/2026 v5.8.0
Very Disappointed!
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY PURCHASE. Not a single image result has returned with anything I have requested in my prompt. I have even supplied photos for reference and I receive images that in no way reflect anything I’ve asked for.
I absolutely regret my year long subscription and want my $49 back! WORST APP I have ever carelessly purchased.
I’m returning g to GROK.
★★★★ David.Ryan.Versluis 5/19/2026 v5.8.0
This is a scam
I selected the 7 day free trail and was immediately charged 85.99 for a year subscription. Didn’t even get to try this app prior to being billed what a scam they just steal your money highly do not recommend
★★★★ Susy-1 5/18/2026 v5.8.0
DONT BUY
It’s awful. The other apps are way better for pictures and videos. This markets as one app you pay for and you get the benefit of all the AI apps you have to pay for but they are good and this one plain sucks.
★★★★ Rube408 5/17/2026 v5.8.0
Terrible
This is app does not work very well at all
★★★★ COLOR504 5/17/2026 v5.8.0
Use to be great but now no longer worth the price.
This app was get when a user would pay $49 for 50,000 credits. Now you want someone to pay $69.99 for 5,000 credits a month when each 8s video requires 2,000 credits per video. Sorry I won’t be patronizing this app anymore and definitely deleting it for my iPhone.
★★★★ VR2.1 5/16/2026 v5.8.0

This app sucks

★★★★ App_Review11-1 5/15/2026 v5.8.0
False Advertising
False advertising get this off the App Store it said it was free and yeah it’s bad TRIED TO COST ME 19.99 dollars when I opened the app.
★★★★ Jake0005 5/14/2026 v5.8.0
BS
Can’t turn the notification off that the chat has finished
★★★★ corolla89 5/14/2026 v5.8.0
Bad
I gave it a bad review only because they try to overcharge you for everything to do on this app. It would be a great app if it was a fair price but to be paying this much money just for an AI service I think is ridiculous.
★★★★ Kingdaddy6212 5/14/2026 v5.8.0
False advertising
I opened the app and it said free trial then pay after 7 day trial is over and it wants me to pay before the 7 day trial false advertisement
★★★★ Jim Duped 4 Now 5/12/2026 v5.8.0
Image creation
The app was not transparent about the limitations in image creation and how to efficiently minimize credits used.
Why would a personal user subscribe to an application that requires additional credits be purchased. The three day trial was more like a half hour before my prompts used up the ability to test the application.
Will not be subscribing
★★★★ Nx2c 5/11/2026 v2.3
Overrated and Undelivered
Expensive app with little results
★★★★ Chriseft 5/10/2026 v5.8.0
Terrible
Do not download! Useless and doesn’t give a free trial. Charged me $70! Literally does nothing !
★★★★ Obright79 5/8/2026 v5.8.0
It’s hard to cancel
It won’t let me cancel my subscription
★★★★ Cam-ren Jonez 5/7/2026 v5.8.0
Not the same
This app might have all platforms in one place, but the restrictions are insane. I’m not asking this app to answer or do anything crazy, almost everything is against guidelines. I’ve purchased some of the apps that ChatNow has and THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. Save ur money and thank me later.
★★★★ Mr. Rosemarie 5/4/2026 v5.8.0
No
This just sucks

★★★★ DSMI DJS 5/1/2026 v5.8.0
Disappointing
On initial use not as effective as ChatGBT and requires credit purchase that was not advertised.
★★★★ BleachBlondeMermaid 4/28/2026 v5.8.0
Nothing under ChatGPT 5.2 is available
The title is a lie. I have a full paid version and it does not offer anything older than ChatGPT 5.2. It also has a mini model and then 5.4 available. I bought it because of the promised “Al Chat Assistant - ChatNow
Al Plus - GPT-4o, Claude
& 10
Al Plus” which I copied and pasted from the title.

+ 10 more in the clipboard copy
