Ai does not resemble anything close to a real person.Credits run out quickly. ### 1/5 — Super Rip-Off *2025-10-19* These AI photos look nothing like me. Not even close. Then they want you to spend more money to get a better outcome. What a rip-off. **Developer response:** Hello. We're really sorry to hear about your experience. Please reach out to us at lume@catchmobiletech.com with more details so we can look into this and assist you better. 😊 ### 1/5 — Waste of Money *2025-10-15* This app is extremely difficult to navigate. There are very few options beyond saving, adding, or deleting pictures. The interface feels unintuitive and limited. To make matters worse, there’s no accessible support—it’s frustrating and confusing to use. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks so much for your feedback and we're really sorry if the app felt confusing. You can reach our support team anytime via Profile > Settings > Get Support, and we’ll do our best to reply within 24 hours. ### 1/5 — Photos do not look like you at all *2025-10-13* The photos do not look like you at all. Total waste of money. **Developer response:** We’re really sorry to hear the photos didn’t meet your expectations. Our AI aims to create stylized images based on the input photos provided, but results can sometimes vary depending on lighting, angles, or image quality. We’re constantly improving the system to make the results more accurate and satisfying. In the meantime, if you'd like us to take a closer look or if there were any technical issues with your generation, feel free to share more details via lume@catchmobiletech.com. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-10-13, version 1.0.9* Unrealistic ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-10-10* You have to upload photos but non of the generated final results are the pictures uploaded or even slightly resemble me 😭 **Developer response:** Hi! Our AI is still learning and improving! For the best accuracy, try uploading bright, clear photos from different angles with minimal accessories. We truly appreciate your feedback! ### 1/5 — Money wasted *2025-10-08* My photo had another person and not me. I cancel my subscription the same day a got it. Waste of money and time **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry about the trouble. Occasional glitches can happen, but our AI is constantly improving to avoid this in the future 💫 Thanks for your patience and feedback! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t deliver *2025-10-07* Save your money. You don’t get what they advertise. Very limited options once your signed up. **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry to hear that! Just to clarify — all advertised styles are available in the app, but some might be easy to miss. We recommend exploring all categories for the full experience. Thanks for your feedback! ### 1/5 — Changing the photos ??? *2025-10-06* Why can’t I change the photos once submitted? It looks nothing like me so I want to change the photos they are using. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback! You can create a new profile anytime with different photos for better results.💫 ### 1/5 — Photos were never produced after 24 hours *2025-10-05* After 24 hours waiting in the photos and still ongoing with paid subscription. I think this is a scam **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your patience. The delay issue has now been fixed ✅ Everything should work smoothly now, but feel free to reach out via Profile > Settings > Get Support if you ever need help! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-10-05, version 1.0.9* I purchased the app and after 5 hours photo is still not complete and I cannot work or any other because it’s still pending. Terrible product. ### 1/5 — Limited options *2025-10-04* Can’t change pic & few options **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Right now, it's only possible to change your photo by creating a new profile — we're working on making this more flexible. As for filters, we’re adding new ones daily, so keep the app updated and check back often for fresh options! ### 1/5 — -1 *2025-09-26, version 1.0.8* Is too expensive and I wanted to buy for only one week, it charged me for the whole year $39.99 I’m so disappointed with this app ### 1/5 — Deleting my profile *2025-09-21* It won’t let me delete my profile picture or my profile itself when I’m in the app. I accidentally deleted it from my Home Screen, and can’t change it from Open to Download. This is the worst app ever, and I’m never using it ever again **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your feedback. If you’re not happy with the photos in your first profile, you can always create a new profile and start fresh. We’re also working on adding more flexible profile management soon 🙌 ### 1/5 — $$$ *2025-09-16* Just another AI app that wants money. I won’t buy anything that won’t give me a free week to see if it’s worth purchasing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-01-11* Do not purchase this app. Have to pay for the app then are very limited on use without paying even more. The pictures just barely resemble the person in the uploaded photo. Extremely low quality app. Want my money back. **Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear you had a disappointing experience. Lume includes weekly credits with your subscription — extra purchases are completely optional. As for image quality, Lume works best with clear, well-lit photos, and we’re always working to improve our AI results. You can manage the cancellation & refund process through the App Store. If you need support, please email us at lume@catchmobiletech.com. ### 1/5 — Money grabbing pigs *2026-01-09* No free trial? Everything you do is an upgrade? Even uploading a picture cost money? And you still get ads? Sheesh talk about greedy. You know greed is a sin right?! **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We hear you, and we’d love to offer more free features — but due to the high costs of developing and running advanced AI tools, Lume currently requires a subscription. We truly appreciate you giving the app a try and hope to make it more accessible in the future. ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-12-07* Proceed at your own risk. After subscribing be prepared to pay and pay and pay more to make any use of these tools. You subscribe for the privilege to pay more to actually use the program. They “give” you 60 “coins” every 196 hours but it takes 120 coins to create an ai profile. The catch is you have to use the coins you’re given during that 196 hours. The coins you are given aren’t really yours, they don’t accumulate. It’s a bloody fukn scam. Don’t buy it, you’ll just end up bitter and resentful wishing them the failure they so richly deserve. **Developer response:** Hello. You do not need to purchase extra coins unless you run out of your weekly 60 coins and want to unlock more content before they renew. You only need to buy coins if you want more content than what the weekly coins can unlock. We hope this clears up the confusion! We hear you and we'd love to offer more free features, but due to the costs of developing and running advanced AI tools, for now, Lume requires a subscription and coin system. We truly appreciate you checking out the app and hope to make it more accessible over time. ### 1/5 — Ai tryout Generator *2025-12-01* I generated a photo and it took hours it won’t let me download another or delete the generated photo in process. Terrible!!!! 😡 **Developer response:** Hi. We are sorry for your negative experience. If you report the problem by contacting us via lume@catchmobiletech.com so that we can provide a better experience, our technical team will do their best to investigate and resolve the issue immediately. ### 1/5 — One time use *2025-11-30* You can only make one AI profile and you can’t edit it later. So paying a monthly fee is a scam. It’s extra money on top of that to be able to do anything with it. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for using Lume! Currently, the app doesn’t allow replacing or deleting an existing AI profile, but you can absolutely create a new one using your new set of photos. Just follow the same steps you did before to upload as much as pictures you can— the app will treat it as a brand new profile creation. ### 1/5 — Review *2025-11-23* Selection is low. AI is way off from my image **Developer response:** Hello. We understand your concern about the AI-generated styles not looking like you. Our AI Photo Generator feature is still in development, and we’re constantly working to improve its accuracy and results. Please make sure your app is updated to the latest version, as we regularly release improvements based on user feedback like yours. The styles are generated using AI, and sometimes they may not perfectly match your appearance—but we’re actively enhancing this feature to make it better and more personalized. ### 1/5 — Too expensive and needs work *2025-11-18* Base fee plus you have to use virtual coins. The base fee gives X virtual coins which are spent when images are generated. If you spend all the coins you have to buy more unless you wait for them to be replenished. On top of that, some of the images generated cut off your face but still cost a coin. It’s a waste of money. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We hear you and we'd love to offer more features, but due to the costs of developing and running advanced AI tools, for now, Lume requires a subscription and a coin system. We truly appreciate you checking out the app and hope to make it more accessible over time. ### 1/5 — Refund needed *2025-11-14, version 1.0.15* Charged for a year when done for a week ### 1/5 — Ai app review *2025-11-07* First the app costs money, then they limit your choices of pictures, you get the first picture with the cost of the app then every picture after is like $7. It is a huge ripoff and you look better in real life than these pictures **Developer response:** Hello, with an active Lume subscription, you get 60 coins every week no need to buy more unless you want extra content before they renew. But we agree; your real look is always the best! Thanks for the feedback 💫 ### 1/5 — Terrible appt *2025-11-05, version 1.0.12* Trying to get my money back this appt is a scam! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 3/5 — Nice *2026-03-06* Needs work. Iinitially it works well but when adding people it isn’t generating the pic. Contacted support for assistance 2 times and nothing has been resolved. Sm disappointed. **Developer response:** Merhaba! Uygulamanın beklentilerini karşılamadığı ve teknik bir sorunla karşılaştığın için üzgünüz. Oluşturma hatasını ve destek deneyimini tekrar incelemek isteriz. Lütfen lume@catchmobiletech.com adresine bir e-posta gönderir misin, böylece sana doğrudan yardımcı olabiliriz. ### 3/5 — Too slow *2025-11-11, version 1.0.14* Slow ### 3/5 — Didn’t work *2025-10-05, version 1.0.9* Results came out quite well, had to pay subscription to use the filters. Took a long time - overnight for it to work and won’t allow you to start other projects until first complete but eventually it did and a pretty good job. ### 2/5 — Ai *2026-01-15, version 1.0.22* Don’t really look like me ### 2/5 — Way too expensive *2025-10-14* You pay for a subscription but then you have to buy coins to use the app?!? This is ridiculous. **Developer response:** Hello, Thanks for reaching out to us and for using Lume! With your Lume subscription, whether weekly or yearly, you receive 60 coins every week, and they renew automatically as long as your subscription is active. You don’t need to purchase extra coins unless you’ve used up your weekly 60 coins and want to unlock more content before they refresh. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
