Be careful, it’s a scam
I purchased the weekly plan only to generate a few photos and I hit a limit. Now I have to pay to generate more. The photos look nothing like me and the hands, let’s just say it screams AI. I also was looking for a specific photoshoot that was advertised on fb but it was not there. So also they false advertise!
Doesn’t work!
I wanted to see how the AI Twin worked. I selected my picture and then the voice (don’t know why you can’t use your one voice???) then I wrote what I wanted to say, hi this is my name, welcome to my site. If you have any questions, let me know. That’s all I said, and it didn’t generate the video. All it said was inappropriate content!!! Absolutely ridiculous! Don’t waste your time on this app!
Fake
You have to pay before you even see what it can do after you pay you will be disappointed
Disappointed
Should at least offer a few free styles to try to see if you like what the apps about.
Not much to show
Need more features free features to try like 5 free tries
Pure scam
Scam don’t ever trust it or pay any money.
Money trap
I’ve never cancelled a subscription and removed an app faster. I also very rarely take the time to write reviews. This app has no free trial, just a $2 discount on a WEEKLY subscription that’s literally the same price of other apps’ MONTHLY subscription. You get virtually NOTHING with the subscription each month. The two free photo shoots made me look like an owl with how bad my neck was contorted, and you have to spend another $10 to get 10 more photo shoots that may or may not come out the same exact way. So you’re spending the price of the WEEKLY subscription to get more things the “Pro” version should have already. The edits are trash. Probably the worst example of a money trap app I’ve ever seen. Do better.
Not what you think.
There is no free trial, its 9.99 your first week with a limit of 2 photos per week, and the ai model is not very accurate so it ends up being a money grab

Not Worth it
You pay $9 just to access and only get a few credits to try features before they ask for more money.
Deceiving and low quality
This app tricks you to purchase and doesn’t allow you to use the subscription. The 2 generations they give were unusable.
Scammers!
I bought a weekly subscription for $10. I made one generation and the app said the limit was reached. Then I bought 30 more generations for $6 and couldn’t use a single one, it just keeps saying the limit is reached. So basically I paid $15 for one generation.
Absolutely Furious
I bought 1 week of this to try it out, and got a whole three AI photo scenes before it tells me I’ve “reached my limit for the week.” If I pay a subscription for an app, then I should be able to use it as much as I want. I had no idea that there was a 3 AI scene limit per WEEK! What a ripoff. I never would have purchased this knowing what I know now. I’m out ten bucks and feel like this is a total scam. Shame on you guys.
Predatory App
App does not mention being a subscription based service until you attempt to upload pix. Stealing your likeness and data…let the chat know about the class action suit on Reddit ✅
Do not purchase!!!!
Apple should remove immediately from the store. This is using horrible tech to trick you into thinking you can create cool images.
Terrible
My lower arm was a different color than my upper arms and my hand were misshapen. Cancelled
Terrible results
Was a waste of $10. The photos were useless didn’t look anything like me.
Little service, money stealing
Payed yearly fee, got 2 photoshoots: 1 with just 1 pick, 2nd with 3 same from different angles. After that wanted to try something else as ai already payed for the year and said pay again 10 bucks as you have no more as I reached my weekly limit!!! Not daily, weekly!!! Do not download this stupid app and mistakenly pay 30 pounds for a weekly 2 picture service what you can get free on ChatGPT with a good prompt! Waist of money! Big time!
Pricing scam
This is a complete scam. No matter If I like the outcome of the images. Paid for a yearly subscription. After generating two images, I’m told I’m out of tokens and need to upgrade again. What exactly did I pay for? A yearly plan should NOT mean two image generation per week. Extremly misleading and feels like a scam. So disappointed.
Kinda a scam
I paid for a year but as I was using it just after two sets of pics generated it said I had used my weekly allowance?!! There was no mention of a limit when I bought the year. Bait and switch. They try to charge you more money after you do the year subscription. Scam.
Rip off
$10 for 6 photos???????? 3 of them didn’t even look like me. What the hell I want a refund.
Very Misleading
I paid the $9.99 for 7 days. It only let me make two images. So it’s not $9.99 for 7 days. It’s $9.99 for two image creations. It’s misleading and a rip off. I cancelled immediately.
Waste of Money
You get one try a week to make it look right if you want more they charge you
Only 10 per week???
You forget to say tha you pay 8 bucks for 10 pictures, and it’s 10 tries not 10 finished products. What a scam
Useless
This app stinks!
Does not work.
I cannot get it to work at all. It’s very difficult to select photos because not all albums are represented in the app. It has processed a number of photographs. It says 5 minutes but after hours no projects are complete. Do Not spend your money on this!
Not free at all, not even for few days
How can I test an application that gives you zero day of free trial. They trick you on thinking that the first week is free while it’s actually paid. Meh
Pay for Subscription but get nothing
You buy the subscription then they limit you to two sets a week. That’s ridiculous
Don’t buy
Complete scam and trash
You stole my money
I signed up for what was clearly advertised as a free trial and canceled immediately because I had no intention of continuing the subscription. Despite canceling right away, I was still charged. Even worse, the confirmation email I received was changed to show that I was charged for the trial, which was not the agreement when I subscribed.
This feels extremely misleading and dishonest. A free trial should be exactly that, free, especially when a user cancels immediately. Changing or presenting the terms differently after the fact destroys trust and makes it look like customers are being tricked into paying.
Transparency matters. If you advertise a free trial, honor it. Charging people who cancel immediately is not acceptable and reflects very poorly on the integrity of the service.
I strongly advise others to be very careful before signing up. Take screenshots of everything because the terms you see at signup is not the same ones reflected after you are charged.

Felt like I got scammed
First there is no free trial. You pay $10 for a week then they subscribe you monthly and charge $12 just 7 days after you paid $10.
Next trick, I tried it for
3 images to generate. They were bad like they copied and pasted my head on a background. And then, after 3 images they said i reached my limit but could pay more for additional bad images.
Save your money and time this app is a waste. Sus even.

DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS APP
Possibly the worst photo results you’ll ever get - comically ridiculous really! What a waste of money! Don’t say I didn’t warn you
Just another app
I always feel if if a app is very good a free complete trial is a free complete trial. Haven’t to pay before you try. The app is ridiculous.
Deceptive Pricing / 10$ for 2 shoots
1 star - and honestly, I wish I could give less.
I feel completely misled. I paid around $10 for one week, thinking I was getting a chance to actually try the app. Like any normal person, I downloaded it to explore, test it, and see what it could do. Then on my third photoshoot, I got hit with a limit warning and found out I had basically already used up what I paid for.
So this can effectively be $11 for 2 photoshoots.
That is absurd.
What makes it worse is that this limit was not clearly made obvious upfront. If you are going to charge people, be honest about what they are actually buying. Do not wait until after payment, after excitement, and after people start using the app to suddenly show the restrictions.
That is not just disappointing - it feels deceptive.
I am far less upset about the money than I am about the dishonesty. A good product means nothing when the business behind it makes customers feel tricked. I will never trust this app again.

Desde el comienzo, te pregunto si te gustó
Cómo diablo voy a decir que me gustó si te hace suscribirte a una membresía de $10 sin tan siquiera aprobarla qué tal que resulta que pagas $10 por una ia qué es lo que haces es una mierda
Not what I thought it would be
I purchased this for one year. 40 bucks. I tried it three times and found out that I would have to wait a week to take three more or pay 9.99. What a croc of you know what. I tested one picture of my mother and the photo shoot did NOT even look like her. I thought what a great thing to do as she is suffering from end stage cancer to have some excellent pictures. Do yourself a favor and look for a better app and deal. I really disappointed.
It’s a Trap
Makes it seem like you are getting 7 Free days of access, but you only get two photos for $9.99. This needs looked into.
Scam
I bought the weekly one and after trying couple of pictures it says I can’t do anymore and I have to buy again. Then why do you even mention 7 days as the unit of measurement when in fact you count number of pictures as the main thing? This is predatory.
Beware
I purchased a yearly subscription only to find out I can only use it once a week (52 times). Otherwise, you have to make additional purchases to use it more. If that isn’t the true definition of a scam I’m not sure what is…
Не работает
Скачала приложение, оплатила 10 фотосессий, сделала несколько фотографий и приложение перестало работать. Уже и удаляла и перезагружала и переустанавливала. Но так ничего не заработало, очень жаль, а оплаченные фотосессии сгорели
False Advertising
Downloaded directly from TikTok. Ad said I could use for an AI twin, just upload a photo and add a script to create a video. The app ONLY offers templates so that is quite impossible to do. No free trial so I paid for the first week before being able to find that out.
Horrible
Bought a package to get and extra 10 photos. My photos had 3 arms and my video did not look like me. Requested a refund and reported the issue and was denied. Do not recommend at all. Other apps will give you an option to redo without charging and gives you an option to report an issue with the photos.
Amateur hour
It’s not surprising that this app doesn’t have a trial period. Because if it did, it would not make any money. All of the photos look photo shopped.
Fake up
You buying the subscription for a year and can do only 2 pictures for a week. Better delete it and have other better app.
They trick u to pay subscription
They tricked u to pay for subscription only to charge you in app for every little thing
Scam
App tricks you to getting a trial but it’s paid, and apple wouldn’t do anything to refund
Bogus schemers.
I purchased this app on 2/7 and cancelled it on 2/7. My free trial was to end on 2/14. They have been attempting to charge my card ever since. Filing a complaint with BBB and Apple. I’ve asked too many times for them to stop trying to collect payment.
Horrible
I signed up for the 7-day trial and I canceled the same day I downloaded the app because it wasn't worth me paying so just in case I forgot it was canceled within an hour of downloading. I couldn't figure out who continued to attempt to charge my card daily sometimes 3 times a day for $10.81 until I contacted Apple support and confirmed it was them and they started trying to charge me the same day I downloaded the app. Don't fall for it!! I wish zero stars could be given for the lies just to bait you in!!!
Not worth it at all
This app does not generate good images. Also misleading, you’re only able to generate a few images per week. Which would’ve been good information to know before purchasing. I do not recommend this app.
This is the worst app I have seen so far. Absolute waste of money. Did not do anything like promised
I wish I could get my money back.
