### 2/5 — Crashes without explanation, no settings

*2024-03-19*

Can't configure anything, adding models makes it crash.

### 2/5 — This doesn’t seem to work

*2023-12-29*

I successfully was able to download the model (in my case it was both stable 1.4 and realistic 2.0) but I’m not sure how long it’s supposed to take to generate anything but I didn’t get a single image from this app. Then next day I opened the app and clicked the back button to try to delete one of the models or choose a different model and everything was blank, a total black screen with only the “GUERNIKA” text. No website or contact, no user manual or anything. Found a link to a subreddit that has no info and everyone seems to have an issue with the app. Why are you charging money if it doesn’t work? Thanks for the notion, this is one of few paid ai apps on here and it was a waste of my time and $2. iPhone 12 Pro 256gb here with well over half storage left.

### 2/5 — 使えるけど…

*2023-06-20*

よくクラッシュする。開きっぱなしじゃないとモデルのダウンロードができない、モデルの同時複数ダウンロードは事実上無理。実装されている機能もクラッシュするものが多く、UIも使いやすいとは言いがたい。

### 2/5 — Localization in Chinese

*2023-03-17*

汉化汉化汉化！

### 2/5 — Hat mal teilweise funktioniert

*2023-03-15*

Ursprünglich funktionierte die Bildgenerierung mal, aktuell stürzt sie beim ersten Schritt ab, anschließend ist das Modell nicht mehr geladen. Die Share-Funktion ist immer schon direkt abgestürzt. Man kann die Bilder nur durch Kopieren aus dem Programm herausbekommen (Wenn man eines generiert bekommt, was aktuell nicht mehr funktioniert).

### 1/5 — scam-update

*2023-01-05, version 1.2*

I am updating my review, inpainting 2.0 does not work, this is still an app that does not deliver whats promised

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work out of the box

*2022-12-21*

You can’t generate images with it out of the box. You first have to create a CoreML model on your own, assuming you know how to do that. Huge dissapointment since this wasn’t mentioned in the apps description.

**Developer response:** Hello! Since the last version there is now a list of preconverted models with an easy way to install. I hope this will help you start your journey with Guernika. Thank you for your review.

Je n'arrive pas à le faire fonctionner - lorsque j'appuie sur le bouton Générer des images, l'application se ferme. veuillez résoudre le problème.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work, no instructions, it's crap

*2024-01-17*

I thought £2 okay will give it a trial downloaded it it just doesn't do anything that no instructions no guides nothing it just sits there. I would rather have spent my £2 on one sheet of toilet paper at least it's functional

### 1/5 — L’appli crash

*2023-10-04*

Malgré le fait d’avoir un IPad M2, 
Dès que je lance une génération d’image à partir d’une photo, l’appli plante et ne génère donc rien du tout. 

Dommage pour une appli payante

### 1/5 — Crash

*2023-09-27*

Crash on macOS m2
- crash on "generate" with all models
please fix it

### 1/5 — sdxl takes forever

*2023-08-05*

one sdxl refiner photo takes over 30 minutes, whats that about?

**Developer response:** Hello again! Could you please give me more information? I have tested the included inpainting models and both work out of the box, what do you mean it doesn't work? What are you seeing? Does your Mac have Apple Silicon (M1, M2)?

You can reach me on Reddit or Twitter @GuiyeC

### 1/5 — frustrating

*2023-07-23*

how do you make the photos XL, so annoying you dont even bother to tell us how to do it. No, i mean, how do you up the resolution from 512 to 512, i was told we are able to do that now.

### 1/5 — Leider gekauft

*2023-06-11*

Ist keinen Cent wert es funktioniert nicht muß aus dem Store entfernt werden reine Abzocke

### 1/5 — Timeout downloading any model

*2023-05-02*

Useless without AI model and these fail to download.

### 1/5 — Useless unless you have a PC, time, and more programming knowledge than the average user.

*2023-02-01*

If I am redirected to a third party site and need a to download more software to convert files just to use this app, it doesn’t work. Maybe if I had a PC and some time to brush up on my coding skills… but then I would probably just download Stable Diffusion for free and run it on the PC… so… I just deleted half my pictures on my phone to accommodate a file that I can’t convert to a useable format and paid $2 for the inconvenience. Either update the description with requirements, or the app itself, or please just remove it from the App Store because this was a huge waste of my afternoon.

### 5/5 — Super impressive.

*2024-02-07*

running this on an iPad Pro M1 and it generates images in less than 1 minute. Fabulous application for testing  and playing with the possibilities.

would like the prompts to be over 75 characters, as the prompts  I've been using are over 120 characters now.

### 5/5 — works fine

*2023-06-14*

### 5/5 — Flexible AF

*2023-06-05*

All i wish for. THX

### 5/5 — Tolle Oberfläche für Stable Diffusion

*2023-06-05*

Ich kann die negative (unqualifizierte) Bewertung nicht verstehen. Natürlich funktioniert die Anwendung nicht "out of the box" - da hat wohl jemand etwas nicht recht verstanden.

### 5/5 — very nice and usable

*2023-03-19*

impressively easy to use

### 5/5 — Well made / could use more features

*2023-02-16*

I've been in search for the best SD app. Overall, this one is great. It would be nice to have...

- More samplers (ex. Euler A, DPM   2M Karras, DPM   SDE Karras)
- Automate the process of importing/converting models

Also, I'd love to see a roadmap. Thanks for making the app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the nice review! What do you mean with automating the process of importing models?

I also made a small app that helps with conversion, you can get it here: https://huggingface.co/Guernika/CoreMLStableDiffusion

If you have any questions you can reach me there, in Guernika's Reddit or in Twitter.

### 5/5 — Nice and approachable image generator

*2023-01-27*

Developer has made some good changes lately to improve usability. Works well and the infinite mode is nice.

### 4/5 — Good app love I can download model

*2023-04-28*

Enjoying the app, having converted from Ink Bot. However my only gripe is that image management isn't too easy. I created a collection but it's a bear to get the images into the collection for some reason.

### 4/5 — ControlNet does not work, could not import models

*2023-03-25*

When trying to use any ControlNet model with Dreamlike Photoreal model, all models just unloads, and nothing happens. I'll also try to download Dreamlike Photoreal model with custom resolution (like 512x768), but when I try to load it, app just crashes

### 3/5 — Works all right.

*2023-02-27*

The software works ok after the latest update allowed you to use models on external storage.  Nothing revolutionary though. You can't choose a resolution, but that seems to be a limit to CoreML models, not this software.

**Developer response:** At the moment I'm waiting on Apple to approve version 1.9 which would allow you to have models on external storage, I hope this helps.
