Magic avatars page not loading
I’m a bit frustrated with this app not working properly. The first time I opened up the app it worked fine, I even purchased the $10 package for the magic avatars which I was very impressed with, so I went to purchase another set the next day (today), it charged me but the image uploading screen was taking way too long, so I exited out and now the magic avatar screen won’t load at all. I have attempted to troubleshoot this myself by deleting and reinstalling the app with no success. I cannot access the previous pack I payed for or the new pack. 😞 I feel like I have just wasted $20, I just really wanted it to work because the app is amazing when it works properly.

So I’m a little frustrated with this app at the moment
So I find the photos for the magic AI beautiful. I’ve already spent more money than I’d like to admit just doing it for myself, my friends and family because of how much I love how the photos turn out, but I just went to check on my newest set I’ve purchased and the screen just shows a loading circle with after 5 minutes, nothing loaded. I saw my app needed to be updated so I figured that it would be just that but I was wrong. It’s still showing the loading circle. I’ve spent money each time for each photo set, and not only can I not access the current one the app was working on, but I can’t even access the other 5 I’ve paid for? I feel it’s valid to be upset considering this app charges $8 per 200 photos each time you want to upload even when you have the free trial enabled which is like $38 a year. It’s very pricy, and the problem is I wouldn’t even mind paying that amount if I could get unlimited uploads for no additional charge but the fact that you have to pay each time and as of right now, I can’t even access any of the photos I’ve paid for? You guys gotta figure something out because I kinda feel like I’m getting robbed here. I work hard for my money and I don’t really appreciate having it wasted on something I can’t even access.

Response from developer
Hi! Please open Magic Avatars again – is the pack displayed now? If it is, just wait for the loading of avatars 😉 If it isn't, it will be necessary to contact Apple Support for a refund: https://support.apple.com/contact. We understand that it takes time but we can't process refunds from our side as the option isn't provided to app developers :( Sorry for the caused inconvenience! When your request is considered, you can try to create avatars again 🤍
Bait and switch? Yes but not exactly
The app is free to download, nice, but youre asked to Sub for $40 a month… skip. okay free trial, i dont wanna have to remember to cancel… no x button in sight… wait i hit back and it closed, sweet, actual free use! Pay wall for the AI art… the whole point of the ap.. wait, every feature you would wanna try out is behind the paywall… so this is a normal mid quality photo and video editor unless you pay. just say that then. its free to download to commit people to the process and ask for money when youre almost there. With the usual, ‘free trial, just add credit card’ trap.
.
Honestly, spineless strategy, i hate this company already. Theres plenty of other AI generating companies that have actual free trials, no cards needed, and focus only on the AI and not video and photo editing, AND they dont try to trick you into spending money.
W/o the sketchy bait and switch nature of the app, the actual functions are okay. So they earned the one star at-least.

Fun, but like most AI, can’t handle melanated skin
If you are White, or light skinned, play away. Its a lot of fun. If you are melanated….it’s probably not worth the money.
Unsurprisingly, it works way less well the more melanated you are. I did the 50 picture pack, twice. Maybe 8-10 actually looked like me each time. The rest were approximations at best. The first time I did 15 pictures as reference and it really got my face shape right, the second time I did the full 20 pictures and it really nailed my nose shape. Never figured out my eyes with precision, possibly because of my glasses, though it really nailed those. Never got my lips. Handled Black hair styles surprisingly well, and switched it up a lot, which I tend to do with my hair, so had lots of options there.
If you are White or light skinned, highly recommend. 10/10. If you are melanated…4/10. But was still kinda fun. If you have $ to waste you’ll get a handful of fun avatars.

Want to love this app, but disappointed
First off, it only allows you to select a minimum of 10 photos! Why is there a photo minimum? Never encountered a photo editing app like that. Makes no sense!
Second off, the photo limits are ridiculous! It says it doesn’t allow photo shoot photos, but also says no less than 10 photos, must be same person, variety backgrounds encouraged, variety of head angles encouraged, variety of face expressions encouraged, and no other people in the photos. Then that’s basically a single photo shoot setting. Make it make sense!
Each time I have selected 10 photos of me, different settings, no other people, variety of poses, different background environments, etc. and I would still get that “some of my photos didn’t qualify for the limits. Please select another 10” Seriously! I see many people post their digital art photos edited on here on FB and IG and they looked so cool. I was looking forward to making one of my own photos, but it looks like instead I’ll have to cancel the subscription and delete the app right on the first day I downloaded it. So disappointed! Seriously, get rid of those unnecessary and useless photo limits AND THEN things will be better for everyone!

Overall neat app but poorly created photos
The idea behind creating a fantasy/anime avatar of yourself is really neat but when I paid to get my avatar pictures a lot of them were of really poor quality. I first paid for the 50 pictures then the 100 picture packages so spent a total of $10 for both packages and realized that on 75% of my pictures my eyes are either cross eyed, one is bigger than the other, or the placement of my pupil and iris are way disproportionate to my eye and face. Also on a lot of the generated pictures my hands are deformed, I’m missing fingers on my hands, or my arm is backwards and my elbow is facing forward rather than backward like a normal human’s elbow is lol. Also on a lot of the pictures my face is stretched to make me look fat and I am far from fat! I’m a 5’6” 132 lb woman who is fairly thin. I wish I could upload the pictures I’m referring to because they’re just god awful and look ridiculous.

Cool, but doesn’t really look like me.
I purchased the 100 “magic avatar” pack and found about 13 photos I wanted to used and just sent it through. The results were a little disappointing. I think only 6 truly looked even somewhat like me. So I figured maybe it was user error and that picked the wrong photos to use or not enough so I tried again, purchased another 100 “magic avatar” pack and picked the full 20 they suggest of better photos, that showed my face clearly and from all different kinds of angles. Yet, that attempt yielded worse results somehow. It looked like they took a lot of stock photos and just merged them with mine and it took my defining features away and therefore took MY face away. So, out of 200 “magic avatar” photos, only 18 bear a resemblance to me. Attempting to get a refund because ultimately, did not get what I purchased.

Confused on why you need to pay every time
I saw a friend posted some pictures that look pretty cool too I want to try it out I figured I would try the five dollar one and it turned out OK even though a lot of the pictures did not look like me so I went ahead and bought the 1999 subscription because it said for the year and it described it as a limited even though it said that it was a discount. I then go back to use it again after I purchase the discount I guess and it’s still charging me five dollars for the same exact middle selection and I am confused on why there is not a way to just pay for the app one time a larger fee and be able to use it over and over again for at least a year. If there is a way please let me know and I will change this review otherwise I think it’s pretty silly I got charged 1999 and I am paying the same price I was before.

Slightly satisfied mostly disappointed
I downloaded the app after seeing a lot of friends posting awesome AI creations and wanting to give it a try for myself. For me I paid for 100 photos, which gave me 10 variations in 10 different styles. Followed all the instructions I was given, and understood the AI program isn’t perfect that there might be some artifacts or wonky looking images… Out of 100 photos 5 of them are decent, I have fingers that look grotesque, eyes that are colored incorrectly, or one eye is larger than the other or drooping, faces that are deformed or dismembered, my head either cut off or completely missing in photos. I mean some of these creations could have and would have been awesome if these issues didn’t occur. Just sad to see other people having success and I’m left with so many useless photos, it would be nice if your paying that money if you can have a revision done, where you can have a certain select photos corrected or redone. Like out of 100 photos at least offer to correct 10 of them for free. Otherwise I don’t think you should be charged for something at the stage it’s currently at. I’d attempt to fix them myself but most of these are just far to gone to do anything with. If you do try this app just be prepared for 85% of your photos to be unusable.

Good app but a bit misleading
The features are great, but the highlight of the app is the Magic Avatars that the AI generates, however, I specifically subscribed to make more use of the Magic Avatars, however, it’s a separate individual charge for each time you use the Magic Avatars feature despite the subscription, you’re charged ontop of your subscription, and when I was subscribing there was nothing that was said that the magic Avatars is not covered in subscription. It’s a good app, but it’s a shame, things could’ve been made clearer with what is covered in the subscription.
