### 2/5 — Only for Paid Personal Accounts

*2026-06-15, version 1.0.34*

Asks to sign in with a Microsoft Account, but then error saying it can’t be a ‘work’ account. 

MS just having Copilot vibe code any old app idea and throw it up on App Stores with zero quality control. Or, MS don’t want small businesses paying for business licences clearly. Fine, I’ll save a lot of money by sticking to a PERSONAL licence for my business!

Seriously, zero intelligence in Microsoft product managers.

### 4/5 — Absolutely love the generative erase!

*2026-04-27, version 1.0.33*

Designer usually does an excellent job of taking out a background or generatively erasing someone or something out of a picture. I’m still toying around with it, but I really like it so far.

### 4/5 — Bad on iPad

*2026-04-01*

On iPad the screen looks too small.

### 2/5 — Gone down in quality

*2026-03-08, version 1.0.33*

Used to love using this app, but the image quality has downgraded with the update. I usually make images of Manhwa style characters.

### 5/5 — Great start MS!

*2026-02-07, version 1.0.33*

Please keep evolving and growing the app to compete with Canva. That is what we need from MS tools.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-02-01*

It creates these heart warming poems in greeting cards it just so amazing there’s so much more I haven’t even done but I love it the AI helps in so many ways and some doesn’t even look AI

### 2/5 — It needs

*2026-02-01, version 1.0.32*

Just doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Great start MS! Keep growing app!

*2026-01-30, version 1.0.32*

Please keep evolving and growing the app to compete with Canva. That is what we need from MS tools.

### 4/5 — Nice, but go after Canva

*2026-01-22, version 1.0.31*

Nice app, but keep evolving as we need something on par with Canva.

*2026-01-20*

Delightful product for all ages.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-01-16, version 1.0.30*

I create very imaginative images. I will generate prompts using AI to craft the perfect prompts, and I will reuse the prompts repeatedly to achieve the image I want.

타케야유키는 귀엽습니다

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2026-04-15*

The latest update uses a different creator than Dall-E 3. It also no longer imports your images to Bing image creator so I can't save to my portfolio. This is the first time I've opened it in the past 3 weeks, then came here to see if you guys unbroke what didn't need fixed. You haven't. I previously used the app numerous times per day.

EDIT: I held on and hoped. But just cancelled my subscription today. Pretty sad about it, really. I spent more time on this app than any other app on my tablet. ☹️

### 1/5 — Verwendung von Bildern nicht möglich

*2026-03-07*

Beim Upload meiner Bilder wird angezeigt „Datei wird nicht unterstützt“. Trotz Versuchen mit jpg und png funktioniert es nicht. Leider unbrauchbar

### 1/5 — さ

*2026-03-03*

アップデートしたら開かない😡

### 1/5 — Changed the way it creates images just like the other apps I used to use.

*2026-03-03, version 1.0.33*

I hate the new update. It changed everything I liked about the app. I won’t be using it anymore unless the old version is brought back.

### 1/5 — What did you do?!

*2026-02-23, version 1.0.33*

There was an update and you ruined this app for me. I pay for credits and now I only get one horrible image instead of 3. It takes forever to load and it’s NOTHING like it use to build for me. I’m canceling my payment plan for credits. HORRIBLE UPDATE!

### 1/5 — I want the old designer back

*2026-02-12, version 1.0.33*

What happened the images are horrible it won’t create anything it tells me it’s not aloud fix it I spend to much money !!!

### 1/5 — ゴミ

*2026-01-21*

クレジットあるのに１クレジット必要です。とだけ表示されて使えない

### 1/5 — 最新バージョンで立ち上がらなくなった

*2026-01-02*

最新バージョンにしたら、アプリをタップしてもすぐ消えてしまうようになりました。改善をお願いします

### 1/5 — Great app, disappointing price

*2025-12-16, version 1.0.30*

I really like the app and the quality of the ai pictures. My only disappointment is the price for the amount of credits. I payed 9.99 a month plus added copilot just to have limited credits that renew only once per month. Too pricey for the amount of credits. I was very sad to cancel my subscription after almost a year.

### 5/5 — Seems broken at the moment

*2026-08-28*

The app is wonderful don’t get me wrong but it just started not generating what I typed in about 30 minutes ago and I don’t know how to fix it I have good wifi and a good cellphone signal

All the young

*2026-06-15, version 1.0.34*

Helps complete image creations. I enjoy the fonts, it’s easy to put a wide variety of fonts on any image.

### 5/5 — J'imagine, j'explique, c'est magique

*2026-05-31*

Je m'amuse en composant, avec l'aide de l'IA, des images. J'apprends peu à peu à utiliser des prompts. Le rendu est vraiment superbe !

### 5/5 — It save my life

*2026-05-30, version 1.0.34*

Great

### 5/5 — It nice

*2026-05-09, version 1.0.34*

Thank you

### 5/5 — 背景透過が完璧。それ以外は...

*2026-04-17*

流石マイクロソフトと言うべきか、他のアプリとは一線を画す程に綺麗に切り取れます。
他の機能はエラーが頻発してロクに使えませんが、背景透過はクレジットを消費せず何度でも無料で行えるので、それだけでも入れる価値アリです

### 5/5 — Designer

*2026-02-07, version 1.0.32*

Having fun creating
