The issues … (1) Constantly plagued with ads for other apps each and every time you switch to a different filter. VERY ANNOYING. (2) Do not expect your filtered photos to come out like the ones shown by the developer in the App Store. They come out grungy and most of the time you cannot tell the difference from on filter to another. I’d say 90% of the time the filters just result in distorted trash. (3) There is no cropping control or cplntrol on the overall picture size. My recommendation is to pass this one up. There are many others out there that get better results than this app. ### 2/5 — Tons of ads *2022-06-13* …and no offer to stop them. Also, some of the filters have watermarks, no offer to remove them. It's a little slow compared to some of the others like this. **Developer response:** I apologize I cannot comply with your wishes😔 We will do our best to improve it. ### 2/5 — Very limited *2021-12-28* Pictures are watermarked. There are no parameters to adjust anything. E.g. colours, resolution and so on. I don’t mind an app serving one function but this does very little and it does not do it well. I will say however that it has potential and does make abstract AI ‘art’. **Developer response:** Thank you for your balanced feedback and for recognizing the app's potential. I'm pleased to inform you that we've addressed these limitations in our new app "AI Artist". It offers extensive customization options including color adjustments, resolution settings, and more, while maintaining the creative AI art capabilities you appreciated. I invite you to try AI Artist for a much-improved experience with all the controls you were looking for. Your feedback helps us create better apps. - Sato ### 3/5 — バリエーション豊富 *2021-11-23* 他の方のレビューにもありましたが、本当にパンみたいになりますww 綺麗な絵画よりは、不気味な絵画を作りたい人に向いていると思います。 画風のバリエーションが年代ごとに豊富なので、色々試してみると面白いです。 難しいかもしれませんが、シュールレアリズム調の追加希望です。 **Developer response:** ユーモアのある楽しいレビューをありがとうございます！ パンのような見た目になるという特徴を面白く捉えていただき、嬉しく思います。シュールレアリズム調のスタイル追加というご提案、ありがとうございます。新アプリ「AI Artist」では、このようなユーザーの皆様からのご要望を反映し、より多様なアートスタイル（シュールレアリズムを含む）を実装しています。 NeuralPaintの全機能を改良し、より自然な画風変換とさらに多くの表現が可能になりました。ぜひAI Artistで新しい創造的な可能性を探ってみてください。 今後もより良いアプリを目指して努めてまいります。 - Sato ### 3/5 — とても面白い *2021-06-19* とても面白いが人間がそう認識されることが 少なく、パンみたいになる。 **Developer response:** ユーモアのあるレビューをありがとうございます！ 人物の認識についてのご指摘、理解いたしました。新アプリ「AI Artist」では、AIモデルを大幅に改良し、より正確な人物認識と自然な画風変換を実現しています。NeuralPaintの全機能も改善し、統合しました。 より自然で多様な表現が可能になった AI Artist で、新しい創造的な可能性を探ってみてください。 今後もより良いアプリを目指して努めてまいります。 - Sato ### 1/5 — Horrible Filters *2021-02-04* Ever single photo- no matter if it’s scenery, a portrait, food, geometric patterns; it all looks like nothing. Just a weird pattern that makes the whole picture unrecognizable. I had high hopes for this app, but I was totally disappointed. I would give 0 starts, but it doesn’t allow less than 1 star. **Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback. I sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations. I'm pleased to inform you that we've addressed these issues in our new app "AI Artist". It features significantly improved image recognition and style transfer quality across all types of photos - from landscapes to portraits and everything in between. I invite you to try AI Artist, where you'll find enhanced artistic effects that maintain the recognizable features of your original photos while applying beautiful artistic styles. Your feedback helps us create better apps. - Sato ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — STILL HORRIBLE … Extremely poor and rude service. *2023-04-03* 31 Oct 2022 Actually, I would like to rate this at 1 star; but, will give it the benefit of doubt. The issues Constantly plagued with ads for other apps each and every time you switch to a different filter. VERY ANNOYING. Do not expect your filtered photos to come out like the ones shown by the developer in the App Store. They come out grungy and most of the time you cannot tell the difference from on filter to another. I'd say 90% of the time the filters just result in distorted trash. There is no cropping control or cpintrol on the overall picture size. My recommendation is to pass this one up. There are many others out there that get better results than this app. 22 Mar 2023 It only took close to 5 months for the developer to respond to my review on 31 Oct 2022. Others have also mentioned the definite lack of quality of the filters and thd ads are just miserable. Now when Mr. Kazuya Saito replies with the statement, “I apologize I cannot comply with your wishes.” Ot just sends a message to all users that “He WILL NOT COMPLY’ in essence he does not support his app. Pretty rude of Mr. Saito. Well, sayonara, Mr. Saito. I will never invest in any app you have in the app store. Sell trash, earn trash! Developer Response I apologize I cannot comply with your wishes We will do our best to improve it. Mar 22 **Developer response:** I apologize I cannot comply with your wishes😔 We will do our best to improve it. ### 1/5 — Seems like a scam *2022-09-11* Don’t fall for it this app claims dozens of different art styles but you’ll quickly notice they are all identical renders, all it does is change the colors and add or subtract noise. They really phoned this one in. **Developer response:** I apologize I cannot comply with your wishes😔 We will do our best to improve it. ### 1/5 — Horrendous resolution *2022-07-14* Basically a scam app in that it produces blurry butt ugly manipulations. **Developer response:** I apologize I cannot comply with your wishes😔 We will do our best to improve it. ### 1/5 — Just gets stuck! *2022-06-14* Selected a filter, you see making progress… and then, nothing! 😒 **Developer response:** I am so sorry to trouble you 😢 We are now investigating the causes. ### 1/5 — Gimmick copy and paste app *2022-06-07* This app is awful don’t be fooled by the exterior appearance there are lots of ads and the filters are not only terrible and low quality but they are all the exact same just with different shading and color, so many better ai art apps than this it’s laughable **Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback. I hear your concerns about the app's limitations. I'm happy to inform you that we've addressed these issues in our new app "AI Artist", which features improved image quality, more diverse artistic styles, and a better ad experience. I encourage you to try "AI Artist" for a significantly enhanced experience.

Images of this size and quality are useless. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I understand your frustration with the image quality and lack of settings. I'm pleased to inform you that we've addressed these issues in our new app "AI Artist", which features high-resolution outputs, extensive customization options, and enhanced image quality. I encourage you to try AI Artist for a significantly improved experience. Your feedback helps make our apps better. - Sato ### 1/5 — ADS ADS ADS *2022-02-13* First photo taken, immediately a Ad. The app wanted complete access to my photos as well. And to send notifications, why for a photo retouch app. I should have read the reviews first. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback about the app permissions and ads. I understand your concerns about privacy and user experience. Our new app "AI Artist" features a more transparent permission system, reduced ads, and clearer explanations for requested access. It also includes all the enhanced features from NeuralPaint plus many more artistic styles. I invite you to try AI Artist for a much-improved experience. Your feedback helps us create better apps. - Sato ### 1/5 — Output is tiny *2022-01-25* If this saved images that were larger than 340x256 pixels it would be fun, but it doesn't. Ads and tiny output make this app useless. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I understand your frustration with the output resolution and ads. I'm pleased to inform you that we've addressed these issues in our new app "AI Artist", which features high-resolution outputs and an improved ad experience. I invite you to try AI Artist for a much-improved experience with the larger image sizes you were looking for. Your feedback helps us create better apps. - Sato ### 1/5 — Love ads and tiny blurry images? *2021-12-12* If you love tiny blurry images and having to watch commercials and view ads, then this is the perfect app for you. If you don’t, the look elsewhere. I suppose all the people who gave this five stars enjoy being bombarded with ads and commercials and love tiny blurry images. I don’t, so I deleted this mess in a few minutes once it became clear this was just a garbage app designed to host ads and commercials. It’s like clickbait, only in an app format…(appbait?) Hard pass… I’d rather pay $20 for an app that actually does something, renders images at the same resolution as the image you use and isn’t appbait. **Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback. I understand your frustration with the resolution limitations and ad experience. I'm pleased to inform you that we've addressed these issues in our new app "AI Artist", which features high-resolution outputs and an improved ad experience. Our newer app offers the quality you were looking for, with significantly better image resolution and processing capabilities. Your feedback helps us create better apps. - Sato ### 1/5 — NullPaint? *2021-08-10* HD input, ultra-low-res output, but with big, huge, fat ads… 😑 **Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Je comprends votre frustration concernant la résolution et les publicités. Je suis heureux de vous informer que nous avons résolu ces problèmes dans notre nouvelle application "AI Artist", qui offre une sortie haute résolution et une expérience publicitaire améliorée. Je vous invite à découvrir AI Artist pour une expérience considérablement améliorée.

This app is a great option since it gives you a lot of options and opportunities to choose what you want. Especially when you can enhance the art by rendering it through multiple photo enhancing apps and softwares. I loved it. But I do wish there are more improvements in this. **Developer response:** Hi!

Could be great *2021-12-24* The images saved by this are impossibly small to do anything useful with besides insta or fibby. It would be superb if it generated the same size file as was input to it… Outside of this… well done **Developer response:** Thank you for your positive review and helpful feedback! I'm excited to let you know that we've addressed the resolution limitation in our new app "AI Artist". It now supports high-resolution outputs that maintain the quality of your input images, along with all the features you enjoyed in NeuralPaint plus many more artistic styles. I invite you to try AI Artist for an enhanced experience with the full-size outputs you were looking for. I appreciate your support and feedback! - Sato ### 3/5 — For simple pics *2023-03-03* If the picture was minimalistic so it works, sometimes it was beautifully. If the picture was detailed, after applying a filter, most of the details disappear and the picture becomes not beautiful, just for me **Developer response:** I apologize I cannot comply with your wishes😔 We will do our best to improve it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
