Scam app

Scam app, i deleted imediately. I hope this scammers did not managed to get too much data from my phone. I don't trust them, they failed to deliver the trial for me.
When you download the app they say they give you 1 week trial and after you have to pay 40 pounds per year. Once you open the app they ask you to upload 10 photos and the purpose for doing that is to get your avatars included in this one week trial. They wasted my time because at the end of the upload they asked for more money to give me the avatars. What's the trial week for if you ask me for money? Big fail!
I do not recommend this app!

Great feature. Pay wall.

Got a months sub to use the app then found out I have to pay again on top of the subscription to use the AI generator.

I didn’t mind too much because it’s good but think you should be told what isn’t included in the subscription

Not worth the money

The eyes of my avatar in the AI photos are so messed up, pics are blurry as anything, huge waste of money. Very disappointed as I have seen some beautiful creations.

Waste of money.

I subscribed which activated a “free” trial. I then uploaded 20 pictures of myself and I made sure to follow the requests of the types of photos the app needed to process my avatars. The “free trial” requires you pay for each bundle of images so I ordered a pack of 100 images and a pack of 50 images which costed around $10. I only kept 2 that even remotely resembled me. A large amount of the images had my eyes messed up to where you could see the template of where my eyes should have been in the image. The majority of them didn’t even look like me at all. I emailed them and let them know of my results and requested a credit or something to try again. They emailed back telling me that they can’t refund or credit and to try again(pay) for different results and to make sure to send the correct types of pictures which I had done to begin with. Complete waste of money.

Free trial you have to pay for avatars.

Don’t offer me a free trial and then tell me I have to pay for the avatars, that’s literally antithetical to what a free trial is. Guess I won’t be using this, I’m not spending money on something when I can’t verify the quality of the product before hand. Maybe offer people a low resolution sample of the avatars is they don’t want to pay, but don’t expect people to pay when presented with a free trial. What a scam.

No surprise it’s by Prisma under a different name. This has been reported to the Apple Store and if it isn’t remedied by them then there will be contact made to the trading standards commission.

Horrible app that make you look distorted and creepy

I am so upset right now because I’ve paid twice, first time for the 50 ai generated photos, and they were beyond bad (I followed instructions to a T) so I paid for the second tier, the 100 photos and really scrutinized over what I uploaded so they would turn out better- and it was even worse. I have arms and things growing out of places they shouldn’t be, and one eye will be fine but the other not at all- it’s like it was on purpose so that you keep paying until you get something. It feels like a complete scam! Then there are photos that seem ok- but I am lighter skinned and have different colored eyes, and my face and body look nothing like me…. I feel like this is a bit racist not going to lie! And guess what- you don’t get your money back? Well this is not ok. I don’t care- it seems as though the app is made to make darker skinned people feel bad about themselves.

Ai avatars

I downloaded the app to try out the ai avatar thing going around. It didn’t let me use the app for the free version so I had to pay the full annual cost of the app which I wasn’t intending to do, I did two rounds of the 100 avatars and honestly you guys have a lot of work to fix on this app before you are charging anyone. Pretty much every single picture curated is completely ridiculous and looks deformed.. to the extent where I have three arms and one coming out of my armpit, my face is swiveled and twisted.. it’s just disappointing when you are paying for something and there is nothing to tweak or adjust to fix the errors (which are seemingly very big errors.) I wouldn’t waste my money on this yet until they have managed to fix the tweaks and support with the app. Love the idea of this truly as it will inspire a lot in the real world I feel, however launch a test and see what you need to fix before asking customers to pay and also don’t constantly change the costs day to day. Hopefully you guys can fix this so it’s more pleasurable to use and not a just a bunch of deformed avatars

Response from developer

Hello! So sorry that you didn't like the processing results :( We cannot fully control the work of AI so the final photos may contain inaccuracies. We warn users about this risk before creating avatars. If you decide to give Magic Avatars another try, here are some tips that will help you get better results. We recommend uploading 20 selfies that follow these conditions: - don’t have a strong retouch and bright makeup. Although, if you feel like adding a slight retouch, you can try Magic Retouch in the app :) - your face can be seen clearly from various angles and you’re making different facial expressions - photos are from several locations or on different backgrounds Thanks again for sharing your impressions! 🤍

Don’t waste money on magic avatars

The free cartoon filter was great. Brilliant results and will use again. Even if I only get 3 a day.

However, the paid for AI produced ‘magic avatars’ were honestly awful. My eyes were different shapes on different parts of my face. Never ventured correctly with the rest of the bodies. The whole things didn’t line up with the photos they created.
I wish I could attach a photo so you can see yourself before you pay too.

I will keep the app for the free editing features as they’re great and I can’t fault them.
However, I feel bad about spending £3.50 on 50 photos (all of which are unusable due to the face not being centred correctly)

I assume it’s to do with the photos that were selected to be created, but I followed their steps and they still turned out awful.

Not worth it at the current price point

I’m much more reluctant to use it now that the price went from 4 dollars to 8 dollars. Especially if you don’t really know what kind of images you’re going to receive. I paid for a batch of images when it was still 4 dollars and half of them were just pictures of deformed versions of me not the cool stuff you see people posting online. What they should do is let you see the pictures that the AI creates first but with maybe a watermark all over the image so you can’t just get a clear screenshot with your phone and once you’re satisfied with your results then you can purchase it which will then take away the watermark. That seems like a much more presentable way to encourage people to use the app then just making them guess if images will come out nicely. Also did I say they jacked up the price from 4 to 8 dollars to use the AI once an influx of people started to use the app?

No way to add new photoset for magic avatars

The AI is incredible and the avatars it generated are amazing, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to generate new avatars based on a DIFFERENT set of 10-20 photos if you think that the photos you chose originally were not the best for this purpose.

Currently it’s telling me the magic avatar service is unavailable anyway, so I’m unable to really play around with anything at the moment. Editing individual photos is all I can do now, but that’s something that hundreds of other apps can do. I’m probably going to cancel my subscription before it kicks in unless I can generate new avatars from a different photo set.
