### 2/5 — Voll mit Fehlermeldungen

*2026-09-02*

Die App ist seitdem letzten Update nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Selbst bei der ersten Generierungen kommt manchmal eine Fehlermeldung „langsamer, aus Sicherheitsgründen bla bla“ Web Version auf Handy oder pc hingegen akzeptabel.

**Developer response:** Hallo! Das tut uns leid. Nach einem Update sollte die App natürlich zuverlässig laufen. Bitte prüfe, ob die neueste Version installiert ist, und installiere sie im Zweifel neu. Bleiben die Fehler, teile bitte Screenrecording, Version und Gerät in unserer Community unter adobe.ly/fireflycommunity, damit unser Team das prüfen kann. Danke! ^LS

### 2/5 — Waste of time n money

*2026-08-31*

Waste of money. Either not creating according to command or creating something else

**Developer response:** Hi there, we're sorry Firefly isn't creating what you expect. We'd love to understand where the results are missing the mark. Could you share a few examples of prompts that produced unexpected outputs and what you were hoping to see instead? If the generated results don't follow your prompts or produce unexpected content, we'd like to understand more. As a workaround, try using more specific prompts with clear subject, style, and composition details. If you want more consistent results, our guide on writing effective prompts may help: https://adobe.ly/textpromptsguide. If the issue persists, please contact us via our community at https://adobe.ly/fireflycommunity with examples or screenshots so we can investigate further. ^RS

### 3/5 — Love it but new app breaking bug

*2026-08-31*

I have been using this app for a few months now and it has been great but for the last week or so it keeps giving me a message, “Slow Down, for security reasons, we limit too many generations in a short amount of time, Please Try Again Later”.  I haven’t used the app in a couple days, why is it giving me this?  Once they fix this infuriating bug I will change the review.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the detailed feedback, and sorry for the experience. That "Slow Down" message is meant to catch unusually rapid generation activity. A couple of things that sometimes help in the meantime: Fully close the app (swipe it away, don't just background it) and reopen it Log out of your Adobe account in the app and log back in — this resets the session. If it's still stuck, uninstalling and reinstalling can clear a corrupted local session cache. If none of that clears it, please reach out to us via our community at https://adobe.ly/fireflycommunity so we can review your account's generation logs and figure out why the limiter is triggering incorrectly. We'd rather fix the real issue than have you wait it out. We appreciate you sticking with Firefly through this. ^RS

### 3/5 — Credit woes

*2026-08-25, version 26.14.1*

App works really well but credits aren’t available for purchase when you run out unless you upgrade. So if I upgrade and run out I can’t use the app? I give 3 stars for that issue being a shoe stopper!

### 3/5 — Reference problem

*2026-08-25*

It is very good like app but have alot issues that feels like is made for kids (no real person as reference images no actions no blood even in anime 2-3d it won’t allow you to put even a robery or if you wanna make an sad anime cant even accept the word grave you must ad an option for filters on or off or even to verify them cs your creations are very limited 😭💔)

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the honest review, glad you're liking the app overall! Some limits (real people, graphic content) are there for safety and won't change. If you want to get more consistent results in the meantime, our article on how to write an effective text prompt can really help sharpen what the model produces: https://adobe.ly/textpromptsguide. Your note about the filtering is heard, and we'll keep working to make the flow feel fairer and smoother. ^RS

### 2/5 — 酷い

*2026-08-25*

ほんとにフツーの画像の一部を削除しようとしたら「読み込めません。」じゃあ別の機能で余計なものを削除しようとしたら、「短時間での大量の生成は制限されています。」
は？笑   まだ一枚も生成できてないんだけど… 逆に何ができんのこのアプリ
今どきAIの削除なんてフリーのサイトでもできるだろ

**Developer response:** 生成削除の際に「読み込めません」と表示されてしまうとのことで、ご不便をおかけしております。 お手元ではどの素材でも同じ問題が起きる状況でしょうか。 検証環境では問題なく作業が行えたため、お手元の環境固有の問題の可能性がございます。 一般的な対処として端末の電源を落としての再起動 ネットワークの再接続 ログアウト/ログイン、 端末自体の容量不足がある場合には容量の確保 １．設定アプリを起動 ２．「一般」から「iPhoneストレージ」をタップ ３．Adobe Fireflyをタップし「Appを取り除く」 を実施 して改善があるかご確認頂き、 改善が見られない場合、アプリの再インストールをお試しください。 お手数ですが、よろしくお願い致します。iku

### 3/5 — War mal die beste App, von wegen unlimitierte Generierungen.

*2026-08-25*

Seit dem neusten Update wird man gedrosselt. Bei fast jedem Bild erscheint der Text: "Langsamer aus Sicherheitsgründen" gut ich habe es am nächsten Tag erneut probiert. Das selbe wieder. 10 Bilder danach hatte ich keine Lust mehr. Echt schade. Ich habe die App damals gefeiert.

**Developer response:** Hallo! Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback!😊 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass du zufrieden bist! Wir sind immer hier, um dir ein großartiges Erlebnis zu bieten. ˆLS

### 2/5 — Why credits?

*2026-08-22*

If this app comes as part of my subscription, why am I given only a certain amount of credits? Shouldn’t I be able to generate based on my subscription? So basically I’m paying a monthly subscription for a small amount of credits that won’t even last a week. Generating often takes many iterations before getting the right outcome. It doesn’t make sense to have this app as a credits based system. How do we know the system isn’t purposely getting it wrong as a way to get more money from the consumer through upgrades for more credits?

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for sharing this feedback. To clarify: credits are tied to compute costs, since each generation uses real processing resources on our end, which is why plans include a set allocation rather than unlimited generations. We know iterating to get the right result can use credits quickly, and that's genuinely useful feedback for us to pass along. To be clear, there's no incentive on our end to make results intentionally worse — that would hurt trust and retention far more than it would help. If credits are running out faster than expected, our team would like to know, as this may indicate areas where we can improve efficiency or provide guidance to help you achieve better results in fewer attempts. We'd also encourage you to share this directly via in-app Help or by contacting us at https://adobe.ly/fireflycommunity, since feedback like yours on pricing and credit structure does inform product decisions. Thanks for taking the time to write this out. ^RS

### 2/5 — ダメだね

*2026-08-16*

問題が発生しましたばかりで、全く使えない。1日試して使用期間前に終了かな。無料使用期間があったので星2

**Developer response:** 問題が発生しましたと表記が出るとのことで、ご不便をおかけしております。 こちらの問題は、生成中に問題が起きる状況でしょうか。 もしその場合、基本の対処として、端末の電源を落としての再起動 ネットワークの再接続 ログアウト/ログイン、 端末自体の容量不足がある場合には容量の確保 １．設定アプリを起動 ２．「一般」から「iPhoneストレージ」をタップ ３．Adobe Fireflyをタップし「Appを取り除く」 を実施 して改善があるかご確認頂き、 改善が見られない場合、アプリの再インストールをお試しください。 お手数ですが、よろしくお願い致します。iku

### 2/5 — Bugs issues

*2026-08-11, version 26.13.0*

I don’t have time to keep writing prompts, stable diffusion, comfy ui anything else but this.

### 2/5 — hit or miss

*2026-08-11, version 26.13.0*

very simple requests work well. However, I asked to add a corn snake to an image and create a very short video and it gave me a video of a corn snake in an entirely different scene. It did not follow the directions.  The bad results still cost me credits. So I have to keep trying and using credits in order to try to get it right.

### 1/5 — Not unlimited

*2026-08-28*

I have the unlimited plan and it worked great during the 7 day trial. However as soon as that period ended (literally the very day) and I switched to the paid plan, I have been blocked repeatedly and receive a “slow down” prompt despite not generating anything for hours. There are also certain peak times in which I get this alert as well. I was told their tech service was looking into it and that it was resolved but that was days ago. Definitely not “unlimited” if there are usage restrictions.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience. We understand how upsetting it is to see "slow down" messages after an upgrade, especially if you purchased an unlimited plan. As a workaround, please try signing out and back in, and avoid using VPNs or network-switching while generating. If the issue persists, please email us at ffandroid@adobe.com with details about the problem, including any screenshots or screen recordings of the error, so we can investigate and assist further. We appreciate your patience and feedback. ^RS

### 1/5 — Premium features far far to expensive

*2026-08-27, version 26.14.1*

The prices for any of the premium features are outrageous and they have cancellation fees through the roof.

### 1/5 — Generation issue

*2026-08-26, version 26.14.1*

Good app, but sometimes generates images that are not what you requested.

### 1/5 — Firefly is way to difficult to work with

*2026-08-26*

Firefly is extremely difficult to work with it is very erratic. It has a mind of its own and it does not take directions very well. It is very very frustrating and Kahn constantly uses up lots of credits and does not give you a new image and ignores the prompts that you give it. I am extremely frustrated working with your app. I am doing the simplest of fashion projects and it is completely useless. I ask it to remove something. It doesn’t and it does something completely different and many of the images I have downloaded that it has created. I put back in to do something else too, to make it easier to work that way, and then it rejects the picture and will not use the picture and says it doesn’t work with this app Orit is against the Apps policies. It’s ridiculous. It created the picture. Very, very, very frustrating and what a rip off I have wasted so much money on credits because the app decides the picture that it created was inappropriate and there’s nothing inappropriate about it. This is absurd such a waste of time and energy. I can’t wait to try a different app.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we're sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how disappointing it can be when Firefly doesn't follow your prompts as expected, produces inconsistent results, or prevents you from editing images that you believe should be eligible for use. We also recognize your concerns about credit usage and moderation outcomes. We want to investigate further and help. Please get in touch with us at adobe.ly/psecosystemcommunity with examples of the prompts and images that caused these issues so our team can review them. You may also find our prompt-writing guide helpful for improving results: https://adobe.ly/textpromptsguide. Thank you for sharing your feedback. ^RS

### 1/5 — 500 credits subscription

*2026-08-23, version 26.14.0*

It supposed to be renewed today and have my 500 refill credits, where did they go? And why you started giving ugly anime figures?! If you continue the way you do I’ll cancel subscription and delete app! Not recommended!

WTF is going on?!!! I canceled f subscription a month ago!!! Why you keep charging me?! For what?! You even hacked my phone and stole money out of my wallet! Refund it now f idiot and stop stealing peoples money!!!!

### 1/5 — Awful at responding to clear prompts.

*2026-08-20, version 26.14.0*

I asked the application to add shallow depth of field to two people by place plants in the distance, several time it place plants in front of and around the subjects: wasting my credits. Sometimes I does the exact opposite to my request

### 1/5 — Very bad experience

*2026-08-19*

Waste of time 
This app doesn’t work as the ChatGPT told me

### 1/5 — 500 credits subscription

*2026-08-12, version 26.13.0*

It supposed to be renewed today and have my 500 refill credits, where did they go? And why you started giving ugly anime figures?! If you continue the way you do I’ll cancel subscription and delete app! Not recommended!

### 5/5 — ADOBE HAS NO SHAME

*2026-08-11*

Adobe practices only gets worse every day. There’s no transparency on how they use your credits, they get used up fast and their subscription fees for all of their applications are ridiculously high. Its AI model is intentionally designed to make mistakes on a loop, make users run out of credits quickly, forcing them to spend more money with the same horrible results.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we're sorry to hear this — this isn't the experience we want. , and we appreciate you sharing such feedback — it matters to us. Credit usage and pricing concerns are valid, and our model isn't designed to fail; we're always improving results. For more clarity on how credits work, please see: https://adobe.ly/GenerativecreditsFAQ. ^RS
