It just needs little changes then it starts it ALL over again and it’s not the same. **Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We completely understand why you'd want to make small adjustments to a generated image instead of starting over from scratch each time. That's a great suggestion, and we can see how it would make the creative process much smoother. In the meantime, you can download the generated image you'd like to modify and use the Photo Editor option in the app to make further changes while building on that image, rather than generating a completely new one. We'll also be sure to share your feedback with our team for consideration in future updates. We're always looking for ways to improve the experience, and suggestions like yours are incredibly valuable. If you have any other ideas or questions, feel free to reach out to us at - hello@caquiapps.io. ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch! Don’t waste your time. *2026-03-31* This was advertised as the #1 free headshot generating app through Apple, but they make you pay and then they don’t even let you make a headshot until you pay MORE. They let you upload your photos and THEN tell you that. Horrible! Total waste of time. **Developer response:** We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — we understand how frustrating that must have been. We never want users to feel misled, especially when it comes to pricing and feature access. Your feedback about the onboarding and upgrade flow is being taken seriously and shared with our team to improve clarity and transparency. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us at hello@caquiapps.io and share a bit more about your experience. We’d truly appreciate the opportunity to assist and make things right. ### 1/5 — Not worth the download *2026-03-29, version 2.5.2* Even the recommendations is useless the variety i want to try out is NOT FREE make it free dont make us pay and use the poor variety are you that desperate for money why all of you ai wannabe wants money that badly??? Explain ### 1/5 — Worst AI app *2026-03-29, version 2.5.2* Instant regret after purchasing ### 1/5 — “Free” trial is a scam. *2026-03-28, version 2.5.2* Free trial isn’t free as it says when you select that option—they actually charge you $0.99. Also, you don’t get access to most of the features. ### 1/5 — Plz go back to how it was *2026-03-24, version 2.5.2* This app was perfect prior to this new update. Now images won’t generate and the animations are over the top. Plz bring back the old version otherwise I will be unsubscribing ### 1/5 — Lame *2026-03-17, version 2.5.2* Could not follow simple, clear instructions. I asked for an American flag with stars erased. Every image generated had stars. ### 1/5 — Never BUY before you try it! *2026-03-17, version 2.5.2* Purchased the gold package, unfortunately I still haven’t generated one picture, everything requires upgrades. Basically, 59.99 buys you nothing! Since I wasn’t able to generate anything, I will contact my credit card. ### 1/5 — FRAUD CHARGING *2026-03-15, version 2.5.2* I canceled my subscription about 4 days before the 7 day free trial expired, now they have started to charge $14.99 week fraudulently. I don’t even have the App on my iphone and Subscription shows cancelled on the IPhone subscription page. ### 1/5 — Poorly designed and fraud *2026-03-14, version 2.5.2* Not easy to navigate. You pay for a subscription and then need to pay for an update to actually used basic features like photo editing. I feel cheated. ### 1/5 — Errors *2026-03-05, version 2.5.0* Many attempts, zero results. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch *2026-03-01* Hard Core bait and switch. The “1 year Gold Plan” that I purchased didn’t exist within days of signing up. I’m now listed under “standard plan” and need to upgrade to use any of the features I had already signed up for. The email address I had originally contacted when trying app no longer exists as well as email address in the “contact us” in app. When the app worked without crashing, it was useful. The shady business practices along with the multiple plans I’ve already paid for give it a 1 star. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback — we truly appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention, and we’re very sorry for the frustration you experienced. What you described regarding the plan status, feature access, app crashes, and difficulty contacting support is definitely not the experience we want for our users. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with the team so these concerns can be investigated and addressed. We’re especially grateful that you pointed out the contact email issue so we can correct it. Please reach out to us directly at hello@caquiapps.io — with more details about your account and purchase. Our team will review your case and get back to you with a solution. We truly appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-02-27, version 2.5.0* No free trial and absolute waste of money when you do pay. Keep your money ### 1/5 — O.M.G. Have you read the terms?

I payed the $59 something for it and it wouldn’t allow me to do much of anything, couldn’t get my money back so I up graded to the $89 with the understanding I would have the 1st charge credited.
