### 2/5 — App too particular about photos submitted

*2024-05-07, version 2.6.7*

App kept rejecting my photos for being too small or not having enough “context” (background). So I took professional photos from Unsplash and they were also rejected! Got no results at all from this app.

### 3/5 — Fun, but far from perfect

*2023-11-16, version 1.9.4*

I’m giving it 3 stars because several of my photos generated were men.  Devilishly handsome men but I identify as a woman.  One photo even had my race wrong.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2023-11-11, version 1.9.4*

For £7.99 I feel most of the photos we great! I the odd one didn’t quite look like me, but that’s understandable. I would say that 98% of the 100 photos generated were great. I would definitely use this app again. And I will use these photos for my professional and social profiles.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2023-11-10, version 1.9.4*

Says it takes less than an hour to get results. Currently have been waiting for 1,141 minutes or 19.02 hours.

### 4/5 — Good app for sure

*2023-11-07, version 1.9.3*

I recently had the opportunity to try out this app, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. This app is a game-changer for anyone who wants to enhance their photos!

### 5/5 — Very cool photography

*2023-11-04, version 1.9.3*

I don't normally go in for this type of thing, but pleasantly surprised by the quality given I didn't even send great photos of myself.? I'll certainly do it again when I have better photos of me!

### 5/5 — Absolutely must do!!

*2023-11-03, version 1.9.3*

My friend done this and used some of the shots for her work portfolio and I gave it a try bc 7.99 for 100 picks is not bad. When I got them back I was absolutely shocked! Love them 90 out of 100 photos look just like me it’s a must try!

### 5/5 — The quality is off the chart

*2023-10-30, version 1.9.3*

I was amazed at the photos that came back. They made me look like I was a famous male model.  Excellent  !

### 1/5 — Not worth it.

*2023-10-28, version 1.9.2*

I’m gave a shaved bald head and it gave me hair. Stupid and waste of money.

### 5/5 — Top Quality for a very modest price! Kudos this is my third return for exceptional services

*2023-10-20*

I nearly dropped on the floor, each time I went to use the Mayo app the prints were exceptional in format, backgrounds, and even the garb!! Luv you guys you deserve a commendable honors award for fine work! I was floored. This one’s a keeper! And for the value even less than the price  of a coffee you can’t beat this deal 😉! Thoroughly satisfied with this app. ♥️👋🏻

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not great

*2024-11-16, version 2.6.7*

I used this app hoping to receive a headshot. The pictures were terrible. I wish that I could post a couple for examples to share. The proportion was very off making it unrealistic (i.e. face to small compared to hair). I am black and one of the hairstyles was individual braids at the bottom and straight curled hair on top. I was truly offended by some of the photos. I do not recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Never worked and poor customer support

*2024-06-19, version 2.6.7*

I kept getting the same error message “Generation Quota Exceeded” from day one and could never use to get the headshots. Kept contacting customer support but all they kept saying was there was a bug. Never resolved issue. Canceled after 5 days. Paid 7.99 only to make contact with customer support. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Misleading and scamming

*2024-06-10, version 2.6.7*

How this app is permitted on Appstore is outrageous. They mislead and lie to get to pay for professional pictures that are in reality jokingly unsuitable to any occasion.

### 1/5 — Be careful people

*2024-05-04, version 2.6.7*

No free trial given. Most apps will give a free trial before purchase to prove the quality of their product. Even if it’s only 1-3 days. That’s especially important when it comes to AI apps. Looks like they also switched from a 100-photo batch to a 10-photo subscription based model. Why would you sign up for a subscription if you don’t know the quality of the product? And why wouldn’t they offer a free trial for that exact reason? Just questions you should probably ask yourself.

### 1/5 — This app is a scam

*2024-04-17, version 2.6.6*

Do not buy this app, I purchased it for 8$ and got maybe 3 successful photos for my first batch. The second batch they all looked awful and I tried to do it again but I was told you can only do two batches ever 24 hours. After 24 hours and contacting the creator(who was no help at all and barely responded) I still was unable to start a new batch. I would not recommend this at all.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-03-03, version 2.6.4*

Is this a joke? I could literally make better photos myself in Canva. absolutely awful selection, waste of money. 100% don’t recommend downloading this and then having to wait an HOUR for results.

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work

*2024-02-16, version 2.6*

Right after they took my money their app would launch to a black screen and that’s it. I couldn’t find a way to contact the support. So here I lost 7.99 for absolutely nothing in return.

There should be a buyer protection program at Apple but I don’t think Apple cares anyway.

### 1/5 — Subscribe Bait

*2024-01-13, version 2.5*

This app will not allow you to do anything without subscribing, it’s a big huge waste of my time. Useless app

### 1/5 — I had no idea it was me. Unusable

*2024-01-11, version 2.5*

It changed my features completely. No part on the face is me lol Ridiculous

### 1/5 — Used To Be A Great App

*2023-11-18*

This used to be a great app until they went to a subscription model. You would upload 10 photos and for $5.99. You would get 100 photos back that you could pick from. Now they want you to subscribe during your initial uploads, you’ll upload 10 photos and get 100 back but after that the number drops to 10. And they are 10 of the worst photos I have ever seen in my entire life.  I was more than happy to pay 5.99, give you 10 photos, get 100 back and maybe find two or three that I could use. That was worth the money. The subscription model is a joke.

**Developer response:** Dear user, I'm really sorry for your disappointment regarding the new subscription model.
The subscription model is much more powerful than the one-shot model because it allows - for a given period - to generate as many photos as you want and iterate on the input photos until you get the exact photo you are looking for.
Please reach out to us in the in-app chat if you need help using the new app features.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-03-21, version 2.6.6*

Loved the pics

### 5/5 — Blown away

*2024-01-29, version 2.5.3*

Honestly, I was expecting a bunch of glitchy-looking selfies. But my gosh, I can’t believe how realistic these look! I’m even inspired to start dressing better!

### 5/5 — Best Supporting application

*2023-11-27, version 2.2.1*

I contacted the developer and much to my surprise they replied and was open to my request and use case. My clients were amazed at the renderings resulting in more client’s requesting headshots. Love the team and the approach and the application. I purchased for the year and that is rare. Keep up the amazing work.

### 5/5 — Dynamic Photos!

*2023-11-20, version 2.0.2*

Luv, luv this app. The processor AI does a stupendous job. I was very pleased with the outcome. Kudos! 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Fun all, good pictures, excellent customer service

*2023-11-17*

The title says it all. Had an issue and and David was quick to respond and resolve. Had to do a new batch and they came out great. 

App does have an issue with teeth alignment but all the non teeth ones are great. Some teeth smiles did come out though so it wouldn’t stop me from using this app again. 

I recommend using this app for any headshots you need!

### 5/5 — Works so easy and so well!

*2023-11-13, version 1.9.4*

The results are tremendous! Not disappointed

### 5/5 — Fascinating!

*2023-11-12, version 1.9.4*

I wanted to update my profile photo and thought I’d give this a whirl.  It’s fascinating!  For $7.99, to get 100 photos tongo through, you can’t beat it.  Some photos are definitely not me but could be a sister, while others are spit on.  Plus, it’s super fun!  Only wish that the bodies were a little more common.  The boney collar bones and shoulders do not match my physique.  It’s worth it!

### 5/5 — Easy to use and great results

*2023-11-10, version 1.9.4*

Loved it!  So easy to use and great results.  Some photos were clearly not quite me but equally, fun to see.  I have used one for my LinkedIn profile that is well over due a refresh.  A couple of suggestions for you, would be good to have an option to tone down some of the airbrushing, and an option to remove earrings or jewellery , or colourise a black and white and vice Versa.  Great product all round and I liked that it is free to get a sample selection of watermarked photos before taking the next step to buy.  Price point extremely very good for 100 photos considering the cost of a professional headshot photographer.

### 5/5 — Amazing technology and photos

*2023-11-09, version 1.9.3*

This is game changing technology, sorry to those professional head shot photographers but this gave me professional photos without going to one. V easy to use and i liked that there was a range from glamorous to casual. I had a question and the technical support was great, a real person on the end.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2023-11-07, version 1.9.3*

My wife said looks better than real life. Now she is getting me new wardrobe so I can look more like the photos…
