### 1/5 — Restricted and lame

*2026-08-16*

I would not buy or even download for that matter ! I won’t let me edit a side profile of my nude body (nothing “private” visible) and just says “NSFW” when I try. *not safe for work* . it hardly has any features. I don’t want to be restricted on my own photo that does not have any actual nudities but there ai software thinks it does. Give be a program a real human made not this ai garbage that sensors everything and doesn’t understand discernment

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time, and sorry this got in your way.

The NSFW block isn't us being squeamish, the App Store rules require AI photo apps to block edits involving nudity, so every image runs through an automated check before editing. It's deliberately tuned to err on the cautious side, which means it does sometimes flag photos that aren't explicit at all. That's a false positive on our end, not a judgment about your photo.

On features, we'd genuinely like specifics on what was missing. Please feel free to email our support team: owen@totoventures.com with any suggestions you have for the app.

### 2/5 — Stupid

*2026-08-14*

You can’t even manage to use this app unless you buy the subscription, it forces you to rate it every second , and the erasing doesn’t work, I can’t make a item go away even if I sell an arm and a leg to them , they should’ve actually worked on this app , a 2 year old can do better

### 1/5 — Geld zurück !!

*2026-08-13*

Ich hatte geklickt, um es kostenlos 3 Tage testen zu können und ich habe es sofort gekündigt, musste aber trotzdem 39,99€ bezahlen !! Frechheit ! ich möchte mein Geld zurück !!

### 1/5 — Dont bother

*2026-08-10*

You cant circumvent their attempt to get you to sign up for their 3 day "free trial" or pay upfront. Also they blocked screenshots and don't let you save any images. There's better apps honestly, this is so barebones it's funny they think it's worth that much.

### 2/5 — It’s not as advertised unless you have good eyesight

*2026-08-03*

When an app is free on the App Store, then that’s what it should be, when it includes “in app purchases” those should be optional. It’s shady to advertise as free unless it’s in super tiny fine print. So basically. If you want to do a quick project don’t get it. You can’t get one single picture without paying for it. I would have been more enticed to purchase a subscription for a pro plan rather than not getting to see my finished product without paying for it. Unfortunately, now I have now reason to want to, because I couldn’t even get one picture edited. Not even a free trial is an option. Oh well 🤷‍♀️

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-13, version 2.5.1*

Easy to use

### 1/5 — Inconvenient and scam

*2026-06-08*

Very inconvenient, do not purchase this app, you would beed to pay to extract the photos

### 1/5 — my first review since app store creation

*2026-05-27*

Since the creation of the first iPhone and the App Store, I have genuinely never seen any app asking me endlessly to rate it, and actually even preventing me from using essential functions because I decline  to rate it. Yes you read that right, you can’t use essential functions unless you rate the app. Wanna hear something even crazier? I can’t save my edit unless I rate the app, so I screenshot my edit to use my iPhone photo gallery’s built in function to save the edit as an image, and the app went as far as removing/making your edit completely invisible when it detects you screenshotting. GENUINELY IMPRESSIVE. Unfortunately can’t rate this under 1 star.

### 2/5 — Bunk

*2026-05-26*

Another overpriced app.

### 1/5 — Waste of my time

*2026-05-13*

The amount of times this app just closed off on its own while I was trying to cut out a picture, and then when I reopened the app my work which I spend hours on wasn’t saved. A waste of my time
