### 1/5 — SCAM! Do no register

*2026-08-18, version 4.44*

I got charged $60 when their 7days trial is not up. Appstore can’t help you. Their customer service is not responding and the app developer email is not responding. When I disputed it in my bank, they are quick to show that my purchase is valid. BE WARNED! Most of the 5 stars reviews are paid

### 4/5 — D man

*2026-08-13, version 4.44*

### 1/5 — 7 Day Trial is Fake

*2026-08-13, version 4.44*

*2026-08-12, version 4.44*

I like it a lot so far no complaints

### 1/5 — Complete AI slop

*2026-08-11*

The videos are all over the place. A lot of disturbing AI artefacts - faces appearing in the back of someone’s head, arms at weird angles etc. I found it so distracting I only watched a couple before deleting the app. I’m sure younger people than me would find it normal!

### 1/5 — Do not buy this app

Without my consent they charged me annually and then removed my
Ability to contact them !! What a scam of an app
