Not very good
4x resize is a disaster--everything is distorted when photo is enlarged. 2x is a little better, but still I see things distorted/out of place (sort of like what AI does). Perhaps it's using AI to perform. Anyway, I would suggest taking your photos as RAW/48mp and get it sharp the first time.
Good stuff under the hood!
Check out the developers response to somebody asking in their review….this uses waifu2x and EsRgan (for 4x). so this app has some powerful tools.
pretty amazing (i think 🤔)
i’m going to go ahead and give Smart 5 stars tho in reality it’s probably more like a 4.3. not having access to a computer and in desperate need of enlarging all these wonderful but teeny tiny images i have, i scoured the IOS earth in hopes of finding something. something. everything i tried was garbage and didnt do what was being claimed. then i came across this gave it a try w little expectation and guess what it worked! now i can print my images at a reasonable size and i dont have to worry so much about the resolution output of whatever app i might be using (many of which have a resolution quality that is pretty pathetic, unfortunately).
It has its issues, it takes awhile, it crashes out a lot, a couple times i thought it broke my phone when it got stuck in a major fashion .. but eventually it rebooted r whatever and all was well. There is some talk about it creating artifacts, which if u don’t know is seriously difficult issue for digital photography algorithms where they produce flawed spots in the enlargement, blooming, blurred edges here and there. this might be the case here a bit but im satisfied with my enlargements and really just ecstatic i’m finally able to do it. nothings perfect. hope this review helps those on the search.. in my experience it’s legit and worth a try

Crashes
Does nothing but crashes on iPad during processing stage.
Best solution.
I had a very old, small photo of a pencil drawing and I wanted to enlarge it. Enlarging it was one thing but the pixelation! I tried all sorts of apps to get rid of the nasty blemishes. I downloaded new apps that were recommended and worked with the latest AI. They just enlarged the blemishes and the images were unusable.
Then I suddenly remembered that I had bought this app years ago and found it and it worked. It enlarged the small photo to something quite acceptable. I am so grateful.

When it works…
It’s terrific. But it often doesn’t work!
Great Very Useful App
I originally got this (years ago) for enlarging images. Turns out it’s good for resizing AND for touching up old photos too. It’s great in that it doesn’t reduce the quality of images it processes.
Restrictive
Sure, you can enlarge images, but the app doesn’t let you make them smaller. :(
Artifacts
Apparently it creates artifacts when you use the 4x button. Is this something that is being addressed?
Smart app.
It’s very easy and very good app. Thanks
