Don’t waste your money
Waist of money yearly subscription 20,000 coins for the whole year picture 400coins video 600 pictures don’t even look like you have to edit multiple times to kinda look like you each edit is 200 coins then asks you to buy more coins because you spend all 20,000 for the whole year in less than a week. Absolutely absurd.
Don’t buy
If you upgrade you don’t get 20,000 points that it states states.
idk

Waist of money
The photos look nothing like in the picture
Pictures come with other woman faces
No more comments, need my money back.
It’s a scammm 😡😡😡😡
I’m not gonna pay 7$ just to make pictures hell no and then it cost 400 coins to make the pics it’s a no go for meeeee 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
Does not look like the person
I uploaded good clear photos and none of the ai photos look like me. You have to pay for the app AND purchase coins inside the app for photos. Not worth it when the photos do not even look like me. Photos are useless.
Photos will be entirely different people
Title says it all. It’s really expensive to get photos that are actually different people and not you at all.
Garbage
This app sucks
Sucks on ppl of color
Does not get black features well constantly messes them up no matter HOW CLEAR photo is struggles to recreate with written details don’t use if black
Fatal App
Me cambia el rostro, nada parecido a mi, intenté hacer unas 5 imágenes diferentes intentando probar, y luego empezó a cobrar más dinero porque supuestamente necesitaba monedas para poder usar la app! Estafa total
Don’t waste your money
Results are terrible and you need coins at an additional cost to make photos. Worst app I’ve ever spent money on.
Hate it
Paid the weekly thing for nothing, photos do not look like me or anyone else I tried it on. I want my money back especially since not one photo looked right
wrong pictures of the person
the person doesn’t even look like me
don’t waste your money
it charges you for everything & the pictures aren’t accurate at all and it charges you to try again.. use google gemini instead
No couple photos as advertised
This app advertise couple AI photos. It doesn’t exist.
Keep your money
Does not generate anything that you upload properly. Faces are a complete stranger. Waste of money
Done wrong
You have to pay to correct your free one that is done wrong ! That is so dumb
Don’t do it
You have to pay before you use it.
Poor Quality
Not as advertised. The videos on advertising are not even available.
Do not buy.
Doesn’t look like me at all. Horrible work.
Horrible results
Doesn’t look remotely like me. Body proportions are off.
SCAM!!!
Horrible! The teeth shows to be ai in a REALLY BAD WAY! Also doesn’t look anything like me in two out of the 3 videos I did! Stole $7.99 because I cancelled right after! DO NOT BUY!
SCAM
I paid $7.99 for the weekly subscription, which already felt expensive, but then I realized you still have to buy coins just to use the app. A single picture costs about 400 coins and a video costs around 600 coins. If the result comes out wrong, you’re expected to spend another 200 coins just to ‘fix’ it and it doesn’t even fix it.
Then I checked my purchase history and it’s even worse. The $7.99 subscription actually charged me $8.64, and the $3.99 coin purchase became $4.31 with extra fees. I ended up paying $4.31 for ONE picture and another $4.31 for ONE video and the picture didn’t even look like me.
So not only are you paying a weekly subscription, you’re also paying per project, plus hidden extra fees on top of that. That’s honestly ridiculous and feels like a complete scam. Deleted the app + unsubscribed the same day.

Don’t buy it
Ai match is not accurate at all and it charges for everything
Photo
It’s not accurate
Total scam!!!
You pay with the assumption of creating unlimited photos until it’s time for the subscription renewal….NOPE. I paid for the subscription and created all of ONE photo and the app is asking for MORE money now to do a SECOND photo
Don’t do it!
The ai videos that are shown in the ads are not what’s available. There are only a few options.
Unsatisfied Customer
None of the features they advertised are even available. The output doesn’t look ANYTHING like me! Save your money!
Scam ‼️‼️‼️
I paid to use app 8 dollars for the week and it still wants me to pay more within the app to get coins to be able to use it ?? I already paid for the subscription!!! Let me use the app !
Not what I expected
This is a money magnet! Make 2 pictures and it asks for more money 😡
All the bugs. Don’t download.
I downloaded this and when filling out my gender. The continue button does not work. Super disappointed.
Bad app
Ужасное приложение
Whats the point?
Why subscribe to an app then have to pay for coins? Makes no sense, definitely scamming people, this app dont even deserve a 1 star, sorry not sorry.
Scam
Images appear fake and in order to create what you want you have to pay extra
Trash
No other editor app has so many charges with each click. Don’t worry about improving anything if you’re going still charge “coins.”
They won’t allow to use it
The ai image look bad they charge 7.99 dollars and it’s bad
Pay-walled Scam
Pay to play, ai is mediocre. Avoid at all costs.
SCAM
Please don’t buy! You’ll have to pay more than just subscription and photos are so not real!
Nope
A joke seriously….spent $8 just for it to make a fool of me…so much fun thanks.
Scam ! Does not produce anything that looks like you waste of money
I want a refund this app sucks worst one yet !!! False advertisement
Junk
Non of the human photos looked even close to the original photo. Worst photo app of 2026.
Disappointed
Photos look nothing like me and to fix it's just a money grab.
D.D
The app changes the face too much and makes you look like a completely different person.
Horrible
Picture are way off
Scam 5 try and never come back good
Scam don’t waste your money and time
Selfie with blue hair
Looked nothing like me! I don’t recommend to anyone
WASTE OF MONEY
Do not bother paying for this app..you have to pay for each video/photo generated, on top of already paying for the app. Tried making som AI videos and not only did it take all night to generate, the results are nothing as advertised. Complete waste of money!
No me gusta para nada las ediciones ya que no se parecen en nada
0 de 10 no me gusta chat gpt lo bae mejor
No lo recomiendo
Rate de hacerme con esta app una foto de mi cumple, no las deja 100 por 100 tu rostro, te cambia mucho y solo se pueden hacer como 4 y tienes que pagar de nuevo si quieres mas , mas la semana o lo que hay as comprado . Super decepcionada
