### 5/5 — Abby G

*2023-03-31, version 1.3.7*

It worked. I was doubting it ha ha but it really worked.

### 1/5 — Fix photo

*2022-10-29*

To hard to use

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time or money

*2022-02-05*

$9.00 for a program I can't figure out how to work. Directions are terrible . Pictures only come out way worse than when I started. I'm not the only one with this problem.

### 1/5 — Split screen for directions would be nice

*2021-12-04*

If I have to say I’m not stupid it may be a dead giveaway I am but the directions are extremely difficult to follow. Each time I tried to restore a treasured childhood picture for my Mom’s Christmas present the results went from bad to worse. For a paid app one would think it would be more intuitive. I regret buying this app.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. Please note that for any problem, question or even a request of assistance on a specific photo you can drop an email to support@genovasoftworks.com. I will be happy to help you and even explain you how to restore your photos. The in-app tutorial will be improved in future updates. Thank you. F.Pellaco -GENOVA Softworks.

### 4/5 — UI can be more intuitive

*2021-08-03*

UI can be more intuitive. Despite good functionality, hard to follow how to use this App

### 1/5 — So Sad it Does Work

*2021-06-20, version 1.3.1*

This app dose not work at all,
It dose not do what it say, 
Can not operate it at all it is Very problematic,
I would like a refund ?  Don’t know How ?
Very unhappy with it.

### 1/5 — Total rip-off, no worth it!

*2020-12-28*

I paid 8.99 to restore one old photo that looks exactly like it did before the so call restoration and I still was charged. Rip off , don’t waste your money. Zero stars but they make you rate a star just to post.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear that. Please consider dropping an email to support@genovasoftworks.com. I will be happy to assist you and help you solve any issue you are facing with the app. Regards -F.Pellaco

### 2/5 — Not great in my opinion

*2020-12-06, version 1.2.9*

I could do a better job on photo shop. Generic changes. I guess if you’re inexperienced and want an edit done quickly this is the one for you.

### 1/5 — Re: Not user friendly

*2020-11-09*

I reviewed the tutorial and this app is NOT user friendly. I am asking for a full refund.

**Developer response:** Hello, please consider contacting support at support@genovasoftworks.com. I will be happy to assist you and help you solve your issue! -GENOVA Softworks

### 1/5 — Never again

*2020-11-07*

This app was a waste of money, I tried everything and read the instructions in detail, trying on different photos and it didn’t work on any of them. I contacted the developer as requested before writing this review and I went back and forth retrying all suggestions again as they requested and still nothing worked. I had a death in my family and had to go out of town so I had to realize that I had to take the money spent as a loss. I didn’t have time to keep going back and forth with them

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to investigate on your issue since you haven't provided enough information. If you would like to receive assistance you could reply to our last email providing the required information or you could send us a new support request. I will be happy to help you solve your issue!
