### 3/5 — Uncertain terms of use

*2026-04-28*

I’m sorry I paid for pro — after reading the terms thoroughly (now that I unexpectedly like the app enough to want to make a cover), I’m terrified to try to use it for a novel cover. You’re only allowed non-profit use. That smacks of false advertising.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out! You are free to use your own content however you see fit — it's not limited to non-profit use. Reach out to us if you have any other concerns or questions :)

### 3/5 — Quite good

*2025-07-08*

It let me do the cover but not the AI things and I didn’t want to pay.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! You can access bonus credits to access the cover generation feature. Email us if you need instructions.

Hi

### 1/5 — 😡

*2026-04-04, version 3.41*

So i got a credit and payed, but then it made nothing, and every time it works, it is not what I typed in. Sorry, but 2/10

### 1/5 — No Good

*2026-01-30, version 3.41*

After paying my hard earned money the app doesn’t work. So i basically got robbed

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-01-21*

I want my money refunded and cancel any subscription so I can delete app. This app is not capable of editing it can only use ai to create something and it has no settings for full wrap paper back options

**Developer response:** Hello,

I completely understand your concerns and I appreciate you reaching out to us. Our app aims to provide a seamless user experience, and I apologize if it fell short of your expectations. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will take it into account for future improvements.

Email us if you need help requesting a full refund; or we also reimburse any credits you've used. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you further.

### 1/5 — Absolute Trash and money grab

*2026-01-15*

You expect us to use real money to buy credits. The absolute down side is, we don’t even get one single credit to make a cover. Add ads for us to watch and get credits or if we come on the app every day give us a credit. Add something besides using real money that would go towards rent, bills, food, etc. this is an absolute money grab.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand your concerns about the current credit system in the app. We are constantly looking for ways to enhance user experience and value your suggestions. We do offer trial credits for new users to explore the app. If you would like to receive some free credits, please reach out to us via email. We appreciate your support and look forward to making your experience better.

### 1/5 — Do not get

*2025-09-20, version 3.40*

I hate this app if you not trolling tryna cash 300 dollars for something i only was gonna use once. u can’t do this it is expensive and low quality do not buy this dumb app

### 1/5 — The worst AI app yet

*2025-09-13*

I had good hopes for this one based off of the reviews. Not only were my very specific descriptions ignored, but the figures were incomplete and incorrect. One design had a way darker skin tone than described and the other was female and an even darker skin than the first one. And I specifically described my main character as Caucasian with light skin! 

Don’t waste your time with this app. Your time is too valuable.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry about the unsatisfactory experience you had with our app. It's rare to get the perfect result in one-shot, which is why the app includes an Edit and Erase feature. You can use a brush to highlight the incorrect area, and then describe how to correct it. Another strategy is to layer the prompts—so first describe the layout, then skin tones, then background details, etc. We will use your feedback to improve the app :)

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work!

*2025-09-06*

I had to buy a credit, just to try that AI cover thing, I already have my cover so I wanted to see what this app was and what it would do, and I told it my title of the book and the author name, as well as the description of the book, and it made some weird Latin or something cover that was not anything at all what I typed in.  So it just doesn’t work, you can try it yourself and it might work for you, but for me it just gave me a stupid Latin cover that had nothing to do with what I told it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ nice concept, though!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry about the unsatisfactory experience you had with our app. Text generation is still a bit tricky for AI models. Fortunately, the app offers 2000+ unique fonts and text styling features empowering you to create the perfect look. If the AI text does not look good, you can use the "Erase" tool to remove the text and then apply customized text yourself.

### 1/5 — Sem graça

*2024-05-06*

É rico em fontes, cada uma muito boa e com suas essências. Porém, não há uma forma para de usar a fonte nem a imagem, e isso é um problema, pois não há um jeito de trocar a cor e muito menos mexer as palavras. Muito básico em minha visão.

### 2/5 — Very basic

*2024-12-20*

The only function this app can do is type fonts on top of a photo either yours or from a gallery of photos . That’s all

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Please update the app to v3.0 to create stunning covers using our advanced editor and AI cover art generation.

### 2/5 — Limited

*2024-06-13, version 2.0*

Does not make book covers

*2025-03-15*

I like this app it helps a lot but once I wrote more then 4 novel covers it stopped me and kept telling me to buy the pro and I have no deal with it but, it’s annoying since I can’t do any more covers but overall I love this app! 🩷🎀

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We will fix that issue!
