Very sneaky and unfair. I’ll report the dev to Apple bcoz this is a clear scam. 2 stars for the app itself. It produces nice results update 03/2026 even worst: suddenly fair usage is limited to a few shot PER MONTH, not days. I will report the app again for unethical business ### 2/5 — scam / reported to Apple *2026-02-13* indeed, as others already stated, the premium feature (premium lifetime) was stripped to one image per day (fair use?). Very sneaky and unfair. I’ll report the dev to Apple bcoz this is a clear scam. 2 stars for the app itself. It produces nice results ### 2/5 — Vielleicht ganz nett … *2025-08-17, version 1.1.2* … aber wenn ich mehr als 5 Minuten oder länger auf ein Bild warten muss, denke ich, dass mit der App etwas nicht in Ordnung ist (Zugriffsrechte auf die Fotomediathek ?) und breche den Vorgang ab. Und wenn das immer passiert, fehlt mir leider die Geduld (und die Zeit). Das hilft dann auch das heutige Special nicht. Schade eigentlich ! ### 2/5 — It does not work *2025-08-13, version 1.1.2* I have lifetime premium and keeps saying failed to create generation task ### 1/5 — Limitation image *2025-07-23, version 1.1.1* As a premium subscriber, I was disappointed by the limited image regeneration feature. While the app is user-friendly and functional, the restrictions hinder my creative process. I hope the developers expand this capability in future updates to enhance the experience for premium subscribers like myself. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work - developers don’t respond *2025-07-21* I have premium lifetime but constantly receive error messages I have exceeded free amount of images. Premium should be unlimited but I’m limited to 2 images. Developers don’t respond to this error that has been reported by myself and others. ### 1/5 — Unacceptable! *2025-07-21, version 1.1.0* The developer doesn’t support at all his app. His rules are against of Apple support! ### 1/5 — Errors *2025-07-19, version 1.1.0* Like to know why this app looks good when it works. Sadly the app keeps showing error, time after time this is ruining the use of this app. Considering deleting unless get a valid reason from the provider, I wait in anticipation. ### 1/5 — Truffa *2025-07-18, version 1.1.0* La versione a pagamento non funziona se non per 5 immagini ### 2/5 — Limitation on images 👎👎 *2025-07-17* I have the lifetime premium version but have only been able to make 4 images. It constantly errors out. The latest one says that I exhausted my free quota and to try again later. With premium, you're supposed to get Unlimited Creations - there wasn't supposed to be a limit. The renders that I did make were really cool, though. I just wish it would work the way it is supposed to. I will change my rating when this is fixed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-07-14, version 1.1.0* I just keep getting error messages. It does not recognize any photo in my gallery. It’s disappointing that they say they fix the bug, but it’s not been really fixed. Don’t bother wasting your time with this app. ### 2/5 — Often doesn’t work *2025-07-14* Errors out constantly and limits to one or two renders per day, even with lifetime subscription. ### 1/5 — Avoid, it doesn’t work 👎🏻 *2025-07-13, version 1.1.0* Unfortunately I have to give this app 1 star as I can’t give it ZERO! It continually has errors even after being updated. The latest is “ERROR. Free quota exhausted. Try again later.” On a premium account! Developers shouldn’t be allowed to release and charge for apps that aren’t fully tested or working. ### 1/5 — Lifetime Purchase doesn’t work *2025-07-13, version 1.1.0* I purchased the lifetime subscription, but unfortunately the app does not recognize it. Despite restoring the purchase multiple times, nothing happens. It still limits me to converting only one picture every 24 hours, as if I’m using the free version. This is very frustrating, especially after paying for the full access. Please fix this issue or provide proper support for restoring the lifetime subscription. ### 1/5 — Non funziona *2025-07-12, version 1.1.0* Errore ### 2/5 — Premium but can only use 1 time every 24 hrs *2025-07-11, version 1.1.0* I have premium but can only do 1 inversion every 24h. Why? I thought it should be more then 1 if unlimited. ### 2/5 — Comentario *2025-07-09, version 1.1.0* Su estilo de imagen a dibujo animado es bueno. Lo malo es que aunque tengo una versión Premium, me limita a solo tres conversiones por día, sin importar que acción quiera realizar. Sino fuera por esto le daría 5 estrellas. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-07-09, version 1.1.0* It still doesn't work. It never has before. This time a new error appears: „Error Failed to create generation task“. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bate and switch *2026-03-31, version 1.1.6* Constantly changing the parameters of the app in an attempt to get more money. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-09-09, version 1.1.4* I have lifetime premium with unlimited use. Now it’s telling me to buy credits. Why?? Great app. Would be 5 stars but deception takes it down. ### 1/5 — Scan app - developers eliminated premium benefits and don’t respond. *2025-09-06, version 1.1.4* Update - The developers have removed unlimited requests from the lifetime premium subscription and instituted a “fair usage policy.” Now they want lifetime premium users to buy credits if they exceed their fair use policy. The original benefit of lifetime premium WAS FREE unlimited usage. However, the devs sneakily removed this benefit. This is a scam and questionable dev. Avoid this app at all cost. Original review - I have premium lifetime but constantly receive error messages I have exceeded free amount of images. Premium should be unlimited but I’m limited to 2 images. Developers don’t respond to this error that has been reported by myself and others. ### 1/5 — It was supposed to be unlimited *2025-08-21, version 1.1.4* So disappointed that the lifetime unlimited subscription isn’t unlimited. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work - developers don’t respond *2025-08-19* I have premium lifetime but constantly receive error messages I have exceeded free amount of images. Premium should be unlimited but I’m limited to 2 images. Developers don’t respond to this error that has been reported by myself and others. Update - now developers have removed unlimited requests from premium subscription and made it possible for premium users to buy credits if they exceed their fair use policy. The original be exit of premium was unlimited usage. This is a scam and questionable dev. Avoid this app at all cost. ### 1/5 — Problem - lifetime - premium *2025-08-08, version 1.1.2* I have the lifetime premium subscription but still it has a limited request/ uploads. Can’t upload multiple styles too. Now it’s saying that “ I have exhausted my monthly allocated transformation for the free for a lifetime access”. Doesn’t make any sense . Fix it. ### 1/5 — What gives? *2025-07-28, version 1.1.2* Have the same problem keeps telling me err and went over quota even though I have the premium ### 1/5 — Exhausting *2025-07-27, version 1.1.2* Samson- It's clear you have no intention of honoring the offer on AppAdvice; your continual modifications and refusal to provide the promised “unlimited requests” are just infuriating and inappropriate. Do not rack your brain to come up with more rules to eliminate me from having the access to this app. Please reread the wording in the newest message preventing me from what I am entitled- it is double talk: “You have exhausted your monthly allocated transformations for the “free for a lifetime access.”” This is very disappointing. I am deleting this app. ### 1/5 — ERROR *2025-07-26, version 1.1.2* Not one image yet. Every time I get error message:“Failed to create generation task” ### 1/5 — Dad *2025-07-25, version 1.1.1* From the beginning I said it was a mistake but every day it's worse now they charge to do things and they charged me $99.99 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wish the developer was truthful in promoting this app *2025-08-19, version 1.1.4* I downloaded a lifetime premiere of this app. It was very enjoyable at first, and then the developer kept changing the rules. First I had unlimited use of it, then I was blocked out of the app, then he changed it to only six images per month. The developer has changed the rules five times and less than a month and a half.. Be very careful of what you download because the developer changes the rules regularly. I’ve been in contact with him eight times with NO HELP. Just be very careful on what you’re downloading. ### 5/5 — Beautiful App *2025-07-28, version 1.1.2* I'm thrilled to give 5 stars to this awesome developer! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — A Watercolor Masterpiece Machine *2025-07-05, version 1.0.9* I’m of an age where I don’t require a silly cartoon character to represent me in the act of swooning over a texted photo of someone’s restaurant meal. So most of the features of the AI Photo Generator are of little value to me. What does interest me, however, is the app’s ability to render any photograph into a stunning watercolor print. My five star rating is based entirely on this single remarkable ability. I downloaded the AI Photo Generator through a deep discount offer, but could not personally justify taking out a mortgage to purchase it at the full retail price ($99.99). I suspect the developers will soon come to the same conclusion. Note: I repeatedly received the same error message that many reviewers encountered. Clearly the server was overwhelmed in the first hours after the app’s promotional release. It is working flawlessly now that the number of users has significantly diminished. ### 5/5 — Muy chula y divertida *2025-07-04, version 1.0.9* Quiero compartir mi experiencia positiva con esta aplicación. Tuve un pequeño inconveniente, pero el desarrollador se disculpó de inmediato y demostró un gran compromiso con sus usuarios. Además, me ofreció un código promocional que me permite disfrutar de la aplicación gratis por un año. ¡Un gran gesto! Aprecio mucho su atención al cliente y la calidad de la app. ¡Altamente recomendada! ### 5/5 — Error *2025-07-02, version 1.0.8* Nothing got generated despite many attempts with different photos and different format ### 4/5 — Nette Ergebnisse *2025-07-05, version 1.0.9* Die Bearbeitung bricht nicht mehr ab und meldet einen Serverfehler. Das passiert nur gelegentlich. Die Ergebnisse der Umwandlung sind meist recht nett anzusehen. ### 4/5 — Does this work or is it spam? *2025-07-04, version 1.0.9* Had this app few a days and not got one image to work. There’s been an update to fix the app but it still doesn’t work. Keep getting same error message: The operation couldn't be completed. (Photoreal_Al.NetworkError error 0.) Continue Will update rating if things improve… ### 4/5 — 希望有繁體中文版 *2025-07-02, version 1.0.8* 如題 ### 4/5 — Does not work *2025-07-02, version 1.0.8* I got two images to work now all I get is errors on everything. ### 4/5 — I like it but it’s kinda annoying that it keeps having errors and takes forever to load. *2025-07-02, version 1.0.8* I just started using it, but every time I try to generate something, I keep getting an ‘error: invalid response format’ message. It also takes quite a while to load. Hope you can fix this. Thanks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
