User reviews

Unimpressed

Marketing machine is real, but there are so many pinyin errors and so much sloppy AI art in this app that I uninstalled after five minutes.

It might change in the future, but right now it seems like most of the budget is going toward influencer marketing instead of focusing on quality control and any sort of cohesive vision.
