### 1/5 — 最低だ

*2026-08-03*

生成できる動画が少ない。生成できる動画も変な動画ばかりで嫌になった。金を払って損した。

**Developer response:** ご意見をいただきありがとうございます。生成回数の少なさ、結果のクオリティにご不満だったとのこと、申し訳ございません。品質改善に努めております。詳しい状況はアプリ内の「サポートに連絡」からお知らせいただけますと助かります。ご不便をおかけしお詫び申し上げます。

### 4/5 — Not bad but needs more work!

*2026-07-12*

I can see a potential for this app and optimistic about it, so that’s why I’m rating 4 stars. Here is what needs more work on - 
- The quality of the HD image turning into a Live Image seems to go down. It looks pixelated. Maybe there should be a fix for this. 
- For some reason, it’ll reject a photo based on safety checks but when I upload another image that is extremely similar, it’ll go through. 
- Some Live Photos go too fast.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and the 4-star rating! We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. You're right about the image quality drop and the slow playback speed of some Live Photos. We're already working on a fix, and an update will be out very soon. We'll keep improving until we earn that 5th star!

### 1/5 — Low quality

*2026-06-25*

I tried it because there was an advertisement on Instagram.
I don't think the subscription is worth it

**Developer response:** Thank you for the honest feedback, and sorry mochi fell short. We're actively working on improving both the experience and the value we offer. Updates are on the way.

### 5/5 — 最高

*2026-06-19*

無料は一応最初からやってくれるけど、時間が経ってからまたできる。広告とかないから大丈夫!!最高だよ！イラストも動くし、やり方もちゃんと教えてくれるよ。

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！そう言っていただけて、開発者としてとても嬉しいです😊 これからもコツコツとアップデートを重ねて、もっと良いアプリにしていきますので、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします！

### 5/5 — 無題

*2026-06-16*

1部の写真が使用不可な所が少し残念
それ以外は最高に良いものが作れてます

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！そう言っていただけてとても嬉しいです😊

一部の写真が使いづらかった点、申し訳ありません。現在は縦型写真に最適化していますが、横型写真への対応も準備中です！

もっと快適に作品づくりを楽しんでいただけるよう、これからもアップデートを続けていきます。引き続きよろしくお願いします！

### 1/5 — Garbage
