### 2/5 — Not good

*2026-08-09, version 2.4.5*

Not easy to navigate, images do come out looking like original subjects. Cannot do what I set out to do. It’s limited for what I need.

### 5/5 — Mensagens em imagens

*2026-07-28*

Perfeito para colocar mensagens em imagens. Tem restrições, mas permite usar várias fontes. 👍🏼

### 3/5 — Used to love it, but I still fight the app not rendering properly, wasting credit attempts

*2026-07-24, version 2.4.4*

I have made some really cool images with this app but lately the rendering has become increasingly poor in performance and I cannot find a way to give feedback or request a refund for credits wasted on renderings that do not actually do anything at all and give the result of the exact same image/step while still using credits. I would sincerely like to give detailed feedback to help fix problems if it was an option, but reporting issues have been removed as an option and the availability for reporting bugs or getting any feedback feels like it’s just gone. What do I do? Why is it broken l? Are other users experiencing this? How do I problem solve this beyond simple self IT problem solving? Is help even available? Is there anyone from the app staff able to help me?

### 5/5 — GET PREMIUM

*2026-07-03, version 2.4.3*

Seriously my favorite photo editing app by far!

### 1/5 — Won’t deduct credits

*2026-06-28, version 2.4.2*

Having trouble with it deducting my credits. Why?

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2026-06-25, version 2.4.2*

I loved this app so much, but the update came. I used to get 5 credits a day and I could AI image anything I wanted. But I stopped going on it cause my life got busy. I went back on it and everything in my folder was locked. I had to pay to get it back. I’m not wasting my money on an editing app sorry. I get it you want more money from people it’s just why did you have to lock everything I made

### 1/5 — Very confusing

*2026-06-20, version 2.4.2*

I tried the free trial, with all intentions of purchasing it. It’s very complicated and complex. Not easy to use.

### 1/5 — Changes

*2026-06-19, version 2.4.2*

I don’t like the changes you have made with the try on function

### 1/5 — Fighting the app after first rendering often

*2026-06-18, version 2.4.2*

I have made some really cool images with this app. I would sincerely work for you and help fix problems if it was an option. 

My problem is… When using the AI text to image or Image to Image features they work great usually the first couple tries and then the rendering gets stuck in a pattern and fights for any adjustments. I’m so sick of wasting credits trying to relaunch the app or restart my phone to try again when it bugs out or decides to just stop working like it did before. Sometimes a hard reset and relaunch works but usually it goes into the same repetitious rendering without stupidly simple expectations being met. The latest photo I was trying to upscale kept downloading the original before the editing was done and I had used that exact feature many times before. My phone and app are up to date and my patience is wearing thin trying to wait for engineers to fix these problems when we can’t even report the issues easily in the app anymore. Please make the user experience trial and tested before continuing to release new features without fixing what has already been released and feels like a beta test not finished. I pay for the pro plus and feel like it’s gone backwards so far I’m looking into other applications now. It used to be so good and now it’s just got all these limitations that feel like I’m fighting a deaf robot programmed to make me fight  to make simple changes until I run out of credits and have to spend money to fight it all over again.

### 1/5 — Can’t process

*2026-06-14, version 2.4.1*

Impossible to use. Does not understand prompts, even the most simple ones.
