Inconsistent

I purchased three packs in total, plus a week subscription. I was quite satisfied with the first two pack results! One for my 3yr old son and one for me. The final pack bought was for my wife, whom I had convinced after showing me and our sons results. Upon getting the results for my wife we were both HIGHLY DISSATISFIED AND DISAPPOINTED! Out of 50 total pictures, 5 of them were recognizable! We tried to chalk it up to the AI’s rendition of the pictures given but a good majority of the pictures are a completely different person! It’s not even close! I’ve sent an email out and am waiting patiently for a response. I’m not asking for a refund just a free 50 pack so my wife can try again. I read through the policy and understand that inaccuracies can occur due to a user error or what not but I want to re stress that my wife took the most time and effort to take and upload the best pictures out of all of us. Thank you for the consideration. Will update the rating once I get a reply back.

Hi! Please note that only adults' photos can be used for creating avatars, this requirement is indicated on the screen before loading photos. As for the processing results, we are sorry that you didn't like them. We cannot fully control the work of AI, the final photos may contain inaccuracies, we warn users about this risk before creating avatars. As the pack has been generated already, and we used a huge amount of computer power for it, we can’t redo the avatars or refund the purchase 💔

OMGGG LOVE 💕💕

READ THIS >>> THIS APP IS REALLY GOOD!! I'm so glad you don't have to pay to use the app, although there's locked features you have to pay but you can do most things and it's so wonderful!! I especially love how you can make your photos in cartoon! 💗I LOVE LOVE LOVE this app I will be using everyday!! I would DEFINITELY recommend if you like editing or seeing photos in different style.

TO THE DEVELOPERS:
Thank you so much for making this app!! It's really amazing and I'm so happy now I have an app to change my photos with!! Keep doing what your doing cause I don't think I'll ever be deleting this app!! 💗

First 50 pack of images were great, the second lot I purchased were very very bad quality. Unimpressed to say the least, and I’ll be asking for a refund.

Pretty fun! Needs more package options for AI

I really enjoyed using the magic portraits. Although quite a lot looked nothing like me, there were enough that did to make it just about worth it. But for some themes there wasn’t even one piece in 20 that was recognisably me. Other themes had several. It would be great if you could choose a package of just one or two themes. Customise your package.

Also I wouldn’t pay for the subscription PLUS then pay for the magic portraits on top of that. These need to be available seperate to subscription for me to ever try again.

That said I can see myself doing so if the above were options!

Not worth it.

Not only do you have to pay a large sub fee but then you have pay to generate photos as well. Just greedy developers.

If I could give 0 stars I would

Don’t use the magic avatar thing. I tried it twice and when I say that only 1 in 200 pictures looked like me I am not exaggerating. Almost all of them looked deformed! It says there can be some irregularities or artifacts, but it doesn’t mention that most will come out this way. I used differ pictures each time and still only one came out looking like me. There were more pictures of just bodies with no head than there were that looked like me. I know I have always had an ethnically ambiguous look but 1 out of 200 is ridiculous. I asked for a refund and their answer is “we warned you that irregularities can happen” but for almost all to not even look like a normal human without a deformed face is unacceptable. At this point I’m going to post all the trolls this generated on all my social media as a warning not to waist your money.

Not worth the hype - has as lot of kinks

I current activated the free tried and then started alerting my photos according to the guidelines only to realize it wanted me to pay additional money at the end. I figured whatever $8 is fine so I can make some cool AI photos…oh boy was I wrong. First, off I selected the 200 pack and none literally none of the photos worked out. Some of them have elements that could look like me but the majority of them have eyes that are all wrong random hands/arms that are messed up, swirled or distorted faces. Second, when I saw this I thought oh I must have selected some bad photos let me go back and reselect new ones only to find out they wanted to charge me again to redo the process. This app is a waste of money. The technology has a lot of kinks in it and there is zero transperce in regards to what you are paying for. I just wish there was some way for me to go back and fix the photos I already have then it would be worth the money I spent.

Thank you for the review and your feedback! Since the avatars are generated with AI there's a possibility for certain inaccuracies or artifacts to appear in the final result. To get the best quality we recommend uploading selfies and portrait photos with your facial features clearly visible. Different angles, facial expressions, photos from several locations or on different backgrounds - all this can help make the results more interesting. 🤍 The pricing is shown in the app in the Magic Avarats section. You can also get a 50% discount with an annual subscription!

Cool BUT….

This app is pretty awesome. But, it doesn’t let you save the images in 4K unless you subscribe to the app. That is pretty sketchy since I already paid a premium to generate the images. It only sneaks in that disclaimer when you get to download the images. I love the images and don’t love being deceived into spending more and more money. The cost should be built in or at least presented up front. Also, not as revolutionary as everyone thinks. Many apps (such as Viola) have been turning regular photos into different styles of artistic interpretations for a couple years at this point. However, this is definitely the next level. I am happy with my photos and don’t regret the experience. However the way that they bill doesn’t feel good at all and that is why they lose a star in my review. 👨🏼‍🎤

No free option, “Trial” is a lie

Just a heads up so nobody else wastes 7 minutes downloading the app, signing in with a burner email address, uploading photos of Keanu Reeves as you don’t trust their sloppy Privacy Policy and just want to see the results… you know the kind of thing you do in what’s commonly referred to as a “trial”. As there is no free option.

God knows what the free trial actually grants you.

You upload 20 swiftly downloaded photos of Mr Reeves and it then asks, during your “week-long free trial” to pay £6 onwards to render the fewest images.

I deleted my photos, then account and have developed an instant distrust of any software made by anyone involved with this.

I imagine it’s a success for them given the rating. It’s just very weird of them to charge a monthly fee AND an image processing fee. For the same price you might as well commission a random artist found on your social media platform of choice. At least then you’re getting a genuine one off image and not one of those (which I’m investigating hence downloading this app) fraudulent AI image services that uses copyrighted artists work in its bank of jigsaw pieces they use to make said image.

So yeah pro tip: you want an AI image, even just one to see how it works/looks? That’ll be five quid please in this current micro era where people cant afford to eat. It’s so daft to charge so much for so little.

Eh. Some gems, mostly just rocks.

Firstly, I want to say the Magic AI feature can make some gorgeous pictures. However, a LOT of them looked nothing like me and/or were distorted. The first round I did to 200 pack and submitted around 18 pictures of myself at different angles as requested. I was so disappointed in how many of them were distorted or flat out didn’t resemble me in any way. I’m am a brown skinned Black woman and a portion of these charters were White/Asian, particularly in the Fantasy category. I redid the process again, the 100 pack this time, selecting only 13 pictures with similar poses. I had a much better result however still some sprinklings of distortion and White/Asian women. Also, this app renders teeth strangely. It gave me a lot of snaggles and crowding when my teeth are straight with a few small gaps. So, that was another disappointment. However there are some pictures I really loved so I guess it was worth spending $15 in the trial. Hopefully once the full membership kicks in you don’t have to pay per pack but, I’ll never know because I don’t $50 a year, especially with the fickle nature of the AI feature.
