This issue has been fixed in the 1.1.8 update. We really appreciate your feedback. It helps us make the app better. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-11-11* I have tried several upscaling Apps, this is the best. Enhances faces breezly and with greatbresolution without distortions. Continue developing this app it has great potential ### 5/5 — Worth having to improve images *2025-11-02* Surprised at the improvements this app can make to image quality ### 4/5 — Photo editor *2025-10-29, version 1.1.6* Beautiful app But expensive, Will subscribe on a good day ### 5/5 — Works well, room for improvement *2025-10-26* So far, I like this app. It does what it says. I have found that on iPad OS, there is a bug with deleting photos, but after I contacted the dev, learned that it will be addressed in an update. 4.5 stars. ### 5/5 — Enhance beauty *2025-10-26* Please add enhance face ### 4/5 — Good *2025-10-26* Good app ### 5/5 — Hi *2025-10-25, version 1.1.4* Good ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2025-10-25* This works well around the eyes. Background remains blurred. I tried this on many early 1900s photos. **Developer response:** Hi! Yes, that’s expected - UpScale mainly improves faces, while leaving the background soft. I’m currently experimenting with old photo restoration and colorization. My other app AuraLens (AI photo editor) already has this feature. Over time, I’ll bring that capability into UpScale as well. For now, UpScale is fully offline, so it focuses on face enhancement. Thanks for trying it! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Fast with Great Results *2025-10-25* I thought the original picture was pretty good. This made it even better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Free trial *2026-05-03* The app charged me and the trial didn’t work, i would either like my money back or atleast just another trial **Developer response:** Hi, I’m sorry about this. I can’t check purchase details from a review, but I’d be happy to help. Please email me at alexandr.graschenkov91@gmail.com, and I’ll look into what happened with the trial/charge. ### 1/5 — 卡死 *2025-12-10* 添加照片进去，编辑不了直接卡死是什么原因 **Developer response:** 谢谢反馈！可以麻烦您发邮件到 alexandr.graschenkov91@gmail.com，并附上截图/录屏，标注是在哪一步卡死的吗？我们之前没有发现类似问题，想尽快定位并修复。谢谢！ ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-11-18* So was 5 stars. Now says image restoration error http 500 error. Tried reinstalling. Still doesn’t work v **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your message. The issue was caused by a one day server outage, but everything’s been working fine for the last few days. Please try again, it should work normaly now. ### 1/5 — فيه مشكله *2025-11-02* لا يشتغل .. لا يستحيب ### 1/5 — lừa đảo *2025-10-28, version 1.1.5* update lên gói pro xong giờ nó remove bắt mua lại ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-10-27* I spent hours trying to upscale a video because it takes forever. I’ve it finished crashed with 1 second left. Second try it finished but gave me an error when trying to save and could not save it. 3rd , 4th, 5th time and still didn’t save. 6th time I got it save only to be disappointed that it was hardly any better than the original. Trash app ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2025-10-25, version 1.1.4* I tried to UpScale a 21 minute video. I did as the instructions provided and kept the app open all the time without closing it or going onto any other apps. The end result after three days was a video that couldn’t even be played. I will now have to try and upscale that video again. So far, I’m not impressed. I found out you can only upload five seconds of video and only upscale one photo a day. I don’t see why there are those ridiculously stupid limitations. I will be looking for a better app than this. ### 1/5 — Rate *2025-10-25* Remini is best . I think it’s upscale ai not working . **Developer response:** Hi! Remini is great, I agree. My app focuses on offline upscaling and fixing slightly out-of-focus faces (I originally built it for my wife’s reportage photos). If Upscale AI isn’t working well on your image, could you share your result with me at alexandr.graschenkov91@gmail.com? I’ll take a look and see how I can improve it for your case. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Utazakinje *2025-10-25* It doesent work **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry about that. I’ve just released version 1.1.5 with multiple crash fixes - please update and try again. If something still doesn’t work, email me at alexandr.graschenkov91@gmail.com and I’ll help. 🙏 ### 1/5 — Crashed on first attempt *2025-10-24* Crashed on first attempt **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for letting me know. I’ve fixed this issue in the latest update 1.1.5 - please update the app and try again 👍 If it still crashes, feel free to send me the photo you used to alexandr.graschenkov91@gmail.com - I’ll check it 🙏 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-03* Grateful to you. ### 5/5 — Consistent Local Upscaling Performance *2026-08-02* I’ve been using UScale, formerly known as UpScale, as my go-to offline photo upscaler for quite some time now. It’s particularly useful when I don’t want to make any edits or have already completed my editing and simply need a higher resolution. I started using this iOS app back in October 2025 via Reddit, when it became available for free for life for a short period, and it has consistently met my expectations. 
From time to time, I’ve encountered a situation where I come across a trial limit notification. After I manually select the ‘restore purchase’ option, the app updates to show the message ‘Your Pro is active.’ This experience has been a bit inconsistent, as it seems to resolve the trial limit issue, but it would be great if this process were smoother and more reliable.
 UScale stands out as the perfect solution for enhancing and upscaling both photos and videos with professional quality. The advanced local AI technology it employs truly delivers stunning results, and I appreciate the assurance that my data remains completely private throughout the process. Overall, UScale has proven to be an invaluable tool in my photography workflow. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-07-01, version 2.1.4* I can say Outstanding. ### 5/5 — Outstanding app *2026-06-04* I really love this app. It does so many different things and the quality of work it does is amazing. Totally worth it. **Developer response:** Hi Pamela, this truly made my day - thank you so much 💛 I’m really happy you’re enjoying the app and the results. Feedback like this is exactly what keeps me improving it. ### 5/5 — I’m back. *2026-05-25* I noticed that the app works great again. I’m renewing my subscription. **Developer response:** We’re very sorry for the inconvenience. We had server issues for about half a day, which caused HTTP 500 errors for some users. The problem has now been fixed on our side, so you don’t need to update the app. Please try again. Upscaling should work normally now. Thank you for your patience, and we’d be happy to have you back. ### 5/5 — Улучшает фото *2026-04-21* Действительно работает. Улучшала фото после nanobanana, качество улучшилось в разы **Developer response:** Спасибо за такой отзыв! Тоже пользуемся для улучшения фото после NanoBanana ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-04-06* 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-02-20* I have tested hundreds of apps and this one I’m really impressed with the overall outcome of video and image quality ### 5/5 — Outstanding app *2026-01-30* I really love this app. It does so many different things and the quality of work it does is amazing. Totally worth it. **Developer response:** Hi Pamela, this truly made my day - thank you so much 💛 I’m really happy you’re enjoying the app and the results. Feedback like this is exactly what keeps me improving it. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2026-01-07, version 1.2.0* All I can say is Wow!
