I tap on button. It goes to charge page and it’s not free. Sadly one star. And delete. ### 1/5 — Liars *2025-08-16, version 1.0.2* This app was advertised as a FREE lifetime offer through AppAdvice. There is no free option in the paywall, not even for a week. ### 1/5 — Cheaters *2025-08-16, version 1.0.2* Was not free ### 1/5 — deceptive tactic *2025-08-16, version 1.0.2* The price for this 'limited-time free' offer is constantly changing. It feels like they are deliberately using the timing of these adjustments to trick users into making an accidental purchase. This creates a very poor user experience ### 1/5 — Advertised as free lifetime on AppAdvice. NOT! *2025-06-16, version 1.0.1* App is ok but very cartoonish. Regardless, it was advertised as free lifetime on AppAdvice. But insisted on charging $4.99. What gives? ### 1/5 — It was not for free when in promotion *2025-06-16, version 1.0.1* Cheaters ### 2/5 — Not good *2025-06-16, version 1.0.1* App advice said this was free, nope. On top of that it does not create an accurate image. I have a beard and the output looks absolutely nothing like me. ### 1/5 — It said it was free… *2025-06-16, version 1.0.1* Then nope. Had to pay after. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work For Melanated People *2025-06-16, version 1.0.1* Didn’t even get close to my features. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Liked it before up date. Message says limit abuse so must wait. Was unlimited not anymore. *2025-12-31, version 1.0.4* Liked it before update. Message says limiting abuse so must wait. Was unlimited not anymore. Say sexual content because of tap dancing women in swimsuits. So it does not let you do. Photo was found one the page so they don’t think it’s sexual. I think the new images should be part two and keep old ones also. It force update to use which is unnecessary allow us to use what works. With all the changes still have no fix the saving error nor the ability to look in history to pick multiple photos at once to save. How about allow photo to be the same size as imported or for people to choose output size. Now I have never choose to review big the biggest problem is same photo from before now can not be process do to some error. But I guess we are just Guinea pigs for the games. 😠😡🤯😶‍🌫️ ### 1/5 — Uses *2025-12-29, version 1.0.4* Not good that you could only have a few uses, then it either said that you have to try again at certain amount of minutes or error for too many uses etc.. WISH IT WOULD HAVE UNLIMITED USE. ### 1/5 — Scam and didn’t work *2025-12-17, version 1.0.4* Advertises a limited time free offer downloaded it and then it wants five dollars for the sketch that never generated because it just kept kicking down and I’m using an iPad Pro. Didn’t honor its trial offer. ### 1/5 — Completely useless *2025-12-17, version 1.0.4* App doesn’t work properly and the end result are really bad! As well, app was promoted for a free lifetime subscription and looks like they have backed down and revoked that free subscription. ### 1/5 — A joke *2025-10-24, version 1.0.3* Seriously, is this app a joke!!? Defi not worth your time as its useless! ### 1/5 — 注意疑似詐騙 *2025-08-18, version 1.0.2* 當時網站介紹限時免費，結果事隔一個星期後突然信用卡扣款，我已經向Apple申訴退款了！請大家注意！ ### 1/5 — Ripped of after Free for Life SCAM *2025-08-17, version 1.0.2* Found this app in AppAdvice Daily. Selected the Lifetime Membership (£0:00). Was charged £4.99 by App Store. Tried a Refund from Apple. They said Refund Not Available. Pure SCAM. ### 1/5 — Not truthful! *2025-08-17, version 1.0.2* App offered on App advice for 0.00 and I was charged 4.99! Also does not recognize skin tones of people of color. ### 1/5 — Liars *2025-08-17, version 1.0.2* Cheating is bad, i gave you one star & hope others will do the same ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2025-08-17, version 1.0.2* On appadvise, there is currently a free lifetime promotion just for today supposedly. Indicates just for today 08.16.25, download the app for free $0 lifetime download. However, they are actually charging $4.99 for lifetime. 👉🏿👇🏿 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — latest update *2025-07-16, version 1.0.2* fantastic using ai with all the new cartoon styles fab ### 5/5 — Not Entirely Accurate But Fun *2025-07-15, version 1.0.1* This app has great potential. For the most part I appreciate the developer’s effort to make the user experience better. The developer is responsive to inquiries and comments. I am pleased that the developer honored the terms of a promotional offer. After using the app for some time, I find that the AI program does not accurately produce the same number of people as the original photos. There are usually more characters in the final image than the original one when there are more than one character, i.e, 5 characters appearing on the final image when the original image has 4 characters. Overall, I enjoy using this app and share the images to friends and family members. Thank you Ripon for contributing to the community. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-06-17, version 1.0.1* Love the app. Really cool. Got Free Lifetime Version. Deleted and Restored and still free lifetime. Don’t know what these other people on reviews, my lifetime version works fine. Thank you ### 5/5 — Neat effects! *2025-06-16, version 1.0.1* Finally gave in to such an app (for some reason, I avoided them all this while). Fun little time pass, truth be told. It definitely keeps the niece amused and occupied. And a tip of the hat to the developer for honouring a deal that I wasn’t able to avail within the app. Greatly appreciate the kind gesture and support. ### 5/5 — sooo cute *2025-05-14, version 1.0.1* love the result! great work Dev👍 ### 5/5 — Very good! *2025-05-14* 👍👍 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-04-11, version 1.0.0* The results is amazing love this app so much ### 2/5 — Offer not honored , multiple issues with this app *2025-08-16, version 1.0.2* This is the SECOND time this specific app has been featured by AppAdvice as FREE lifetime, when in fact the lifetime is $4.99. The same thing happened in June of 2025. Also, I had (initially) had the same issue with another app from this same developer, so it appears to be a pattern with this developer. That other one I did finally get the offer to work, this one I have not. I just bought two unrelated educational apps for $9.99 each, so the problem isn’t a lack of money, but when I do buy apps I want to have trust in both the app and that app’s developer before doing so, and I sincerely doubt that happening after several bad experiences with this dev. I do not participate in bait and switch endeavors so I certainly will not be spending my money on your app now, or in the future. If this is genuinely not a scammy attempt to get people to buy your product, you, Apple and AppAdvice really need to get together and figure it out, because running these kinds of promotions this way are only going to gain negative attention and bad reviews from people that don’t trust your product, as a result of this “promotion” being run this way. And rightly so. ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-06-18, version 1.0.1* Not impressed. It’s slow and the drawings don’t really look like me. Snapchat filters do a better job IMO. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2025-06-16, version 1.0.1* Found this app on AppAdvice as one of their daily featured apps. Not only did the offered free app not show up in the app, thus unable to take advantage of the offer, but the app wont work.
