Used to work BUT

*update 6/28/26: I decided to try reinstall per a response email letter. Apple store offered a download of latest compatible version. Will update again after another trial run.

*original review: It don’t work anymore. Barely does anything. Maybe one out of five… offers no explanation. Basically useless. I’m deleting and getting back 370mb disk space back.

Pas favorable

Sur les ancienne photoss les couleurs ne sont pas améliorées. Pire, elles sont complètement changées

Response from developer

Bonjour, merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes désolés que les couleurs générées sur vos anciennes photos ne vous aient pas semblé naturelles. La colorisation par IA peut parfois modifier les tons de manière incorrecte selon la qualité de la photo, le contraste, les détails, l’éclairage et l’état de l’image d’origine. Nous continuons à améliorer le rendu des couleurs afin d’obtenir des résultats plus fidèles et plus naturels.

Not what I expected

This APP is not what I expected. I have an old 1970's photo that is fading and I wanted to bring it back to life. All it did was blur the jpeople in the photo. Unfortunately, once you subscribe, you have to wait a year before it is cancelled. Another mistake made when dealing with computer APPS.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry Pholorize blurred the people in your old photo instead of restoring it as expected. Very faded photos can be challenging for AI restoration, especially when faces, contrast, or fine details are already weak, but the result should still look natural and useful. We’ll keep improving restoration quality for older photos. Also, subscriptions can be canceled anytime through your Apple ID settings; canceling stops the next renewal, while access may remain active until the current subscription period ends.

A good app

Realistic colors, very simple to use. Good, reliable results in a entry-level app. Very good assistance.

Lifetime anbieten - und dann doch ein Monatsabo!?

Ich weiß ja nicht was genau man damit bezweckt - aber in der App-Beschreibung zu den In-App-Einkäufen steht ein Angebot für Lifetime. Auch wenn man in der App dieses Angebot annehmen will wird es auch angeboten - aber wenn man es anklickt kommt man auf ein Monatsabo für 9,99 Euro … nein Danke.

Response from developer

Hallo, danke für den Hinweis. Das Lifetime-Angebot war früher verfügbar und kann in bestimmten Zeiträumen wieder angeboten werden, ist aber aktuell nicht dauerhaft aktiv. Derzeit sind in der App nur Monats- und Jahresabos verfügbar. Es kann sein, dass frühere oder zeitweise verfügbare In-App-Käufe weiterhin in der App-Store-Übersicht erscheinen, auch wenn sie momentan nicht als aktives Angebot in der App angeboten werden. Wir werden weiter daran arbeiten, die verfügbaren Optionen so klar wie möglich darzustellen.

Color was maybe OK, but resolution was 100 times worse!!

A good way to ruin your photo collection

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry the colorized result lost so much resolution. Pholorize should preserve photo quality as much as possible while colorizing, and we understand how important that is when working with old photo collections. We’ve continued improving export quality, restoration, and processing since then, and we’ll keep working to make colorized results sharper and more faithful to the original photo.

Don’t waste your money

The photos look worse than the original. No controls to adjust.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry the results looked worse than the original photos. AI colorization and restoration should improve the image without making it feel overprocessed or unnatural. We also understand that users need more control over the final result. Since then, we’ve added more adjustment tools and continued improving colorization, restoration, and export quality. We’ll keep working to make Pholorize more flexible and reliable.

Rip Off

The app does nothing at all - your basic scanner does these same things. Not worth the money.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry Pholorize didn’t feel useful or worth it for you. The app is meant to go beyond scanning by using AI colorization, restoration, enhancement, and photo improvement tools, but we understand the results need to show clear value. We’ve continued improving the quality of colorization, restoration, and export since then, and we’ll keep working to make the difference more noticeable and useful.

Would love to give my $35, but can’t test the functions

I would rate this higher, but I have no idea what functionality this app actually has. I want to see one, one, sample from my library but the demo doesn’t allow for seeing that. Please allow at least one result, and then don’t let me export, just so I know what I am buying.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We agree that users should be able to see what Pholorize can do before deciding. In the current version, if you colorize a single photo instead of using batch processing, you can preview the colorized result after processing. Export and some advanced options may require Pro, but you should be able to view the result first. We’ll keep improving the trial experience and make this clearer inside the app.

Erreur de couleur des jambes

Les jambes des personnages sont toujours bleus…

Response from developer

Bonjour, merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes désolés que certaines zones de peau, comme les jambes, soient colorisées en bleu. La colorisation par IA peut parfois mal interpréter certaines parties d’une ancienne photo selon l’éclairage, le contraste, les ombres ou l’état de l’image originale. Nous continuons à améliorer la détection des tons de peau et le rendu des couleurs afin d’obtenir des résultats plus naturels et cohérents.

Just junk

Don't bother to look at it. There are far better apps online.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback. We’d like to understand what disappointed you most — colorization quality, restoration results, controls, export quality, or something else. More specific feedback helps us improve Pholorize in the areas that matter most.

Ne tient pas ses promesses

J’avais bénéficié il y a 3 semaines d’un compte gratuité à vie. En voulant utiliser l’appli aujourd’hui, je vois que la fonctionnalité a été désactivée. Très décevant de la part de l’éditeur.

Not working - Server down even for pro member

Good potential seen in App Store photos but unable to see it working in reality dit to server error ( pro member)

Response from developer

Hi, sorry about the issue. Please try using the app again. If the issue persists, please contact us at support@rayinformatics.com.

限免不见选项

限免选项找不到

无法使用

软件界面简洁得真简洁。软件图标设计很赞,让人有下载的欲望。无法保存的问题可以通过调完色后截图的方式解决。完美的软件!

A éviter

Ne fonctionne pas avant de lui donner accès à tout...

Response from developer
