This was on the free version. It said 1-6 hours. I decided to leave the tab open in case it needed that. A day passed. It was still training. A second day passed. It was still training. What am I doing wrong here in where 1-6 hours can turn to 48+ hours? ### 2/5 — Not great *2023-05-22* I’ve seen others write that they waited an entire day for it to train an image. Well… I’ve been waiting three weeks, and it says it’s still training. The update seemed to do absolutely nothing because it’s still training. It did some great stuff, but it doesn’t work, and it doesn’t seem to be a way to get a hold of the developers or the programmers or anyone. Let’s face it. Ai is cool when it works but maybe we should just stick with humans. ### 5/5 — Deleting Question *2023-05-11* How do you remove pictures from profile ? ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2023-05-03* Based on other reviews, looks like I’m not the only for whom the app stopped working. Which means I just spent a load of money for NOTHING. And to boot, NO ONE responded to my multiple requests for support. Don’t waste your money. The app should not even be offered for downloading anymore. ### 1/5 — . *2023-04-23* التطبيق سيء كان أفضل بكثير.. أصبح مجرد تطبيق تجاري يريد منك الحصول على المال فقط! كانت هنالك تجارب عديدة لأضافة مجموعة من الصور مجاناً ولكن لغيَ التطبيق هذهِ الميزة واصبح مجرد تطبيق مدفوع! The app is bad. It was much better.. It has become just a commercial app that only wants you to get money! There were many experiments to add a group of images for free, but the application canceled this feature and became just a paid application! ### 3/5 — Didn’t work for me nor my friends! *2023-04-22* This app, when works, is amazing and delivers stunning avatars. That was several months ago and today when I tried another training, it never finished training! It’s been an entire day and it never finished! This has been the same result for my friends too, who are also disappointed. This app has so much potential but I’m afraid I can’t recommend it anymore if Namesake isn’t able to fix this. Many other users are experiencing this too and they are not willing to address it. ### 2/5 — App not working *2023-03-31* I paid for extra credits as well as an additional training subject. My first training took over 3 days and the extra one I paid for has taken over two weeks and still says training. I have asked for a refund ### 1/5 — Stuck on AI training *2023-03-28* The app has been stuck on AI training for more than 12 hours now. I tried to delete it and reinstall it again but each time I tried to use it,its still stuck on a Ai training since yesterday I’ve tried it several times and it’s not working ### 1/5 — DELETE MY ACCOUNT!!! *2023-02-26, version 1.0.9* IVE NEVER SEEN AN APP THAT DID NOT HAVE A CANCEL ACCOUNT OPTION! 🤬 ### 2/5 — Forever Training *2023-02-18, version 1.0.9* This app says the model will need 1-6 hours to train. It’s been two days. The credit I’ve paid for can’t be used. Very disappointed. ## Frequently asked questions about Namesake ### What does Namesake AI do?
