I told it no earring on multiple occasions, but it still gave me pictures with them. Also the faces are kept accurate and the teeth are crooked and droopy. I ask it to smile with mouth closed and it gives me a bigger and wider smile with more crooked teeth. 😩😔😞 ### 1/5 — Stupid *2026-08-17, version 1.6* Bro it’s saying that certain capabilities are unavailable at this time like why? Like I just wanna use the app but it’s not working! ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2026-08-16, version 1.6* Doesn’t work at all with my I phone 16 pro max. Constantly freezes the message app and requires a phone reset to fix. Would delete off this phone if I could ### 1/5 — horrible *2026-08-16, version 1.6* It doesn't create the image you ask for. Also, when it asked you to choose a person for the image, I wasn't even an option. It showed other people in my photo library, and I couldn't take a photo of myself for the image. ### 1/5 — Can’t get into it *2026-08-16, version 1.6* It keeps saying that it’s unavailable ### 3/5 — Very Vage instructions *2026-08-16, version 1.6* The instructions can be confusing. Generations can permanently leave error measages on your top center part of your phone, image generation look nothing like what promot request, the generations are basic. It feels like an incomplete experiment. I hope the images inprove and bugs get fixed. ### 1/5 — Apple fails yet again *2026-08-14, version 1.6* Horrible app ### 1/5 — No *2026-08-14, version 1.6* No ### 1/5 — Visual quality sucks *2026-08-14, version 1.6* The app doesn’t really produce anything except extremely unrealistic things the visual quality looks like something dedicate man could produce sucks ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-12, version 1.6* Truly bizarre. It does almost nothing. What little it does, it does poorly. There are literally dozens of apps that do far more & do it better. So useless & pathetic, it actually makes me consider leaving Apple (because releasing this app says something about the state of the company). ### 1/5 — Utterly useless *2026-08-11, version 1.6* Don’t waste the storage space… ### 1/5 — No. Just no. *2026-08-11, version 1.6* This is just ridiculous. I would rate it 0/5 stars if I could. I literally can’t even get into the app. It always says, “Certain Capabilities Are Unavailable At This Time”. Like, I’m not even sure how to fix it. It doesn’t say what the capabilities are, why they’re not available—nothing! And there doesn’t seem to be anything in Settings that helps. Well, from what I’ve heard from other reviews, it’s probably not something worth me spending my time on anyway. I don’t support ai unless it is for helpful uses, and from what people have said about the photos and the app, I’m not going to waste my time trying to get this hunk of junk to work. ### 2/5 — I don’t get it *2026-08-09, version 1.6* Everyone looks weird. Whats the point of this am I missing it? I really don’t understand what it’s for. To make contact photos? ### 1/5 — rubbish *2026-08-09, version 1.6* the worst image generator i have ever seen. ### 1/5 — Mediocre at best *2026-08-09, version 1.6* The quality and range of animations is fairly limited, specifically due to the product only representing limited phenotypes. Very limited product outside grossly exaggerated American phenotypes. ### 3/5 — Photos *2026-08-07, version 1.6* You can’t delete photos that you download to this app. Hate it ### 1/5 — Angry person *2026-08-07, version 1.6* This app isn’t even letting me use it. It says “Image Playground Unavailable certain capabilities are unavailable at this time” ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-09-01, version 1.6* Super sucks ### 1/5 — Not ready *2026-08-31, version 1.6* I went to use this app for the first time today and I asked it to make and a simple animation. It asked me to choose a person and when it gave me the options it froze. This app is clearly being used for public testing purposes and should not have been released. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-26, version 1.6* 𝓢𝓪𝔂𝓼 𝓲𝓶𝓪𝓰𝓮 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝔂 𝓰𝓻𝓸𝓾𝓷𝓭 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓪𝓿𝓪𝓲𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮 𝓬𝓮𝓻𝓽𝓪𝓲𝓷 𝓒𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓲𝓫𝓲𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂𝓼 𝓐𝓻𝓮 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 ### 1/5 — Zero stars *2026-08-26, version 1.6* This is one of the worst image generators that I have ever used. Apple should be embarrassed that they released this. ### 1/5 — another Apple failure *2026-08-24, version 1.6* Not sure why it’s so common, and a normalized behaviour for companies like Apple to create something like this app/genmoji’s when it doesn’t work 99% of the time. It doesn’t matter how much you input certain words to create something it’s going to give you an error. Has Apple lost all its dignity due to its popularity. There’s 0 control for standards to make sure something is actually working and in good quality. Just shows how after Steve Jobs Apple collapsed on so many essential levels. The product quality is lower and lower. ### 1/5 — Bad at making photos *2026-08-24, version 1.6* Did a terrible job at making a photo you would be better of buying chat gpt 1 star it limits you to use chat gpt 3 times every day hope this was helpful ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-24, version 1.6* I really don’t understand what this app is for. It produce nothing when asked in prompt. Only if you select from preset options below. What’s the point? I asked to generate Pac-Man chasing fox and it tells me “Try describing something different’ huh?? How hard can this be? Deleting…. ### 1/5 — Bbbboooo *2026-08-23, version 1.6* It sucks. It won’t even let me do it. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-22, version 1.6* It doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Playground unavailable??? *2026-08-21, version 1.6* Okay so first of all IT DOSENT EVEN LET YOU OPEN THE APP BECUASE IT WILL SAY PLAYGROUND UNAVAILABLE LIKE BRO WHATS THE POINT ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR MONTHS ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good! *2026-08-21, version 1.6* This is good! ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2026-08-13, version 1.6* This is the best app in the entire universe I love it so much it is so awesome I have made like a million images and I think it would be so awesome if it could make videos as well but it is still the best app ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — 🇺🇸 *2026-08-04, version 1.6* 🇺🇸 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-31, version 1.6* I like to make photos to make my brother laugh, it makes him laugh every time! ### 5/5 — I love its app lol *2026-07-30, version 1.6* This is a good app and I love it so much and I do my background with this app ### 5/5 — It’s too easy *2026-06-25, version 1.6* It is good for kids who is easy create a pic of this app. ### 5/5 — Miss Naema assem *2026-06-16, version 1.6* It is good ### 5/5 — A.I! *2026-06-15, version 1.6* Who made this!?
