It won't go away

I keep deleting this and it keeps coming back I don't want this bs

INCREDIBLE

I indeed love this app, I love that there is no adds, and that it’s free, and that I can do watercolor, and oil paints effects.

Literally cannot stay deleted

I have deleted this app 3 times now, 2 times by myself and 1 time with Apple Support on the line - every time I’ve deleted this app, it keeps on coming back to my phone. I DO NOT want this app on my phone, and it’s really creepy that Apple has re-downloaded this app multiple times without my consent, after I deleted it explicitly. Can’t a person live without having AI features shoved down their throat?

Keeps auto installing on my iPad

Look, one time auto install is whatever. Once I uninstall it, it shouldn’t reinstall again, but it keeps doing it. This is spam and it needs to stop. I already left windows because they kept putting programs on my computer that i did not want. I was thinking about getting a Mac, but maybe i won’t anymore if apple keeps installing ai slop apps that I do not want.

Image. Piaygroub?

Do you hplayground?

I can’t seem to delete this app??

Ever since the Ios 27 update, I have not been able to permanently delete this app. It will re install itself hours later, please stop this nonsense…

Reappears After Deletion

The title says it all.

Very simple

This app is very simple. It doesn’t do any of the cool things that ChatGPT or other AI does. This is not what you expect from one of these apps and apple should try and make it a lot better.

Hello?????

I got this two or three weeks ago and it wont let me use it AT ALL like wth is wrong with you dev

It’s good!

I’ve only used it a couple of times so far but I think it’s a very good app for image generation.

Unfortunately unusable

I cannot get it to create a single image it seems to be simply bugged.

Excitement for the 27 update evaporates

Edited to add: after using it more and trying so hard to make it work, I’ve revised my rating from two stars down to one. It’s literally impossible to get the images to look like they were before and instead they are creepy, weird little cartoons. It adds in instructions to smooth the features (as seen in the diagnostic file when I report the result) even when I say DO NOT smooth features or do any of the other things it had added.

Another edit: I am an adult. If I want to depict myself as a mermaid, I should be allowed to do that. THERE IS ALREADY A MERMAID EMOJI. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE!? And if the puritans ruining these programs with creepy and invasive censorship could AT LEAST get the programs to stop trying to censor my port cath medical device (or just stop trying to control what adults do on their own phones altogether kthx) I would appreciate that. Ridiculous.

Original Post:

It took a long time and many uses of practice to be able to get the app to generate images that I liked before the update. So many times it would say I needed to use a different description despite there being nothing wrong with my description, it would take forever to generate the twelve images, or it would take bizarre meanings from my words or not understand context. Now it’s somehow gotten worse. The very first time I used it after the update I thought it might have been better but after a few more uses it clearly is not. Now we only get the one image. And trying to describe the changes it should make to the ONE generated image somehow takes the image FURTHER from what I intended. I had spent a long time to make standardized Genmoji’s of the people in my life and now those descriptions are nowhere to be found and the Genmoji’s look nothing like the people. I provide the pictures and the faces may look similar at first but it gave long hair and a womanly figure to a man who clearly doesn’t look like that, it gave red hair to someone with black hair, and if I describe any change, any thing that may have been close disappears. And I don’t want exact replicas of the images or I would just use the pictures I had. Give us back the standardized descriptions in the profiles of the people! Or at least more than one image generated so we can choose the best one to work with!

Why have an app that has so many rules you can’t use it

Tried making my girlfriend into a painting, not allowed tried making my girlfriend wear a hat, not allowed tried to make my girlfriend in one of the suggestions it gave me for it not allowed no matter what I do it’s somehow inappropriate and I’m not even doing anything inappropriate there’s so much better out there as bad as the new pose a good siri

Sucks

Doesn’t do anything I want

ai garbage

please stop

I don’t want it

I deleted it MULTIPLE TIMES and it KEEP being reinstalled on my phone

No working

It won’t let me add photos at all it just says certain photo are allowed.

Keeps coming back

I’ve deleted this app 6 times since the update, why does it keep re-appearing on my phone?

Deleted this app countless times

I’ve deleted this app countless times after it automatically installed following an update to iOS 27. I’ve got no desire to use this app and I’m baffled by its incessant reappearances on my phone. Go away for good, I have an imagination, I don’t need you.
