The Sign in with Apple button is broken

Can’t use the app despite registering on the website and adding card details.

Sucks can’t even get into the app

It’s so confusing to use on the phone it pops up in Sadie for no reason and sucks at literally everything it does fix your controls unhappy download delete in less than two minutes

Not free

This app won’t even let you try it out for free not even 1 time wantsyou to pay $30 upfront so given us a one star

Don’t bother

First they want an email, then they want a phone number, then they want payment details. All before you can access anything, no thanks.

Subscription cost

Worst app don’t download and cost is higher with no free try video generating without paid

Horrível = Dor de cabeça

Para começar, o app não cobre a tela inteira do IPad e fica do tamanho da de telefone, não aparece teclado para digitar, ao fazer logout na seção “ Continuar com o Google” se eu saio após concluir ele vó,tá para a tela de logout! E o pior é um “olho da cara” nem deu para testar e os planos são de 25 $ 30 $ e 90 $ ! Não baixem!

Not worth the money

I’m honestly really disappointed with this app. I paid $30 expecting it to help me make real video ads, but the results were bad and not what I asked for. I would tell it to create a video ad, and it either made low-quality ads or just generated pictures instead of an actual useful video. For the price, I expected way better. I don’t recommend this app and I’m not satisfied at all.

Great unlimited plan

The unlimited plan works really well! Love the video quality and ease of use.

Bad UX

Poor! More recently - was good

I've noticed that many prompts are being flagged as outside the guidelines, which is frustrating. I specifically needed a model to showcase shaving armpits, but it’s being categorised as inappropriate material! This makes the tool much less useful for professionals like me. I’m spending more time navigating these restrictions than I’d like. Ideally, I want to create a concise 5-10-second video in 10-30 minutes; otherwise, I might as well spend 20 minutes searching for footage on Pond5. This needs to be streamlined to enhance its utility!

Dreams way too much

Luma Dream Machine has one major strength: the image quality can be genuinely impressive. When it works, the visuals are sharp, detailed, cinematic, and often beautiful enough for polished one-off ads or short visual experiments.

But as a tool for creating actual mini clips or consistent story scenes, it becomes very frustrating fast. The biggest issue is control. The app “dreams” too much, like way too much. Even with very clear prompts, it often invents its own version of the scene instead of simply animating what was asked. It changes the action, adds unwanted movement, creates extra gestures, shifts the background, or ignores the exact timing of the requested moment.

It also struggles with continuity. Faces, hands, props, clothing, and scene layout can drift from frame to frame, which makes it hard to use for serialized content, storytelling, or scenes where identity and composition need to stay locked. For creators building mini episodes, this is a serious limitation.

The tool feels better suited for beautiful single-use shots, mood clips, or quick advertising visuals than for controlled cinematic storytelling. The output can look amazing, but the lack of precision makes it unreliable when you need a character to perform one simple action exactly as described.

Great image quality, but weak direction control. It dreams too much instead of following the scene. For that reason, 2 stars.

Lack of Transparency

Luma makes tracking your credit usage unnecessarily difficult. Unlike most AI video platforms that clearly display the credit cost for each model upfront, Luma hides this information. You have to navigate to one tab to see credits used and then to another just to find your balance. Even then, the balance is shown only as a percentage rather than a raw number, making it nearly impossible to keep an accurate running tally.The paywall is equally vague; after only two free videos, I was prompted to subscribe, yet none of the plans actually specify how many credits you receive for your money. It’s hard to justify a subscription when the basic cost and balance metrics are so non-transparent

. “Overpriced, Under‑Supported, and Still Full of Mistakes

The monthly credit system completely ruins the experience. You only get a few generations, and once the AI makes a mistake, you’re forced to wait an entire month just to try again. No one is paying $100 just for more credits, especially when the AI still makes basic errors. You’re not getting better quality — just more attempts. For the price they’re charging, you could buy something actually useful instead of wasting money on an app that locks you out for weeks. Only download this if you don’t mind spending a lot for very little in return. Most of the 5‑star reviews are from 2024–2025. The app hasn’t been supported the same way in 2026, and the developers stopped replying to reviews after January. New users aren’t getting the experience those old reviews describe. The monthly credit system makes the app almost unusable for new users. If the AI makes a mistake, you’re forced to wait an entire month just to try again. The app charges premium prices, but the AI still makes basic mistakes. Paying $100 only gives you more attempts, not better results.

अब तक की सब से बेकार ai

यहाँ पर फ्री कुछ भी नहीं है हर चीज़ को पैसा माने जाते हैं और मूर्ख बनाए जाता है

App is really bad at generating video.

It’s really hard to get the app to generate videos, it’s a lot easier to generate an image then again? Chatgpt can do that. The ad videos are great, but generating is always a battle, I’m always reaching out to support and deleting and re downloading the app 🙄 no thanks.

Free plan / try out product

The free plan is horrible I didn’t even get a video to generate it just shuts down and says you’ve reached you limit. I now have to wait until may 11 which is crazy. How am I supposed to know if I want to try your product out if I can’t even use it at least once. So as of now won’t be subscribing to your service.

Only Scam

Ich teste gerade sämtliche KI Videobearbeitungsapps und diese ist nur ein weiterer Scam. Man bekommt teilweise GENAU das Gegenteil von dem was angefragt hat. Das bezahlt man natürlich mit seinen Credits. Klar bekommt man nicht immer das was man anfragt, aber exakt das Gegenteil ist absolut nicht akzeptabel!
